In this video, I'm sharing with you my whims-based gameplay strategy for The Sims 4 - to make the game more fun, challenging, and spontaneous! Instead of making my Sims do things, I let them choose their own paths in life. Here are all the details of how I make it work in Sims 4 including the necessary mods I have to use. I hope it inspires you to play your game in new and exciting ways!

Omg, before I started watching your videos I would play sims 4 in a “success focused” style, getting every sim to the top of their career and having every sim ace university, probably because of my own anxieties. Now I love watching sims fail… it creates so much more drama!! Who doesn’t love a good aspiration failure?

Whims based truly is the best way imo. Otherwise all my sims end up being the same and having the same lives where everything is maxed and they reach the top of everything. I'm not the most social person in the world and I don't really understand how humans work that well so I have trouble making diverse personalities that have diverse experiences, they just kind of robotically accomplish things and I end up just being happy if they don't annoy me. But then I get bored after like one generation because doing the same thing over and over isn't fun. Whims forces things to be more interesting and forces diverse personalities I otherwise wouldn't think of.

Reading these comments, I have to say: Cindy, I've been following you for a year and a half or so, since a bit before the Batuu debacle. I felt the same negativity towards the Sims 4 and I definitely felt satisfaction watching you rant about it, then you made that video saying you didn't want to be that sort of person anymore so you focused instead on Sims 2 and 3 (and your personal life) for awhile. I just wanted to appreciate how far your channel has come, where your comment section is now full of "You've motivated me to play again and/or play differently and now I'm having much more fun!" You've turned your view of the Sims 4 into a positive direction without changing your opinion on it and I love to see it

One of the things that causes me to get burnt out playing the sims 4 is how repetitive my gameplay gets. I feel like I’m always grinding the same skills and following the same path as my previous saves. I’m going to give whims based gameplay a try and add some more randomness to my game by using RNG instead of selecting my sims traits and aspirations on my own. Hopefully it will pushme to explore areas of the game that I normally don’t, and also give me the motivation to actually play through several generations. On a side note, something I have found helpful in making gameplay less repetitive is deleting the base game households and using MCCC to generate and populate the town. I use the dresser options to make sure townies actually wear clothing that makes sense and it seems to work quite well.

I was so confused when I found out that whims were desabled by default. I thought there's something wrong with my game. Even though I didn't have these amazing mods by then, and my sims constantly rolled the stupid 'buy bee box' whim, it just didn't feel right for a Sims game to not have whims.

I think this video gave me a better handle on why I got tired of the Sims 4 much, much earlier than I did with 2 or 3. I tend to look to the game to give me goals, and have that create an unexpected story. The monotony of Whims and the checklist, unvarying nature of many other tasks got dull pretty quickly.

I always played wants based with previous games and always hated that the sims 4 makes it so hard and I have to keep coming up with what to do next to keep it interesting on my own. It’s so tiresome. You already have me playing rotationally (not something I did with previous games), and I was having much more fun. So excited to try these new mods and get a more “natural” wants-based game

I remember when I first found your sims 2 videos, you explained why you love the wants and fear mechanics very similar to the vibes in this video. IT BLEW MY MIND!!! I played a little bit of the sims 3 when I was a lot younger, but I had the most of my sims exposure from the sims 4, so I new nothing other than the “success driven” gameplay style made popular by the biggest sims KZfaqrs. Now, here I am, highly preferring the game that was born the same year I was. This is why you’re my favorite KZfaqr! I thought I loved the sims before I started watching you, but now that I know about the sims 2 and have all of the amazing skills and playing techniques you’ve taught us about the game, I REALLY LOVE THE SIMS!! Sims 2 is definitely my favorite game of all time and if luck is on my side I’ll be playing it till I’m an old lady 😂 I haven’t touched sims 4 in over a year now, ofc there’s things I still adore about that game, and recently I’ve been watching sims 4 let’s plays again. Nobody can deny how beautiful the sims 4 worlds and CAS CC is. But you’re opening me back up to the game again recently, and honestly we all see the change in your feelings about the sims 4 ever since you figured out how to make the gameplay perfect for you :3 Love you cindy!!! You’re phenomenal, keep telling the world about how amazing the sims is!!! ❤️❤️❤️

I ain't gon lie, when this video came up in my feed, I was like, "I ain't gonna watch that, I know how to play whims based...😒," but continuing with honesty, I picked up a few things. Firstly, I didn't know about Bienchen's whim mod. I'm impressed ('😒 EA could never'). I have "More personality please" but since this only really affects conversation and autonomous actions, I'm interested in the personality mod adding aspiration trait rewards and whims. That was a good plug. 👏🏾😃👏🏾😉👏🏾 Then, I usually prefer my sims to succeed, but playing the way you play, especially in regards to dates (etc) will definitely refresh the goaled activities and events. Thanks, Cindy, this will definitely make this game I've been playing 7 years feel like something a little newer. 😘 This is what I thought it would be like when I first started playing. (Again, EA could never... but you found a way.)

I've had both these mods ever since you first mentioned them but I've never really focused on playing whims based. Yet again, you've inspired me to try! Btw, I'm sure you know about Carl's Sims mod that he's working on, but recently he announced the dating rework where it matches with Sims 2 (I think?) style rather than goals. I LOVE that because my problem with goal-based dates is 1) they're the same all the time, and 2) if you tell jokes before the goal pops up they won't count, you have to flirt or 'sit and talk to your date' first. If you want to kiss your date, you need to first both be flirty and tell 3 jokes. I want the freedom to do whatever my Sim wants to on a date, and focus on interacting as a whole. So, that aspect of his mod I think will be a must have for me (and you!) ;D

I have been playing a generation of eight sims 4 household rotationally +whims based with these mods (and lots of others that I believe add to realism like woohoo wellness, kuttoe's career overhaul, etc lol) for the past couple months and it has completely changed the game for me. I think the reason that people burn out so quickly with the sims is that people don't rotationally and it gets sooo boring just playing one household for their whole life. I went from playing the sims as much as I could for a couple days, a week at the max, and then getting bored for a couple months before starting the cycle again. But since I found your videos and got inspiration from the way you play The Sims 2 and I changed to this type of playstyle, I've been wanting to play much more regularly. Having multiple sims that you are playing at the same time really makes it soo much easier to let them "fail" in life as well imo, because when you only have one legacy household that you play it feels like a lot more pressure for some reason. I never played the Sims 2 or 3, and honestly the graphics are just too rough for me even with overrides. So as a sims 4 only player, I can confidently say I would recommend this playstyle to everyone to at least try, even if they aren't just trying to relive the playstyle of those old games!

I have a similar gameplay strategy!!! I love using the whims since I’m not very creative with drama and I like to have things happen somewhat organically. I also use the Whims overhaul and I love using the First Impressions mod and the Wonderful Whims mod because that also helps with storytelling while meeting new sims. And the attraction system from the Wonderful Whims mod really helps with the romantic partner selection. They basically tell you who they’re attracted to.

You have really open up a new world of fun for me, I have been really HOOKED on playing this way in sims 3! i have played this game since it came out, and sims 4 has been the biggest disappointment ever, but even the sims 4 can be a little (very little but still hahaha) fun with this kind of play style! Thank you so very much for all of your videos, and a extra thank you for stikk giving us so much content for the sims 3 and 2, those games are my life, and you are easily my nr 1 channel ! 😃💟

Ahh thank you so much for this video, so inspiring to play the game again! I personally prefer the whim based gameplay, I love them since the sims 2 times, it was sad to realize the whims are not as meaningful as they used to be in the previous games, but still I prefer to follow them when I play. Though sometimes it's hard for me to follow sims' whims in every occasion because I'm a perfectionist and all my sims achieve top of their careers and get perfect dates 🤣
