Both.

Just one custom neighbourhood called Magnolia Falls.

Do you prefer to make your own Sims or play with the pre-made ones or a little of both?

How many playable sims do you have in your favorite/most played hood?
30-ish.

What is your favorite family/sim to play(cutsom or premade)?
The Huber family (custom). I wasn’t really interested in them at first but after they produced four children (one set of twin girls, two boys) that have such beautiful combinations of features from their parents and each having very distinctive personalities, they have grown to be my favourite family

How many generations have you gotten in your game?
3

Do you play sims realistically or in time periods, fantasy settings, celebrity themed, characters from established shows/fandoms, or soap opera scenarios, etc?

Mac and cheese

Comfort. I’m probably the only one that likes the environment bar lol. One of the first things that I do when I move in a family is to have one Sim check out every room in the house. I like to know if my Sims like the new ‘habitat’ that I built them. Hehe.

The butler always disturbing the baby and ignoring other chores.

Have your Sims suffered from glitches? Which was the worst?
When I tried to delete strays in Simpe. All my strays ended up with their front legs tucked in like chicken wings and were gliding all over the place. It creeped me out so much that I had to delete the entire neighbourhood.

University. It’s a favorite but not essential.. hmm.

The News channel. The segment where UFOs are destroying SimCity is so funny!

Do you prefer playing for simming or to build lots?
Both. I'm starting to get better at building. Yay me.

How many neighborhoods do you play and what are their names?
Wincheshire is my custom made one. The building of that is going slowly. And I have one just simply named "Challenge Hood" for when I want to test challenges that I may want to play. I also play Pleasantview and Strangetown occasionally. I dislike Veronaville.

Do you prefer to make your own Sims or play with the pre-made ones or a little of both?
I like to make my own, unless I'm trying to make a celebrity, then I use a custom. My sims are terrible,

How many playable sims do you have in your favorite/most played hood?
No idea, don't ask me these difficult questions!

What is your favorite family/sim to play(cutsom or premade)?
The Winchesackles family. They're my legacy family, and I love each and every one of them, even the spares.

How many generations have you gotten in your game?

Chef salad, so they don't burn the house down.

If you could be a sim, what would your aspiration be?
Erm, pleasure

Environment. It's pointless. For me anyway.

The most annoying thing your sims do: Sit on that exercise bike ALL DAY LONG. And then nearly die.

They've disappeared before. And the toddlers used to float a lot. But that's it I think.

The Cooking channel.

Favorite Sim music station?
I don't have one, I turned the sound for the stereo off

Do you prefer playing for simming or to build lots?

I like doing both; which I prefer varies depending on my mood. I probably prefer simming to building, though.

How many neighborhoods do you play and what are their names?

One, though it's run through a few iterations. The basic name for the 'hood is Otherworld. I restarted it as New Otherworld when I learned about clean templates and things like not deleting sims from the Sim Bin; recently, I've decided to make an Ultimate Otherworld because I want to restart the 'hood with zero townies (and try out some new genetics while I'm at it.) I played New Otherworld for about 3-4 years; I'm in the process of building Ultimate Otherworld, and haven't yet created any sims for it yet.

Do you prefer to make your own Sims or play with the pre-made ones or a little of both?

Custom sims all the way. I NEVER use pre-made sims. They're ugly and boring.


How many playable sims do you have in your favorite/most played hood?


New Otherworld has about 1000 sims, spread out over 5 generations, but it was bloated by the addition of all those stupid AL social groups (part of the reason I decided to build Ultimate Otherworld.)

What is your favorite family/sim to play (custom or premade)?


I love playing my self-sim and her family; I also love playing some of my Harry Potter families. My sim-Lupin and sim-Tonks were great to play; they had six adorable children.

How many generations have you gotten in your game?

As I said, 5 in New Otherworld. But I play a massive, full neighborhood, rotating through dozens of families.

Do you play sims realistically or in time periods, fantasy settings, celebrity themed, characters from established shows/fandoms, or soap opera scenarios, etc?

I play a combination of sims from various sci-fi/fantasy fandoms: Harry Potter, LJ Smith's novels, Animorphs, and some characters from things I've written, along with my self-sim and sims of some of my college friends.

Custom content folder size?
3.6 GB.

Favorite kind of custom download (ie, hair, clothes, objects)?

You mean you're going to make me pick?

I love custom hair. I have a disproportionate amount of clothing for adult females. I also have a disproportionate number of paintings and bedding.

Some of my favorite things are individual pieces of content: some LOTR and HP wall hangings, a brass bed, some quilted beddings all immediately come to mind. I don't think I could play without the custom skins and eyes that make my sims pretty.

Use hacks? What's your favorite?

Yes. A ton. My favorites, aside from the clean templates and the things that enable me to play the game without having to worry about a BFBVFS (MATY's director's cut), are definitely creature hacks: the nopersonalitychange hack for werewolves and the no name change/skin change for witches in particular.

Edit: Oh, and I forgot this, because it's so essential - TwoJeffs' Age Duration
Hack, the one that extends the adult lifespan and shortens elders accordingly.


What meal do you like to make your sims eat the most?


Pancakes. Don't know why.

Also chef salad, because they can't burn it.

If you could be a sim, what would your aspiration be?

Knowledge. (In-game, I'm knowledge, with family as my secondary aspiration.)

If you could obliterate a need bar from the game, which one would go?

I don't know! Comfort, methinks.

The most annoying thing your sims do

Pee themselves because they're waving at me complaining they need to pee. (And free will is on, gosh darn it!)


Have your Sims suffered from glitches? Which was the worst?


The original Otherworld imploded when I deleted a sim from the Sim Bin. That was before I knew about backups (or before I knew much about sims in general), and it was a very, very sad day. I started having problems with deleted SWAFs and such.

Your above all favorite expansion (one):

This is a hard one. Freetime, Seasons, and NL were probably best for overall gameplay, but I love witches in AL. (Even Pets is good for werewolves!) BV and OFB add the least to my gameplay.


Favorite Sim television channel?


The cooking show that ends in fiery death.

Favorite Sim music station?

College rock. I actually found the music of Charlotte Martin through Sims 2. (I now own all her albums, thanks to the fact that "Beautiful Life" was pretty enough in Simlish that I wanted to find the song in RL.)

Favorite Sim interaction?

I don't know. Babies cuddling pets are pretty cute.

Favorite Sim videos/series on Youtube?

None. Never watched one.

Do you prefer playing for simming or to build lots?
Simming. I get easily bored when it comes to build lots, and I rarely like the results XD

How many neighborhoods do you play and what are their names?
Three: Riverblossom Hills, Pleasantview and a custom one I'm making now, Driftwoods (named after the neighborhood template... I have lots of fantasy when it comes to names, I know )

Do you prefer to make your own Sims or play with the pre-made ones or a little of both?
Customs sims!!! I love having my own stories!

How many playable sims do you have in your favorite/most played hood?
Around 20, I think... don't remember, in effect.

What is your favorite family/sim to play(cutsom or premade)?
My version of Blackie Lawless! I love looking at his faces

How many generations have you gotten in your game?
2 .____.

Do you play sims realistically or in time periods, fantasy settings, celebrity themed, characters from established shows/fandoms, or soap opera scenarios, etc?
I usually go for a realistic gameplay... sometimes I throw a rockstar or an actor in my game and try to make him as similar as the 'real one' as it's possible, but I usually end up making my own stories for him one thing is for sure, I'm totally unable to play the happy little family, unless I REALLY love the sim I'm using.

Custom content folder size (unless you don't use it:P)?
662 MB

Favorite kind of custom download (ie, hair, clothes, objects)?
Hair and clothes!

Use hacks? What's your favorite?
I only have a custom pose box I'm still trying to learn to use XD

What meal do you like to make your sims eat the most?
Macaroni with cheese (or whatever it's called in the english version)

If you could be a sim, what would your aspiration be?
Knowledge

If you could obliterate a need bar from the game, which one would go?
Comfort. Or environment.

The most annoying thing your sims do: ignoring things I tell 'em to do. Especially when they have to take care of babies.

Have your Sims suffered from glitches? Which was the worst?
More than glitches, it was just me using cheats the wrong way. Like using 'stretchskeleton OFF', with the result that my poor sim was looking like a dismembered smiling corpse (not cool), or using 'moveobjects on' to move a sim away while he was playing videogames... and then hitting 'play' again, with the result that his arms started moving behind his back.

Your above all favorite expansion (one):
I think University. Music instruments were the best *_____*

Favorite Sim television channel?
I usually make them watch horror movies .____.

Favorite Sim music station?
I usually listen to my own music when I play The Sims, so I can't really tell .____.

Favorite Sim interaction?
Sims teaching rhymes to toddlers *_____* I love the little song they sing XD (I discovered it one of the few days I wasn't listening to my own music while playing, lol)

Favorite Sim videos/series on Youtube?
A lot. There's a guy/girl on Youtube making some kick ass videos for Lady Gaga's songs, he/she reproduces the vids exactly like the original ones... I love those! Hunters Legacy, an italian series posted on Megavideo was one of my favourites, too. Pity it never finished, though

Building. I have two, as the Maxis designed houses are cramped, oddly partitioned, and basically aesthetically unpleasant.

1 Neighborhood, named Innsmouth.

Make my own Sims, as most of the Maxis created ones are butt-ugly.

I have about 30 Sims in Innsmouth.

My favorite Sim is one I made to be the local "hottie"...she turned out really well.

So far, only 2 generations in the current game.

I play my Sims as everyday, ordinary people.

My custom folder is bloody huge (Thank you, MTS!)

My favorite downloads are architectural objects, clothing, and anything that will improve a Sim's appearance.

I tend to shy away from hacks.

Favorite Meal is chef's salad...no fire risk, and they don't get fat as quickly.

If I were a Sim, my aspiration would be knowledge.

The need bar that needs to go is environment. It serves no real purpose except to make you spend tons of simoleons on useless crap.

The most annoying habit my sims have is standing around throwing tantrums because a three-inch high garden border prevents them from trimming a hedge.

No glitches so far....

Favorite expansion was/is Mansion and Garden stuff.

No favorite tv channel.

I can tolerate any of the Sims' radio stations EXCEPT that damned "Salsa" crap...I have to listen to that stuff at max volume every weekend from my neighbors' houses, I don't need it in game. I even went so far as to delete that folder.

Favorite interaction? Does spying on the neighbors with the telescope count? The look on their faces is priceless...

You tube is a waste of bandwidth.

Do you prefer playing for simming or to build lots?
Both actually.

How many neighborhoods do you play and what are their names?

I play with one mostly until I get bored of it and move to another. It's called Keldridge. Or I'll move to another if I want to use and existing sim from another neighborhood and twist their lives up a little differently.

Do you prefer to make your own Sims or play with the pre-made ones or a little of both?
Custom sims. I can't stand how ugly some of the Maxis ones are. There are few I can handle, but they go mostly as friends to my customs.

How many playable sims do you have in your favorite/most played hood?
Err.. like 50 or so maybe.

What is your favorite family/sim to play(cutsom or premade)?
My custom family, The Zakii's.

How many generations have you gotten in your game?
2, I'm usually bored with a sim once they've gotten to their elder stage. =\

Do you play sims realistically or in time periods, fantasy settings, celebrity themed, characters from established shows/fandoms, or soap opera scenarios, etc?
A lot of my sims are based off of real people or characters I've made up for RP purposes so it's a combination of real life and fandoms with a little drama thrown in from time to time.

Custom content folder size (unless you don't use it:P)?
I just wiped mine completely since my game started crashing when I went into my decorations folder in-game. =\ Still not sure what was causing it since I hadn't downloaded anything new. I've recovered 200 of 1,500 files so far. Working on it slowly.

Favorite kind of custom download (ie, hair, clothes, objects)?
Objects and Clothes

Use hacks? What's your favorite?
Yes, I'd have to say the one that keeps the social worker away. Pu-leez my kid sims should be playing not doing homework! Though the quicker homework hack is happily being applied too.

What meal do you like to make your sims eat the most?
Toaster Pastries >.<

If you could be a sim, what would your aspiration be?
Family Oriented

If you could obliterate a need bar from the game, which one would go?
Environment

The most annoying thing your sims do:
My male sims like to go for the fridge and make horrible breakfast's for themselves when they can't cook for crap and the wife was already making food for everyone. Then I have to cancel it, toss the food out that they left on the floor and keep them occupied or they'll go back for the fridge again.

Have your Sims suffered from glitches? Which was the worst?
I made a male sim with a daughter. One day his friend comes over out of nowhere. I let him in and proceeded to make my sim shower since he needed it. The friend began to play and take care of the baby while my sims was occupied. They watched a little TV for a while and when it was late enough that the friend needed to go home, he picked up the baby girl and walked off with her. Her picture disappeared from the bar and she was just gone. I seriously looked at my screen wide-eyed and open mouthed and said 'my baby was kidnapped.' Had my sim call the police but I just got fined for calling without an emergency. Apparently kidnappings in Simville aren't important. >.>

Your above all favorite expansion (one):
Open for Business and Pets

Favorite Sim television channel?
Cooking

Favorite Sim music station?
Metal because that's what folder I throw all my music into so when my sims inevitably turn on the stereo and leave it on all bloody day I can at least listen to something with words I understand.

Favorite Sim interaction?
Insult, it's funny to make sims cry.

Favorite Sim videos/series on Youtube?
Don't really look for other people's sim stuff, especially on Youtube but I did find a real funny re-enactment of Micheal Jackson's Thriller as a tribute shortly after he died.
