How do you like to play your Sims?
I most like to create a skinny intellectual guys in glasses , or lovable fat man like me;)
Then my nerdy sim j try to seduce some attractive chick from a higher league (at least my sim will have more luck:- in .... )

When I play Sims, I make a family that grows larger and branches out. I pretend that a story is going on, and I basically role-play through the game by myself. It's hard to do, but I do it sometimes anyway.

I play My Sims series. Does that count?
When I create my character avatar, I make it like I really am, but I usually form it to how I see myself in my head, sort of an "ideal" form. Basically, what I do is make the skin the same color as my birthmark (a bit darker than my normal skin color), make the hair longer than it really is, and make my eyes more golden brown (I call my real eyes that, but everyone says "hazel"). If I can, I'll give myself fangs and cat eye pupils. If I'm feeling a strong enough emotion for a long period of time, I'll change it to reflect that. Usually, it's just when I'm feeling more......less than my usual happy self? It's hard to explain, but it's like a mix of sad/angry/angst/along those lines of aura being darker but not evil. Basically, when I'm upset, I change the hair and make it short, black, and spiky; make the smile into a frown, may add a scar or other mark, and dress "myself" in black. If I'm not like that, then I'm in purple and looking happy and more like my usual self.
I'm more "mission oriented" than anything else. I try to do everything and collect everything. I do the same with Animal Crossing.

Usually try to make a couple that's elven-like. Effeminate male and likewise female!

I make the husband a painter, and the wife a writer/gardner. Because artistic duos of husband/wife are amazing.

No kids, because they are little s**ts that ruins the peace and tranquility of this wonderful elven-like couple.

Yay, a Sims thread!

I play the Sims 2. I have nearly all the expansion packs.
I either create a couple living a quiet life in the country, or a noisy family with children and boisterous dogs.

I love building houses the best though. If I want to play a couple peacefully living in the countryside, I like to build a cottage with a beautiful garden. I make the man go to work, while the woman stays at home and just does housecleaning and has little hobbies to occupy herself like cooking or gardening. I usually make them have some cats. Sometimes this can get a little boring though, so I get more of a kick out of building the cottage and putting all the furniture in it and making it look realistic, not just a bland Sims house with grey walls and a cheap bed randomly in the little of a big empty room.

When I want to play a family, I make more of a modern house, and try to make it look messy by making the rooms big enough to be able to move around in without getting in each other's way but not too big. I use cheats, so I usually just make a single parent bringing up a teenager, a couple of kids and a toddler, and also having two big dogs. I do want to make a story on the Sims, about a hectic household, but it's not as easy as I thought.

" (we both make a lot of Sims custom content and are both well known in the community for that). She mostly loved the animations and the much improved character design ......"

badwhippet, as a fellow Aspie I would like very much to see what you have created for the game. What is your members name on #3? I find that I spend just as much time searching for houses for my game as I do actually playing it. It's amazing to see what people have created for the game. There are quite a few on the Exchange that look much better than the ones here in Kissimmee, Florida.

I usually create mish-mash of characters from different TV shows and video games and see how they get on.
My favourite thing to do is create a houshold of villans from different things and watch them hate on each other.
Creating 'The Young Ones' houshold is always fun too.

In The Sims 3 I've created many Sims based on Super Mario, Harverst Moon and even Sonic Characters. I've made Sims modeled after Jessica Rabbit, Roger Rabbit (dressed in a rabbit suit and overalls), The Flintstones, the Rubbles, Jon Arbuckle, Garfield and Odie, Liz Wilson the vet, Nermal and Arlene, Tinkerbell, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, The Smurfs, Monster High and My Little Pony FIM as both humans and horses. The Sims 4 doesn't have things like a color wheel that lets me be as creative, but that could be to make the game load faster, the Sims 3 takes too much time loading or saving. I did however make a Sim in the 4th game in a kind of Minnie Mouse costume. If only I could make her a Mickey Mouse Sim but there are no hats or hairstyles that resemble mouse ears for male Sims and they can't even wear gloves.

They came out with Star Wars costumes for the Sims 4 around Halloween, but personally I'm not really a fan. I'm hopping they'll ad some cool outfits for Christmas like Santa or elves.

More relaxed and laid-back avatar version of me. Always look relaxed and enjoying the life. I always make my guy a painter or unemployed...

If you read the last message I wrote you will notice that I am very much interested in the creations made by people from this website. Could I get peoples' nicknames for game's website so that I can see them and download them for my game? Please!

Creating houses, or Sims, is something I am not successful at doing.
