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.

1. So, how did you originally get into the Sims franchise!

I was quite young when The Sims came out and my parents couldn't afford a computer for me, but my mum bought The Sims and played it on the family computer. I would pull up a chair and watch, and occasionally she'd actually let me play (she was, like me, very overprotective with her Sims games!).

    Okay this is a little weird but this girl all the way from Belarus comes to stay with my family every summer. A few years ago she asked if I had any Sim games. I didn't (unfortunately) and asked her what it was about and everything like that. A little while later I got The Sims 2 for my birthday.

1. Can you tell us the story of how you got into the Sims franchise?

    I was introduced to The Sims by my neighbour not too long after the game was originally released. She would buy each expansion pack as they were released and I would play them with her at her house. My parents later bought my brother and I the base game and Unleashed, which we played until I got The Sims 2 base game. From there, I've just progressed onto later games as they've been released.

Arabella's Favourites!

So now time for the big premier! The new idea for SimsTabloid is called "Favourites" - I take one simmer, and ask them a variety of questions to find out their favourite things inside and sometimes outside of the simming world! This time I asked Arabella, one of my favourite interviewees to reveal all! (Read My Previous Interview with Arabella Here!)

1. Favourite SimGuru?

SimGuru Onion, SimGuru Banana, and SimGuru Frosted Flake. 😉 (SimGuru Smitty, Lauren, Graham, and Argus actually.)

Interview : SimGuruOnion

After "Onion-gate" in July's first Sims Live Broadcast, a new and popular SimGuruOnion took the stage and more importantly was revealed to the simming nation! I got the exclusive interview below!

1. So Ryan made the onion slip, is it true that you are actually his secret lover?

    I certainly was Ryan's secret lover! The secret is out now and we got married just hours after the Sims live broadcast! Our wedding video is available on YouTube here. We tried to keep it a secret because the world is so harsh and judgemental  "Why would a man fall in love with an onion?" they would say. To which I respond, it's because we're a beautiful and loving couple.

Interview : PixelSims

1. So, how did you originally get into the Sims franchise!

    This is a bit of a long story, but as a kid I often spent a week at my cousins house in the summer holidays. It was here that I first played The Sims 2. I was addicted almost instantly! At the time I had no access to a personal computer -only the family one- so I had to play the game through other means, aka the PS2. This went on for a while, until for Christmas '10 when I got a Laptop, two days after that the Sims 3 was installed onto my computer, and I haven't stopped playing since.

Interview : Rachybop

Rachybop time! Yes that's right! I interviewed fellow British simmer, and iPhone enthusiast Rachybop! You all her know her so with no further introduction...here's the interview!

1. So, how did you originally get into The Sims franchise!

    My friends would always talk about The Sims, and how it had only just been released and how it was like no game they had ever played before. I didn't know what it was, until I saw it in the store. The box alone drew me in, it was like a slice of virtual life that I could control, no body else. I bought it and from that moment on I have been a fan.

    My parents gave me The Sims 3 for Christmas 2009. I was ecstatic and the second I opened it; I was begging my dad to install it to his computer. The person who really got me into The Sims was Curtis Paradis. I loved the houses he made, and I wanted to see if I could make houses like he did.

Interview : SoToniJ

SoToniJ is another Let's Player full of enthusiasm and from her videos you can tell she is real, die-hard Sims fan! On top of this she also runs a blog about her and her Sims too!

1. So, tell us how you originally got into the Sims franchise!?

    One day in the year 2000 I was watching TV and my mother came to me and said that she couldn't get a game to work. So I went on the computer to see this game called The Sims and I picked up the manual and read it all the way through. Then I did the tutorial with Bob Newbie and started playing his household. After a few hours my mother came to me and asked me if I fixed it and I told her nothing was wrong with it. She said they weren't speaking English and I told her that they had their own language. I stayed on the computer for another 8 hours playing it. That is how I started playing The Sims! 

Interview : Simified

Simified is one of the biggest Sim news sites around! Of course you know about Simified! Now Simified (Arthur) has also branched out to YouTube building an array of lots! Check out my interview with Arthur below.

1. Can you tell us the story of how you got into The Sims?

    The Sims was a game that I had discovered while visiting family one time. I was only 10 years old at the time. My cousin was playing the game and it looked like a lot of fun, so I wrote down the name and then went out to get the game. I was so excited to get home and play it on my own computer and that lead to hours and hours of fun! As I followed the franchise more I learned of new expansion packs such as Hot Date, Vacation, and Superstar and started getting them all. I own all of The Sims 1, The Sims 2, and The Sims 3 so far. Can't wait to add The Sims 4!

    My parents bought me the Sims 2 double deluxe when I was 8. I played it for hours the day I got it and since then. I guess I've been addicted haha!
