Anyone find they never change character style? ;D «12...Next Go

I always find I make a new sims game with the complete intention for a different kind of character and always end up going down the Musician or Painting career I used to use body building/athletics or Parenthood one.
What paths do you find yourself going down?

I do that too, mine are always the wealth and family ones. I’ve been forcing myself out of my usual play style recently, and am really enjoying it. Right now I’m playing Vampires and I’m starting to use the mischief and romantic aspirations a bit more. I do hope we get more choices in the future, it keeps the game interesting.

Edit: just realized you meant career choices. I tend to always end up with writers, and tech/social media, I like my Sims to have more free time.

I notice I am a sucker for vests, boots, wedges, necklaces,earrings and bracelets. Why? Because the world really do not have sims who have accessories so I like for them to stand out.

I've been trying the romantic one as well, actually growing to love it.

Hm, I had to give it a thought. Don't quite see that I repeat myself too badly though. I love playing all kinds of households (rotationally), and I try to use as many different careers and lifestyles as I can. But there is one thing that I'm bad at, almost related to topic - I hardly adjust any sim's appearance. Some sims will use their teen clothes for the rest of their lives, LOL. Ok, if some outfit is very teen'ish I might adjust it, but YA, A and E will mostly use the same clothes all along. Bad me!

I'm really big on the Business career. I like that its a job where the sims are going to work in a business suit and it makes them more professional if I'm going for that type of gameplay. I wish for a lawyer career so bad. If I do a rags to riches sort of thing, painting career is my go-to.

I do the same thing, especially for Sims I don’t play that often.

FurSimsOfficial

Yeah.. its because there aren't enough traits and careers. Now with some new open careers it got better though, but we had to wait such a long time to some new careers while i think they are pretty easy to add since they arent requiring new animations.
About the traits.. they are just sad. We almost never get any new ones and if we do, its like 1 crazy one that you would almost never get to use.

Same here, if I have a family all ready created I get them in business because of it looking professional but if I go from scratch Painting all the way ;D

TheStarHermit

Writers and Painters, or Scientists and Tech sims seem to be the majority of my sims. I do sometimes deviate if I want a change or I want to create a certain type of house; for example I recently bought fitness stuff and loving the Rock Wall so gonna build a fitness based lot for an Athletic sim. He'll still probably turn into a writer. lol.

verlainem

I use money cheats - they are all rich and don't have to work I am trying some other careers now though. I have a doctor and police chief, might try a scientist.

So_Money

I make a ton of rich, snobby archetypes because it's easy to define that kind of character with the traits available. Along with nasty sims, I think those types feel the most "alive" in the game.

Scarbo27

I like Virtuoso sims and I think a third of my sims have that trait and aspiration, because I like the songs that can be played on the guitar.

paradiseplanet

I generally push to play a wide variety of the career styles, BUT I've generally avoided career paths that take the most out of my sim's time, like bodybuilders and journalists.

Cement

I don't know how to click on other careers because almost all of my sims are criminals and detectives

KirbySkywalker

I always make variations of myself. I have the sim version of me (like all my best qualities of myself but better and better looking), a realistic version of me, a vampire version of me, a Swedish version of me, etc...


The names are all versions of my real name but altered to fit the version I am, like the vampire me is named a mix of my real name and keifer southerland...

But they all end up as the creative type. Cooking, painting, gardening, and exploring the scientific things.

lizisprocrastinating

I do creative jobs a lot, I’m trying now to do jobs I haven’t done before or not over and over. I also like doing challenges to take me out of my comfort zone. I also usually pick the same aspirations because they’re aren’t that many to pic from.

I started like that to

EgonVM

I usually try to create a different sim. Sometimes it succeeds and sometimes it fails.
I usually want to create serious sims and family sims.

SiliClone

Well all the sims I play are strange, the current one was in the cemetery playing with ghost pets at 4 am last night.

Mariefoxprice83

I always play family style.

invisiblgirl

Each generation usually has a different 'bent', and I usually have plans for the child before they become teens. In my current save, my second generation was a painter (got a masterpiece cat painting for the nursery/kids room), the next was handy (upgraded everything in the house. My fourth generation was sporty, and her daughter will be a brilliant scientist. Clothes and traits are chosen to complement a particular Sim's theme.

stilljustme2

Either creative (writer or painter) or tech Sims most of the time. I like to start with the painting aspiration because when you complete it, you can not just paint any of the emotional paintings, you can also write any of the emotional books at any time when you get up to the appropriate writing level. Sometimes I like my Sims to write romances without being flirty or workout guides without being energized. The Curator aspiration is also a favorite of mine for my geek teens because they can sell collectibles to the Simsonian and make extra Simoleons.

I'm trying to expand my gameplay -- I have a teen in my current household I gave the Mean trait as a child, and he's trying to make as many townies hate him as possible (he's got the Public Enemy aspiration and will be going into the Criminal career). I don't like playing mean Sims that much but I want to try and complete as many careers as possible (both tracks) with my current semi-legacy. I'm also trying to finish all the collections -- I've got about half of them done so far.
