My name is Ally. I am 24 and a stay at home mum
to my 2 year old daughter and 1 year old son. I
live in rural Victoria, Australia. I am a new
YouTuber and a newbie streamer on Twitch.
I first played the Sims on my PS2 when I was
about 8 years old. The game had already been
out for several years but we were living in a bus at
the time and moving around constantly so we
came into the Sims a little later than some. My
siblings and I instantly fell in love with it and we
began purchasing game after game. Bustin' Out,
Sims 2, Sims 2 Pets, Sims 2 Castaway. Eventually
we were settled enough and could afford a laptop
so when we had access to the PC versions of the
Sims 2 we began collecting all of those packs as
well. It was the same when Sims 3 was released.
However, at that point I was a teenager and
stepped away from the game a bit. We played
Sims 3 on the Wii a little but I never really got into
that game. I eventually purchased an Xbox One S
after I graduated high school and got the Sims 4
on there. I fell in love all over again. I was
immediately reminded of why I love the games. I
just love being able to build houses and create
Sims. I love the creative aspects of the game and
the life simulation side. Telling stories and
creating these little lives. And the humour that
comes with it.
My favourite Sims game would be Sims 4 simply
because of how it looks. Don't get me wrong I am
a huge fan of the older games. They are
everything to me. But if I had to pick one to play
for the rest of my life it would be Sims 4. I play the
others when I miss them but I quickly get tired of
the graphics and really bad design choices. Game
play in those older games is way better but I do
spend more time building in game than in actual
game play. For me the best part of the Sims 4
would be the style and graphics. It is so much
26
easier to use and so much nicer to look at.
I love building and creating Sims. I can sit for hours
upon hours creating. Game play is harder for me. I
started my YouTube channel in the hopes of doing
builds and also to help inspire me to actually play
with Sims more. It has helped a fair bit.If I ever
stopped playing the Sims it would be either
because I no longer had the time or platform to do
so, or if it really just flopped. Lately the game has
been getting pretty dull. So I think if it became so
boring for me I would probably stop playing.
Maybe not forever, but a long break perhaps.
My main issue with the Sims 4 is that it's looks are
about all it has going for it. Game play is dull and it
falls short in so many ways. Babies are objects,
social interactions are empty and unfulfilling and
the worlds are so empty and plain. There isn't
much to do with your Sims. Visiting community lots
is boring most of the time. Relationships are
basically all the same and hollow. It just doesn't
have the substance that the previous games had.
Nor the sense of humour.
