Okay, a slight exaggeration... there's actually only 30, but close enough. This is just a "get to know how others play" type survey. It's meant for fun ONLY! (in other words, please don't criticize ...
Forum Discussion
1. What is your favourite version of the Sims.
I guess The Sims 4 would be the most fitting answer for me, but that's not to say it isn't flawed. I just play it the most because I find it hard to go back to the previous games and have to adjust to an older UI. That goes for any game series, really.
2. What are 3 things that make it your favourite.
CAS, performance (TS3 is still rough at times on my fairly expensive gaming pc), graphics.
3. What is your favourite season to play in?
Summer. I like classic summer activities like swimming, BBQ parties, water slide, etc.
4. Do you use mods? CC? both?
Both. Although I only use CAS CC, no build/buy CC.
5. What are your 3 favourite traits/personality types?
Music lover, creative, and ambitious are some that I use frequently. But the traits selection in TS4 is terrible tbh. TS3 traits are superior.
6. What is your favourite career to play?
I still find the actor career to be the most fun, although I don't play it constantly because it would get repetitive.
7. What is your favourite life stage?
Young adult
8. Do you do challenges? If so, which ones?
Every time I've started a challenge, I never finish it. The ones I've tried have been the Not So Berry challenge and the Disney princess one.
9. Do you play with a simself?
Rarely. But I use my simself for my 'supersim' (sim that has completed every career, aspiration, uni degree, etc).
10. Do you prefer Alpha or Maxis Match?
Maxis Match 100%
11. Which versions of the sims have you played?
Technically all of them, although I've only played TS2 for a total of like 2 hours. I got the complete collection for free when they were giving it away a few years back, and I had a hard time getting into it because it was so overwhelming with all of the packs.
12. Do you also enjoy the Sim City series?
Haven't played it. Except I think I did play the mobile version a bit. Lost interest in that as quickly as any free-to-play app.
13. Is Sims (any version) your favourite game or do you prefer another? If another, what one?
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic 2 is my favorite video game. I play it less than The Sims, only because you can only play the same story over again so often.
14. What's your favourite world in the sims universe to play in?
Windenburg
15. Which sims world would you most want to live in?
Windenburg
16. What are your favourite packs? Pick 5.
Hm.. Sticking to TS4 (because I'm at the point where my memory of what came from what pack in TS3 is foggy now), my favorites would be City Living, Get Famous, Seasons, Discover University, and Parenthood. Not necessarily in that order.
17. What are your 3 favourite build mode objects?
This is tough lol. Off the top of my head, I'm going to go with the wishing well, sauna, and bowling lane thing.
18. Are there any packs you don't have? If so, do you want them?
I don't have Vampires, Realm of Magic, or Spooky Day. I don't want them because, as for Vampires and Spooky Day - Spooky aesthetic is not my taste. Also I found Vampires annoying in TS3, so I don't want them back. And a SP devoted to one holiday seems pretty useless to me. I might get it at some point for the costumes. As far as Realm of Magic - I was never into Harry Potter, and the pack seems so heavily inspired by it to me. I'm more into Lord of the Rings/World of Warcraft when it comes to a magical fantasy theme.
19. Do you play with premades? If so, who are your favourites?
I don't play with premades, but the Goth family have been my favorites since TS1.
20. What life state do you like best?
Human.
21. Do you use cheats? Which ones?
Kind of? I have a mod that makes cas.fulleditmode enabled automatically. Sometimes I use UI cheats to make a moodlet go away if it doesn't work in my 'story'. Like, my sim doesn't need to be sad for 2 days because her neighbor that she met once passed away.
22. Do you make celebrities/fictional characters etc? If so do you play them or let them wander the background?
I let celebrities and fictional characters wander around my game, because it can be funny to say "Oh, Leonardo DiCaprio just got into a brawl with grandma."
23. If you could add any 3 features from a different version of the sims to your favourite version of the sims, what would it be?
I'd put the traits system, color wheel, and create-a-style features from TS3 into TS4.
24. What are your favourite hobbies in the sims?
Any musical hobby. Cooking and baking are fun too, because I like my sims to have a variety of different meals to cook.
25. Do you kill sims purposely?
I mean, if you want a sim to die for story purposes in TS4, you kind of have to kill them on purpose. I rarely have sims die in a truly accidental manner in TS4. Which is something I dislike. Give me death or give me... death!
26. What is your favourite aspiration?
I don't really have a favorite, I just pick them based on what career/life goals that sim will have.
27. Do you play with pets? If so, what kinds?
I have a cat or a dog occasionally.
28. Do you prefer playing sims lives, building their homes, or creating their styles?
Playing in live mode.
29. When did you start playing?
I wanna say probably 2004 is when I first played TS1. Possibly slightly earlier or later, but that's my best rough estimate.
30. What is the name of your newest created Sim?
Zoe Frost is my newest sim, although the Sim I'm playing with most right now is Nyla Wallace (now Landgraab).
