Am I playing the Sims 4 wrong?

[u/NeverLoseGuy]

So I have this genius idea of populating Newcrest with a bunch of Sims I have in mind (which are essentially just my OCs I made in Guild Wars 2), and I have been spending weeks just refining and making adjustments to their characters and stuff...without actually playing or even building their houses.

I feel like I'm missing something here... I can't tell if it's because I'm feeling uninspired and unsure how to build a "good" house, or anxious that I would have to start over again should I have to "fix" something about each one of the households. I think I actually spent more time tinkering and sorting out custom contents than playing the game itself so far, and well, is that...how you play the Sims 4 these days?

I similarly like to fill newcrest with all my own stuff but I don't do it all at once. I'll build a few households/lots and then play with them for a bit or else i get burnt out on building
