One Billion Questions...

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 other's game play styles if it differs from yours, haha! I want this to be a happy thread no matter HOW you play and what you enjoy! There are NO right or wrong answers here!)
Also since this is for fun only, if you only want to answer some of the questions that's totally fine!!!! Also, some of your answers will probably be based on your favourite version of the game, that's totally okay if you are answering only with the version you play as not everyone plays them all.

I'll post the questions here and then my personal answers below.

1. What is your favourite version of the Sims.
2. What are 3 things that make it your favourite.
3. What is your favourite season to play in (or say if you don't have seasons)
4. Do you use mods? CC? both?
5. What are your 3 favourite traits/personality types?
6. What is your favourite career to play?
7. What is your favourite life stage?
8. Do you do challenges? If so, which ones?
9. Do you play with a simself?
10. Do you prefer Alpha or Maxis Match?
11. Which versions of the sims have you played?
12. Do you also enjoy the Sim City series?
13. Is Sims (any version) your favourite game or do you prefer another? If another, what one?
14. What's your favourite world in the sims universe to play in?
15. Which sims world would you most want to live in?
16. What are your favourite packs? Pick 5.
17. What are your 3 favourite build mode objects?
18. Are there any packs you don't have? If so, do you want them?
19. Do you play with premades? If so, who are your favourites?
20. What life state do you like best?
21. Do you use cheats? Which ones?
22. Do you make celebrities/fictional characters etc? If so do you play them or let them wander the background?
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?
24. What are your favourite hobbies in the sims?
25. Do you kill sims purposely?
26. What is your favourite aspiration?
27. Do you play with pets? If so, what kinds?
28. Do you prefer playing sims lives, buidling their homes, or creating their styles?
29. When did you start playing?
30. What is the name of your newest created Sim?

The main 4 and freeplay (which I hated haha). But I haven't played 1-3 anywhere near the extent that I play 4. Every once in awhile I boot them up again (well, 2 and 3, I don't have 1 anymore) but end up going back to 4 pretty quick.
