Rules:
1) always post these rules 2) answer questions given to you by person who tagged you 3) tag 11 people
1.) What is your unpopular opinion about the Sims? (i.e. not liking Makin’ Magic, hating premades, etc.)
Hmmm, I don’t know if I have an unpopular opinion. I just really dislike the way TS3 Sims look. D: It’s a shame because the scenery is stunning (and we all know how much I love scenery screenshots). Lag issues aside, it’s the major reason I can’t bring myself to ever play TS3 (also teh babs are creepy). The Sims look like they have no personality to me. D: Of course, I’ve come across the blogs of many talented TS3 Simmers who bring such refreshing life to their creations! But any time I tried to fiddle around with CAS myself, I couldn’t seem to make them look any different from each other.
2.) Any sort of collections? Anything, from bottle caps to safety pins.
I have a mini lighthouse collection. 😛 It’s not an “official” collection by any means, but I can count at least 4-5 in my room at the moment (figurines, lamps, candle holders, etc.) in addition to my lighthouse calendar and lighthouse bracelet. It’s kind of my thing. 😛 I also have an addiction to teapots – this has yet to manifest itself in real life yet (no room for them, as I still live at home with parents), but when I have my own place you bet I’ll be collecting them. 😀 (I have dozens of cc teapots in my game and I can’t bring myself to delete a single one.)
3.) What is the true reason you find yourself so drawn to the Sims franchise?
It’s so hard to narrow it down to a single reason! I was first lured in by the building and decorating aspect (TS1 days). I love being able to be creative without the pesky “goals” or timed challenges of other games. It’s a game that I can play at my own pace – I can play for eight hours a day for a week straight, or put it down for a month and not lose momentum. Some days I like to build, some days I like to decorate, some days I like to play. If I want to start a new hood or play with a different family, I can do so at any time. It’s like a bunch of games within a game, really. I don’t have to worry about completing a certain “level” to unlock the next one. I can play it however I want, when I want. 🙂 And everyone plays their game so differently! That’s what keeps the Sims community so alive – there are always different Simmers with different aesthetics who play the game differently. I’m never at a loss for inspiration. 🙂
4.) If you could banish one celebrity from the face of the earth, who would it be?
At the present time? Donald Trump.
5.) Describe your simming aesthetic in a single conglomerated sentence.
I’m a mostly Maxis-match, clutter-addicted, community-lot-building enthusiast.
1) Your favorite ice cream flavor?
Vanilla. I am a boring ice cream eater. 😛 Although if I had to spice it up a bit, vanilla chocolate chip. 😛
2) Dog person, cat person, rodent person, reptile person, fish person, invetebrate person, or bird person?
I’m not much of a pet person (not by choice – haven’t had the opportunity to have many pets in my apartment so it’s hard to tell if I even have a preference). I’ve had parakeets though, which are adorable. 🙂 I suppose in the future I’d like to have a dog – a big lovable one that looks like a wolf. 😀
3) How many siblings do you have?
Biologically? One sister (hi afc-sims). But if you consider my sorority…dozens. ;D
4) What’s the last book you read, and was it any good?
I have a bad habit of starting books and not finishing them. I blame my Kindle for putting so many books at my disposal at a single time. 😛 Although to be fair, I have a habit of rereading things instead of starting something new, so it’s not like I’m leaving a book unfinished (I already know how they end). Currently I’m doing this with Dead Until Dark by Charlaine Harris (because I’ve been rewatching True Blood). It’s enjoyable, but not amazing. I’m a bit biased – I don’t think I’d be as big a fan if I didn’t already like the show. I’m also still plugging away at A Dance with Dragons (which I haven’t actually read yet, so, surprises!).
5) Tell me about your favorite Sim and why you like them.
Ah, tricky question! I can’t single out just one Sim, but if I had to pick a favorite household it would be the Bushby-Pamuk household. 🙂 Sheila was the first Sim I created in this neighborhood, but I’ve gotten far more attached to Tabitha and Nate. I love their chemistry and personalities – they just seem like this really hip and passionate couple that always does cool things even when they’re married or (soon-to-be) with kids. Young at heart, if you will. The’re just so much fun. 🙂
My questions:
1) If you could go anywhere in the world right now, where would it be?
2) What is your favorite season?
3) What languages do you speak and/or what language would you like to learn?
4) What was the last thing you googled?
5) Tell me about one of the first families you ever played on the Sims.
Tagging: I’m losing track of who got tagged already, but if you would like to do it again using my (lame-ass 1:30 AM) questions, feel free. 😀
