1. how big is your mods folder? I’m not on my gaming computer at the moment but last I remember it was over 21 gigs...or was that 24...
2. how would you describe your style? I’m kind of all over the place but I definitely tend to design lots with modern design, warehouse/factory/industrial, abandoned, Asian-inspired, Southwest or Mexican-style, or just whatever I happen to be in the mood for. And most of the time I build cluttery lots but occasionally I will try to be minimalist.
3. what is your favorite challenge? I haven’t really done any TS4 challenges but I did a few legacies in TS2. I don’t actually play much in TS4 besides building and designing lots.
4. do you make cc? if so, what kind? I haven’t learned to make anything in TS4 yet but in TS2 (and TS1!!) I mostly did clothing and skin recolors as well as floors and wallpapers.
5. what type of cc do you hoard? From my favorite CC creators mostly! The second I see they have new goodies up I have to grab them immediately.
6. what default eyes and skin do you use? TBH I don’t use any or have any CAS CC in TS4. I had a TON in TS2 but I find all that takes up too much space and again I never really actually play the game.
7. how many urls have you had, and what are the meanings behind them? I haven’t had my own website in ages and it was not Sims-related but art-related. I’ve definitely used many usernames in the Sims community though including darkambiance, sushiphobia (whyyy did I make that one, I actually looove sushi), beg2differ (of course!), and maybe a few others.
8. who is your favorite gameplay blog? Hmm, I don’t really follow too many gameplay blogs. I’m mainly here on tumblr to find more CC.
9. who is your favorite storytelling blog? Same as previous.
10. who is your favorite cc creator? I’d definitely consider @novvvas as one of my many faves!
11. how do you edit your photos? I use ReShade (don’t ask me which one, I don’t remember!) and super old-school Adobe Photoshop CS3.
12. what is the last screenshot you took? Of a warehouse-style lot I’m building.
13. what do you do when you are unmotivated? To build? I just live my life. I work not-quite 50 hours a week so if I’m not building it’s because I’m either working nights or recovering from working nights.
14. who is your current favorite sim? I don’t really have one.
15. who is your current favorite sim that is not by you? See previous.
16. recreate someone else’s sim in your style. Don’t really play the game for that.
17. do you talk about sims with people in real life? Tbh if I’m good friends with someone I do talk about it and some of my friends IRL play as well.
18. how many of the packs do you own? All except Star Wars, Paranormal, Snowy Escape, and Spooky Stuff.
19. how many posts do you have on your blog currently? 14 if I”m counting correctly.
20. how many drafts do you have on your blog currently? None. If I want to post something I do. If I don’t, I don’t start to write one.
21. how many posts are in your queue currently? None. I don’t know how to use that feature yet.
22. have you ever moved blogs? Outside of the Sims world, yup. I do still have a Sims-related Livejournal but I haven’t updated it in years.
23. are you in any sims related discord servers? TBH I’m a bit older than most of you all so I haven’t even been on Discord.
24. what are your thoughts on the most recent pack? (paranormal). Eh. I’m not into paranormal stuff so I doubt I’d ever be buying that.
25. how many hours have you played sims? More than I care to think about considering I’ve been a Simmer since TS1 came out.
26. if you play gameplay, do you play with mods? I do have a couple mods installed but I don’t remember which ones because I’m on my work computer.
27. what’s the farthest you’ve gotten in a challenge? In a TS2 legacy I believe I got to about 4 generations before I got bored with it. All I know is you were supposed to make a completely normal human Sim and a horrifically ugly alien Sim and see how many generations it took before you had a beautiful sim again. Or something like that. I had some that looked okay but they all had some weird characteristics or they looked normal but had like blue skin or something.
