    I'm missing a lot of packs and I can't find any game cards anywhere. The three I'm hoping for the most are Perfect Patio, Backyard and Kid's Room.

    I think my favourite expansion has to be a tie in with Sims 2 Pets and Sims 4 City Living.

    Sims 2 Pets was really graphically impressing for me at the time and I was amazed at how the dog's fur looked. I also loved how soft the pets looked overall haha, I also remember there being a crazy cat lady Sim. She was an elder and literally had way too many cats, the pets were so adorable in the expansion and there were so many features and new things to do. The warewolves were also a welcome edition as you could also literally befriend wolfs which in all honestly was really cool.

    When it comes to Sim 4 City Living, I really think the atmosphere makes the expansion stand out. I feel like there is so much happening around my Sims apartment and I feel like I am a part of the game more than I did with the base game itself. I like also being able to go downstairs and walk around meeting my neighbours without the loading screen, I think I also especially love when my Sim does indoor activities like watch the TV and outside my window I can see the alive statue and people eating at the tables which just shows the world is progressing more than ever before. The apartment traits only add to the fun, there are so many traits for the apartment that I actually don't know what to choose because I want to try all of the apartment traits :x currently I am playing with the haunted and the breeze trait because my Sim is the athletic type. Which is so far my favourite aspiration, I really enjoy the feature of having energy drinks and the way my Sim is way more active and ready for adventure.

    The festivals really bring different Sims together through and it makes the game so much more interesting, the first festival I went to was geekcon at first I was really confused about what was happening but I feel like it was designed in a way to help people learn what to do quickly, so in no time I was able to enjoy the festival to the fullest. I am currently collecting snow globes and I am placing them above my fireplace, I am also collecting posters from the neighbourhood I am not sure if I want to hang them yet or if I will decide to sell them on the flea market.

    I was pleasently surprised to see the amount of foreign names in the City Living expansion, I have seen a huge amount of Japanese names and when it comes to the festivals (like the romance festival) you can see the amount of research the development team at Maxis put into making the festivals accurate. Sakura tea is indeed a tea that exists in Japan, it isn't commonly heard of in the West so the accuracy is very welcomed into the game and made it all the much better. I think the feature of your Sims learning to use the chopsticks is funny and awesome because it is so true and realistic no one sits at a table knowing how to use chopsticks in the West (going from the perspective that the game is not Japanese).

    I want to attach a photo of the view from my apartment but unfortunately I am a new member and cannot post links so there is no way for me to show it.

    When it comes to things I have done in the Sims well when I first started playing the Sims I done some crazy things like creating a family with too many toddlers, this of course caused huge issues in the game haha as it was pretty much unbereable for the Sims.

    I think the funniest thing I remember in The Sims series is the amount of times Sims had to run to the bathroom in the Sims 2, it was like they all needed to live in the bathroom.

    Currently I am playing only with one Sim in the Sims 4 (Skylar Lang), she is a young adult and I want to complete all aspirations in the game and skills to the full level. I also want her to make a career out of writing songs and licensing them. However currently she is working on her athletic aspiration and singing going to the karaoke to sing often. She sometimes sings in duets and it is questionable as the Sims she dueted with once was not such a good singer. She isn't currently looking for love and is mostly just being a young adult, flirting with Sims but it never getting to a relationship stage. However she completely failed on the romance festival (everyone denied her when it came to romantic actions) and when she finally got accepted when it came to actions like "flirt" the Sim she was flirty with was married so she backed out.
    I think a funny event in the game that I have encountered is the haunted trait. I was sure that my Sim will be living in fear of a ghost/ghosts, I however came to find that she befriended this elderly ghost named Frank. So in a summary I am living with a friendly ghost in the house.

    Skylar Lang has an obsession with basketball through, most of the time when I go to the gym with her she starts going to the basketball court, and sometimes when I need her to do another sports activity she does it for a bit, stops and proceeds to fo to the basketball court again. Then she comes back embarrassed because someone seen her dreaming big haha.

    I want to add photos to my entry, I made my entry before the deadline, not sure if the deadline is on yet but if it is please ignore my photos and just keep my original entry made before the deadline!
    This is my current Sim that I am playing with

    My Sim even with the first photo, can be happy too!

    I am sorry for the lack of amazing photos :x I just made her and I wanted to get some photos before the deadline ^^ I didn't want to be late and I am not currently playing so I can't make more screenshots :x gotta eat dinner and sleep and stop simming sometimes haha!

    Her traits are: Active, Unflirty and Loving Outdoors.
    I have no idea why I have put every trait in capitals, probably because it is written that way in the game.
    Her name is Elena Mungbean (my very good friend has come up with her surname xd it sounds nice & cute so I like it).
    Her colour styles are mostly light brown and delicate colours, kind of a delicate autumn look is what she is going for when it comes to clothes, her furniture is all white through like in the pictures. She is young and probably? likes to party. I made her room kind of stylish and a room a young adults might have that just finished teenage years and are into the same things she is.
    I hope you like her! She has custom content but I feel that her looks show a lot of her personality! ^-^

    Thank you again for doing this competition and I am grateful for a chance to enter the competition!

    Edit: I deleted a part of my message, I didn't add anything :x that would be unfair since the deadline is already here.

    Good Luck Simmers!

    My favorite sim is my main sim, Lina (not a sim self, just gave her my name).

    33cc3883ea.jpg
    Lina is part of a secondary Alien race I made up before I could get GTW. She was separated from her family at a young age, and was raised by humans who told her to hide her true origins at all costs.

    Later in life she was reunited with her biological family, and quickly turned against this method of thinking. She now has a brood of children all her own and can't imagine denying them their rich roots, and does everything she can to encourage them to embrace everything that they are.
    She just had an adorable set of twins.

    61e8d99707.jpg

    Her and her husband are completely enamored with them.

    She loves gardening, and participating in her community. She is co-chairwoman of the local scouts organization, and lead the renovation on the Willow Creek park.

    The first day it opened, the local scouts gathered. (All but the guy in the upper right are children of hers).

    This is my longest standing family, and will always be my favorite.

    My favorite thing about the sims is creating and raising a family and just doing new things and having fun. :)

    @simgirl1010

    I would have to say that my most vivid memory of the Sims was my very first play-through with Sims 2. I started out with this blond character in a red wide polka-dot dress, and her husband, a brown-haired guy. I don't remember everything about that household, a lot of stuff went wrong, because I wasn't used to the game yet. No one in the family ended up with a nice house, and no one got far in their careers. It was all about this family just trying to get by, and I was along for the ride. I just had so much fun, time went by so fast. I played a lot of households after that, but I never forgot what it felt like that first time around.

    I started playing the "sims" late in life (almost 4 years ago). Started with TS3-however I do have TS2. I have most of TS3, and all of (but 1 stuff pack) TS4. I began playing when my husband passed away-33 yrs. of a great marriage. So; with my Sims family, I am able to relive all those wonderful times I shared with him. My Sims get me through those special dates (B'days, Christmas, Mothers' Day, Anniversaries-ect.,ect.,ect.) that meant so much to us. I actually don't have a favorite base game. I do favor: pets, toddlers, and now vampires. Thanks to TS-for helping me keep my sanity!!

    I started playing in the early millennium. I often babysat for my friend and she had bought SimCity. Everytime I babysat, I'd play it. Later on, she bought the Sims and I played that, too. I finally bought Sims 2 and then Sims 3 and now I have Sims 4. I think my all-time favorite out of them was Sims 3, just because of the options to change patterns and colors. I'd decorate rooms in the homes with themes like a pink rubber duckie bathroom complete with walls, floors and so on. Sims 3 took forever to load because I was always adding new options and the game, consequently, was a behemoth. I really like Sims 4, but it is pretty much a completely different game in that it concentrates on character development and doesn't place so much emphasis on design.
