Interview with Arabella!

Before we begin can I just say, thank you to everyone who have made this site what it is, after one month we've hit nearly one thousand views! And to celebrate one month of SimsTabloid we've upgraded our site house style and logo plus we have a give-away coming soon, so keep your eyes peeled for that!

So today I nicely had the chance to interview the newest rising Let's Player - Arabella.

1. How have you reacted to the success you've had on YouTube so far?

Honestly my mind is blown!  I feel so lucky to have had this success. I wonder, why me? Sometimes I feel guilty honestly, sometimes I feel like others deserve it more. All I know is I love my subscribers and the nice comments so much. The bad thing about getting success fast, is that there is a lot of hate coming my way.  I can’t let that stop me though! Youtube has changed my life completely and in the greatest way!

2. Did you ever think you would get where you are so quickly?

Never! Not in a million years! I honestly started Youtube just for fun. I didn't go into it with a mindset that I was going to become popular. I just did my thing and got my name out there and then *boom*. I thought that I would only have 80 or so subscribers by now, I just feel so lucky and so blessed. I have a long way to go though.

3. What did you do when you found out you reached 1000 subscribers?!

I felt shocked. I felt like I was officially an LPer, not just a girl making LP’s. I felt proud and very surprised that people actually like me! I mean I’m a weirdo. I felt the same way when I hit 100 subscribers though, to me that is just so many people!

4. Who has been your favourite character from any of your Let's Plays?

Oooh definitely Meredith Finnigan from my Dragon Valley LP. That was my first Let’s Play and I will always remember her. She is a beautiful fairy that pops out a child every day, and she is super hilarious to make fun of. What’s not to love?

5. Do you have a lets play in mind for after Island Paradise?

Yeah! I was debating over three different ideas. But, I have decided to do a Sims 2 let’s play! I think that that would be very fun. After that I’m doing the time travel EP of course.

6. Are you excited for The Sims 4?

YES YES YES!  I’m so excited I can’t even explain! I am honestly started to get a bit tired of The Sims 3, I am ready for something new and fresh. The most exciting part for me, is finding out what everything will look like! I love change, change is something I embrace. I am so excited, I love surprises and this is going to be an amazing surprise!

7. How hyped are you for the next expansion?

I think it sounds really fun! A lot of people don’t like unrealistic things in the game, but I love it! For me, The Sims is about doing things you could never do in real life; being who you’ve always wanted to be. I think that Time Traveling sounds fun. It sounds a lot more enjoyable than University Life or Open for Business. Just a personal opinion. I’m much more excited for The Sims 4 though.

8. What type of simmer are you?

I think I would describe myself as an “achiever” type. I like to play the game to complete all of the Lifetime Wishes and goals. I am definitely not a builder!

9. Do you prefer to kill or create Sims?

Haha, definitely creating Sims! I love playing with the facial features and the outfits, I love the customization that the game gives you. I definitely don’t mind killing them though...

10. Which expansion pack has been your favourite from The Sims 3?

You are going to think I’m very strange, but my favourite is Pets! I am a complete animal lover and I could never play a family if they didn't have a furry friend. I think that it is essential to the game.

11. What new feature do you want to see in The Sims 4?

That’s a hard one! I want to see three preset heights; tall, average, and short. I would also like to see babies with legs and gameplay similar to The Sims 2.  I want funny animations and Sims you can really get attached to, for me the Sims in The Sims 3 are just so bland! I want to see Sims with more personality, more lovable, and I think  that is what we are going to get!

12. Finally give us something quirky we don't know about you already?

Hmm, I don’t know! I’m just quirky all over, I’m a quirky open book. 😜
