Some neat clothing, but nothing I can’t absolutely live without.

That probably comprises most of my mods, as there’s not much in the way of creator content that I care about. That was quickly a second mod I got, and discovered I needed to also download a bunch of animation packs so my girls would do more than fondle each other in bed (and literally nothing else). Which to me is typically exploring, meeting new people, grinding up skills, shopping, and with a certain mod… A whole lotta fuckin’. Basically, I would only have a few minutes of actual, interesting gameplay. In some of my early hours of gameplay I wrestled with 2-3 things hitting the red at the same time so my ladies would flail around doing normal survival stuff before leaving for work. So it’s not like I’m not doing any of the survival bits at all - I just got irritated by how quickly it was drained. My characters still need to take a piss and sometimes it’s prudent to have them sleep to shake off some negative emotions. Those are rewards that are typically only acquired when you grind through a few aspiration things, and a fair bit of them to boot. I still don’t, so it should be no surprise that the first mod I got was the cheat console that allowed me to basically hack in a couple of those traits where my sims don’t need to sleep, eat, etc. I remember watching my brother play the older Sims games and I never liked the idea of playing through the nuances of taking a piss and eating breakfast. They had some good city builders but Cities: Skylines dethroned them as the go-to. The Sims was never really a franchise I cared much for.
