Just wanted to say thanks for following me and that your little boy is so damn adorable! :)

No problem and thank you! (:

Yes, I got it! Thankfully it was just a pattern file and I only had a small amount of those. Once I made a new version of that world everything was fine.

Round Robin, here I come! :D

Alicia and Stella are enjoying some of the available goodies as well.

Most of the kids seem to be having a good time.  Barney looks like he's a first timer though.  Everyone made sure to keep a good distance so that they wouldn't go down with him.

The girls stayed up late telling each other silly stories and attempting tongue twisters.  At one point the were laughing so hard Dyani's father had to call down to them and remind the girls that they were supposed to be sleeping.  They in turn apologized then giggled and continued their fun in hushed tones.

"Yay!  The pizza's here!"  They all cheered as their supreme pizza was placed in the living room.  Dyani thanked her mother for everything while Stella enjoyed some chocolate chip cookies.  Alicia gave Aiyanna her thumbs up approval over the spread she had laid out for them.

Stormysims tagged me for this a while back and if I hadn't bookmarked it for later I probably would have completely forgotten. So... here we go.

1.) What does The Sims mean to you in your life?

In the beginning, what seems like a million years ago now, it was a way to kill time because I had a lot of it. I had just moved to Canada and didn't know anyone or trust going off alone (especially since I couldn't -and sadly still can't- speak french), so I hung out at home. Over time it became more of a creative pursuit, be it creating content or storytelling; I'll admit I miss the way it used to be sometimes. Thankfully I'm much too lazy to put a lot of effort into Sims3 so it's more relaxed.

2.) Describe your Sim self from favorite food all the way to what your Sim dream job would be.

Yui!sim is (painfully) clumsy, an animal lover, socially awkward, a night owl, and artistic. Her favorites are spaghetti, the color changes often but for now we'll go with purple, and music is definitely indie.

Is it sad that at 31 years old I am no closer to knowing my dream job than when I was graduating high school? *feels old* I have interest in a lot of things but I can't really say what would be ~the one~. I guess for the sake of this, we'll go with the Architectural Design profession.

3.) What is your least favorite thing about The Sims and why?

The fact that it can eat up several hours without even realizing? Does that count? xD

4.) Which do you find yourself doing more of, creating or playing?

Definitely playing. While I do still create a bit despite the extended website maintenance, I'm trying to keep it to a minimum at this point so I don't just make more work for myself. That said, Sims3 has always been more of a go-to for relaxed gaming while Sims2 is more like work, between creating and storytelling -even if it's been years I'm still working on it. I've been trying to make more of an effort to enjoy the games again.

5.) If you could add any kind of interactions/activity into The Sims, what would you do?

I know I should have a long list of things but I'm really blanking on them right now. I guess, at the very least, more interactions between younger and older siblings, especially babies/toddlers and children. It's strange to me that they can't hold them. I know a lot of kids want to be helpful to their parents and take pride in being the amazing older brother or sister. Granted, some of them are little shits and would rather terrorize them. But hey, why shouldn't that, to a degree, be part of it as well?

Umm... I don't think I'm going to tag anyone in particular for this, but anyone who is interested in answering these questions, have at it!
