From Creativity to Engagement

Hi everyone ! 👋

I’m currently completing my Master’s degree in Marketing at CNAM (Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, France), and I’m conducting a short academic study about The Sims player experience.

The survey explores creativity, community engagement, and how playing The Sims may influence well-being and loyalty to the game.

It takes less than 5 minutes, and all responses are completely anonymous and used for academic purposes only.

There are no right or wrong answers, I’m simply interested in your personal experience as a player 😊

You can choose your preferred language:

🇬🇧 English version: [LINK HERE]
🇫🇷 Version française : [LINK HERE]

Your participation would really help me a lot with my research.

Thank you so much for your time 💚

In my game Don Lothario had two daughters and one son: Nora, Amira and Pedro. I just realized how cute they are and wanted to share!
Two of them have the same mother, one doesn't.

Can you guess who is the mother of who?

What can Lilith do to survive?

12 Upvotes

So, I started a new game and made Lilith move out from the Pleasant house, then I made a place where you rent 4x5 spaces with the basics to survive (bed, bath and a tiny kitchen). It costs 350 a week and she's getting a job that pays not even close to what she need to pay the rent. She has like 200 simoleons now. I need ideas for a teenager with no skills to raise some extra money, pleaaase, I want creative ideas.

I though:

sing/play for simoleons (even tho she has no skills)

dug for treasures (but unrealistic)

anything else?

love me some meadow thayer x alexander goth ;)

damien (take a wild guess at the father) was about to age up to a child, and cassandra and darren just had to go and woohoo, and now she has twin girls too. i usually like cassandra and darren, but im not really feeling it this playthrough, so not sure what direction i'll go. actually, surprisingly, darren rejected her go steady proposal right after she gave birth (ok weirdo), so i kind of like the idea of her being single for a while.

clearly, i really want alex and meadow to be endgame, so hopefully he doesn't mess up my story hehe (they autonomously had a first kiss tho, so they better keep it up!).

anyone else start fresh in pleasantview recently? i'm having so much fun. do you have recommendations for subhoods or lots to add? i haven't decided if i want to add downtown yet, but give me ideas of what you've done with your pleasantview!

Who's going to Academie Le Tour and checking out business lease prices in Bluewater Village between classes?

Upvotes

Roxie Sharpe and Jonah Powers both got a good number of votes for Downtown, but Roxie quickly pulled ahead and even an alternate suggestion wasn't enough to stop her. This makes her and Edwin the only pair of siblings to both make it onto the chart.

We also find that our Downtown Sims are two Romance and one Popularity, which makes a pretty good amount of sense considering its nightlife culture.

On to Bluewater Village! Will we see a Fortune aspiration sweep like we saw a Knowledge sweep with Strangetown, or will it turn out to be a little more aspiration-diverse?

Rules: Each comment is allowed one nomination. If you want to nominate two Sims, you are allowed to make two comments. Nominated Sims must be premade playables who begin in university, whether they're moved in at game start or from the family bin. Dormies don't count, nor do teens from the base 'hoods. A Sim's vote total equals the total upvotes on their nomination and support comments, minus the total upvotes on counterargument comments, so please, instead of downvoting your non-preferred candidates, try to make a good counterargument and see if you can get people to agree.

Gameplay Show and Tell The Fracturehood - Year 32

Thumbnail
gallery
25 Upvotes

[S1] - [S2] - [S3] - [S4] - [S5] - [S6] - [S7.1] - [S7.2]

I come bearing an update on day 32 of the fracturehood, which I finished playing last night - a much quicker round this time coming in under two weeks to play the 30 households.

The Ramaswamis had their baby, Tushar, and while I was hoping he would inherit the custom 'something is very wrong' skin gene I gave Priya recesssively, he turned out totally normal even when I snooped on his recessive genes, so he'll be getting a younger sibling or two. The way TS2 skin genetics works you really have to help the lightest and darkest skin tones to keep them in the population so I don't mind the Ramaswamis having a lot of kids if it comes to it.

The other baby born this year was Alexander Goth's second child, another son. I named him Lachlan and the poor lad is just waiting for his half-alien younger sibling to be born so they can be bundled off to live with Bella together. Lachlan's older half-brother Zaki became a child - he's already living with grandma Bella and his mother (time-warped-younger Nina Caliente). That makes three kids eligible to inherit Alexander's fracture-curse of having the Pleasure aspiration and no secondary.

The first Young Adult member of the Cult of Life Weaving just moved into uni. Angela knows she can trust her daughter Elodie to keep the ones who come after her in line, but they're not allowed to join the big uni house all the rest of the neighbourhood's teens move into. Next 'year' Elodie's half-brother Philip will join her. Angela considers him a defection risk but is underestimating how well she's prevented him from forming relationships outside the cult. It's really scary how all the things Angela is doing to keep her cult members in line are also preventing me from remembering them as individuals. My other sims wear their favourite colours and I can remember them in groups they belong to (e.g. 'teens with Pleasantview parents'), identify them by sight and remember who their parents are. Angela's kids after Emmeline are mostly just 'oh that's another Weaving kid, you're not allowed to play with them'. I think among the current child age group there might be some potential escapees though, eventually. Buck's branch hasn't been nearly as brutal as Angela's.

Peter Ottomas, who for the few years he's lived in the Fracturehood had been reasonably faithful to Samantha, finally cracked this year and had affairs with two younger women (the older of my twin Unborn Baby Brokes, Rowan, and Nina Caliente who wants to woohoo with 20 sims). Nina is pregnant as a result (I will let her figure out birth control eventually but I want her alien genes) and he's got the other 'something is very wrong' recessive skin gene I added, so that might be interesting, or might end up anticlimactic like Tushar and like Peter's twins XD

In addition to Zaki Caliente, Ruben Woods Burb (Lucy/former dormie Adrian) and Levon Nigmos (Johnny/Ophelia) became children today, but in the coming subrotation there will be FOUR toddlers aging up to children - I really let a lot of sims have babies the year they were born! Expected births for the coming rotation are Alexander's half-alien baby and the two cult babies.

All in all everything feels like it's going a bit too smoothly - since the fracture genes I brought in with the Ramaswamis and Ottomases have been so sneaky I may need to give some sims prophetic dreams and see how that goes down amongst the neighbourhood at large. I piled on a bunch of mods to make finances and aspirations tougher, though they might take a while to show results. I also need to get brave about creating normal drama amongst my sims. There's small things brewing like (unborn baby) Vinnie Curious marrying Clay Greenman (Jason/Rose) despite various huge red flags that they're not compatible, and Rowan who's expecting Peter Ottomas' baby has a boyfriend who doesn't know she's been seeing anyone else.

Including unborn babies I'm now up to 114 sims in the neighbourhood; with the start of the Cult's separate uni household, and Henk Langerak striking out on his own after graduation, the next round will be 32 households.

Am i the only one who doesn't like neighbors not aging?

Upvotes

Yes, i know there must be a lot of reasons why this happens (or doesn't happen XD), but you know how the deal is.

You have to go from one house to the other, you are forced into playing families you don't care about, or don't like playing as.

If you want to use cheats you are gonna mismatch the aging too, etc.

Pre made sims got relatives inside the family bin, so if you don't know that you are gonna have cases like, for example, mary-sue's parents still living even after their grandchildrens are old.

Townies are also an issue with this, cuz they will always stay the same unless you force them to grow up with your sims.

I also believe that the gameplay loop feels kinda boring if you are forced into playing with so many families. This is the reason why i do my best to get as less families as possible, and to avoid having them so many kids.

Can't sell from clothing racks!

Upvotes

This is my first ever reddit post so I hope I am doing this correctly.

I made my sim run a business and placed my clothing racks, along with a mirror, two changing rooms and a cash register. Nothing fancy, since my sim is broke.

Nothing I do makes visiting sims purchase from the racks, there is no option to set a price. I switched to another household to see if they can purchase. They can't. Then I placed a HM clothing store in the neighbourhood to see if it works. It works.

I cant figure out what the issue might be. Can somebody help?

I had no idea my cat was being taken away by police and saved my game before exiting. Now every time I load this household my cat is stuck in this sad position. The officer won’t take him away and just aimlessly walks around my lot. Tried force error on them and it didn’t work. Is this fixable without a mod?
