Thanks for watching I'm glad you liked it! I used to write it down in a notebook and still do because I don't often keep my spreadsheet up to date but with my new series I've been trying to. Having the spreadsheet is so helpful when you come back to families you get a mini recap which I need. Definitely try it!
Thanks for the tip about cancel moving when placing NPCs. Usually I place directly from the gallery and evict. Then edit their fits from the manage household menu. Which works but I like to switch it up sometimes.
Thank you! This was really useful. I'm still struggling a little with finding my optimal way of playing rotationally - I was a Sims2 player for many, many years, only started playing TS4 in 2019 (skipped TS3 completely) so coming from a game where I had one save with 100's of played families, I'm still working out the best way for me in the TS4. Will definitely follow along on your LP.
I've gotta play sims 4 now that I got mac silicon where sims 2 and 3 (my fav games) don't work. I didn't wanna play sims4 cause I thought it's not suitable for legacy playing with local aging neighbors and all but after your video I think sims 4 has a way larger world than I thought and now I'm really thrilled to try this way of playing. Like I'm actually shocked how much you can do in this game, earlier parts seems more understandable
@@minaropaa7535 Virgos are stereotyped to be very logical, systematic, and perfectionists. So pulling out a spreadsheet to play sims was like over the top virgo energy lol.
@@jililevak7639 Jesus Christ I've never felt more exposed after reading that spot on stereotype. It's like I've never realized until now how much of a Virgo I am till I read that and sat back and tried to see how many of those fit me, and they all did to a tee lmao
Just found out origin wasn’t a thing anymore and had to reDL my sims (yes it’s been a while) and I’m interested to try this method of playing. Love the idea to makeover the npcs 😂 I would not touch them otherwise.
Hi!! Soo useful, thanks so much for your effort and tips❤ maybe you can help solve a doubt, when you cancel automatic aging and the neighbors’s stories , you can pause the time for a second family in the same world /city and at the same scenario? I have 2 families in the same city and when I play with one, the other one keeps moving! And I’ve disabled the automatic age option but they keep moving… there’s a solution? Or I have to rotate for this? Or maybe if I put them in “inactive “ they pause too?
@@palomaformell4245 I made this comment seven months ago as a heads up to the person posting the video. I'm not sure why a handful of people have suddenly decided to respond to it by implying that it must be a me problem because it sounded fine to them, but I will point out 1) over the 7 months this comment has existed 22 people gave it a thumbs up which implies that they agreed the audio was low, 2) I am not the only person who posted a comment saying that the audio on the video was low, and 3) the person who posted the video responded to one of the other comments about the audio seven months ago "Thanks for letting me know. Getting a new microphone soon."
Great video, ive played rotationally in the past but relied on my memory, so seeing how you set out the spreadsheet has been really interesting!

Glad it was of use! I only started with sims 4 never had tried in sims 2 but I was pretty small at the time haha.
I didn't even know what rotational gameplay is. I am very surprised how much planning you do for your gameplay.
Glad I could show you a new way to play! It’s so fun! Planning it is fun for me but I try and keep it simple because I’m lazy lol
I play like this but not with the spreadsheet - great idea!!!
Great video all round, thanks for the info.
@@eggbock9704 you are super welcome!
never thought of playing like this. might try it out!! great video ❤
I turn off aging so I can age sims as I feel like it.
About to start a new rotational save so watching this as I set up my spreadsheet!
Yay! I hope it helps! ❤

Unfortunately your audio volume is way too low :(
Really helpful, thank you!
Just so you know, your audio is very low.
I thought it was fine
Nothing wrong here
Maybe your volume is low because it sounds fine for me
It seemed fine to me?
