How do you stay and play with The Sims?

We have seen you sharing many creative ways of how you let The Sims accompany you during this time of staying at home:
- building relaxing rooms for your Sims,
- creating an office for them,
- recreating your family in the game so your Sims can spend time together,
- making your Sims go to class while yours were cancelled,
- having them do the outdoor activities that are not an option for many of us at the moment,
- and even the opposite: making them stay at home as well.
As always, your creativity is truly inspiring. We would love to see more of what you are creating and hear your stories!
How do YOU stay and play with The Sims?

But once the beaches of Mua Pel'am were pristine, it was time to look at my Legacy saves and see who suited the Islands. That's where I really go deep. This gets long, so I am hiding the rest behind spoiler tags so I don't jam up readers' screens.
Hm... Maybe it's time for my founders - my oldest Sims couple (remade from TS3, where they were perpetual Young Adults) have a retirement as Elders?
Of course, "retirement" is notional. Riley may no longer be working as a Celebrity Chef, but that just gave him time to start learning about conservation issues, and he's not a sit-at-home Sim. He wanted to get involved.
Avery still works on a freelance basis for Simogue as a Style Influencer, but mostly takes it easy, knocking out paintings on the lanai while his husband writes for publication for once.
Riley is my practical Sim, Avery tends to be the more mystical, and hence interested in island culture. He's gotten to know the Ohan'ali Island chief, Keala Hoapili, and her mahu granddaughter and successor, having his first encounter with Island Spirits on a visit to their hilltop villa.
It is Keala who complains about the old shipwreck on Mua Pel'am, and suggests what the Spirits might prefer. These Sims have been at the top of their careers for ages, and have more money than they can spend on themselves, so Avery finds funding from the family foundation, has the Admiral's Wreckage salvaged properly (sorry, @Admiral8Q
So far, each of their three grown sons have visited. Alf arrived in time to be a make-over guinea-pig for his dad, and got this relaxed, beachy, style. (confession - naming and saving this file, I mis-called Alf by his brother's name. I guess the Dads aren't the only ones getting old!)
Bhakti arrived in time to meet some locals. (Riley surreptitiously garnished their Island fare to bump it up to his own 5-star standard of excellence).
Youngest son Chance arrived already sporting Avery's latest Island-inspired summer trend.
Sea may rise, sky may fall, My love will never die..
My heart, my heart, My drowning heart, Oh all the tears I've cried
Oh I may weep forevermore, My love will never die..
I'm also using this to re-explore and reevaluate gamepacks and expansions. I will go to Selvadorada again very soon.
Additionally, I'm brainstorming a potentially new chapter to add to the story. Should more ideas come my way, I'll investigate.

NOTE: None of the above is true but was fun to get out of my brain.
Seriously though, I created a mentor-driven story called "The Vazquez Family Needs Your Help" in which you, the mentor choose from the available options and help me decide where the family will go when they reach a critical point. I will even incorporate you into the story line from time to time as a mentor to keep it going and make us all a part of this ever-evolving story. So again, the Vazquez family needs your help! #playaparttogether
And will this new chapter be introducing some new characters, like say, I dunno, a Vazquez or two?

Hopefully tomorrow I will feel up to playing at least for a little bit
I have about 10 sims I need to put through uni for jobs like the doctor, scientist, teacher etc. And then there are other sims working their way up other careers and a few who hope to buy stores/a vet clinic etc. I can't wait until I've started to get things off the ground and see a little progress around the worlds.

Basically I made one high nobility per world, and then had this introduce on low nobility to most local hoods. I adjusted the local titles abit, as it didn't sound so good being a "Baron of Fashion District"
Each district has their Order with a limited number of members, and with the highest existing peer as the sovereign. Being a member of the order gives high status. Pictured are the Dukle and Duchess de Cavalier, they and their main heir, the Baron, are members of the Brindleton Order, while the two younger children are not.
I use both the club system and the fame system for this
More details on my nobility can be found on my blog simmerville.blogspot.com .
