Hi, my name is Sydney, and I am eighteen years
old, turning nineteen in February. I am currently
in my last year of high school. Wish me luck on my
finals. I don't really know where I want to end up
in five or ten years, but I hope I enjoy it. I have a
brown and black corgi named Bear. I am currently
trying to make her in the Sims because I just got
Sims 4 Cats and Dogs. I like to play volleyball,
binge-watch everything, push myself out of the
antisocial bubble I live in, and of course play the
Sims.
I like to think of myself as an on and off Simmer. I
started playing the Sims Freeplay on my iPad. I
loved creating the characters and doing the
challenges that came with the app. I remember
having to wait a whole day for the "stork" to drop
the baby in the crib. Now, I can't imagine the Sims
without a risky woohoo. I also remember when I
couldn't play all the features because they cost
additional money. I knew my parents would never
buy me anything that got me virtual things. I think
that's why I stopped playing for about a year.
Then, a Clare Siobhan dream house series video
was recommended to me on YouTube. My life
kind of changed after watching it. I remember
staying up late to watch about 200 thirty minute
videos, just so I could understand the characters
and the plot of the most recent ones. It was so
entertaining that these virtual people were my
favorite reality TV show. It brought back
memories of my Sims Freeplay days. The Sims 4
looked so cool to me. I started watching more
creators and eventually brought the game when it
was on sale for $4.99. I had no idea how to play,
no packs, and no idea what to do. I watched so
many Sims videos, I felt like a pro. I eventually
learned controls, I'm still learning, but it was love
at first save file. I keep playing this game because
the Sims I create are special and unique to me. I
love who they are. I love the crazy things they do
