Game Play Questions, How do YOU play?
HeyYeah:
The second generation of my hood is just starting to turn to teens, and I'm having the problem of none of them being particularly attracted to each other :-\. With generation 1 (and most other hoods I've played) they choose their mates with very little direction, so this is new for me. On the bright side, maybe a lack of bolts will mean that they'll be able to keep their hands off each other and won't end up with so many children. I've got a bit of a population problem (Two families are regular clown cars and only one family has less than two children), so I'm going to have to do a Trial By Fire to determine who makes it out of Uni alive because I'm not playing all those lots.

Popularity teens with one or no nice points. They want desperately to make friends but are incredibly socially inept.
I haven't had any mean Pop Sims (only 3 Pop Sims total, and they've all had 6 or more Nice points), but I HAVE had 2 Romance Sims with 1 and 2 nice points, and they were fun. "Flirt with me!" *rejection* *flamey thought balloon* *angryface* *noogie* "Kiss?"
My hood's one romance sim that bothered to show up on any community lots never did anything half amusing. He and my selfsim met and proceeded to roll wants involving each other nonstop.

I have popularity sims without nice points. They're not socially inept, they're just completely ASSHOLES. They're the best. It's actually the nice-10 sims that are socially inept. The mean ones aren't inept, when they choose to piss someone off, they did it deliberately. I mean, who's more inept, the person who chooses "Insult" and gets a negative reaction, or the ones that keep chosing "Hug" and getting the same negative reaction? At least you know the mean ones did it on purpose!
Also, mean sims are awesome. I mean, how do you beat this picture?

See, I always picture it as "I want to be friends with you! Yay! I shall noogie you, that would be fun!"
"Huh? How come you didn't like that? I liked it."

Mean Sims who are Outgoing frequently get negative reactions with hugs...
This is approximately three seconds after hitting "play" on my Asylum. They each have one nice point, but the blonde also has ten Outgoing. The brunette... eh, not so much. They did eventually become friends, which is somehow more disturbing.

I once had a Mean Sim who liked to use Argue as a Flirt. He could never figure out why his moderately Nice girlfriend always double-minused it. I've noticed that for two Mean Sims, if they're friends, Argue is actually a positive interaction on both sides.

Mine do that, too, it seems to be the mean sims' equivalent to a mating ritual. I once had two of them meet on a community lot, and they fell for each other immediately. It went argue - swoon - annoy - hit on - poke - friendly hug(!) - shove - heartfart all the time. When they parted, they had a relationship of -100/-84 but still swooned over each other. Quite heartwarming, these 3-bolt enmities :D.
ETA to add my current game play:
As everyone's wants panel is clogged with 500 asp. hobby shit now regardless of their aspiration, I play my current hood "TS1 style" which basically means there are no wants (I keep the panels hidden all the time). Of course for that, I can only use sims where I just don't care if they are miserable (or enjoy it), so there's only EAxis made ex-townies in the hood. It turned out pretty entertainining, e.g. when I let Marisa Bendett sell a picture so she could earn some money (I had an altruistic moment) and she lost it because of a "sell crappy picture" fear. Too bad she's dead now - she had a "smite" accident because her non-stop "panhandling for simoleans" annoyed me. I miss her aspiration failures now.
