There are cheats that keep your sims' needs full for as long as you want to.

I honestly have no idea how anyone plays without the cheats. If it weren't for the cheats, I couldn't play. Sims 1 was doable without them, but Sims 2 and three... especially 2 when it asks that your Sim have X number of friends to be promoted or whatever, but at the same time they have to have 20 skills. Sims 3 doesn't have a cheat to enhance skills, but I just don't have my teens go to school, they learn skills instead.

I must be nuts, because I've played like 7 person households without cheats. It's not to brag, I just honestly sort of...enjoy it?

For me so far I can do okay with two...but I start to get irritated at three. And that's with the maxMotives cheat.

Mostly I just pick one Sim and play them for a while until I get bored and then swap to a different Sim.

I think I'd start throwing things at the computer if I had to play 7 at once.

I tend to do start with one - sort of building up the difficulty. I think I play Sims "wrong" away, though, as I tend to play several families in the same town and switch between them. And sometimes I just build houses, without playing with people at all.

I do it very similarly to you. I really enjoy the challenge of building and managing big families. I actually really like starting several custom families and then marrying people off (usually with some freedom for them to pick someone they're attracted to to give it more of an experimental feel) and keeping track of their family trees. I like planning peoples' days and strategizeing to maximize their needs and desires while still keeping a modicum of similarity to what real peoples' lives are actually like.

...I'm such a nerd. haha

Oh, I've always got several happening in a town that I swap between. I keep making sims based of characters from an RP I used to play. ;)

And house building is definitely fun. I'm overhauling one as we speak.

That doesn't sound wrong to me.

I set up multiple households, usually they end up interlinked because I'm setting up intended partners in separate houses before I pursue their relationships.

I'm with you and go the extra mile and play things like apocalypses, trailer park challenges, and asylum challenges in addition to legacy challenges.

You haven't lived until you've had first gen quads in an apocalypse. It teaches you how to take care of your sims quickly.

I get pretty bored pretty quickly playing with the cheats. If you can get all the time/money/skills/relationships/etc. you want, then... what do you do with your game?

Play. God. @_@

ayrt

LOL, yeah but that's what I get bored with. There's only so many times I can collect everything, max out skills, reach the top of career ladders, rebuild houses etc. before the whole thing becomes very samey. Sometimes I just want to play it "properly" just for the challenge.

But mazes if doom. How many generations until you can inbreed. How hybrid can your hybrids get. Get a single dad who hates families and children 6 kids and take them through schooling. Force someone who hates outdoors and watering to have the dream of being a gardener. Have someone who dislikes animals have animals. Someone who likes animals and outdoors trapped in a room with essentials but no exit. Check them in to the sanity ward. Summon aliens.

:D

Generation challenges. Like take the ugliest sim you can find and see if you can get a pretty sim in 10 generations or less. Or the survivor challenge. Or create fandom sims and let them run around.

Play out your fandom OTPs in the sims.

I grow gardens and collect rocks. You can't really cheat much in gardening if you start from the bottom and are working up to a Perfect garden.

S4 may have short-cutted it a bit by making it so you don't have to pull out and replant, but they made up for that by adding several new stages of quality, plus making a few plants only gained through gene-splicing.

Sims 3 has a mod to earn skills, and it's one of my favorites. Completely safe, and not a game breaker. It's called the Book of Talent.

Could I have that cheat? I could really use that

Not a cheat, but if you're playing sims 3 - have you tried cranking up autonomy all the way up in settings? It really helps.

I have it as high as it can go. Thanks though.

My problem isn't that they're dying , I would just find the cheat OP was talking about very convienient

ctrl+shift+c testingcheatsenabled true. Click on the mailbox, and a whole host of things come up. You will be looking for make Sims happy (or something to that effect). There are many options when you do this as well, so look at them all. As a bonus, you can also right click on your sim, and change the way they look. Super helpful for when you play legacies.

Happy simming!

Ohh Thank you.

Ctrl+shift+c will open up the input box and then do maxmotives to max their needs bars. I use it to keep my sims from needing to sleep so I can skill them. That one works on Sims 2 and 3. I would not recommend boolprop cheats (like testingcheatsenabled) for inexperienced cheat users because some of those cheats can be game breakers.

Exactly. Boolprop can fuck you up.
