Does anyone else always want to play a certain Sim and no one else?
My sim's name is Jarrod. He's a vampire. He's an aspiring musician who doesn't work. His favorite instruments are the piano and the guitar. He also loves to sing and has an incredible voice. He lives in a huge house with is very rich parents, his teenage brother, his kid sister, his wife Yuki, and their newborn daughter Donna. I love this family, especially Jerrod, and I never want to play anyone else.
I started a new game and play it for 20 minutes before going back to Jerrod's family. I play on Long lifespan and take each day slowly so that his human family won't die as fast. His parents are almost elders and I'm already dreading their death.
It just seems weird to me that someone can become so invested in a fictional world, but I love creating a story and I never want this one to end.
Is anyone else like me and almost exclusively plays one game and one family? Or do you prefer to skip around a lot and play a bunch of different stories?

One family almost exclusively

I have always really only played one family per save (TS3-TS4), but I like to play through multiple generations so I don’t stick to one single Sim. My answer might change now as I really miss playing all the households like I did in TS2, and I’m just getting into it a tiny bit in TS4.

Skip around a lot

I have about 4 families which I regularly play. But honestly I prefer a certain family and I would like to spend all my time just with them.

One family almost exclusively

One family, and they don't age.

Skip around a lot

I skip around, but not necessarily a lot. I have my main family which is sort of a semi-legacy with dual goals of completing all careers and all collections, then I have a couple of other families I skip to (one is a member of my main family who moved out as a teen and dropped out of school to work on his music) when I need a break and want to stay in the same save (I'm in the process of making a new save template to try playing on short and normal lifespans since I usually play on Long).

citysimmer

Skip around a lot

I have multiple saves and families and like playing rotationally. I make copies of the save files I really love so I can always play those sims again and perhaps have their lives go a different way.

One family almost exclusively

One family almost exclusively. I also tend to ignore premade families and create my own, so I can fully control their story right from the beginning.

I'm planning on doing the same with Jerrod. Part of the backstory that I created for him is that he was bitten by a vampire as a child and turned and his parents grew up in fear, trying to raise him right. They postponed having more children for several years until they were sure that he could control himself, so he is much older than his other two siblings.
I would like to play another save, an alternate timeline of sorts where is was never turned into a vampire, get a glimpse of seeing what his life would be like in a normal setting. I think that it will be fun.

Skip around a lot

No, I can't do that unless I'm doing a challenge. I play many families rotationally.

Evie0602

Skip around a lot

I play one family per save game, but I have a lot of saves. Sometimes I'll play the same family for a few months before changing to a different one.

Danaanhorn

One family almost exclusively

I usually play just one family that i create to be me and my boyfriend and make us have kids, but i will on occasion go in and play one of the neighbors for a bit to make them have kids or get married

Skip around a lot

I have multiple households in play in all my saves, but I usually tend to stick to households I enjoy playing with the most even though I know I should rotate to ones I haven't visited in awhile to keep them updated with the rest of them.

Skip around a lot

I have 3 different saves right now with plans for more in the future. I enjoy all 3 families right now and play one a bit more than the rest. But when I play a lot during a weekend I skip around a lot. All saves are only a month old though since I got a new PC then. So although one save has gotten a bit more attention I am still playing around with all three. I like having a few saves to test things and do play different types of families though. Keeps me from getting bored.

Skip around a lot

out of the 26 households I've created, 5 of them are actually played with and the rest are just for background, interactions, fill-ins.

I rotate because I need perspectives, all my sims interact with each other, as family, friends, love interests, and enemies. So I'm not really missing anything.

MadameLee

Skip around a lot

I only skip a lot due to the fact I might need to move a character to another house for plot reasons

SheriSim57

Skip around a lot

I have over 20 households that I play. Some I play a lot more than others. I play with aging off. I have 4 sims that have reached the top of their careers... a scientist, a doctor, a detective and a criminal. I loved ‘get to work’ I wish we had more expansions like that one. I just got city living and will be having 3 other sims start those 3 careers. I am anxious to start going to the festivals but my festivals are bugged, I hope they fix them with the next patch.

I play rotational in both of my everyday saves

Cupid

One family almost exclusively

95% of my playtime has been with the same sim since I first got the game.

RedDestiny92

Skip around a lot

I switch between both since I keep multiple saves going but I guess sometimes I prefer one sim just to cause drama with as many as possible like in my wannabe mob boss crazy cat lady save file...lol.

NRowe

One family almost exclusively

Actually, I voted one family but just realised I am playing between Bob and Eliza Pancakes and then a new household which is their first daughter all grown up, moved out of home and living in the city. I spend a week with her and then a week back at Pique Hearth.
Does that make sense? No sure if that changes what I should have voted.

One family almost exclusively

One family but I play through the generations.

Skip around a lot

You're not alone. But, I do skip a lot from time to time. There's few households that I invested a lot, emotionally and my time , but, it tends to get bored. So, I set a strict rules in order to avoid any boredom. And now with the Seasons, my Sims family always got their electricity being shut down by Landgraab electricity supply company. Because they enjoy spending more than they can afford...

I skip around to many different families depending on my mood...
