SAINT
SIMS
Hello ! My name is Armand, I am 19 years
old, soon turning 20. I am french,
however, I live in London most of the time
because I study fashion design there.
I am not absolutely sure how long I have
been playing the Sims for but I would
guess since 2009 which is when I got my
first computer. I have been playing the
Sims 2, the Sims 3 and now the Sims 4. I
think I am still playing the Sims because
it’s a very safe space to be creative and
have fun without bothering about uni
work. I usually play by phases and tend to
play a lot for a few weeks or so and then
not play for a while. Now that I have an
Instagram account to share my creations I
would say I have been playing more
frequently but less intensely which i really
appreciate.
The Sims 3 is my personal favorite for 3
reasons. First I don’t remember Sims 2
that well, please forgive me! I do
remember the gameplay being great and
It was a time I used to play in life mode a
lot more than I do now. I feel like the
Sims 3 was a great upgrade on the sims 2
with better graphics without too much left
overs in terms of gameplay. Moreover the
main reason why I enjoy the Sims 3 so
much is the fact that I could play all over
town and edit the world, I remember
creating entire towns and really making
the most of that feature. Being able to
place lots anywhere was also amazing!
I love to play a good balance between life
mode and build mode but I really tend to
40
play construction almost exclusively. Each time I build
a lot I tell myself I will make it amazing in order to
want to play in it for a while but I tend to build such
big houses that I almost never finish them and start
new ones while finishing them.
If I were ever to quit playing The Sims, I guess it would
be because my gameplay is very time consuming
because it is very detailed and my bachelor takes a lot
of concentration and work so I think I wouldn’t have
the time to play the game how I think it deserves to be
played! But I hope I will still keep playing for a while
even if it means playing less sometimes!
The feature I love the most about The Sims 4 is the
graphics. By that I mean that I really like the sun
shadows inside, it really makes the visuals more
realistic and adds dimension to the furniture.
