Basically, just major glitches on the part of the game itself.
I've let Sims die. I've had romances that I didn't like. I have killed Sims that dared romance when I didn't approve :) They get bad jobs, they have kids when I didn't expect them. And I keep going.
Every once in a while, my game throws a glitch that makes me quit without saving. But they have been very rare. Like once Thomas should have died but the Reaper glitched on the lot. So I reset and Thomas lived another few days.
Hehehehe--yeah, you're defintely one to let the game flow as it flows, you don't really change anything that would necessarily make you unhappy. I wish I still had the mojo to do that, but in the end, if my main character got clonked my a meteor... Yeah. Not saving. XD
ReplyDeleteGlitches are a good reason not to save, though. Does happen occasionally in my own game, but hasn't for a while, thank goodness!
I just do it for glitches these days. What happens, happens. I'm not writing so I don't have to worry about a storyline although I never really followed a storyline...*laugh*
ReplyDeleteSo, no worries!
@Kaleeko, I don't have a serious mega plot laid out for the next two or three seasons either. You have the traits planned from birth.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I'd like it if Penny got hit by a meteor like two days after her next birthday. That might be enough to not save.
I also don't save when I've done something like add 5 people to the house just to control them. But I knew I wouldn't save then. :)
@Chrysame, I'm glad several of my blogs are just what happens happens. Cause the plot ones take *way* more work. LOL
Back when I was doing Zayne Hunter's blog, I mean back when Zayne was doing her blog, it was very important to my idea of the storytelling that aging be off. Silly me, I didn't understand that aging and story progression are universal, not just for that one saved game. So every time I turned aging on for a different game, I forgot to turn it back off when I went back to Zayne. I only found this out when she aged up seconds after the game loaded.
ReplyDeleteSo here she was, coming out of the stadium after a concert, and the minute she went through that loading interval they do when coming out of a rabbit hole, she aged up. I kept quitting and restarting, but I just wasn't fast enough to stop it. Finally I just let her age to adult, which wasn't really so bad. But it pissed me off.
