    I like legacy style and using those Sims to tell stories. I also enjoy playing challenges.

    I'm most of them depending on save and sim. I'm never a deviant player because I feel bad, not too much of a partyer unless the aspirations call for it, and role-play is minimal.

    I chose storyteller because everything else I do, I do in line with whatever story I've come up with. I ha e yet to right them or organize them in anyway. They're all floating around my head, along with hundred of screenshots saved to imgur 😅

    Interestingly, the less attached to a family I am, the more completionist I become. I'm more willing to grind and let their moods fall.

    Completionist/Challenger
    Definitely a completionist. I always have certain goals for my families to achieve.

    I don’t understand what a role-player is?

    I have like 6 saves of different legacy families. I do have 2 challenge saves currently, and I have 1 build save.

    I always role-play the chance cards thinking what my sim would do instead of trying to pick the most beneficial option. Same when they get invited out etc. For me it's trying to get into the character and I see it as an opposite to Completionist/Challenger (though you could alternate between the two of course).

    I'm basically a Laid-Back, quasi-rotational (as in once in awhile I'll remember to check in on other of my Sim's family members), family creator who sometimes tells my Sims' stories. ;) I would have added colonist since one of my saves takes place with my ancestors from the 18th century, (who were colonists) but then I read what you meant by that. I do build houses for my Sims, too.

    There are types of simmers so which one are you? (Borrowed this list off a Google search) :)

    Also if you are more than one (which most will be) select the poll option you relate to the most, and feel free to comment the different ones you are

    Differrent types:
    • Builder: replace all items in the world with player's own creations
    • Colonist: replace all sims currently prepopulated in the world with their own creations
    • Completionist/Challenger: completes all game "goals" such as careers & aspirations. Also/or enjoys doing sim challenges.
    • Deviant: performs interactions just to see what may happen and / or creates a bit of chaos in their sim world
    • Laid-back: does not take the game seriously, plays for leisure and enjoys using cheats / cc depending upon the necessary purpose
    • Legacy / Family Player: creates an extensive family tree using only one sim
    • Role-player: takes on a personal role through their sims lives
    • Rotational: rotates from household, to household
    • Storyteller: performs actions in-game to create a story of which is written / depicted later
    • Woohoo hound / partyer: enjoys woohooing, enough said :)

    I'm a little bit of everything except the family/legacy or rotational player. Those just aren't appealing to me... particularly the way they're described for this poll.

    I would love a version of the sims with an M game rating or, at the very least, with the more nuanced humor and sensuality of ts2.

    Really nice job with the poll options, @hunniboo1. You really covered all the possibilities.

    I'm totally a Legacy/Family player with shades of Builder & Colonist mixed in.

    Rotational
    I lke rotational play but i also like all the other offerings as well. It depends on when I am in the game and what household I am playing actually as to how I will play the game that day.

    Sometimes I am a builder, some times I focus for days on one household and yet other days I may focus on as many households as I can squeeze in that day.

    I always have a story going on of some kind in every household - I like all the aspects of the game and like to vary what i do from house to house. I don't like having less options - the more the merrier - that way all my play styles are my options. I have no play style fully set in stone and I like all options available- past and present.

    I do not use cheats, mods or CC in a developing game - but I do believe they need to be part of the game for others that do like this kind of thing. The Sims need to be the place where Simmers tell THEIR Own story as the games creator wanted it to be - with no one cut out of options they like. The game needs player options not just dev options.

    Those of us that wanted a bigger town or in my case a Hollywood area - I should have that option instead of not being able to buy a pack because the town does not fit my vision of Hollywood/LA. It is not right to take away something that big from players where creation of worlds or at least adding to the worlds has always been a part of the Sims. At least give us way to link more areas to devs towns to make the game our own. If sims 2 can do it - even Sims 1 had a code we could add on to towns to make them big if we wanted too - instead of getting no option. I want the fame ep - and it is not fair I cannot get it because of it rigid limits. Visual means nothing when you can't go there and live your vision. Options are too limited.

    @Busufu Thanks for that. And "God bless them every one" as Tiny Tim said in "A Christmas Carol"

    It would take more than 3 to 4 years to satisfy them all. >:)

    Definitely more of a legacy/family player but I have been known to play out a story or two every once in awhile. I've even had a few games that were considered more completionist style and one very ambitious save in the sims 3 where I replaced every sim and residential lot in Sunset Valley with all my own creations.

    Laid-back
    I almost went with legacy/family player.. but my multiple saves, and free use of cheats and mods/CC made me go with laid-back..

    Legacy / Family Player
    I love playing my families, and playing them until they naturally die out, then start another family from scratch. I also love raising large families, a feature many simmers don’t choose to partake in. Like for example, my sim couple has 4 kids, a cat, and a puppy. They would have another child, but all the slots in the household are taken up 😢

    Rotational
    Mostly rotational, I like to have several families & try to marry them all into one big family tree. But I also have a single sim save, for playing active careers that to me aren't really conducive to family play.

    Role-player
    I picked role player, but from what I read into these options, I am a mish-mash of role player, storyteller and laid-back. I set up a scenario with a mostly general goal in mind, then just play, steering them in the basic direction I'd like to see them go.

    I am mostly a legacy player, but I also play rotational because of my huge family tree and I let my sims do woohoo often with different sims to make new babies :D for the genetics of course.

    One sure way to make me NOT enjoy a game is to impose rules on my gameplay.

    Rotational
    Rotational Roleplayer with an extra save for Storytelling.

    When I play a sim I AM that sim for the moment and when I switch to the next character I become that sim. It sounds more shizophrenic than it actually is. And although I'm good at being impartial, of course there's also times when I play favourites.
