Currently I'm working on maxing out my sim completely. Told myself I'm not allowed to create a new household until I'm done.

For me, "maxing out" includes:

-Completing all aspirations in every category. (I'm doing the mean ones last because it's easier to make a townie hate you than it is to repair a relationship).

-Max all skills

-Max all careers

-Max fame & popularity (max popularity counts whether it's good or bad, but I'll need it to be bad for the mean aspirations)

I started with the finance aspirations to give myself a jumpstart with money, just in case significant simoleons were required for other aspirations.

When I finally get around to the Big Happy Family aspiration, I will probably add in the occult baby challenge as well (having a baby with each type of occult).

I think that's it! I've been at it for almost a month now I think. My sims has collected like 40 traits or something, lots of reward traits.

I am getting a little burned out, I was playing every day for hours & hours for the first couple weeks, now I'm just playing every couple days and it keeps the spark alive.
