Nicole. K Games Interview

I got the amazing chance to interview Nicole. K who has recently reached 20 000 subscribers on her Sims Let's Play channel! Her calm nature and kindness makes her a refreshing spirit and someone who is very fun to watch!

1. So your channel Nicole K. Games has reached 20 000 subscribers! How have you responded to the amazing success you've had?

It is honestly still a shock for me, even gaining one subscriber. I never thought I’d end up with 20,000 subscribers, because I started YouTube for fun & for their entertainment. Never did I think my channel would grow this much! I’m thankful for all of it ♥

2. Did you ever think your channel would get this far?

I did not think my channel would get this far. I don’t really check my stats, so it amazes me whenever someone congratulates me, because it is just so unexpected.

3. Are you excited for The Sims 4? Which feature (that you've seen) are you most excited for?

I’m sort of neutral when it comes to The Sims 4, but the recent broadcasts have definitely boosted my excitement a bit! I am really looking forward to create-a-style, it looks very interesting.

Joewaaayyyy Interview! With Pixel

Interviewing Joewaaayyyy

Continuing what is becoming a staple of SimsTabloid, I got the honour of interviewing the up and coming YouTube sensation. JoeWaaayyyy. 

1.How did you get into The Sims Franchise?

 I don't remember exactly how I got into the franchise, but I remember always carrying the box for "The Sims: Vacation" around with me haha. When I was a little older, my cousins showed me "The Sims 2" so I went out and bought it! I've been hooked since.

2.What is your favourite aspect of The Sims 3?

 The main reason why I moved on to The Sims 3 a year and a half ago is because of the idea of a Open Neighborhood. I loved the idea of sims living lives of their own, especially aging on their own. That was one thing that really bugged me about The Sims 2 that you had to play the household for them to age.

The Sims 3 and Mods

Around the time of the generations release I was getting desperate for large families in my game, so after many simming years of just having 8 sims in a family I started looking into mods. Now mods aren't for everyone and some people even consider it as cheating but I love the ways I can enhance my game play by adding in mods that increase the games functionality and even fix some issues. Before I go further I would like to say thank you to the mod creators that put so much work into the mods they create and keep them up to date when patches, EPs and SPs come out.

Why use mods:  There are 2 reasons I use mods.

1) They can fix some annoying lag issues by resetting stuck neighbours and clearing up stuff in worlds.

2) They can add to the game play allowing you to control the world more and allow you sims to do more i.e. take out loans, get more choice in part-time job.

WARNING:  Please read any instructions regarding a mod before installing. When patching or installing new games, temporarily remove all mods (and update them before putting back).

Installing mods: you will need to set up you game to allow mods/custom content, It is simple and only needs to be done once.  Steps on how to do this can be found here.

Where to find mods:

•           Mod The Sims (Sims 2 & 3): http://www.modthesims.info/
•           Awesome Mod: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,15185.0.html
•           Nraas (Twallan):  http://nraas.wikispaces.com/

To see how I use mods check out my video.

MOD golden rules:

•           Update or Install, remove mods prior to an update or install.
•          Update or Install Sim games = update or check mod compatibility before adding back in.
•          Don’t mix up core mods, stick to one.
•           Always read the creators documentation to check compatibility of a mod with your game.
•           Keep your mods folder organised, it will just make things easier for you.
•          If you don’t use a mod remove it, too many mods or certain mods can slow down you game so keep on top of this.

Thanks for reading.

New Store World Hints

Yay! Sparkle finally has Hinting Privileges! Which means more store hints from the team...this time it's a world hint...there have been many different conspiracies, but SimGuruSparkle has put (most of) them to rest! In her usual limerick style, she rhymed on twitter:

A house I loved very well Was a wonderful place to dwell But it caught on fire, flames, they rose higher Leaving only a burned-out shell.
— SimGuruSparkle (@SimGuruSparkle) September 9, 2013

But what does this mean exactly! Is it a burnt down jungle? Is it a post apocalyptic world? Is it a place for all your evil sims to be punished? Or could it be a burnt down Victorian London?

Store Set Review : Sun, Surf & Sand (Sleep) Set

Let the gentle surf lull you to sweet and smug slumber. Although 40% of the world’s population lives in a coastal region, very little experience the extravagance of a Sun, Surf & Sand vacation. As expected, Sun, Surf & Sand comes with a catalogue of new beautiful objects for your Sims to use and decorate their outdoor living areas with.  What sets it apart from previous Sims 3 store sets is its focus on tropical based living, in my opinion. This set allows Simmers to expand on their own without spending too much money.

This set is 600 Sim-points right no which comes out to be 6 US dollars. This set may not be perfect for everyone, but the stuff it brings to your games and a touch of your own flare would take your game play to another level. This set comes with 13 items; two chairs, one lounger, one wall light, two sofas, one coffee table, one dining table, two plants and three miscellaneous objects. This set not only comes with new objects but is could be perfect in family home, and or community lots to visit. This set highlights the game’s new aquatic features since The Sims 3 Island Paradise was released. If you have purchased the latest expansion pack then this set is a must have! If you haven’t it’s still a must have if you want a beautiful outdoor living area.

Introduction - Cultivate 23

Hello Simmers,

I am Cultivate23,

one of the new bloggers on the Sims Tabloid. I am very excited and grateful for the opportunity to write with this new tabloid. Just a little background about me is; I am a full time student and I'm studying Bio/Psych as a double major with an emphasis in Dietetics. I know that may be weird since I love the; Sims, writing, cooking and interior design, which have nothing really to do with my major. Nevertheless, I love my major and love my hobbies just as much!

I have been Simming since the Sims came out and I fell in love right away. I recently started a You-Tube channel where I do Let’s Plays and Sims 3 Series. It has been an amazing way for me to express my passion for the Sims and my writing. I hope to do the same with the Sims Tabloid and Cultivate some new things with this new experience.
I will be writing; Sims 3 Store Reviews, Interviews and maybe even some short short stories with CAS, design and my CC finds!

 Happy Simming
Cultivate23
