What are your Sims 3 habits?
« on: November 21, 2013, 05:32:12 PM »
Do you have any habits when playing Sims?
Here are some of mine:
-Making my Sims really skinny
-Using the same few face shapes, eye shapes, nose shapes and whatnot
-Pausing the game too much
-Making my Sims incredibly nice
I'll probably remember more right after I post this, because that's what always happens to me.

I tend to make the same sim over and over... same facial features, same kinds of clothes, same neighborhoods.

I also tend to gravitate towards the same kinds of careers. My sims are most often artists (painters, sculptors) or chefs. I shy away from gardening, fishing, and athletics.

I usually make them look the same, and gravitate towards a gothic look for them. And I like playing writers, artists, and the occasional scientist/gardener.

I tend to go for the same genral skull shape, narrowest settings for width of the head, with a narrow jaw and mouth.  I like a nice sllightly pointed chin.  Though I do sometimes try to recreate tv characters with limited success.  Some hairstyles are just impossible to get.

When my Sim makes a friend, I want them to be best friends - even if it's not necessary.
When I build or buy something, I recolour things to suit my taste - even if it's not necessary.
When I do not know how to proceed, I spent a lot of time simply staring at the screen.

I always seemed to end up with my Sims looking very similar. I always used the same facial features, just changed the hair and coloring. I've always got to have at least one artist/musician as well. I guess being both in real life makes me always choose those traits for my Sims, plus I like to hang the paintings on the wall.
I'm also a chronic cheater lol. Not always, but I always type in testingcheats, just in case I have to quickly slide up a needs bar.

I usually play over the world that I loved; Riverview and I always play that world even I have another world to explore on. And my Sim always end up with Hunter Cottoneye, I don’t know why it seems that I loved him so much.

If I play in Sunset Valley, I usually play as Agnes and bring Erik back from death and they live happily ever after.
Just enjoy being yourself, you're unique, special and no one ever create story like you ♥ - Luna -

I micromanage and constantly queue tons of tasks, then just switch through all my sims over and over. Is so and so still doing what I said to do? Okay go check next one. Super speed through, check everyone again, repeat.

That's what I do for my dynasty.

During normal game play I usually play unemployed sims just so she can party, go uni and make friends - I never make romantic sims or flirty ones 'cause it's too much to trouble dating a dozen people =P

Pause a lot and take hefty amount of screenshot.
Pause on everything, cancel every suspicious meeting.

Yeah, I do the same thing. I need to feel like I'm completely in control of my Sims, so I'm always pausing the game.

Whenever my Sims meet someone, thinking, "ooh, maybe they can date".

Hmmm
I guess making my sim's traits a bit too perfect is one of them.
I also save/save and quit after major events/milestones.
