1. All the world’s you’ve played in, which one is your favorite?

I love Bridgeport for its atmosphere and also the wonderful variety of scenery. It is a bustling, cosmopolitan city, but five minutes from the city centre there are unspoiled beaches and tranquil fishing spots and waterfalls. It is the best of all worlds.

2. What kind of CC do you never have enough of?

Interesting community lots and neighbourhood clutter such as neon signs, billboards and graffiti. Anything to make my city look more gritty and realistic.

3. Favorite sim trait?

I like flirty sims. They're cute and fun.

4. Do you have your own OC? If you could meet one of yours, who would it be and why?

I have a couple. ;=) If I had to choose one to meet, it would be my beloved Jojo. I would like to give him a hug, poor baby. As long as he wasn't in one of his sulks. Then he could just GTFO.

5. Do you read others simblrs’ stories? If so, which one do you enjoy most?

Half the reason I only make 1 or 2 posts a day at the most is that most of my online time is taken up by reading other Sims stories. I enjoy stories from the Sims 2, 3 and sims 4 communities. There is an incredible variety in content and styles and it would be unfair to single out just one. I will admit though i do enjoy *realistic* stories focusing on human relationships the best, I find it a bit hard to relate to fantasy-based or supernatural stories, but as long as a plot is character driven I can usually get engaged.

6. Do you actually play the game or just take pictures of it?

I use the game mainly as a tool to illustrate my story, but there would be no story without gameplay. For example Anita started off as a townie, an NPC cop to be precise, but something about her caught my eye (or rather Harry's eye) and I had to make her a playable character. Her story evolved from there.

7. What is the first thing you think of when you hear Simblr?

You know, there was a lot of hate about the name Simblr when it was first coined 5 years ago. There probably still is. People said it was a dumb name and they hated it. I shunned it for a while because of the negative connotations (people were very vocal about their dislike) but then I decided to embrace it since I had never had a problem with it myself and put it on my blog. So when I hear the name Simblr I have a mixed emotional response. On on the one hand I'm proud to count myself as part of the community, but on the other there's still a bit of lingering embarrassment about labelling my blog with a name that I know a lot of the old guard find cringeworthy.

8. What would you say is your best feature?

I'm going to answer this on a purely superficial and physical level. My boobs. No question about it.

9. Do you get attached to your Sims?

My Sims are ridiculously important to me. I get scared about what would happen sometimes if my game became unplayable or if someone uninstalled it. When my Sims 2 game became corrupted beyond repair I felt lost for weeks. It was the same feeling as when I gave up smoking. Like I was missing a limb or a best friend. Just lost, dazed and unsure of what to do next. I know from that experience that I would eventually dust myself off and find some new characters to get invested in, maybe even try Sims 4, but the period of withdrawal would be intense.

10. Which other simblr would you like to play for a day?

I would play @simsgonebye's game in a heartbeat. Even for an hour would be thrilling. Her world, her aesthetic, her characters, her poses, her lots...gah. Pure perfection.

11. If you could travel anywhere right now, where would it be?

 Again, the most precious baby in all of simblr. ;p
