    what kind of way do you play the sims mostly? (if you chose "other" comment what it is!) I would add all of the above by the way, but I don't think I can change poll options

    EDIT: when I say Nuclear Family, I don't mean a typical mother, father, 2 kids. I just mean at least 2 parents (of any gender) and at least 1 child.

    also, for all of these options pets are included if you want (I couldn't be bothered to write Single Sim and Single Sim + pet n all that stuff)

      Nuclear Family
      I couldn't choose two, so I just chose family. My families are usually made up of 7-8 sims.

      All of the above.

      I mix up my play style depending on my mood and lately I've been playing more with families.

      I have a variety of saves, but I think my actual favourite is Crazy Cat Lady - single sim, fill the rest of the slots up with cats. Preferably some of those weird strays where you zoom in to look and them and HOLY YIKES WHAT IS THAT FACE???

      Went with Other because "all of the above".
      My main save is a family with a few couples households in the same save that I rotate to. My second most used save was a single sim for a long time who now has an adopted toddler. I think if anything, I *don't* play the typical nuclear family with 2 kids (I had one & the moment I got to that place I got bored with it) or roommates. Everything else is fair game :D

      8 Sim Hell
      I chose 8 sim hell because no matter where I begin, I soon end up with overflowing households because I just love breeding Sims to see what the kids will look like, though some are more interesting than others. Boring sims get left to do their own thing, but the ones I get fascinated with tend to have kids with this one, that one, and the other one, because I love seeing what happens with different pairings. When a fave Sim has kids with 3 or 4 other people, it isn't too long before that household has 8.

      Single Sim
      I usually play a single sim for a long time. Eventually they'll get married. By the time they have kids though I get bored and start a new family elsewhere
      The Sims has currently lost its identity. Bring it back for TS5

      Roomates
      I play roommates and families. For the latter I prefer large blended families.

      8 Sim Hell
      This option made me laugh, because it is... exactly how to describe my playstyle. I love having big families in The Sims, but oh boy does it get hectic.

      I start as a single sim who dates searching for the one, then they become a couple, who marry and have kids so nuclear family and sometimes it grows to 8 sims. I sometimes start with roomates too. I have rotational saves not rotational families and have different rules and goals in every save.

      I prefer to create a sim, marry them, and then make as much drama as possible. And somehow, I'll mix in vampires or mermaids. I would so spellcasters and aliens but I don't have the necessary packs.

      Nuclear Family
      I play families. Playing only adults with no family progression is boring to me.

      I have been playing Sims for a long time now, so I have played with all of the different households and premades since the Sims 1 by now.

      All over the place. My main is your standard single Sim on his own, got a few other single Sims, a few couples, a pair of siblings (the Vatores), a bunch of households with roommates/friends, and yeah, a few nuclear families somewhere around there!

      I rotate between various evolving households. I've played any of these situations at some point.

      "8 sim hell" is a funny name though. I sometimes play like that but I take breaks from the chaos.

      8 Sim Hell
      Of course I switch it up all the time to keep it interesting but mostly I play 8 to 11 sims with cheats of course. I never played a single sim and never will.

      Nuclear Family
      Whatever I start out with, I usually end up with a family. I considered clicking 8 Sim Hell because I often end up with a very large family, but I think the family is the point of that, not the 8 Sims.
