my earliest memory was playing ts1 on my family's beefy dell. my dad told me I'd stack books in the computer chair to reach, so I must've been four to six (2004-2006). my older sisters played ts1 and ts2 so I have memories of playing both at a young age!

the first family I ever remember playing was the grunts in ts2 strangetown. I have a specific memory of my mom frosting a cake in the kitchen to sweet child 'o mine by guns 'n roses while I played (2007-2008). there's certain songs that I associate with ts2 because of childhood memories like that and I'm happy to have them.

I've been thinking about this for a while, but @criquette-was-here's 'hood deco cars as defaults for the drivable cars. my sims don't use cars because I don't like that they don't match, but it would make my whole year if someone managed to do that!

I think it would've been "independent" because I always wanted to just play in my own little world surrounded by my toys and comfort movies. some things don't change!

my guess is in the thousands. I've been playing for over 20 years across several iterations with lots of gaps in time. the sims 2 has my heart, though, and I'd say on a daily basis I spend anywhere from an hour to like... ten. It depends! one of my favorite things to do is put on a movie on the side of my screen while I do whatever. lately I've been watching d'angelo wallace's streams, but before that I was in a documentary kick.

my nickname has been bug since I was a kid. my hometown on lake erie experiences mayfly season twice a year, and I have never handled it well. I got swarmed a few years ago. many people in my life still call me bug, and it fits perfectly in place of "bob" in "plumbob". tada!

I'm a regular at 7 brew and my order is a matcha with cereal milk syrup + banana syrup + oat milk + cold foam (1/2 sweet)!

I often rewatch the lotr trilogy (extended editions onlyyy), the twilight series, what we do in the shadows, and I regularlyyy put on midnight mass (I now realize that three of these... are about vampires). my favorite book is the ritual by adam neville and I'll put on the 2017 movie soundtrack while I edit sometimes. I recently read the fisherman by john langen and it was captivating. :-)

"for sure" and it's without a doubt haddock bay's anthemmm. In 2025 I listened to it on repeat for hours while building often so it's very special to me. I love hayden and her work so it's no surprise. here's the playlist I send to friends / people I meet. :-)

It's shocking to absolutely no one who knows me that it's the sims 2. I also cycle between various crafts, animal crossing, and other things... I can't recall what those are rn because they're not in my rotation. I've gotten better about pacing myself this year with my hyperfixations / special interests so I can enjoy them for longer without getting sick of them. I dopamine seek for suuure and while that's okay, pacing is important.

I burn incense daily and also air out the house at the same time. I've been able to open the windows lately since it's been warming up! I love fresh air and smelly-goods. usually I burn nag champa or californian white sage, but lately my favorite is wildflower tea.

I've always twirled my hair, and both of my parents did/do. I haven't had long hair since I was eleven, but I'm growing out my mullet into longgg mullet. currently my hair is faded green and is just brushing my shoulders and it's really comforting to twirl and play with. :-)

I have no idea... neither? I'm a mid-day kind of person. I don't have a specific routine that I keep to. I exist around my special interest(s) and fit everything else in around that. I take care of things and am responsible, buuut I kind of just float about.

I'm disabled and have been unemployed since november. my last job was a kennel tech at an animal hospital in boarding. I love pets, but it was too stressful for me. I'm neurodivergent and pets are much easier for me to handle than people (more specifically... management). I'm going to college full-time in the fall for a fine arts concentration degree. my first semester's classes will be english, fundamentals of drawing, fundamentals of 2D, and a photography class. If I had to pick an ideal profession I'd say tattoo artist, but I mostly want to make youtube videos around the sims 2 for fun. :-)

anyone who wants to participate!!! ✨️

This is my grandma's house (wip), and today is her 90th birthday party. I'll be over there all day. This has been so cosy to build, and it's slowly being decorated with a mix of past and present. My grandparents used to have blue carpet across the entire house, but now just the bathroom carpet remains (bathroom carpet?!). As a kid, I used to play Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo on a little box TV in the kitchen, while eating brown sugar & cinnamon off-brand poptarts every Sunday. Then my grandpa would let me use his computer to play The Sims 3, and he'd always be a goof with me. My grandpa is the reason that I love video games the way that I do. I miss him.

Bonus: my sleepy girl, Sen! She loves my bookshelf. I made that spot just for the cats. 🐾
