What are your Sims 3 habits?

[RaiaDraconis]

Being the hopeless romantic that I am, I play matchmaker for most if not all of the townies in whatever town I'm playing. Yay for MasterController.

**cough, cough** I got a lot in this category and thought about it the other day. lol.
Like most, I click the exact same default face features. A lot if the time blond hair, really slim, and blue eyes. I guess that's what I wished I looked like. I kind of keep diversity in the clothes a little surprisingly.
I've started a pattern of playing in Hidden Springs. The town is beautiful and love having my wealthy famous sims reside there.
I PAUSE WAY TOO MUCH. Like maybe I think it saves time but I don't think so.
I usually stick to the military career and usually two-four children and for some reason I favor girls more so I get a lifetime supply of watermelon.
There's tons of things I should do more. Like try all careers, discover all recipes, travel more, go to university, ect. I'm trying to get the most out of ts3 before ts4.

I second what simlover16 said about the girls and watermelons. I have a hard time NOT having girls because I like their clothes so much better!

When creating sims:

- They all have wide-ish jaws. I can't make a good heart-shaped face to save my life.
- I'm a sucker for noses with straight or hooked bridges in profile, so most of my created sims have such noses.
- I have the striking inability to make thin lips, so a majority of my created sims have full lips.
- Most of my sims are "sims of an average weight." I don't usually make legitimately overweight sims, but I like my women to have a few curves and my men to be somewhere between average and stocky.
- I obsessively save every new color and recolor of everything I make, no matter how stupid the idea turns out to be.

Though when it comes to sims born in-game, anything goes. One of my favorite sims at the moment has a slim jawline and a slender build, but she was born that way, not made.

When playing my game:

- Fidelity is for chumps. My sims are almost always cheaters.
- Somehow, my families always have a sculptor.
- I'm one of those players that prefers having girls.
- Somehow I want to play a game in a town I've never touched, but I keep loading up Twinbrook and playing there instead!

Hear, hear! (As in, wow-thank-God-someone-has-the-same-habits-I-do!)

I like to save townies to the bin and change them a little in cas. Then my sims don't look the same.

 Well, I'm not always goode-goode if I want to let you know.

When I activated my Angel side
I have soft spot for Sim who has:
- Tragic Background story
- Being an Outcast
- Being bullied by other Simmer
And usually will create story about another side of them that people should know. There must be a reason for what all happened to them. Instead just looking at one way, there are three perspectives. You, Me and the third person
I also try to make their wish become happen like what they stated in their biography
Usually always end with happy end even there’s a tragic story, which will not be long. Because sweet must be taste better after we taste the bitter right?

When I'm being in neutral zone
- Playing Sims like usual, just like the boring me and soon after that quit the game

When I activated my Evil side
- I will ruin Sim life. For example: like having Nick Alto divorced with Vita Alto and being married to Gobias Koffi and having child with him Nick will be the mother as always.
- I once play Andrews family and make Beau as the cheater, I also change his looks completely in CAS so he'll be so different. Victoria will be tortured by Special Sim that she always cared about and find a new love and soon after that end tragically, muahaha... That’s what you get for having Insane Sim.
- I also love enjoyed torture my Sim with so many way before they are death
- My Sim hero/heroine always end tragically even they have a beautiful ending. Soon after wedding Grimmy always come and get one of them
- And so many more, I afraid if I post here would be inappropriate, but you know my minds usually have something that even nastier than what I write here

So which one you prefer

[JudesSims]

I only like happy endings. It must be the Mother/Grandmother in me. Also, my own personality is Good instead of Evil. I seldom play evil sims. They hurt my soft heart.

[Eldridge]

For me creating tragic end easier than happy one, I don't know why death related story always crossed on my mind. I love Romeo and Juliet but I dislike the ending, but I don't know why find that ending quite enjoyable. So, having a dynasty and tried to create a happy ending one for story line is hard for me. Because our reality is not like a fairy tale which always have happy ending forever and ever and end we up with such cliffhanger ending.

But I'm glad that I can do it too, I can create happy ending one. Even while in process making the story tears cannot stop from my eyes, I always end crying. That's also happen when I create background story for Sim who has unlucky background, I always cried, I can't stop my tear falling off again and again. Making stories about them exhausted me so much, but in other side I am glad.

So, that's become my concept for The Watcher and The Destroyer. It’s not always religious theme, it’s all about another side of me.

I believe what we write or we do when playing is a reflection of our soul unconsciously and playing The Sims 3 just one way for us to “escape reality”, we could create anything we want, we could do anything we want like Miley and that's never ever happened to our real life but not always like that so don't take my word too seriously.

So, there are storyteller, builder, fashion designer and photographer as I can see.

I usually end up my Sims with Hunter Cottoneye because I care for those people in real life and I have relative with that illness and I love creating pattern for my Sims clothes when I playing The Sims.

The posts on this thread have been making me smile .and recognising that I have so many Sims3 habits
1 I never play with "bad" traits
2 The traits I always choose are natural cook and bookworm,then whatever other ones I need for my story.
3 My sims all look the same(the YA sim from cas with the pigtails and purple eyes) I then make whatever changes I want to.The men are all "built"!with a cute5 0'clock shadow gracing a strong jawline lol!
4  I very rarely  play families,but if I do they always have girls.
5 I have all EPs and store worlds,but mainly play Sunset Valley.
6 Story progression and ageing are always disabled,I change my households alot so I can keep an eye on them all!!
7 I change the original townies in cas (no lazy,evil sims in my world,thank-you!!  )
8 All my sims's names come from my favourite author's books (Nora Roberts)
azokka361 my sims are not cheaters but I am!! (only in the game of course,not real life!!) I cannot play without "!testingcheatsenabled" I have tried
Oh my that's a lot of habits I'm sure there are more but I think too much confession is bad for you !!! lol

[saltpastillen]

Lol I have so many sim habbits - though this past year I broke my longest standing one of always playing single sims on the epic setting.

1. usually use the normal setting and play more generational games
2. switch between multiple saves that all have their own story
3. have 3 sims folders that are all build only - I spend maybe more time building than playing...
4. never make my sims skinny - I like them with wider heads, so if they are skinny they look weird - besides I like some curves on my sims
5. tend to roll the randomize traits when creating sims and love a sim to have at least one "bad" quality to make them more interesting
6. obsessively make up stories for all my sims
7. pause my game in order to check what everyone is doing
8. forcing my families to do everything together - so I can keep in control of everyone (bad habbit since my Immortal Dynasty days...

I have many more but those will have to do for now

[Eldridge]

Other things that I want to add:

1. I usually end up making Sims with black hair and red eyes or purple hair with blue or red eyes.
2. For men I love making them curvy for women I love making them slim but not too skinny with a big feature
3. For spouses’ criteria, my female Sim end up with curvy men, my male Sim end up with slim women. I don’t care about their traits as long they have that essential criteria my Sims always end up with them anyway
4. I forbid my Sims to cheated over another Sims, even my Sims have Commitment Issue, I as their controller will make them obey my own will to have respect my will and rules “one for eternity”
5. If my Sims have weird attraction to same sex relationship, I usually avoid that. But, if something already happened to them without my supervision (like Kissing), I don’t have a choice to make them loving each other together until Grimmy do them apart.
6. I never use mean interaction unless some Sim betrayed me and my own Sims have their wish to go mean
7. I usually build a little, little house quite comfortable for me
8. If not playing any challenge, I usually have a small family. Two kids are enough!

I think that’s all for now.

I forgot to list my biggest habit. Shame on me.

All of my male sims have beards. All of them. When I had a stylist in my dynasty, every man he made over got some facial hair. Whether it's a soul patch or stubble or a full-on beard, I need my men to look a little scruffy.

[Eldridge]

All of my male sims have beards.

That goes the same for me. Glad that I’m not the only one



Even Luis Toledo from Monte Vista looks good with beard even that he loves Pink like Gobias Koffi

Oh, don't forget about body hair. Usually my male Sims have body hair!



Oh, I have soft spot too for a Bald, curvy Sim with magnificent beard. That goes to my founder at my failed legacy, George Roosevelt who failed takeover Mary-Sue heart and get beaten up by Daniel Pleasant while looking for spouse material Even that he’s looks ugly for anyone, but not for me And yes, that pants, I love that pants from Supernatural so much, my male Sims usually use them a lot.
