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?
Ooh, I don't know if I have a favourite. I like 2, 3 and 4 for different reasons!
2. What are three things that make it your favourite?
Since I didn't really give a straight answer to the previous question, I'll pick a random reason for each version. Sims 2 - I like the different hobbies. Sims 3 - the open world. Sims 4 - the food options! Cooking, gourmet cooking, baking and all the different festival foods...
3. What is your favourite season to play in?
Hmm... probably Summer.
4. Do you use mods/CC?
Yes. Nowhere near as much as some players. Most of the NRAAS ones for Sims 3, and MCCC, Zerbu's Go to School and TMEX Better Exceptions for Sims 4. I may also get more in future.
5. What are your three favourite traits/personality styles?
Sims 3: Natural Cook, Good Sense of Humour and... hm... Family Oriented. Sims 4: Creative, Foodie and Family Oriented. So fairly similar ones for both!
6. What is your favourite career to play?
Culinary, for Sims 3 and 4.
7. What is your favourite life stage?
I don't have one!
8. Do you do challenges?
No
9. Do you play with a simself?
No. I'd find it too difficult to choose a limited number traits, plus I'd probably find it a bit weird.
10. Do you prefer Alpha or Maxis Match?
Maxis match
11. Which versions of The Sims have you played?
PC: Sims 1, 2, 3 and 4. PS2: Sims 1, Sims Bustin Out, Sims 2, Sims 2 Pets, Sims 2 Castaway. Sims Mobile, Sims Freeplay.
12. Do you also enjoy the SimCity series?
Never played it.
13. Is Sims (any version) your favourite game or do you prefer another?
The Sims is probably my favourite, but I also enjoy playing Minecraft.
14. What's your favourite world in the Sims universe to play in?
Again, I don't have a favourite!
15. Which Sims world would you most want to live in?
Hmm... possibly San Myshuno. I'm a city girl. Bridgeport is somewhat similar but I would be scared of the vampires :D
16. What are your favourite packs? Pick five.
Sims 3: World Adventures, Seasons, Generations, Into the Future, Late Night. Although, to be honest, I like all of them...
Sims 4: City Living, Get to Work, Get Together, Realm of Magic, Seasons. Yet again, I like most of the ones I've purchased, except Outdoor Retreat.
17. What are your three favourite build mode objects?
Pools, spiral staircases, and plants.
18. Are there any packs you don't have? If so, do you want them?
Sims 1: I only ever had the base game. Sims 2: I have all of them! Sims 3: I have all the EPs, and most of the SPs except Diesel Stuff, 70s/80s/90s Stuff and Movie Stuff. Not particularly bothered about all of those. Sims 4: the packs I don't have are Eco Living, Vampires, StrangerVille, Perfect Patio Stuff, Laundry Day Stuff, Moschino Stuff, Tiny Living Stuff and Nifty Knitting stuff. I'd like to get Tiny Living and Nifty Knitting, and possibly Laundry Day. The others I'm not particularly interested in.
19. Do you play with premades?
No. I prefer creating my own Sims and controlling their stories from the beginning.
20. What Life State do you like best?
Normal Sims, Fairies and Spellcasters.
21. Do you use cheats? Which ones?
Yes. Money ones, buydebug (Sims 3), and resetting Sims. Sometimes others, but those are the ones I mostly use.
22. Do you make celebrities/fictional characters?
No. Similar to the simself question, I'd find it too difficult to choose the right traits and to get the look quite right.
23. If you could add any three features from a different version of The Sims to your favourite version, what would it be?
Since I don't have a favourite version, this is difficult! I'll just pick one game to add features to. So... to Sims 3, I'd add the concept of toddlers being able to help themselves to food, the ability to put themselves to bed, and the club system.
24. What are your favourite hobbies in The Sims?
Sims 2: Music and Dance. Sims 3: Martial Arts. Sims 4: Cooking/Gourmet Cooking/Baking.
25. Do you kill Sims purposely?
I have done sometimes, mostly when bored. Only once have I done it for storytelling purposes.
26. What is your favourite aspiration?
Sims 3: possibly reaching the top of the Culinary career. Similar with Sims 4, particularly because I like the reward trait where food never spoils.
27. Do you play with pets? If so, what kinds?
Cats. Also horses in Sims 3.
28. Do you prefer playing Sims' lives, building homes, or creating their styles?
I'm definitely a "playing Sims' lives" person! In fact I can find selecting Sims' outfits and building their homes a little boring. Particularly house building as my architecture and interior design skills are awful!!
29. When did you start playing?
Hm... no idea!
30. What is the name of your newest created Sim?
Sims 3: the Lopez family... the teen son Pablo is the intended romantic interest for one of my main Sims. Sims 4: the Paraskevas family. The child son Alexander is the intended friend and future romantic interest for one of my main Sims... he's only a child right now, so it'll just be a friendship for now.
