Suly suly!
I've been playing the Sims since Sims 1. Since then I've played all of the games on PC/PS and Xbox along with Freeplay. I now play Sims 4 on Xbox Series X (my other baby along with my tabby furbaby). I've been visiting AHQ for 4 years now and was super excited to find a Sims community since despite being in a big group of gamers there weren't many Sims players around me at that time. Since the base game went free there are more people around me starting to play, but I'm the more obsessed one lol. I still get the occasional eyeroll.
I love talking about Sims and trying help make it better. I also love how devoted people are to the game. I've learned a lot and also received a lot of invaluable advice and support and met some great people.
I have all packs now but my favourites keep changing for different reasons. I love Island Living and Sulani, I love Horse Ranch and wanted horses for such a long time. I'm super excited to be creating a castle right now for a Spellcaster. As a British country girl I love Cottage Living now a lot of the bugs have been fixed. I also love Cats and Dogs... but I do not like strays 🥺 even pixelated ones make me so sad. I had to build rescue shelters immediately to reassure me they have somewhere to go!
My favourite Sims are the ones that create things or travel across all worlds collecting and I really enjoy making retail lots to sell what they've collected or created. I was hesitant to add Werewolves and Vampires but the content is lovely and the lore is fascinating, but I haven't played as one. I'm very attached to Greg and like to check in on him from time to time.
I play for around 4 hours or so every day. I'm a builder at heart but I also like to create family networks across worlds. I often start with a big household of different generations and then split them out into their own homes. My favourite central family is a huge South American dynasty made up of over a dozen households, I'm always adding more.
I had to start my game from scratch again at the start of last year but it's actually been enjoyable to remake my Sims. I'm very attached to them and some have been in my game since I first started out with the base game all those years ago. I like to update them with the content I've added.
I love to build and have been adding to the Gallery since last year. I don't go in for hashtags though lol I just think since it can take me several days to build a lot maybe someone else can use it too.
I'm excited to see what new content we get this year!
