- Babykittyjade5 years agoSeasoned AceAll of the above. It's my shopping simulator in cc heaven. It's my dress up doll house. It's there for all my crazy building ideas. I love love family play but that would get boring without occults! And easy rotational play and house hold management let's me tell my story like a movie. Swapping out main and side characters.
Only thing I don't do is legacy or challenges.
I'm probably the only simmer who has only had one in game kid since this game came out.??
I just play with the same toddlers/kids and sims over and over. for years....?
Yep. I hate change in life lol - Bettyboop555 years agoSeasoned AceIt is TS3. Loved TS2 but love TS3 more. The reason is simple and relates to play style. It varies according to mood. At the moment I am on a world building kick which includes building lots. I think once I reach the stage of populating my worlds then I will return to family play to test them properly. I could not do this with TS2 or TS4 or for that matter TS1.
- My favorite game is the Sims 2..
I love creating wacky stories that involve the whole neighborhood. This is why I always play rotationally. In order to get the story moving I have to change households often.
The Sims 3 is also awesome but it's more of a "bigger picture". You can see the whole world progress and if you don't really mind sims doing their thing, you can watch them and control some bigger things.
Like population for example. One cool feature is having several ancestor families and leave the on story progression and see how the families and genetics blend with each other a few generations later. It's the best game to do that. - Chicklet453685 years agoSeasoned AceI start out playing, but then get distracted by needing to update the interior of my house (my sims don't work, they use the magic and wonderful cheat of Motherlode) ...... every single time I start a new game.
When I do finally start playing, I am a realistic family player. I create stories in my head and play them out. - The Sims 3 - Mix of family play that starts with single sim who focused on self achievement first with a little bit of occult added later on, either the patriach or the first generation child become a vampire or werewolf.
- I do a lot of family/rotational. But it's also very career/aspiration/goal oriented for each Sim in a family. Typically I'll have a favorite sim in a family I'll really focus on. All my sims have families, but it's very much secondary to their careers/aspirations.
Sims 2 is my favorite. I started but didn't complete a 100 baby challenge in 4 (lol I got to 8 and realized...yikes). 2 has a great balance of family, career, hobbies, and wacky fun stuff in the base game alone for me. Just adore it (and the music!). Special mentions to Medieval as well.
2 > Medieval > 1 > 3 and 4 - I usually like rotational live mode play but live mode feels so lacking, empty, and predictable that I usually just decorate houses now. ??♀️
- ZombiePary5 years agoSeasoned AceI like both 2 & 3, which, as I mentioned before, I play for different reasons. Sims 2 offers the best in family play, I believe. I just love having huge families in TS2. I play 3 from a more "solo" experience, or, a couple.
Also TS3 has the best gardening I reckon :D - For the first year and a half I just played with the same couple, and upgraded them with the packs as I bought them (they moved to Forgotten Hollow and one of them became a vampire, then they moved to Sulani and the other became a mermaid... :D ). Occasionally I played with Caleb as well, as he was always sneaking into my house to play videogames and befriended my sims.
But then I started revamping other worlds with gallery buildings, and did tons of townie makeovers to play with different families. That’s when the real game started for me! Until them, I have been restricted to the towns I was living/vacationing, ignoring most features of the expansions. I didn’t know Brindleton Bay could be so beautiful until I started playing more on it, same as Strangerville or Windenburg! And having more detailed sims with new relationships inside the neighborhood made my game way richer. The downside is that the game takes more to load in my 2012 Mac, but for me it’s worthy :).
