hi!! I really love your blog and I was wondering if you’ve ever made a post explaining how you play your game? I’m new to sims 2 and I love knowing how other people play their games!

Hmmm, I’m sure I’ve talked about it at one point, but I’ve never made an official post or anything proclaiming “THIS IS HOW I PLAY”. 🙂 (Also, my tagging system is inconsistent at best, so any such post may be buried forever…)

But anyway! I primarily play rotation-style. I have a bunch of different households that I play for one season at a time (5 days) before moving onto the next household. 🙂 It’s kinda like a BaCC, but also not like a BaCC at all because I don’t have any infrastructure or rules or anything, I just kind of build stuff whenever I want to. x) (I call it @vimpse style!) It helps me stay interested (for the most part) without making it too challenging or too much of a chore, especially since my play time is limited these days. But I wish I’d been more organized with it from the beginning, and made masterposts on LJ for each round (a la @deedee-sims :D) with family summaries at the end of each rotation. For documentation purposes. 🙂 Maybe one day!

I’m also attempting a (half-assed) legacy challenge, because I enjoy legacy challenges and I’ve never actually completed one myself. (Or made it past the first gen, if we’re being completely honest…) For me, the most exciting part of legacies is seeing how genetics are passed down through the generations, which is why I decided to take this ugly-as-sin Sim I made in Bodyshop to be the founder. 🙂 Let’s see how long it takes to breed out some of those features!!

I have an uberhood, which I was also dreaming of playing rotation style, but I’ve only done a handful of lot makeovers so far. And apparently I can only focus on one project at a time, so 99 times out of 100 I’m playing in Sycamore Cove. 🙂  

Hope that sheds some light on the (erratic) way I play my game! 😀
