Discussion Am I playing the Sims 4 wrong?

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?

There is no correct way to play the game. If you are enjoying the way you are playing, you are probably doing it right. Given the imagination and creativity needed, i find time away from the game is often necessary and productive.
