later as well. Another thing that would be absolutely great in the Sims 4 is spiral stairs. The current setup for custom stairs is too “blocky” and it is not appealing to my eye. I heard about the Sims 5 multiplayer rumours and I am not sure how to feel about this. For me the magic thing about the Sims franchise is that you are solely responsible for how your game will look. I have a gut feeling that a lot of people would just come and interrupt your game or would just destroy your hard work. If the game limited the multiplayer option only to play it with your Origin friends, I would be more open to try it. Otherwise I would rather play alone. I would love the Sims 5 to be a better version of the current version – realistic graphics but with better in-game files ideas. I do not expect them to be looking straight up like the current CC we can get now, nonetheless there is plenty of room to improve overall game experience. My first builds appeared at The Sims Resource in 2016 but, to be frank, I had no idea what I was initially doing, and uploaded them just for fun. My first serious creations started to be available in February last year. I was really into lot building in early  2019, but since TSR had their themed Boho week in May  2019, I thought I would try making my first walls. Having a lot of experience in photography and knowing how to use Photoshop was very useful to start with it. Looking back on my first wall set and lots I would correct a lot of things, but hey – we all started somewhere, and learnt how to do it the way we are creating now. In this place I would love to say a big thank you to Danuta720 at TSR – she taught me a lot about the game and building in general that no one really has. I use this knowledge to this day while creating previews for my walls and floors. If I can advise anything to new CC creators and builders is to keep learning new ways to create, researching ideas, be open to new things and overall creating your own, individual style. 92 SIMPERIUM
