The last time I made this post was 2 years ago so since we have new faces around let's try it again. I mean hey even with some of the old faces your answer may have changed
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. I only get to make 10 poll options so didnt have enough room for "Other".
As for my answer...I used to be the builder. I really enjoyed it but I am now more a completionist. I am working on my super sim and want to have all the challenges/aspirations completed. I am also a deviant. I mean no chaos makes a boring gameplay haha.
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 have a lot of different types of families which enjoy different things. I am not really a storyteller ( I don’t write plots ), but I do micromanage and have a preconceived notion of who the sim is and what they will do, so, I guess you can say I am a role player too. I have a pretty large rotation, many of my sims interact and are friends or enemies with other sims in my rotation. I use some pre-made sims, but most of my favorite sims are my own, or gallery sims from very early In the game. A few sims appreciate some collections more than others. I have one sim that works towards completing them all ( but is not even close! ). I do use money cheats with some sims that are supposed to be rich like the Landgrabbs, I will set up businesses with them. And I will download collections and put them in stores to sell for the many sims who aren’t collectors. So, I guess I can be laid-back too. Legacies don’t appeal to me, I get too bored of playing one family. I rarely test out things, but on occasion I do. I love downloading lots from the gallery and tweaking them. But if I can’t find what I want, or want something real particular I will build. I have been doing a bit more of that lately. You also forgot to mention CAS player.... once in awhile I do like making a sim or household, and I often go in and change townies clothes, hair etc. or get rid of townies I don’t want in my game.
I do think collections is one of the better aspects of the game, that and the variety of ways you can make money ( without a job). I also love the active careers, especially the ones with workplaces with objectives.
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
When I'm actually playing, I'm also a colonist, which necessitates playing rotationally from time to time, and very much a legacy family player. I'm not normally a completionist, but the matriarch of my family has completed almost all of the aspirations I have just because I've had her around for a year and a half irl.
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 relate:
Builder
no there has to be story on why each nooboo was made and connections between the sims and idk drama
Only ones I don't really feel i relate to at all:
Woohoo hound / partyer:
Unsure if I relate:
Colonist
so that is happening..
and yes i delete every useless annoying randomized townie that hits corner of my eye only to have game spawning more

I could say storyteller as well, but I don't pre-plan a story and then use the game to stage the story; I am mostly commenting on what the gameplay turns out to be. Sometimes I do have a general idea of where I want to take a character, but the gameplay surprises add a lot more fun and creativity than I ever thought up on my own. It's more improvisational, less plotted in advance.

If you download one of my builds, by all means, leave me a message and tell me what you did and did not like about it.
I chose legacy/family player as that is what I have been doing for the last couple of months, with a little building in-between. But I would describe my play style as a healthy mix of family/rotational/building.
Deviant because I love a bit of chaos, drama and overall weirdness. Pretty much all my families tend to have something going on. I also love to do challenges like the Homeless challenge and mix things up to make it more obnoxious/hilarious. When I do challenges I'm really not into it to be a completionist. I just like the chaos they can create.
Player: *instructs sim to prepare meal* "Then eat something, you little goofball!"
Sim: *starts cooking meal*
-5 seconds later-
Sim: *Stops cooking meal* "I'm so hungry!"
Player: *head hits desk*
However, I do also love to use romance interactions since they are my favorite type of interaction in the game, so I suppose the Woohoo one could also fit depending on which save file I'm on.
