Welcome to my user page! My real name is Patrick; I am a college student living in Wisconsin (United States), and have been a ''Sims'' fan since I first played in 2000. I also play ''SimCity'' and other computer simulation games. Off the computer, I am interested in meteorology and cartography. |

I am an editor and [[The_Sims_Wiki:Administrators|Administrator]] here on ''The Sims Wiki'', and I'm here to edit as well as to help editors and to maintain order.

'''A little about Me''' |
|||
My username is LostInRiverview, as you should know, considering that you are reading this on my user page. I will also respond to 'LIR' if you are so inclined to call me that, or by my real name (Patrick); other nicknames must be approved by me or an administrator :). |
|||
My first introduction into the Maxis/Sims genre was in 1998, when I received, for my birthday, a copy of ''SimCity 2000''. As a child, I was very interested in city design, an interest that I continue to have even today. I got ''SimCity 3000'' in 1999 (just as soon as I had figured out how to play SimCity 2000), and was quite intrigued by one of the demos included in the autoplay menu, for some new game called "The Sims." Naturally, I forgot about it, until that day in February 2000 when I spotted the game while with my mom shopping (I was not yet 10 years old). I asked her if I could get it, and she reluctantly agreed, after I assured her that I would in fact play the game, and not just let it sit and collect dust. I've played ''The Sims'' series ever since, and have at one point or another owned every expansion pack for ''The Sims'' and ''The Sims 2.'' My playing recently has been interrupted by intrusions from my real life, as well as computer failures, tragic chair-related CD accidents, and college classes. |

'''Quick Facts:''' |
|||
- My birthday is June 11th (Gemini) |
|||
- I am from the United States |
|||
- I attend a university in Wisconsin |
|||
- I am currently a junior (3rd year) in college, majoring in Geography |
|||
- Other computer games of interest include ''SimCity 4'', the original ''RollerCoaster Tycoon'' (which I still play, even though it was released in 1999), a quaint little game called ''Populous: The Beginning'' (a mini playable demo of which was included in the aforementioned autoplay menu for ''SimCity 3000''), and ''Spore'' (which was somewhat of a let-down). |
|||
- When I was very young, I was obsessed with any Sonic the Hedgehog game for the Sega Genesis. Sonic is still my favorite video game character of all. |
|||
'''Facts about me and ''The Sims'' ''' |
|||
- When playing ''The Sims'' series, I almost never play the pre-created families or use the pre-created neighborhoods when I can help it. I like building my own neighborhoods from the ground up. Incidentally, I have downloaded the [[Create-A-World]] tool, but it is proving very difficult to learn (if anyone can help me, please write me on my [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk page]]; your help is appreciated!) |
|||
- Because I almost never play the pre-created families or neighborhoods, I am, unfortunately, not as knowledgeable about the Maxis/EA created families as some other editors on this wiki are, so I am not as well-suited to edit Sim or family-related pages. |
|||
- I am very interested in continued participation in this wiki, and in getting to know its editors. I feel that by participating in the wiki, I am helping to further other people's knowledge of the games, as well as my own. |
|||
Well, that's about all I have to say right now. Please, feel free to leave me a message on my [[User_talk:LostInRiverview|talk page]], and I'll try to respond in a timely manner. I am willing to help with fact verification (if you are unsure about something game-related, I can check it out for you), article editing and creation (I may not know everything about editing but I am eager to learn and already know how to do quite a bit), or just general problems or concerns. Additionally, if you just want to chat, it's more than welcome! |

Completed projects / finished ideas
Riddles/PuzzlesRandom Riddle - Go to my talk page if you know the answer. What is: The beginning of eternity
The beginning of every end And the end of every place? Correct Answer: the letter 'e' - Answered by Dharden! Not Quite a Riddle - This has been floating around for a while, but hopefully you haven't heard it or read it yet - It's one of my favorites. Again, if you know the answer, go to my talk page. Two old friends meet up in a restaurant over drinks of cold iced tea. The waiter delivers two teas, and the friends start drinking. The first friend is very thirsty and drinks his tea quickly. The second friend is there more to chat, and drinks his tea very slowly, enjoying the conversation. The second friend finishes their drink, then suddently drops to the floor, dead. Both drinks were exactly the same in every way - how did the second person die when the first did not? ---- Thanks for stopping by! - Patrick a.k.a. LostInRiverview |
