Hello! Come and introduce yourself.

I've been a Simmer since discovering SimCity 2000 as a little kid, playing SimCity 3000 as a slightly bigger kid, and then getting The Sims on release as an even bigger kid.   Played Sims 1 until 2009 when my computer died, played Sims 2 from 2004 to 2016 (until another computer died) and finally tried Sims 4 in 2018.   Sims 3 had elements I liked, but I never really got into it the way I did the others, and I disliked not being able to design my neighborhood the way I could in Sims 2.   I'm a historian-librarian who loves writing, so my self-sim is always an independent writer or techie. Used to play a LOT of games, but these days its just Sims, Stardew Valley, and Red Dead Redemption 2.   I love that Horse Ranch lets me merge the three to some degree.    I'm here because of The Sims forums being shut down in July. Figured I might as well get used to the place!

Favorite Sims 4 world: Brindleton Bay

Favorite Sims 4 pack:    Really tough call! I like the ones best that add to generational play, like Growing Together.
