How do you play The Sims?

[Daniel1207]

I voted for decorate rooms and take photos.
I like the architecture and the interior design, and I play the sims to create new concepts of houses.
I'm not really good to decorate, but I believe... With a little of practice, I will make different concepts of design (:

I just love this game <3

Coucou, when I began to play Sims, I liked creating families, satisfying their desires, their ambitions, but after a while, I am fast bored:it was always the same thing and we arrive fast on the verge of the doable(playable) with what proposes the game in decoration, under construction and in clothes. Thus I began to visit sites dedicated to sims and the I became a téléchargeuse conpulsive and since I download régulièrement: modern houses (there are absolutely fantastic houses!) That I decorated: it gave me a lot of pleasure. But, I have reached the paradise when I discovered the magnificent decorations(sets) which proposes BPS:here I believe that my world sims is gone into high gear and that in the next years I am going to be able to burst to re-colour in objects and then to create objects. Only to think of it I exult. BPS really showed me the sims of a way that I shall never have imagined; everything is possible with you and I look forward to putting myself in it.
Well,I was a little bit talkative ,but I really wanted express my enthusiasm

I voted for play families/ neighborhoods, decorate rooms/ lots. take pictures, tell stories and create new Sims/ lots for the simple reason I do all these things with sims. I also make sims 2 machinma and sims 2 stories so I need to use all of these options for an effective film within the limits of the game.

I love creating new lots, especially run-down ones. I know the rules for creating apartment lots but I they bug the hell out of me as there always seems to be one apartment that's inaccessable.

I started with TS (1), Had to play it muted though, as I didn't really enjoy the music used. I got started with cc then, and was not too long after that I found TS2. It was really cool in the beginning, Creating sims, building them houses etc. and not too long after that I found MTS2 I hung around there for a while, but then disappeared for a bit as my workloads got more harsh. I love building. I have been playing with the boolprops, and have thought about recreating some of my favorite game mansions. I proved to myself a while ago, that I cannot build a small house. Its impossible. lol. The biggest house I created though, I left as unfinished because my game was slowed down by it a lot. Came to over 40 bedrooms an inner courtyard... I miss that house, come to think of it.

It wasn't easy to find a activity to fit my interest in the Sims2 game, nowdays...I use to play, mostly with my daughter, but she always build such big houses, I liked to experiment new techniques, but never had enough time... Made many Sims when my computer was to lazy to even start the game, love to create stories with my Sims when the computer finally cope, start colecting cc, made bunch of recolours mostly requested by my daughter, but a lot also for my own enjoyment...Crushed the game many times, lost everything and started fresh... Now I play a lot in Photoshop, but couldn't help making some use out of this in the Sims world...So, I'll never quit...

I know the feeling. I remember making bedding, and then ended up redesigning an entire bedroom around a rock band. Each bed had a different band member on the "cover", and then the furniture needed a dark coloring to go with it. I can only dream of making custom content the likes of what I have seen online. Maybe one day though, when I'm all growed up. lol. For now, I build and let my daughters redecorate as they like, customizing as I go along. Although, I really am not a pink person TBH.

I'm a player first, but I can't play unless a lot is pleasing to my eye, so I do spend a lot of time building and decorating and landscaping, but all with game play in mind.

Sometimes if I'm even playing a clean game (to test a new mod or create a sim for upload or something)...I actually take the time to decorate the lot, even though it's just for a short time. lol!

[danielwood5]

I start off with a single sim in a plain lot and then just play the game! I will usually let them get what they want and give them careers that they want and see where it leads them, once they start making better money I then start to decorate their houses but I'm not very good at that so I don't spend a great deal of time on it.

I still like playing the game...I think I am coming up on my 3rd year anniversary of playing Sims 2. And there are still lots of things I haven't done yet in the game!

I also enjoy decorating - I like pretty things.

And as it turns out, I am really enjoying building houses - this is rather new to me. I started building craftsman bungalows, because I love them in real life, and couldn't really find many good ones to download. So I now go through obsessive phases of finding house plans (elevation pictures and floor plans), and trying my best to recreate them while still making them functional for game play. Super fun.
