gODDE S S Heyyo, my name is Nikyra Howard, I am 21 years old, and I currently work as a Warehouse Assistant. I reside in the one and only Motor City (woot woot)! Besides gaming, I love cheesecake, history, Astronomy, and my cat Jack. I've been a Simmer for a little over a year now. The diverse personalities and stories I've given my Sims is what keeps me coming back. I try to make them unique and give them depth, and that's interesting to me. So, I got really into The Sims when Sims Freeplay was kind of a big deal. The Sims 4 was released onto consoles finally, and that's when I got into it, so I am a little biased towards TS4, but I have respect for Freeplay, as well as The Sims 3. Even though I've never played TS3, I know enough to realize TS3 is superior in some ways. When it comes to Sims Gameplay, I like longer, drawn out gameplay. I form attachments to almost all the characters I create, I try to give each of them an interesting and deep personality, and I like to stick with them for a while. My characters build everything from the ground up, and they work for their success. Grinding for it feels more rewarding than using a cheat to get it. No shade to those that do, it's just what I prefer! platforms. There are some unique Simmers out there with interesting stories, amazing content, and beautiful characters. You know who you are. If I ever had to quit playing The Sims, it would definitely due to how much time I spend on it! I'm sure you know how dangerous The Sims can be, and I would quit to free up time so I could be more productive. What the Sims 4 needs for improvement is better stability, more bug fixes, and making toddlers capable of swimming again! In all seriousness, I think one of the biggest things I would do to improve the game is create more diverse content. There are still some communities not being represented well enough in The Sims, whether that's through hairstyles, fashion, or features. I think The Sims has done a good job so far, but there's definitely room for improvement in my opinion. What I like the most about The Sims 4 is the custom content. I love how creative the content creators are! It's impressive to see how much content there is, and how massive the community is within The Sims 4, across all 12 There were small but noticeable details in The Sims 3 that didn't make it into The Sims 4 that made the game feel more lifelike and alive, and I hate that they were cut. I also notice a few bugs that haven't been patched yet that I'd love to see gone. Also, why can't toddlers swim? Ridiculous. SIMPERIUM
