'The Sims is a part of my identity'
Like so many millions of players, The Sims is a part of my identity. I was always known as the person who played The Sims and SimCity, and I still am today. I have been with the Sim franchises since I was around 6 years old. That's 11 years - which is a pretty long time!
I have been fortunate enough to have my own fansite, BeyondSims.com, and to be an active member in this flourishing community. Many unforgettable opportunities have come along thanks to the readers of the site, such as visits to EA to find out more about upcoming releases for site readers.
We're such a unique community. No other game community captures the same level of creativity. This is one of the many reasons why I adore Maxis games.
I'm excited to bring this magazine to you. It's been long in the works, gone through various changes but I hope you enjoy it.
Let's embark on our journey.
