Things happen because you make them happen, and there are direct pathways to survival and getting what you want. There are also seasonal characters who will appear for specific holidays. Others will appear in non-quest game pop-ups, such as Barbara Belle who will offer you the opportunity to spend Sim Cash for more energy when you are out. Most will appear in pop-ups with set dialogue that initiates a quest. Watching those little bars for hunger, sleep, and social needs fill up over time is a meditative experience, the small joy of cause and effect. Characters in the Sims Social (with the exception of Bella Goth) are not interactive as a Sim. During some sessions, I’ll avoid cheats entirely and find pleasure in constantly satisfying needs. She can be a celebrity vlogger thanks to the “Get Famous” expansion, or she can open a restaurant in “Dine Out.” Anyone can be anything in The Sims, and you can, more or less, make anyone love you with enough time and positive mood boosters. Money is no object - there’s “motherlode” for that - but neither is time, or personality, or even natural talent. She can then go party all night long at the Bluffs until she’s found a crew of friends and romantic partners to wile away the hours before she goes on to master gardening or gourmet cooking.
In Sims 4, I can sit my sim at the computer for dozens of in-game hours (yay cheats!) while she masters the writing skill and goes on to produce masterworks that actually pay her a living wage.
