What is your game style on Sims 4? Is it serious "business" for you? Is it fun and light-hearted for you? Or maybe something in between?

My game is very serious and I get upset and I like to complain if everything isn't going the way I want.
My game is very serious and I don't like anything wacky or quirky in the game, because they make the game childish.
My game is very serious and I'm a drill sergeant. My Sims won't do anything I don't want them to. I control everything.
My game is very serious. I hate pets and toddlers, they are so needy... but I also want realistic game play.
My game is serious and my Sims are very serious too. They aren't allowed to smile. There's a mod for that.

My game is serious. I delete all the premades and townies. My Sims are all supermodels.
My game is fun. I enjoy it and I don't take it too seriously.
My game is very much fun. I love it, even the eyeball ring and ridiculously dressed townies. They make me smile.
My game is wacky. Bring on the flying pigs and tap dancing kangaroos. I need them in my game.
Other... please explain. :)

but I also love occult and weird things in my game and would never play without them
controlled fun and weirdness? i guess?

My stories also deal with serious issues like slavery, but on the other hand on my blog I tend to go for quick jokes that invalidate the whole dysotopian setting and I also include aliens, Strangerville and the eyeball-ring.
But I could drop the goofyness if I wanted and go full serious, whereas I would never willingly give up my controling playstyle.
My answer could've been any of the non-serious category.
On the other hand I know it's just a silly game so I don't take the wacky stuff to serious and just enjoy it for what it is. I've had my fair share of laughter over stuff like the trashplant and the gnome popping up in photos. That kind of stuff is fun.
What I don't like is stuff like wacky walk styles, wacky movements and behaviors, I hate the way they fall on the floor with the bum sticking in the air lol. I wanna scream just fall like normal!!! 🙊 especially since I enjoy tragic hard life story lines. It messes things up.
Oh and all of my sims are super models. It's the requirement to live in the town lol 😆
My sim crew can sing and dance and play the fiddle in their own sweet time but when I say all hens on deck I mean ALL HENS ON DECK!
I do like managing what my sims do instead of just watching them with autonomy on. I have a bunch of characters in a multi-generational legacy rotation. At this point, I wouldn't really want to start the save over because I'm attached to the characters and the next generation. I'm largely out of playing with most pre-mades with possible exceptions for anyone new. I'll check them out and decide if or how they fit into my game.
On the other hand, I love playing with aliens and spellcasters. I have even had a Sim marry Father Winter so her daughter would have a 'dad' in her life (hey he was calling the mom all the time anyway). I try not to think about that one too much since the girl's mom was a young adult at the time. heh. I do get a kick out of some of the townie's 'fashion' and I only change the looks of the ones that are friends with my Sims or to be significant others if the clothing is really far out there.
I also enjoy leaving autonomy on 95% of the time just to see what my Sims will get up to and of course, that other 5% is when they choose to troll me and act 'out of character.'
The second thing that makes it fun is control. Hands down the number one reason life sims are fun. In that respect, I am a total control freak with the Sims in my posession. Not so much with anything outside the household unless I made and played them, too. *shrug* I have always been that way, but the pixel dolls in the 4th iteration need it as much as the ones in the 1st.
I am a bit of a control freak in this current save... I deleted all the lots and all the sims and I've rebuilt most all the worlds now and made most my own sims (I did find a few on the gallery). That's where the control ends though. The game is spawning townies now, that's ok, but I make sure to keep their numbers down so my own don't get deleted.
Why do seeds disappear but reappear the next morning? Why is basil involved in so many Last Exceptions pertaining to Sims inventories?
I replace most of the premades because I have no interest in their "stories" or their contrived traits and aspirations. I've always wondered why someone decided that Cassandra would be gloomy and creative but Malcolm would be an evil snob? Why not the other way around? Why did someone decide that Luna would be romantic and childish? Why not make Luna erratic, like her father? Why did someone decide to make Morgan good and outgoing, Sophia a cheerful music lover, and Yuki a loner geek? Why did someone decide that Wolfgang would be gloomy and mean and Hugo would be a loner and a foodie? And then there's Duane Talla out in Sulani who's an orphan but he somehow got two decent traits. Why are female teens "prettier" than their male counterparts? They usually have beady eyes, noodle arms, and weird waistlines though. And then there are the young adult premades who were all set up in much the same way as the teens.
It's kind of fun sometimes to look at the traits of the premades and then mix them up to balance them out. Someone did a gender switch of premades which was pretty interesting. I found those Sims to be way more interesting than the constructs that ship with the game and expansions.
All in all, I don't take the game too seriously. If a save breaks then I start another one.
I have no memory of this place. Time to start anew I guess

I like it to be realistic but I like some goofy elements. I don't play with occults (aliens only).
Personality,depth,humor,consequences,lore,customization.
I literally play this music above when playing Sims 4! Cozy and Fuzzy
I had to choose 'other' because my playstyle really can't be defined by simply checking a box of one choice over another. I like to play it all! Except mean/evil Sims. I won't play them and I won't let my married Sims cheat on each other, hence the micromanager aspect. I am such a micromanager, I dislike how 'no autonomy' has been coded in this game. It really ISN'T 'no autonomy,' it's more like 75% no autonomy and 25% autonomy.
My Sims should NOT be running off to talk to other Sims without my say so, my Sims should NOT be choosing their own chat topics, my Sims should NOT be running to the shower/bathroom/bed when those needs are low. Maybe I want them to be stinky, pee their pants or pass out. But nope, the game thinks it has to hold my Sims hands, hold MY hand and help my poor wittle Sims without my say so! GAH!
Okay, maybe I'm more of a Drill Sergeant than I thought... o.O
BTW @CAPTAIN_NXR7 Your comment made me laugh! "all hens on deck" ?? Did you perhaps mean 'hands on deck'? Or are your deck hands all females?
