and big time lover of all things sims!
How did you come up with the Quick
Creative CAS Challenge?
I’ve always loved hosting random creative
gallery challenges. I’d mainly host room
challenges and CAS challenges which were
coordinated in the gallery only. When our
world changed dramatically in March of
2020 and we were all quarantined due to
the Covid pandemic, I knew I had to do
something bigger to support our sims
community through such an extremely
stressful time. I chose the forums as my main
challenge home for a few reasons. I’ve
always admired Rosemow’s weekly room
challenges located on the forum and
figured we could use a weekly(ish) CAS
challenge there too. Also, there is a large,
dedicated section on the forums for
challenges which is pretty easy to find and
the forum is the main location for
information on Maxis Favs and nominations.
Nominations are a big part of my challenges
and creators happily deliver great things I
can nominate weekly! I’m so thrilled to say
that there have been 20 Maxis Favs
awarded to QCC entries so far after 40
creative themes! Let’s keep that trend
going!
What is your favourite thing about The
Sims?
We’ve been getting some pretty awesome
game updates lately which I’m definitely
loving but I think right now I would have to
say I love all of the friends, collaborators &
helpful simmers in this beautiful community
that I’m blessed to know.
When did you first get into The Sims?
I actually started with Sims 3 in 2009 and was
instantly hooked. I found a copy of Sims 2 at
a garage sale a few years later and dabbled
in that gameplay a bit, however, I went back
to Sims 3 almost immediately. Now, I’ve been
happily playing and creating in the world of
Sims 4 since 2015.
Which one of The Sims do you like best
from 1-4?
The best by far for me personally is Sims 4.
72
Oh gosh, there’s no way I
could name just one thing
lol! Those who know me
know I’m such a talker
so I could go on and
on about all of my
favourite Sims things.
For those who don’t know, what is Maxis
Fav and how can Simmers get my Sims
nominated?
I feel a Maxis Fav is one of the greatest
