* How Did You Find Simpixels & Graphics? Were you a member of Simpixels, in the old days, when we resided at Ezboard? I was a member when Fia and Lyran first started the forum, but gradually drifting away. When I recently learned that Kiri was still running the forum, I decided to re-join.
* Did, or do you still, play TS1? Played it from day 1 up to when S2 came out. Still have all the discs and cc, but do not play.
* What is/was the best part of TS1? The friendships across the world engendered by the game.
* What was your first (or most memorable) TS1 download? Golly, no way I'd remember the first, but the one d/l that changed the game for me was The Sim Enhancer.
* Do you play TS2? YES! Nearly every day.
* What Ex-packs do you have? Favourite? Have them all. Seasons is the one that brought the most to the game for me.
* What Stuff-packs do you have? Favourite? Have them all. Mansion & Gardens. Or maybe H&M.
* What is the best with TS2? Being able to customize it and play it *my* way and control as much or as little as I like (due more, perhaps, to modders than to EAxis).
* Is your game running smoothly? Yes. With all the cc I have, I do have to set my viewings to Medium (sob!), but the game plays fine.
* Will you play TS3? Tried the base game when it first game out. Hated it. Not the sims looks, but the inability to control the game my way.
* Do you play challenges? Rarely.
* Do you play with Pixella and/or Forum Hood? Not sure what this means.
* Do you play themed hoods? If so, please tell us more. No.
* Do you cheat? If so, in what ways? All the time! Have close to 400 hacks/fixes, plus I have no hesitation in adjusting sims' motives whenever necessary.
* Do you focus on building/decorating or on playing? I do both, depending on my mood and what's needed for my storyline.
* What decorating styles do you like? Mostly traditional contemporary -- more RL than EA cartoony stuff, like some of those ridiculous chairs and beds they have.
* Do you mainly play singles or families? Both, but mostly families.
* Do you have aliens/vampires/zombies etc in your game? NO, never. I have eradicated all the creature features from my game.
* Do you kill your simmies on purpose? Sometimes, such as when I roll an ROS for a sim to die.
* Have you ever dreamt about your Sims? Ummm, not really.
* Does your simming affect your real life in any strange or funny ways? When I was working, I once gave a slide presentation of my co-workers -- all senior executives for a major global firm! -- as sims. And I'm always seeing people, houses, furniture that look like things from the game.
* How much downloads do you have? Thousands! In game, I have
* What do you download the most? (skins, objects etc) Hairstyles and objects.
* Are your Downloads folderized, categorized etc? Yes - Objects by type, with subfolders for specific type, and subfolders for creators.
* Name your top 3 download sites. These days it's a lot of little blogs/journals, but I still check MTS and GOS on a regular basis.
* Do you create anything for your game? If so, what? I've done some recoloring -- hairs, signage, some furniture. I don't know how to mesh. I've created and redone several careers.
* Do you have a website, a Yahoo group or do you contribute to any site/group? If so, what site/group? Not really. I have shared some of my lots and careers at N99. But I don't consider myself a creator.
