Play styles vary from player to player. My houses end up looking gaudy, bland or industrial. I usually commit the Celebrity sin and marry my heroes. I sometimes make anime and game characters for the matrimonial sin I just mention.
It's when I focus on these people, who are basically data rendered into 3D models with a basic AI, that I find my flow and find my control freak issues channeled into stories worth writing home about.
I don't have much control over my life at this point: I can't drive, I can't find a totally suitable job because of not only my distaste for office jobs but that I am clumsy, I have to rely on family to send money whenever a holiday comes around because I am saving for decent glasses as it has been about 11 days since I lost my old rose gold wireframe glasses from 2013, I currently am living paycheck to paycheck on government money, getting by on services provided by the state, even if the county office is located in PA's East border and not in NJ for some off reason.
So, I sometimes take refuge from these heavy thoughts in worlds generated in my PC, playing with my citizens of small worlds.
It's when I care for the people in the simulation that I find a sort of Happiness with the sonder emotion of envisioning great vivid lives for them.
