How would you describe your character?
I would definitely say that I am a person who is open to new experiences. I enjoy adventure and food.
When did you start playing The Sims?
The Sims was my first video game ever. I've been playing The Sims since I was 5 or 6 years old. Every time a new Sims game comes out, I get it right away.
What do you love about the game?
When I play The Sims, I play the best version of myself. My Sim is super smart, has maxed out all their skills and will probably double their major and take every elective at college.
What excites you about playing The Sims?
I just want to represent a family for as many generations as possible. I love building a story.
What is your unique approach to the game?
I personally don't build much. I'm perfectly fine with using prefab houses. If I can just play the families and watch their stories unfold, I'm happy.
Where do you get inspiration for CAS from?
The inspiration comes from the sim. To me, her wardrobe suits her personality.
What is your favorite part of The Sims community?
The best thing about The Sims community is definitely the creations they come up with. I love going through the gallery and through twitter and just seeing different custom content or builds that people have created. This is really great.
How would you describe The Sims community and what does it mean to you?
I find The Sims community SO creative. I'm totally amazed at how people build super detailed plots.
What is your claim to fame as an influencer in The Sims community?
I'm not famous at all in The Sims community haha.
What do you want the audience to know about you?
My second passion besides The Sims is dancing. I've been dancing for as long as I can remember and I do it professionally.
What is the life lesson you learned from playing The Sims?
I think I learned some life lessons from The Sims, mostly in design, like interior design. I'm a bad builder but I love decorating rooms. I kind of took that and brought it into my real life and started decorating my real rooms. This is pretty fun. I feel like playing The Sims has enriched my life - not because of creating and raising families, but because I've met so many great people through The Sims.

How would you describe your character?
I'm actually not particularly outgoing. I present myself to be. I'm not competitive and it's okay if I don't win, but I also come from a big, massive family where we fight each other over the food on our plates. So it's kind of in me to be competitive, but I don't think it's a dog eat world and you don't have to have drama or put someone down to be successful.
When did you start playing The Sims?
I've been playing The Sims since I was 5 years old when my brother's friend came over to our house with a The Sims CD and thankfully let me install it on my computer. I was excited from the start because it's so open. There are so many possibilities.
What do you love about the game?
I truly live vicariously through my Sims because there are so many different options in life that I would love to explore, but you have to choose an option in life to actually make it. There are so many different things you can do.
What excites you about playing The Sims?
Being able to reenact different storylines.
What is your unique approach to the game?
We are very focused on the storylines in the game.
Where do you get inspiration for your CAS creations from?
I'm not actually entering Create-A-Sim. I tend to focus on gameplay, storytelling, and building.
What is your favorite part of The Sims community?
Being a part of the Sims community has completely changed my life because now I have so many friendships that I absolutely love. I really get to meet so many cool people who are on exactly the same wavelength as me because it can be pretty difficult just bumping into people like that. And it's really enriching to share creative ideas and bounce off each other. That's the best way I can describe it.
How would you describe The Sims community and what does it mean to you?
The Sims community means everything to me. See answer above thanks. x
What is your claim to fame as an influencer in The Sims community?
The entire story of the series as I explore the lore behind the Townies featured in the game.
What do you want the audience to know about you?
I come from a large massive family in the north east of England and we are very northern. We are very working class and we are many. My accent is actually from Middlesbrough. Family and friendship mean everything to me.
What is one life lesson you learned from playing The Sims?
I think an important life lesson I learned from this is how different the world can be, because you can have so many different types of characters in the Sims — completely different traits, completely different ethnicities, completely different sexualities — that the World is just a melting pot of people. And it's a great way to discover that.

Typically open but quiet around those I don't know. As soon as I'm comfortable, I show up.
When did you start playing The Sims?
Around the age of 10 on the console.
What do you love about the game?
The ability to create and tell stories.
What excites you about playing The Sims?
Being able to create small simulated humans and tell stories; Building; and design.
What is your unique approach to the game?
I mix and match any playstyle (building, CAS, storytelling) and use mods and custom content to extend my experience. I come up with different challenges, storylines, and playstyles to keep my interest alive.
Where do you get inspiration for your CAS creations from?
Real life photo shoots and everyday people. Tumblr is a great place for that.
What is your favorite part of The Sims community?
To see the diversity that came from talking and forming The Black Simmer a few years ago. It's been amazing to see how the Sims community has diversified online.
How would you describe The Sims community and what does it mean to you?
I love the community I've built and the people I've met through my love for The Sims over the years. I'm really glad I started creating content.
What is your claim to fame as an influencer in The Sims community?
Ask, seek, and help create diversity within the Sims community and gaming space.

What is one life lesson you learned from playing The Sims?
Don't be afraid to let your creativity run free and have fun.

How would you describe your character?
How would I describe my personality? Creative, funny, uncompromisingly myself, realistic and sometimes stubborn.
When did you start playing The Sims?
I started playing The Sims in 2001 and I started with the ORIGINAL SIMS! I was only 11 years old then.
What do you love about the game?
I love that the Sims give the player the opportunity to live in a space where they can feel safe and create a world or lifestyle that they want that mimics their existing life. It also gives players a place to be creative in so many facets and offers endless hours of judgment-free entertainment. The Sims is a PLAYGROUND!
What excites you about playing The Sims?
The ability to create a virtual family to invest in. Being able to write stories that touch my viewers and having a place for my creativity to roam freely. Plus the ability of a game to emotionally involve me in a way - no other game - and keep me hooked for more than half of my life!
What is your unique approach to the game?
Tell stories. I love creating stories and sims that reflect the story I'm telling. I think my uniqueness comes from how far I'm willing to go to get my story across.
Where do you get inspiration for your CAS creations from?
everyday people. Friends, family, sometimes even my own life! I often find myself picking my own experiences and applying them to one or more Sims and making that a central point in their experience/story.
What is your favorite part of The Sims community?
I have no friends in real life who play the game. So it's nice to be able to share my creations with other players who have the same passion for the game as I do.
How would you describe The Sims community and what does it mean to you?
Passionate, creative and colourful. There are so many players from all walks of life living together here and that means everything to me because again growing up I didn't really have a sense of community. I'm doing it now and it's priceless.
What is your claim to fame as an influencer in The Sims community?
My passion for The Sims, ability to connect with my viewers and my ability to tell stories!
What do you want the audience to know about you?
I'm just JENN, a girl expressing how she perceives the world around her in a game we call The Sims.
What is one life lesson you learned from playing The Sims?
Expression is the art of living.
Doctor Ashley
Hometown:Vancouver, Canada
Player type:Baumeister
How would you describe your character?
I'm a very positive person who likes to see the best in everything. I'm also quite easygoing, laid back and don't take anything too seriously. However, I can be a very focused and motivated person when I need to be.
When did you start playing The Sims?
I started The Sims when I was very young, probably around 10 years old. I have an older brother who loves all video games so he definitely got me playing. I started The Sims 2 and I remember playing it for hours alone and sometimes with friends. I was the girl who preferred to stay home and play The Sims than anything else. I also built the WORST houses back then…. Just huge boxes that didn't even have roofs!
What do you love about the game?
The Sims is a way for me to rediscover something I loved as a kid, but it's also a way to create my own reality where I make the rules. I can do whatever I want, dress however I want, and take any career path. There is an unlimited number of experiences you can have in the game that may not be possible in your everyday real life. I've also found The Sims to be the best creative outlet. Sometimes I need to escape the pressures of real life and just let my creativity take control. This is the game that really lets me do whatever I want.
What excites you about playing The Sims?
The longevity of the game is really appealing. The developers work really hard to release new content packs every year to keep the game interesting and fresh. Once you think you've seen it all, a new pack will appear to change your plot or interior style. I'm constantly being creatively challenged to build different things and use new objects. I can see myself playing this game for the rest of my life.
What is your unique approach to the game?
I like building with the players in mind. I understand that not all Sims players can have every single pack. That's why I actually started my YouTube channel as a base game maker to prove that you don't have to have every single pack to build a great home. Today many of my builds and series on YouTube only use base game + 1 pack so I can make sure most people can use and enjoy my creations.
What is your unique architectural style?
I really enjoy building from a real life reference photo of a house. This is perhaps the most unusual thing of all…. However, it's so satisfying when a build in a video game can look exactly like a real house! Recreating some of the unique architectural details is a lot harder than it looks, but getting the creative juices flowing is a fun challenge. The series on my channel dedicated to this concept is called Curb Appeal.
Where do you get inspiration for your builds from?
I get my build inspiration from pretty much everywhere. Whether I'm walking the streets of downtown Vancouver or traveling across Europe, inspiration can come at any time. Regarding my interior design... HGTV across the board! Someone once told me that my interior reminded them of a Joanna Gaines house. Preferably. Comment. je.
What is your favorite part of The Sims community?
One of the great things about The Sims is how immersive it is. It doesn't matter how old you are, where you live or what you look like. Here's a place for you.
How would you describe The Sims community and what does it mean to you?
The Sims community is one of the most passionate communities out there. They know what they want and aren't afraid to let the world know. They are also some of the most supportive people. It doesn't matter if you're a beginner or an experienced builder, there's always someone to tell you what a great job you've done and encourage you to keep improving. Without community support, I'd probably still be building boring cardboard houses with no dimensions or fun backstories.
What is your claim to fame as an influencer in The Sims community?
I wouldn't necessarily say that I have a clear claim to fame. I have created some notable series on my YouTube channel like my home renovation series Love It or List It and my recovery series Curb Appeal. That being said, I think my videos just convey a relaxed and positive vibe to be in. I'm not here to stir the pot or dispute anyone's opinion. People also say that I have a soothing voice haha!
What do you want the audience to know about you?
I'm very proud of my Asian origins and I really want to be a role model in this community. I haven't personally met many Asian influencers in The Sims community, so I'm hoping that by being on the show, I might be able to inspire more people to show themselves there. Also, YouTube isn't my full-time job either! I'm just your average young office worker by day and a dedicated simmer by night!
What is one life lesson you learned from playing The Sims?
Try to stay positive all the time. Ultimately, the diverse and growing fanbase of The Sims also leads to a diversity of opinions. Everyone likes to play the game differently, so let's embrace that! Don't let negativity stop you from playing the game the way you want to play it.

How would you describe your character?
I would say I'm pretty easygoing and like to go with the flow.
When did you start playing The Sims?
I started playing The Sims 4 when I was 26 and I played the original Sims and The Sims 2 a few times when I was around 10-12 years old.
What do you love about the game?
I love The Sims because it's a very creative game; you have a lot of freedom.
What excites you about playing The Sims?
I'm drawn to The Sims because it's such a creativity-driven game.
What is your unique approach to the game?
I don't think I have a particular approach to The Sims - I just love building.
Where do you get inspiration for your creations from?
I use inspiration from real life and sites like Pinterest.
What is your favorite part of The Sims community?
My favorite part of The Sims community is the mutual support and camaraderie you share with others.
How would you describe The Sims community and what does it mean to you?
The Sims community is very supportive and such a creative group of people. Community support means a lot, especially when you start out and share your creations on a platform like YouTube.
What is your claim to fame as an influencer in The Sims community?
I don't think I have any right to be famous as a simming influencer. I just love building and luckily some people enjoy it too.
What do you want the audience to know about you?
What I've always loved to do is travel. I've been to nine different countries outside the US and 41 states inside the US. I can't wait to travel further - there is still so much to see.
What is the life lesson you learned from playing The Sims?
A life lesson I've learned from playing The Sims is to just take a risk. Life is only so long so do what you love and take the opportunity when you find something you enjoy and just take the chance.

home country:Deutschland
Player type:Baumeister
How would you describe your character?
I would perhaps describe myself as a typical German. I like making plans and getting things done by planning a lot and then moving on. Sometimes things still end up in a big mess, but I'll try to take it all with humor. Even if some might say that we Germans have no sense of humor. I hope I can prove them wrong.
When did you start playing The Sims?
I've been playing The Sims for 20 years.
What do you love about the game?
I love building in The Sims 4. It's my favorite thing in the game and I've been doing it since Sims 1 came out.
What excites you about playing The Sims?
The creative freedom. I can build whatever I want and create whole new worlds for my Sims and others to explore. Otherwise I'm not very artistic – I can't draw or sing, for example. But it's cool that through the game I've found a way to unleash my creativity.
What is your unique approach to the game?
I definitely like challenging the game's build mode at times. I always try to create new builds that are new in form or function to the original gameplay. Recreating houses, sets, or props from movies or TV shows and bringing them into The Sims 4 is also a nice challenge.
Where do you get inspiration for your builds from?
I definitely think it's easier to build something when you have a reference. Since living in southern Spain I find it easier to build southern Spanish architecture. The same goes for any type of German build, of course. Sometimes a small picture of a house or even art can spark a new idea for a build.
What is your favorite part of The Sims community?
I think it's a community that cares a lot about each other. It's a closer, friendlier sense of community. Simmers are very creative and fun people who often enjoy talking about the game and sharing their stories, creations and ideas. Everyone is welcome and no idea is too weird or frowned upon. That's what I really like about The Sims community, and I think it also makes it special than maybe even other game-related communities.
How would you describe The Sims community and what does it mean to you?
I am happy to be a part of this community and love how friendly and creative everyone is. Over time I've made new friends who all love the game as much as I do. We all inspire each other. Since the community is global, the primary language is English, so I can improve by interacting and speaking with everyone in the community. So that's a nice side effect too.
What is your claim to fame as an influencer in The Sims community?
When I started my YouTube channel, I just wanted to showcase some of my builds better than the in-game gallery. I've been building in The Sims since Sims 1 as a hobby and just thought it would be a nice activity to make these tiny videos and share some of my ideas with the community. I never thought it would get this big to be honest. It's still a hobby for me that I really enjoy doing, and I'm happy when others are inspired by my videos.
What do you want the audience to know about you?
I'm just blown away by how someone from a small town in Germany who loves building in The Sims is now in this insanely big competition with so many talented players. How did I end up here? Haha. I'm definitely honored to be here at all and to compete. I hope I don't let my team down.
What is one life lesson you learned from playing The Sims?
I've learned to be more patient I would say. Building in The Sims takes a long time. It's like tiny knick-knacks that you keep adding. There are some builds that take up to 45 hours. And it also imagines how everything will look like in the end. I really love building and expressing my creativity through the game.
SpringSims
home country:Illinois
Player type:Baumeister
How would you describe your character?
I am a very goal oriented person with a bright and positive personality. If I believe I can achieve anything, it's possible.
When did you start playing The Sims?
I've been playing The Sims for 20 years since the original Sims game. When I think about most of my life I've been playing the Sims since I started when I was 4 years old which sounds crazy. But once a simmer, always a simmer.
What do you love about the game?
Representation and unrestricted play with my imagination is super important to me. Because if you can incorporate any ethnicity or personality or whatever into the game and use your imagination to create something unique out of it, it makes it more rewarding for me to play.
What excites you about playing The Sims?
The community draws me to play The Sims when I see such amazing creations and stories, buildings, or a sim someone made just for fun. It motivates me to think outside the box and come up with new ideas for things to do while playing The Sims.
What is your unique approach to the game?
Trying to incorporate everyday life, movies or even books I read into the Sims I create to tell a unique story.
Where do you get inspiration for your build creations from?
I usually take inspiration from Pinterest for different architectural styles. I even checked out The Sims 4 Gallery, particularly while scrolling through the debug objects for new build ideas.
What is your favorite part of The Sims community?
The Sims community is one of the best and most positive things I've ever been a part of, where we all share a common interest in The Sims to motivate other Simmers. I'm honestly glad to be a part of this community.
How would you describe The Sims community and what does it mean to you?
I would describe The Sims community as a passionate and dedicated group of people who just want to see The Sims succeed. It makes me happy that someone is always there when I need help, whether it's for The Sims or just general life advice. It shows that the Sims community is like a second family.
What is your claim to fame as an influencer in The Sims community?
My "claim to fame" as an influencer in The Sims community is that I can share insights on staying motivated with The Sims using your imagination, including being a positive light within the community to help others encourage never to give up what they do enjoy most.
What do you want the audience to know about you?
The reason I chose SpringSims is because I loved The Sims and my allergies usually come in the spring. And so I kind of put two and two together. Feather. sims It made sense at the time I created the channel. So I figured I'd keep it my brand. And then the color yellow and the whole spring vibe just made sense.
What is one life lesson you learned from playing The Sims?
I've learned a lot of compassion, kindness, positivity, and community through playing The Sims. I used The Sims to overcome my fear and escape from the real world. Because with The Sims, I always felt like it was more than just a game. When I was in school, people used to make fun of me for being different and playing a "girl game" or wasting my time. No matter what people said about me, The Sims allowed me to be myself and express myself.
DeeSims

Player type:teller
When did you start playing The Sims?
I was 9 or 10 years old when I was first introduced to The Sims by a neighborhood friend. I would spend time at her house and pull up a chair every day and watch her play The Sims. I thought that was absolutely the best experience, and that was probably about a month before her mom came upstairs and saw me watching my friend play and she said, "Have you never played the game?" And I said, "No," like, you know, "she won't let me play," and she said, "Oh, give her a twist." That day was probably like a big blow to our friendship because her mom was just on it insisted it was my turn where before I would just drop in and just watch and I thought that was for the best until I actually started playing and I was like, "Wow, I'm in love with this game." It's been a crazy ride ever since.
What do you love about the game?
What I really love about The Sims is my creative expression. So I feel like I can create anything, I can create anyone, I can create people who look like me in game and just have different experiences. It really is a stress reliever. But most importantly, I can express myself so creatively in what I want to see around me, how I want my story to be told, and it really gives me the freedom to create anything.
What excites you about playing The Sims?
What's great about The Sims is that I'm able to start a family and create a story and a background and really bring my Sims to life, really bring their stories to life, their traits, their traits and how they adapt to each other and get along with each other. So I really feel like playing The Sims and playing with different people that come from different walks of life, it's so easy to bring them together. That's something I really love about that, you can create anyone, anything, any past, any ethnicity, any diversity - you can create that and make it a big melting pot and in your own creative vision.
What is your unique approach to the game?
My approach would have to be to create a story with the most realistic elements! I love adding drama and twists to my gameplay! Much of my gameplay is recorded for my YouTube channel! One thing I enjoy most, and my viewers as well, is letting the Sims' autonomy play a big part in plot direction.
Where do you get inspiration for your creations from?
My stories are drawn from my experiences and I think something where you will see a lot of my personal life is my series Single Dad. A lot of the really big events that happened on this show have overshadowed my own life and I think that's why it's my favorite show. It's second to none. I get asked all the time, "Which show of yours is your favorite?" and no doubt I always say, you know, "You have to take Single Father out of that equation because it's second to none." It's a carbon copy of what I do went through growing up.
What is your favorite part of The Sims community?
My favorite aspect of The Sims community is the creativity! Seeing the creations of my fellow Simmers blows my mind, from build to create-a-sim! But the area that shines the biggest light is the custom content creation for this game! It really shows the talent of these creators!
How would you describe The Sims community and what does it mean to you?
Talented, creative and supportive! My DeeSquadt community is the most supportive group I've ever encountered in my life. You've definitely pulled me through some tough times in life! I am forever grateful to them! Every day when it's time for me to bring the daily dose of "Vitamin Dee," I know I'll do anything for her!
What is your claim to fame as an influencer in The Sims community?
My mission with The Sims and my channel is to create people who look like me in game and see the culture and diversity throughout my gameplay, so I make a lot of African American Sims in my game because I want my community to be like them Community looks like I'm used to.
What do you want the audience to know about you?
I love entertaining people. I honestly feel like I was put on this earth to entertain. I love drama and theatre. It was my undergraduate bachelor's degree. I've been in the theater all my life. I've always been a very dramatic person so it kind of worked hand in hand and with The Sims I feel like I'm really expressing myself and I'm really able to create characters and a setting and really come together and something to create history.
What is one life lesson you learned from playing The Sims?
An important life lesson I learned while playing The Sims is Charisma. I'm not afraid to talk to people or perform in front of people. I think it's important that someone is charismatic. I know it's not easy, but it's very important to me to open up and talk to people. I'm not afraid to talk to anyone.

How would you describe your character?
I've always been the class clown type. I've always really enjoyed making people laugh.
When did you start playing The Sims?
I've always been a fan of Sim City and Sim Tower, so I started playing it as soon as The Sims came out in 2000. I've played a lot of Sims 1. And when Sims 2 and 3 came out, I didn't have access to a computer because I was in school and working, so I couldn't play a lot of those games. But I played a lot of Sims Urbz and Sims Bustin' Out on my old Nintendo consoles.
Then, later, I started streaming on Twitch and Sims 4 came out, so I was like, 'Hey, I really liked The Sims back then. Do you mind if I, you know, play this? Would you guys think that's cool?” And they're like, “Yeah, I'd love to see how you approach this game!” So I started playing Sims 4 on day one and I've been playing it ever since—all the packs and everything.
What do you love about the game?
What I love about The Sims is that it's just so versatile. There's a little bit of everything in it. It has some humor; I can bring my creativity - my own brand of comedy - and the game lends itself really well to that. I work with and add the humor that is already in play. Even if there's a bug that's kinda funny and makes a situation silly, we just roll with it.
What excites you about playing The Sims?
For me it has to be the creative side. You can create your own little worlds, from the people to the buildings to the individual stories of each character. I really enjoy that – as a storyteller it's limitless.
What is your unique approach to the game?
I like to take existing challenges, like the 100 Baby Challenge or Rags to Riches, and then add my own wacky twist to things. How about 100 babies off the grid, for example, or a wheel that randomly inserts a bunch of weirdness into a Rags to Riches story?
What is your unique storytelling style?
What I think sets me apart is that when it comes to storytelling, I focus more on a fantasy element. I don't actually do real stories. I make up stories about pirates, romance in a medieval class system, or Sims struggling to survive. I like to invent such elaborate stories.
Where do you get inspiration for your creations from?
I have to say that a lot of this is my imagination, but I was heavily influenced by the Saturday morning cartoons I watched as a kid and other things like that.
What is your favorite part of The Sims community?
I've been fortunate to meet many other Simmers through my streams, events and cons who are in this amazing community and it's just so easy to make friends. That's what I like best about this community - anyone can connect with their love for this game and feel like they are themselves and that leads to great friendships.
How would you describe The Sims community and what does it mean to you?
It's hard to describe the community in a few words. It's this amazing group of creative people who are so inspiring and fun! You really feel like you belong, that you are valued and that you can just be yourself! It means a lot to me to be part of this amazing group of people.
What is your claim to fame as an influencer in The Sims community?
I'd like to think it's because of the creative, funny stories I tell. My daily madness. I also love building rooms that tell stories - I've done the 100 baby challenge about 4 times, each time in a new location that creates unique challenges.
What do you want the audience to know about you?
I picture myself as a Saturday morning cartoon character on one of those shows you remember from your childhood. I make up these stories that will put a smile on your face - at least I hope so.
What is one life lesson you learned from playing The Sims?
One important thing I learned from The Sims is to never go into a hot tub when you're really exhausted and about to woohoo. It doesn't end well - trust me.

When did you start playing The Sims?
I was 6 years old when I first picked up the game and I've been playing it ever since. I'm a lifetime simmer.
What do you love about the game?
I love character creation. I love telling stories about crazy ideas that my community and I come up with in The Sims. My personal favorite thing about The Sims is that it lets my imagination run wild.
What excites you about playing The Sims?
Honestly, it's the stories. I have always loved telling stories through my own virtual world and the range of stories that can be told is what keeps me coming back.
What is your unique approach to the game?
Don't recreate the perfect life. I feel like everyone can have their flaws and Sims feel so much more real when I let them slip or make mistakes or live in a gross environment. For me, that really helps keep the game entertaining, so I tend to lean on that when I'm playing.
What is your unique storytelling style?
People say I attach to my Sims like they're real people and I think that helps bring out their personalities in my stories in so many different ways.
Where do you get inspiration for your creations from?
Everywhere, really! Conversations I overhear, TV shows I watch, people I know. What's great about The Sims is that it's life based and there's an incredible amount of inspiration in life.
What is your favorite part of The Sims community?
The Sims community only promotes inclusion and diversity. It has players from all over the world. I met some of my very best friends through The Sims. And we meet several times a year. And it's like being reconnected with family. It just feels like a big family reunion when we all get together.
How would you describe The Sims community and what does it mean to you?
The Sims community is like a second family at this point. I feel like I grew up with so many people who all have the same interests as me and I feel really fortunate to be a part of it. I've met some of my best friends and Simmers from around the world through this community and I wouldn't trade them for anything.
What is your claim to fame as an influencer in The Sims community?
This show? No seriously, I don't even know if I can say that since I didn't get to the original challenges (check out both on the forums!) but my Asylum Challenge and Black Widow Challenge failed up a storm, so I would have to say that.
What do you want the audience to know about you?
I was at university when I started my YouTube channel. I also studied English. And I struggled to find a name. I couldn't really find one. The English Simmer was born because I am both English and studied English at university.
What is one life lesson you learned from playing The Sims?
Through playing The Sims, I've found that I'm quite a creative person. My imagination tends to run wild. And it also made me super comfortable with my sexuality. I went through an interview phase throughout my studies. And just playing The Sims and telling the stories I wanted to tell in my own personal space has really helped me open up to myself and just be more comfortable with who I am.
