About The Sims 5, I'm excited that multiplayer
may finally become a reality, but not sure how I
feel about it being cloud-based. I hope that the
CAS system will be more dynamic than ever, the
Sims will be even more realistic, while
maintaining their own unique look, and I expect
TS5 to bring us some new and fresh dynamics,
while reaching an even more diverse audience.
What made me begin playing challenges was
sheer curiosity. I wanted to challenge myself,
and see if I can really make it. I'm dedicated to
finishing this. I'm also curious to see how the
genetics will play out, and to me, that unknown
is just exciting. I've been doing the challenge
since last December. I would be further ahead,
but I wanted to get Azra and Makoa (my "Eve"
and Adam", as I refer them sometimes) set up
first before I officially kicked it off. Once they got
to a good point in their lives financially, I really
began it. I started documenting mainly to show
my friends who were interested in their stories. I
also wanted to remember everything that I went
through with them, as I know this would take a
while! I'm sentimental like that.
I took to Instagram on February 8th, so not
super long. I told a few friends about my Sims,
and I told one that I was considering starting an
Instagram to make it easier for him and a few
SIMPERIUM
others to follow along, and he implored me! I
started it, and boom. I started this for fun, and
that's all it'll ever be.
My goal is simply to see where this family leads
me. I'm letting them guide me. I want to be able
to look back on the generations once I'm
complete, and see what the family has become
and what it's left behind. I want my friends to
follow along with me, and if anyone else gets
enjoyment out of my family and I, then you're
welcome to join us on that ride.
Each character radiates something, so I let them
"tell me" how they'll be. With the exception of my
two starting Sims, I randomize their traits, and
take it from there. If it feels right for them, then
that's where I go. I really try to let my Sims be
their own Sim, with some help from me, of
course. I take into account their upbringing, their
traits, etc., and that determines what type of life
they'll lead, who they end up with, their careers,
the relationship they have with their children,
and so on. I want their lives to be dynamic, deep,
and interesting, and trying to figure that out is
exciting. They inspire me, basically. Is that weird
to say?
Azra Oksana was the first Sim I created out of
this family, but she wasn't meant to be an Eve to
