How much realness do you try to incorporate into your game?

How far do you go with it?
With me for example, I make my sims actually do their chores. In life you have to clean, wash dishes, and what not so I dont do it for them

In Sims 4, my sims are just stuck with the mundane chores to do.

This is what I like about the game, however, and it's what makes it unique - players can decide which parts they want their Sims to do on their own, and which parts they'd rather skip because they have other designs.
I have 'laundry days' and regularly change their outfits. As they get older I go in to give them graying hair or obviously dyed hair. I often give different members of the family different chores. Like in one family, maybe the son is the sole caretaker of the dog. In another, only the mother does all the cooking.
It really depends on whatever story I have going on in my head.
Something wicked this way comes!
I don't use MCCC.
I also like to make themed neighborhoods so that the builds and households all have their own place.
In one save I have a world where Vampires pretty much rule over mortals but Oasis Springs is the main (sort of apocalyptic) stronghold of humans where they are building a resistance and training hunters and taking refuge. The sun is stronger there so Vampires don't stand as much of a chance. But the rest of the world is very gothy/Victorian and full of dark builds. I think when I get GF eventually, I'm going to make that an Alien territory and mix it up a little. The flashy lights and modern layout will blend well for that, I think.

My other save is a futuristic save, set somewhere in the 23rd century. So, they don't have all the advances I'd expect us to have by then.
As for interactions between Sims, I try to make them as realistic as possible. Sims are Sims, after all.

For example, focused aids computer programming so only sims with the genius trait will go into that career. Because, let's face it, we all aren't painters, writers or tech gurus are we?
I use business as a default career since it's more of a common man's job.
I notice that the new patch has done away with ideal moods for careers but that doesn't bother me. I'm kinda glad I don't have to have them ponder moves on a chess board an hour before clocking on.
This right here is me as well. Not that I wouldn't have fun playing realistically, but I have fun doing things that wouldn't happen in real life.

Aside from that depends on my mood if I add anything more it's not that important to me but it's also fun to add in where I can.
All the sims err'day
The only time I use skill/career cheats is if it’s a household I don’t play often and I do this for my story telling. But for the most part I do it all myself.
No money cheats, do my chores, brush the teeth...
I was playing my sim self so religiously that it tend to be a chore more than a fun game play, cause if anything happens which I believe to be unrealistic then I have to use my imagination, pretend it didn’t happen or reload the save. However, i have recently made a sim which isn’t myself and even though i play realistically, it’s more laid back and fun for myself
I Will have, however, make a save soon when I can go mental with unrealism and find things to do which I haven’t noticed
I third this. Reality is stressful enough already.
Any suggestions?
