I do rotational gameplay in my first save file and I agree with pretty much everything you said in this video. I don't even have fire alarms in any of my houses because I like to see the world burn 😂
@@Dannie04 i am the exact opposite, I have a checklist for every fresh household setup and fire prevention is on it. I mean if I forget its on me and I pay for it in gameplay. That being said, even with fire alarms plenty of objects get destroyed by lightening and low cooking skill and sometimes sims die in fire, but I very rarely lose a whole house and I don’t intentionally set them up to fail. 😜
I play my rotation gameplay pretty much opposite of micromanaging everything. I enjoy seeing them live their own lives, even if I'm not actually seeing them do so. 🥰
But there’s is so much more drama to be created through intersecting stories. I never actually WANT to leave any family after a week, but its not like I stop seeing them or their story ends when I do my swap. They’re out in the world and I just might run into them and it might get messy in a way that makes it more exciting to get back to them. 😊
@@TheDawnofVanlife I tend to rotate when a key moment in my current family requires it or if I have reached a milestone and want to move on. I do enjoy intersecting stories too, just at a different pace, I guess. My current family is 56 generations, so I'm always looking for ways to shake it up though!
Hello Hungry Cowplant. Thanks for making this video. I am doing rotational gameplay for the first time in order to set up my rival gangs. I don’t want one gang to become too rich and powerful before I get the others set up and running, so the turning off aging for active or played sims suggestion is really helpful. You mention turning off aging for University-is that a separate option under packs? Would we turn off aging for everyone if an active sim is attending Uni? Should we time university attendance so all eligible household young adults attend at the same time to keep balance for the 2 weeks as opposed to the 1 week schedule?
Hello Player Daniels, you should definitely turn off aging for all sims including your active household because uni will take up a good chunk out of their life and if you switch to another household while your sim is still at uni apparently he/she will autonomously get kicked out but I’m not sure if that is true but thank you for watching 😊😊😊
@@Wild-Card34Its true you will be ejected from university, but resigning back up is not hard. However, you will lose any scholarships or aide. I usualky play through a completion of semester with Uni students, then deal with signing them up again if I have to when I get back to them (aging off for everyone for the semester I play them). Also bulk playing my College Young Adults from separate households in the same ‘roommate’ house or dorm is fun to me.

That’s cool the good thing about the game is you can play however you want 😊😊😊
Some great tips! The playing only a week is one that is hard for me because I get caught up in a family's drama, but it is a great tip.
Yeah butsometimes I struggle to play a single family for so long Ty for watching 😊😊😊

I love these tips! I love my rotational play. It's my favorite way to play!
Glad you enjoy it! Ty Amanda
Yeah... just trying to figure out if I can ever play University with more then A sim.
