Introduction to The Sims
"It is really one of the most awesome games i've ever played !!"

That could be my first impression for The Sims series. Yes, i'm not lying. I believe everyone would have said the same thing. Exactly the same thing, right?

It was maybe in the middle of 2008, when i FIRSTLY heard about a game called The Sims from one of my classmates. No joke, guys.. i'm maybe this silly person who lost in 20th century. I'm an old gamer, however. I started playing many games since i was 3. It was the game bot or whatever in 1997, then SEGA console in 1998, PS1  in 1999, and some other gaming stuff until i came into my first lappie in 2002. There weren't so many good games in the lappie, so then i occupied myself much more on writing and playing PS1 in the other time. My parents had stopped buying me PS1 game CDs in 2002, so i had to enjoy all my old PS1 games.

Probably in 2005, my father bought a complete set of PC for me and my brother. I was so glad that finally i had something really entertaining at home. I learnt everything about computerization, together with my brother, and now computer is being one piece of my life. After the PC, i almost forgot about my old PS1, because there were actually so many new PC games to enjoy. Well, i like strategy and racing game for the most.

Back to the middle of 2008, i remembered looking at my friends building a house in The Sims 2. They also made a family, and named it with their names. I kept watching them, and i thought the game was wonderful, but i hadn't decided to try it yet. In the beginning of 2009, my brother showed me The Sims 2 Deluxe Edition he just installed on his lappie. I tried to play, and i didn't understand anything at all. I understood about the purpose of the game, play with life. I just didn't know how far it came to our real life. I felt really stupid and excited at the same time.

The game is really great and i was addicted ever since. We can make our own family, build and decorate our own house, oh.. even the town. The simulation person is realistic and yeah.. the furniture and everything are good too. I played The Sims 2 for almost 5 months, and i stopped because of the national exams. I was really sad that my parents asked my brother to remove the game because my score at school was getting worse. I didn't think it was completely caused by the game.

Not long before that, i had heard about the new The Sims 3, which allows the player to interact and visit all over the town. Yeah, that's brilliant.. knowing that we aren't able to do such thing in The Sims 2. I don't mean to compare both, cause they have their own plus and minus. I decided to play The Sims 3 ever since, and now i've collected all the expansions.

Play with life, yeah.

Early Life
I was born in Jogjakarta, a quite dense city in Southwestern Indonesia, one of the most beautiful cities in Indonesia. I'm female, and this year i will be 17. I'm about 165 cm height, and i'm native Indonesian. I speak Indonesian, English, Javanese, Sundanese, and a bit Japanese.

I spent my whole childhood in Bengkulu, and i moved to Bandung and live there until today when i was 4. I went on a trip to my hometown each year. I used to play with doll a bit, and a lot with cars and vehicle toys. I was into very much on building something, and i liked building mini racing circuit with my brother. Maybe that was why i like cars racing very much.

I also like writing and reading. Writing is my lifetime hobby, that i once had a dream to become an inspiring writer. I enjoy reading books, especially fiction novels, comics, and some textbooks. I started writing on a paper, and i also made kinda horrible comics when i was 7. Well, i'm really bad at drawing.

Consider making comics was kinda frustrating, i started typing short story on my father's lappie. It had reached almost 1000 pages, and my brother really liked my stories. Unfortunately, the file was deleted when my father decided to buy us a new PC, and i didn't write much afterwards.

I used to bicycle around my neighborhood at evenings, and watch cartoon 'till the time to work on homework and study. My parents have made me do some chores like sweeping, mopping, washing up and a bit cooking.

Lifetime Wishes
The Sims game has emerged again my aspiration to reach my lifetime wishes. These are my most wanted lifetime wishes :


 * Master at least 5 foreign languages (English, German, French, Japanese, and Arabic).


 * Travel all around the world (this one seems impossible).

Those wishes will give me huge amount of imaginary lifetime rewards, and i have promised to achieve them anyway. Wish me luck, guys !

My Legacies

 * My former legacy was called Lofty, consists of Matt, Hannah, and Sarah. The name suddenly came up when i wanted it to be a wealthy family. Hannah and Sarah are sisters, and they live only with their father Matt. Matt's wife, Mary, has died and he is supposed to look for a new mother for Hannah and Sarah. They live in Twinbrook, in a really big and luxurious house--with a few cheats for sure. I enjoyed playing this legacy for 2 months, but then i got bored and i left this legacy. I realized that turn the aging off would just make the game feels boring.


 * I created a new legacy exactly last year, and i meant to really play it and make long generations. It is called Vangaard. I didn't know what 'Vangaard' means, but it comes from the word 'vanguard'. This family, again, is a rich family, and i started out from hot couple Harold-Aurely. Harold is the heir of Vangaard family from TwainCity (imaginary town) and Aurely is the first daughter of Violetté family from Sunset Valley. Both produced 2 daughters named Anna and Aisha, which later Aurely got pregnant again and there came Aston, their only son.

I have played Vangaard family for estimatedly 1 year with long sim lifespan. Now, the family has spreaded to great-great-grandchildren generations. There are some particular inherited traits, like Genius, Neat and Brave traits, and also gardening and cooking are must-have skills for all particular Vangaard generations.
