Howdy Doo fellow simmers, this is my first Discussion Post so why not propose a burning question? What is your current goal--or goals-- you want to accomplish for Sims 3? Is it to complete a collection? Max out a sim's skill? Finally complete a challenge you're doing? Find all the Things? Get all the achievements? Let me and everyone else know! I'm quite the curious cat.
Personally, my Sims 3 Goal is to finish my Echantacy Legacy as soon as I get my new computer.

I don't do challenges, and I guess my play is more a legacy style, but my sims lives are epic. Its been 3 years and my current sims have finally aged from teen to YA and had their first set of kids. I let my sims tell stories and my current family I'm playing started in April of 2017. If I need a break from them, I go to one of my other families. The current quest is for Adam to find his true family. He has found and proved his mothers side, and awaiting results on his fathers side to be proved or not as a Grandson of the Fairy King and possible heir to the kingdom as his suspected father was the heir to the throne before he died.
The Cowboy and the Mermaid
As my sim's wealth and investment in rabbit holes and community lots grows, Sunset Vally is upgraded with nice looking lots and content from the other expansion packs and the TS3 store.

1- To Create Living Worlds
To create the 'Living World' which EA describes in the owner's manual. These worlds are ones which are varied and dynamic. They are shaped by the collective society (community) of its residents. These are places where Sims can truly autonomously 'live' according to their own wants and desires. Every thing I add to these worlds, I place there for Sims autonomous use (or not). I remove myself from their equation.
2- Allow Sims to Naturally Progress and Develop
I develop Sims according to who they show themselves to be instead of what the sum total of their traits, LTW or job tries to 'force' them to be. This process is too detailed to go into on this thread. I will say that it has taken a long time to straighten out many of the messes The Sim's Team made when they created the Townies; and I still have many left to go.
3- Tell Their Story
And finally, to unify the lore of their collective stories based on what is written as fact from their creators (The Sims Team, Maxis and Electronic Arts). There are so many super hidden clues which lead to the potential for a solid linear story about the state and history of SimNation as it is in their current time.
I also really want to make one of the sims a Private Investigator so I can add some mystery into the storyline.
I'm really just doing it to see how my storytelling goes.
You can read it at my blog linked below in my signature, in case any of you haven't yet.
Hoping to complete the Brunch at the Old Mill set for CYS. 16 items left.

Currently (after playing one particular world for seven (!!) years) I have completed all the careers and all the professions to the top level, except the Singer.
There's one LTW that I can't get, even after six or seven tries in different ways, which is "The Ark Builder".
The only other one left to do is of course Vocal Legend, which I'll have once my Singer completes her career track. She's getting there...
There's one death type that I can't seem to accomplish, which is 'Shark Attack'. Sims just refuse to die, no matter how often they get mauled by sharks.
I still have to get a Sim to die of the 'Buried Alive' trick in the magic box, but I am sure I can manage that one. I'm just not ready to kill my current magician just yet. (My previous one died of the 'Watery Grave' magic box trick.)
And then all that's left is to have some Sims form a band and get to the top of that career. I've never, in all these years, had a band.
My second goal (which is the main reason why my 'do it all' goal has taken 7 years) is to play all the pre-mades in all the EA worlds for at least two Sim-days. I'm not very far with that one, because I tend to get sidetracked... I'm currently playing Bridgeport, which is my 9th world in this particular challenge.
I like to leave each world with everyone in the proper career, with a story going, and a properly decorated house. And with all the necessary community lots in place (and altered to suit the vibe of the world, if necessary).
I do not now, and never plan to have, a life.
Same here!

Devolution of Sims - a once customisable open world sandbox which has become a DLC Party catalog in a shoebox

^Yup!
Legacies were never my thing...I have done a challenge once and it was fun. In fact doing one is what got me storytelling with the Sims in the first place.
So my current goal to keep writing and eventually finish my current sim story.
For my most recently played save, I’m playing a fairy-genie hybrid and the child he abducted. While the story itself progresses, my goal is for the child to master all skills and complete every skill challenge.
Thank you, I'll go look into it.
Hey @Pary,
"Devolution of Sims - a once customisable open world sandbox which has become a DLC Party catalog in a shoebox", where does that quote come from, if you don't mind me asking?
It was just so true, that it really resonated with me, so I used it.
Edit - I've posted most of the little article below - the funny parts, but also very sad, because I feel it is very true.
also on topic, I'm still trying to achieve my goal of having a family of all ghost colours.

My goal this week is to make good progress on the Disneyland Paris resort I’m creating for the Orient Express community world collaboration. Haven’t gotten further than creating the flower garden of Mickeys face and the front facade of the hotel so a long way to go.
Let’s keep in touch on Answers HQ until the new EA forums are launched in July!
