How Do You Play The Sims 4?
Whether it’s building pools with walls to trap your Sims, reliving moments in your life through your Sims, or creating storylines to play for generations, everyone plays the game entirely differently. Even when players have the same idea, it is still executed differently. That’s the beauty of The Sims 4.
Players have all the creative freedom they could need to make elaborate storylines or even fast-paced lives that end in a blink. Every player lives a different life in The Sims! But we want to know how you play. Do you play long generations that span for ages? Do you play scenarios that go by quickly? Are you somewhere in the middle where you enjoy a normal life for your Sims? Or are you one of those players who need mods to enjoy the game? No judgement here!
One player, xutachii, asked r/LowSodiumSimmers this exact question, and the results varied wildly! You’d be surprised at all the different ways players play. Some players, such as Reddit user Regular_Big_9701, like to play rotational legacies, keeping track of every detail to reminisce on down the line. Others, such as RealDecision6061, treat the game as a sandbox, letting it run its course completely unscripted. For example, this player has the BFF household living as a happy polycule! How sweet.
Players like hermionesmurf play on extremely long saves meant to last forever, capturing moments and treating the screenshots like a virtual scrapbook. However you play, your save is completely unique! Others can inspire you, but no two saves are exactly alike! Isn’t it beautiful how creative and free the game can be, no matter how you play? We sure think so! Which Simmer are you? A detail-oriented, long-time player? A rotational player? Or a chaotic player who just plays the game for amusement? Let us know! Dag dag!
