I’m curious how many of us play our sims. I have seen posts where simmers never let anything bad happen to their sims, such as never letting them die and also posts where simmers prefer to play out their sims lives with ‘bad’ things too, usually using mods. As the sims is a life simulator, I’d love to know how realistic your sims lives typically are!

aside from my own sims i often play premades and many of them yes first live happily but then suffer tragic fates and horrible plot twists and perhaps awful deaths
and yes surely some soap opera

The only time I intervene is if they're standing around awkwardly blinking at each other instead of interacting, if there's an immediate danger like a fire or if there's something needing done and they haven't noticed, such as filling pet bowls or the fridge has gone kaput.
That said, I do send them travelling and out to explore the world but it's much more fun (to me!) to just give them a nudge and a suggestion and let them decide what to do with it 😊
Some of my sims are mostly happy and "normal" while others are scoundrels or of an even darker nature. I don't use the Evil trait because it can cause behaviors that cross my "Way Too Silly" threshold, but that doesn't mean I never make essentially evil sims. They're pretty rare, though, because they're meant more for occasional spice when I want a change of pace. I let most of my sims choose their own kind of lives based on their traits, whims, social structures, and/or quirks that some seem to have for no apparent reason. I do tend to direct the lives of my legacy-style households a little more to best fit within a somewhat traditional family structure.
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.

I don't deliberately kill my Sims, that's for sure. I don't like to kill other Sims either. I've had to deal with a lot of death in my real life and I don't see anything fun about it. I try to keep my Sims alive, but any other kind of drama is welcome.
I give all of them, except babies and toddlers the longest lives and it's interesting to see some of them grown up or deceased when I load them up next.
I just cant have my sims lives be happy happy joy joy all the time. At least I like to have some form of drama or mayhem simmering just underneath their lives. In one of my favorite families, I have a husband/father who appears to be very straight laced and conservative, unlike his openly hedonistic brother, but he's developed a rather unhealthy fondness for visiting "gentleman's clubs" and having secret "dates" with a particular dancer. As a result, the family finances are starting to suffer. Im debating if I want him to get found out.
