My *interesting* Rotational Game Play in The Sims 4

[@oshinsims]

here's what i'm geeking about in the sims 4 right now 🏡 i hope you all have a great day, thanks for kicking it w| me --> drop your current household tea below :

[@ryan689]

i had one of my sims have a coming out party to her parents and that was one of the cutest things i’ve ever done! 🤍

[@mina.porosalla]

Ohhh I played with a spellcaster for a while and she haunted everyone in the neighbourhood...now I started a roommate situation and I will see what will happen there gonna be exciting

[@olivia7170]

My pregnant legacy heir just found out her baby daddy is noncommittal and is having several affairs around town ☕️ 👀

[@pixieliza]

I recently got Eco Lifestyle and the sim I’m playing with married Knox for inheritance money! They actually make a pretty great couple and are living a peaceful life in the house you made for the Bhandari’s ( such a great build 🥺 ) with a baby on the way soon!

[@justinjay2318]

One of my sims met and married one of the university sims. The university decided to swim during a blizzard in Windenburg. They died instantly. I was sad for a minute. Then I wonder if their roommate is still single and made my sim happy just to date the roommate.

[@Roxie1255]

Rotational gameplay is one of the reasons I’m enjoying Sims 4 again. I am currently playing several families some in San Myshuno( I love the city) and some in Newcrest ( in my head it’s the suburbs outside of San Myshuno) I have the NPCC mod installed so I can assign them NPC jobs.

[@KiwiGumdrop]

Yes rotational gameplay is where it is at. That's the only way I can play the Sims 4

[@chor2336]

I used to play only rotationa gameplay, but in the beginning of the year I've found out a legacy challenge that made me interested. I'm saying that, cuz you might find it interesting too. You play the legacy challenge as you would normally (or without the whole rules thing like I do), but each generation of your family you should focus on one pack only and explore it as much as you can. Its quite fun. I turn my packs off and only turn it on once I think my new gen will use that pack.

[@KiwiGumdrop]

@@chor2336 that's a good idea. I have heard of the pack legacy and need to look into it more. Definitely is a good way to "get your money's worth" out of the dlc. I've never been a fan of challenges with a bunch of rules but playing a legacy in the way you described sounds like something that would fit my gameplay style. Thanks for the recommendation!

[@xsimmerlu4722]

@@chor2336 such a good idea! I’ve mostly only played legacy challenges for the sims 4. But I feel like I miss out on what the packs have to offer.

[@digthewarmth]

@@chor2336 That's a beauuutiful idea!

[@kubra6036]

@@chor2336 Thanks, Im going to try it!

[@slowrainid]

“it might... contain some... ✨serotonin✨” Thanks Oshin for inspiring me to play differently, taking time to build relationships and skills. It helps so much to avoid getting bored and enjoy the packs.

[@oshinsims]

haha you caught that. and of course love, sometimes this game gets boring - we just have to freshen it up a bit. thank you 😊✨🤍

[@scottyottyotty8883]

I love filling up my neighborhoods like this! Just added a family next door to my main legacy family. Their daughters are end game for me. They will be married, they just have to meet first!

[@ishathompson8439]

I never knew liberty lee was black wow smh EA!

[@katy8605]

I really love the play style of playing a whole neighborhood. That's how I play for my legacy fam. I set my lifespan to the longest and I'm literally in and out of every household taking turns playing every family. I like seeing who becomes friends with who at school and which people have the same hobbies and all that .

[@nakymatonlapsiN]

the skintone update really invigorated my motivation to create and play sims too! your sims and their storylines are so interesting :)

[@sirwongalot7918]

OSHIN I JUST SAW YOU NOMINATED FOR SIMMER OF THE YEAR. IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU🎊🎊🥳🥳

[@oshinsims]

aw thank youuu, love ;)

[@SandyCarey]

Wow! 👏👍👋

[@pumpkin582]

EA did liberty lee dirty. Also, thanks for the video! This kind of gives me an idea on what to do in my game

[@tenacioussims3033]

I love watching people play the sims 4 and actually enjoy it. It's so refreshing to see. ♥️

[@oshinsims]

Of course ! I love Sims 4, it isn’t perfect but I love it !

[@user-gm4no2vs2g]

Crazy, I also started a new rotational save in the same Willow Creek neighborhood. I'm working towards a green footprint (I got Eco Lifestyle on black Friday) and having everyone the neighborhood be connected in some way. I put up a duplex so I can have an extra family and a community space where they all gather, getting clubs together.... Playing vanilla really takes my gameplay in a different direction and I'm enjoying myself right now. Thank you for sharing. And when the mood strikes, give us an update 🌠I'm sure we'd all love to see it!

[@oshinsims]

Omg I love that duplex idea ! Thank you so much for watching ☺️✨

[@LesileNeidig]

I know this video is over a year old, but I absolutely love this idea. I want to start a rotational game and this has inspired me so much. Thanks for sharing it and explaining the neighborhood relationship.

[@mina.porosalla]

Omg the Queen herself has uploaded imma drop everything now and watch this 10x in a row ok ,ok 💙💙💙🌊🌊

[@oshinsims]

hahaha, dedication ! thank you, mina

[@kafic_35]

My current household (I have a bad habit of creating new sims every time I log in 😁) is in Mt Komorebi, I'm still learning about the town. I have two roommates the fellow is very proper and his roommate is not. She is the complete opposite of him but there is a budding romance developing. ( I watch too many Korean Dramas 🤣).

[@carmferamisco6840]

i absolutely adore how you play this game you always find away to make it intriguing and interesting!! i love you & this channel xx

[@oshinsims]

ILOVEYOU!

[@Hey_AJ]

I loved mysims. I was shocked what sims 4 did to them. Liberty was the quirky and geeky girl, Summer was the popular cheerleader, and Travis was a cool guy who got along with everyone. Their story line was the girls trying to get Travis' attention but he was oblivious to their affections.

[@Acoustickitten1]

Omg I'm playing on this Street too right now! My sim is the son of Father Winter and he's so awkward 😭 also there's a ghost that randomly moved into one of the houses and it's giving me Grudge vibes.

[@kafic_35]

Wow, that's a really cool idea to have a nice circle within the area to be involved with, it definitely builds a strong foundation. I love everyone's backstories especially the single mum!

[@emiliedoucet9231]

I love your gameplay style! I haven't been able to play the sims lately because of exams, but in the meantime I've been "building" a save file with some of yours and Jenn's households and builds. I really like the simplicity you guys build your houses with and how your sims' appearance are relatable, yet they all have very complex and detailed backstories. I am so excited to play during the winter break XD Also Mickaël's name is pronounced "meeka-elle" it's the French version of Michael. ;)

[@oshinsims]

i can't wait to see what you do with it! thank you so much, love ! have a safe and fun winter break x

[@SimmersDigest]

Such a fantastic look into the entire neighborhood, I am loving this and love how many characters you have in this series and how connected they are or they will be! Love it!

[@laurenr.9409]

I love watching your current household videos. This one is so similar to mine bc I’m hopping around from household to household ☺️

[@oshinsims]

that's great! i just started hopping around and it's the most fun to play this way ! i'm happy we have that in common :)

[@mrsmsutwana]

Your voice is so therapeutic Oshin, not to mention the banger bonus of an amazing storyline you give ❤️

[@xsimmerlu4722]

I love Summer Holiday!! She makes cute kids and that's one of my favorite things. I’ve been planning to get into rotational play and seeing this video is inspiring! I’m usually just playing legacy challenges .

[@SamJones-qx9hz]

I love playing rotationally and have recently started to incorporate the other households in my sims neighbourhoods into their lives (even if they aren't sims I'm actively playing) - it's really fun and has some interesting and unexpected outcomes; one of my sims had an affair with their neighbour and she got pregnant! Love your current family updates and would be happy to see more - your storylines and ideas really help to keep my sims stories fresh and different. Thank you 💕

[@jasminejohnson6245]

Lol that’s hilarious. Do you have your autonomy on or off? I can never decide which I want.

[@SamJones-qx9hz]

@@jasminejohnson6245 I play with autonomy on. It can get frustrating but I like that sometimes their actions guide my storylines.

[@justinjay2318]

Love this! Gives me inspiration for an up coming LP I might be making

[@25thSouth]

I just love hkw chill your videos are. Itso relaxing to listen while playing myself.

[@oshinsims]

thank youuu so much ✨

[@RuzeReine]

Yessss rotational gameplay is like the KEY 🔑 to making my off camera gameplay interesting! I love it so much when I create stories for several families in the neighborhood and get to switch it up once in a while 💕

[@ceciliathompson7533]

I love this save so much. It inspired me a couple weeks back to go (almost) vanilla and start a legacy. My founder is currently and adult with two beautiful girls and a botanist. So... thanks Oshin for inspiring my gameplay 🌊

[@oshinsims]

that’s beautiful, of course anytime love 💙✨

[@FitzyLimmy]

I saw this video and instantly got a surge of joy haha, I’ve really been vibing with the sims again recently 🌊🌊 🌊Love this household btw💙

that made me smile! yayyy. thank you so much, happy you're enjoying it :)

[@FionaSheridan]

oooo i loved this video! i love switching between households too and building connections between sims!

[@SandyCarey]

Loving this storyline. You do like I do. I'm not good at building.🙄 so I get mine from the gallery too. I love that you make the most of their homes to be comfortable. Livable with little perks like a good bed, tv, and skill building things that help them. I tried once to do it with just the $20,000, but my Sim was always complaining. 🙃

[@aidahennings7741]

Love you so much! By far one of my top three simmers ever! 🧡

[@auryxia2]

NOooo Oshin this was so cute!! i love the different stories they have and they kind of entangle each other. You're making me want to kick up my current household a lot thank you and till the next video love ya

[@oshinsims]

Thank you , love 🥺🥺💚

[@rororororonnie]

Can't wait what happens next! I love rotational gameplay! Having sims be friends and build relationships and add scenarios like drama is so fun! I've been doing this kind of gameplay ever since 4 came out.. I had a lot of redos though😂 but my current main legacy are at their 4th generation already aand I'm playing on long lifespan.. Been playing with them for almost 2 years now and I'm super attached to every single one of them including the neighbors i made for the story it's just so fun😭

switching between household is so genius!! my current household i've been playing angela pleasant and she's a 5 star celebrity living with her two adopted kids (her eldest just graduated uni with honors 🥺) at that big house at the top of the hill in del sol valley and it's been so isolating especially since whenever she does go out she's hounded by paparazzi and fans. so this really makes me want to start a new save and be super connected to a neighborhood like how you have in this save ❤️❤️❤️

[@oshinsims]

maybe one day Angela can quit the spotlight to get a break from the fame ! ;) thank you so much !

Inspiring me to try my hand at rotational style for the first time ever. I definitely enjoyed this and love how it actually feels like a connected neighborhood ya know?
