Simmingislife's questions:

1. is there anything special you like to have around you like food, drink, certain music playing while you play?

Dr. Pepper!  I like playing music while I play, but I'm often playing late at night when everyone else in the house is asleep, so then I have to have everything on silent. 

2. whats your favorite type of sim to play? vanilla? vampire? berry?

I like all types, but I usually play vanilla sims with elf ears.  Mostly because I have a hard time thinking up good names for berry sims..haha.

3. do you like to play a sim family just for fun besides any challenges you might be playing?

I have tried doing that several times, but I always lose interest if I'm not sharing on tumblr or wordpress, so all the families I play now are associated with some form of challenge.

4. what is your favorite skill for your sims to learn?

I think it's awesome when my sims are good dancers, and I love the photography skill, too.

5. whats the one item that all of your sims home’s must have?

I don't know if it counts as one item, but...clutter! I feel like their houses look so sterile without some clutter. :)

6. what’s the one expansion or stuff pack that you absolutly can’t play with out and why?

I love all of them for different reasons, but probably Pets.

7. what is it about supernatural that your looking forward to the least/most?

Faeries!  Can't wait!

8. where’s your favorite place to go looking for cc and what do you look for the most?

Tumblr and ms3b.  I have a weakness for hair, poses, and interior decorating stuffs.

9.  do you feel that the sims franchise is missing or has ever been missing something in the game that you’d really love to have in there?

I wish sim-moms could nurse their babies. I downloaded a mod for it that I use, which is nice, but it would be awesome if EA would not imply that it is something to be ashamed of by not including it as an option in the game.

10.  what is it about the sims that keeps you playing?

With all the challenges out there, there's always something new to do and explore with the game.  I love sim and pet genetics, and watching how they develop over generations.

11. how did you find/get into the sims to begin with?

It was so long ago now I don't even remember.  I started with Sims 1, and was hooked4lyfe!

simmogen's questions:

1) if you could make one celebrity into a Sim, who would it be?

I'd really love to be able to make an accurate David Tennant or Robert Downey Jr.  I'm just really bad at making sims look like real people.

2) favourite game to play as a kid?

If we're talking video games, I loved Joust on the Atari, and then when Nintendo came out with Super Mario Brothers, I was over the moon.  That probably ages me a lot.  My all-time favorite growing up was Donkey Kong Country on the Nintendo 64.

3) and now your favourite game to play as an adult? (or near that :D)

Sims 3, of course. ^^

4) what continents have you been on?

Just North America.

5) what’s a Sim glitch that always makes you laugh/rage?

I don't know if it's a glitch, but I always laugh when the grim reaper decides to stay and hang out after a reaping. XD

For the rage part, it's when one of my mods or cc is causing problems in my game and I have no idea which one.

6) most irrational annoyance?

When people say acrosT instead of just across.  >.>

7) favourite smoothie/milkshake?

Chocolate malt.

8) favourite Simlish word?

Nooboo.

9) you have to watch only one film for the rest of your life, what is it?

Gah, um...the Avengers.

10) what’s the worst meal you’ve ever endured?

Boiled zucchini.  D:

11) favourite part of simblr?

Either Renaissance(?) sim or Arc Builder - is that what it's called its that wish to adopt 2 of kinds of animals -- or the Cat lady one, just cause.

2) If you could have only one type of cc (mods aside), what would it be and why?

HAIR.

Why?

Because they're all pretty. I could work around EA's clothing and such but EA hair? I can't. My sims can't go on without custom hairs in my game.

3) How did you discover CC?

Through simblr. I mean Kelly had introduced me to NRAAs mods but custom content were with simblr.

4) What is your favorite interaction from each life stage?

Toddler: Attack with Claw or dog/cat pouncing them.

Children: I may say the costume or the treehouse even though I barely interact with those.

Teen: Pranks, idk what else... does prom count?

YA/Adult: I think there's so much to choose from! Watch the stars will be one.. um idk I guess depends on traits too.

Elder: I love it when they show off their grandchildren and I like to once in a while make them harass the world.

5) What is your least favorite interaction overall?

I'm not a mean person so I would say anything under that category.

6) What is your favorite EA sim?

I may have to say the Langeraks or the Goths.

7) What is your least favorite EA world and why?

I think out of all the worlds from EA, Lunar Lakes may be my least... I tested it once and never went back. I guess the style/world is just not my thing? I mean its creative and such but it's just not the world I'd use.

8) Have you ever killed a sim in TS3 for fun?  If so, why and how?

YES. Why? I was upset at someone so I killed a few sims to take some anger off... I may or may not have pretended I just killed them. How? 3 ways; drowning, starvation and fire. It was a lot of fun :3

9) What is your favorite thing to do in TS3 when it comes to actual gameplay?

Hmmm... idk if they have careers that are professions, its a lot of fun to work on their skills/job experience. Although it takes a lot of free time for me to make them do something else.

10) How does documenting your gameplay enhance your gaming experience?

I think I can speak for a lot of people, but for me when I play and post it on tumblr I feel like people get to see what this legacy looks like. It may get them ideas they may or may not like. It's just fun to see how they respond to it, whether I'm doing something right or not. It's all a persons preference.

11) In TS3, what would be the traits of your ideal partner?

Okay.. traits: Animal Lover, Friendly, Handy, Genius and Neat.

My questions for people I tag:

1. Who's your favorite sim ever made?

2. Which animal do you prefer to play with and why?

3. Do you prefer your Custom Content in .package form or .sims3pack?

4. Are CCs necessary for your to enjoy your game?

5. An interaction(s) you miss from Sims 2.

6. If you could change anything from any Sims 3 EP what would it be?

7. Something you love about Sims 3 that Sims 1 and Sims 2 dont. Do not include graphics, cause I know that's obvious.

8. Do you have a favorite legacy/story?

9. How do you play your game, do you have a story in mind or do you just go along with whatever's going on?

10. Do you ever use a trait for a lot of your sims? (Example: For me I seem to use Good, Genius and Artistic a lot for my sims...)

11. If you could be a sim one day what would you do and who would you be?
