CUBIZIM
Hey guys! My name is Devin Kelly. I’m 25, from
Tampa Florida. I’m a manager at a large financial
company down here. It’s the least creative job
possible which is why the Sims is my escape and
my creative outlet.
I’ve been playing since I was 6 years old, starting
with the original Sims. When me and my brother
got it as a gift, we spent the whole day remaking
our family and our home and I was hooked
immediately. I have always had a knack for
architecture. As a child I would draw blueprints
and floor plans, I would even lose points on tests
and homework for doodling houses on them.
Because I work so much nowadays, the Sims is
the only thing that can satisfy my urge to create
and I play it every single day. When I was younger
it was sometimes all I had to take me away for a
little when life was getting to be too much and I’ll
always be thankful to have that.
I think Sims 3 would have to be my favorite out of
the whole franchise, simply because the freedom
you had with building was awesome, even though
it could be kinda tricky.
When I do play I almost always am working on a
build, but I do actually play the game too. I
usually create sims based on people I know or
myself and put them into scenarios and lives that
are opposite the actual life we live.
I don’t use any mods right now, but I do have a
pretty thick CC folder. I love using custom
content. It’s an addiction and I shop for it online
more than I shop for real things. I steer towards a
more realistic feel to my game, at least as close
as I can get, I just enjoy it more than a super
animated look. So I use a lot of alpha but also
some MM.
When I start a build, I almost always have no idea
