1. What is your favourite version of the Sims?
The Sims 2.
2. What are 3 things that make it your favourite?
3. What is your favourite season to play in (or say if you don't have seasons)?
I love all of them for the different aspects they bring. I think my favourite is summer for no particular reason than it being sunny most of the time. There's a lot of snow in TS2, sometimes even in spring.
4. Do you use mods? CC? both?
Both, always and in every iteration of the franchise.
5. What are your 3 favourite traits/personality types?
6. What is your favourite career to play?
I love playing businesses. One of my couples run a hair salon together. One of them is the hairdresser and the other one works on the business side of things.
7. What is your favourite life stage?
Teen or YA. I love those initial stages when my sims go out and find friends and romantic interests on their own.
8. Do you do challenges? If so, which ones?
Sort of? Not in the traditional way though. I use a Random Occurrence Scenario file and randomize minor and major events from that list to happen to my households.
9. Do you play with a simself?
No. I have created a simself in TS4, but I didn't like playing myself so I deleted that save after one play session.
10. Do you prefer Alpha or Maxis Match?
I prefer MM for clothing and alpha for hairs.
11. Which versions of the sims have you played?
All of them and every single expansion/game/stuff pack.
12. Do you also enjoy the Sim City series?
I tried it before but not for a significant amount of time. I think I like the character development of The Sims too much to really like Sim City.
13. Is Sims (any version) your favourite game or do you prefer another? If another, what one?
The Sims 2 will forever be my favourite game. It has been since the moment it got released and I don't see it changing. It's the one game I've played regularly throughout my whole life.
14. What's your favourite world in the sims universe to play in?
Pleasantview. I play it in TS2 and have been playing it for years now and I also play the downloaded version in TS3.
15. Which sims world would you most want to live in?
Pleasantview with my dear TS2 characters.
16. What are your favourite packs? Pick 5.
17. What are your 3 favourite build mode objects?
I'm not in build mode often, so I don't have any. From buy mode, I'd say any instruments or Freetime objects. The Freetime objects added so much gameplay.
18. Are there any packs you don't have? If so, do you want them?
Nope, I have everything.
19. Do you play with premades? If so, who are your favourites?
Yes, my gameplay consists entirely of premades. My favourites are Lucy Burb and Lilith Pleasant.
20. What life state do you like best?
Human, most of my sims are just that. I do really like all different lifestates though. I think I like witches/warlocks the most.
21. Do you use cheats? Which ones?
Boolprop is always on. I also always have a cheat on to turn the TV volume down in-game, to increase the amount of sims coming to parties and I always turn the plumbbob off.
22. Do you make celebrities/fictional characters etc? If so do you play them or let them wander the background?
No, I don't get my fun from recreating characters/celebrities.
23. If you could add any 3 features from a different version of the sims to your favourite version of the sims, what would it be?
TS2 is honestly my perfect game. Maybe easier building from TS4? Being able to drag rooms and move them around easily is a very handy feature.
24. What are your favourite hobbies in the sims?
Giving sims makeovers with the styling station, making pottery with the pottery wheel and I don't do it often enough but fixing up the wrecked car also seems very fun.
25. Do you kill sims purposely?
Sometimes when I roll a Random Occurrence Scenario where someone has to die.
26. What is your favourite aspiration?
I love that you can have a primary and a secondary aspiration in TS2. It makes for more complex characters. Family is my favourite primary one and I think Fortune comes after that.
27. Do you play with pets? If so, what kinds?
Yes, most of my households have pets. The Goth family have a cat breeding business going on. There are cats, dogs, parrots and womrats around.
28. Do you prefer playing sims lives, buidling their homes, or creating their styles?
Playing my sims lives is the core of the game for me. I don't like building at all and creating styles is great fun, but I try to spend most of my time playing.
29. When did you start playing?
TS2 when it came out, but I think I started playing TS1 in 2003.
30. What is the name of your newest created Sim?
I created a new family lastly, so their names are Andrew, Cindy and Max Benson. They're the parents and brother of one of the sims I was already playing. I rolled an ROS where I had to create a new family so I decided to give one of my townies turned playables some background. They took in her son Rowan because she's got a lifelong prison sentence.
The Sims 2.
2. What are 3 things that make it your favourite?
- You can feel the passion that went into creating this game and you can see it in the little details.
- I love rotational play in it and how autonomous sims are in interacting with each other.
- Anything and everything can be modded in TS2 and I love the mods that are still being created to this day.
- I love the community that still surrounds this game. (A bonus one!)
3. What is your favourite season to play in (or say if you don't have seasons)?

5. What are your 3 favourite traits/personality types?
- Sloppy sims wet the entire bathroom floor whenever they have a shower so I have to pay attention and make them take baths instead.
- Super neat sims eat their crisps in a very dramatic manner so as not to dirty their fingers.
- Shy sims look at you through the screen with a tortured expression when you try to make them do overtly spontaneous things.
