Hello. I'm glad for this thread, for it seems I'm not the only older cat lady here. I have two 11-year-old cats, and a 5-year-old Border collie who is ADHD, yet smarter than I am.
I write historical novels for a living (which I think requires me by law to own at least two cats), under the names J. Ardian Lee, Julianne Lee, and Anne Rutherford. Fifteen novels, all published by imprints belonging to Penguin Random House.
I was sucked into the Sims universe on Christmas 2001, when my son gave me a copy of the first Sims game. I enjoyed making custom content, but was quite ready for Sims 2 when it arrived. Genetics and life stages made the game for me. My goal was to grow the population of one neighborhood to ten generations, then stop making babies and watch the town shrink and die. But a computer disaster killed off most of my Sims at about Gen 8. I tried to rebuild with the very few I could salvage and some new Sims. I had one guy with four wives and 28 children, all living in a compound (apartment complex), and he supported his wives by gifting them with statuary they would then sell. With several hundred Sims and about forty households, it took forever to get the town through one week. I completely missed Sims 3. But Sims 4 has seduced me with the varying body types; I am looking forward to seeing how the gene pool looks after a few generations. And, weirdly, the smaller worlds suit me, because they'll keep me from overpopulating to the point I can't make any progress.
