I love writing. Many times I've tried writing books, and only managed to achieve it four times in my life. None of those books are published. I'd never publish a book that I've written. It just seems wrong to me, to put a price tag on my hobby, and it'd suck the fun out of writing for me.
Along with those books, I've written many short stories, fan fictions, drabbles, tales, even a collection of stories about cats. The latter is an aid to coming to terms with the loss of a cat that I totally adored.
Sims Gaming
As you can plainly see by my userboxes, I love Sims 2. I have played Sims 1 and Sims 3, but I didn't like them that much.
Favourite Game
Sims 1 was too basic, and pretty much the reason that I went off Sims console games. Not enough family detail in them, and it was all build houses for sims that are never going to age, and I'll probably get sick of eventually, and never play again.
I felt Sims 3 was great, but I didn't like how the whole neighbourhood could age with out my input. When I play sims, I like to sculpt my own stories with in each household. It was great, but not the game that I will always love.
Sims 2 really was the best for me, because it had everything I wanted. Great graphics, and so many possibilities for houses. Detailed families, that I could help them achieve greatness in their lives, and expand their families. Yet, if the sims didn't live on the current lot, they were frozen exactly how I left them.
Interior/Exterior Design Interests
Japanese zen minimalism, and old gothic houses. Not at the same time of course.
I'm not Japanese or goth, I just like the designs. I always seemed to put more effort into these designs, than any other. But, my true skill was gothic houses. Whether they were tiny little spooky houses, or big gothic manors, I'd go all out on them to make them both awesome and gothicly spooky.
Sim Goals
For every single sim or household, I'd have exactly the same goal; getting them to permanent platinum mood. I just thought that was so nice, that their graves had the aspiration symbols on them, it was like an acknowledgement of the achievements of the departed sims lives. That, and it's so much easier to follow my own created story lines, if I have the aspiration items to help nudge things along.
Opinions On Cheats/Downloadable Custom Content
I don't use cheats, because I feel that it ruins the game. I'd much rather spend time achieving or unlocking things, and have a sense of achievement, rather than tap in some cheat to instantly get everything.
Downloadable custom content, I don't use because when I most often played Sims 2, I didn't have access to internet. If I had have had internet then, I might have used that custom content.
Favourite Sims
I love the Goths they are my fave family in the whole game. They remind me so much of The Addams Family, which I love too. I couldn't possibly choose between Mortimer, Bella, Cassandra or Alexander, I adore them all.
