Meet The Gamechangers

AnchesenamonSim

We have all heard of The GamChangers who review The Sims and are an ntegral part of the simming community, but WHO ARE they? In our new monthly feature you will get to meet a different GC each month and find out exactly who they are and what they do.

This month we are featuring AnchesenamonSim and the interview is by The Simming Spoonie.

How did you become a Game-Changer?

A few years ago they were looking for simmers who were primarily builders and I was asked to fill out a form listing my ten favourite buildings. Apparently they liked my buildings and I was invited into the programme. The first time I was given early access was with The Sims 4 Island Living.

Who inspired you to apply for the GameChanger programme?

I think Lisa (Lisabee) told me to apply, but it might also have been Brenna (Brennachan). I don’t quite remember, but Lisa and Brenna have always been very enthusiastic about my builds and they always have my back.

What are your favourite and least favourite parts of the Game-Changer programme?

My favourite part is talking to other game changers and being able to ask SimGurus questions. It’s a lovely little community within the big sims community. My least favourite part is that the programme sometimes makes me feel very insecure, because I am actually just small fish amongst some really big ones in a massive pond and being a small fish can be a bit scary at times

How does being a Game-Changer fit into your everyday life?

It fits in perfectly! I’m self employed and can plan my time whatever way I want, so whenever there’s a new pack, I can plan my work around creating buildings and videos.

If you could choose just one pack to keep, which one would it be and why?

but if I could keep only one I think it would be Cottage Living, even though I haven’t even played it yet, but I love England and especially the Cotswolds. So this upcoming new pack is right up my alley. It looks awesome! My sims are also always into gardening, probably because I can’t manage to keep a plant alive in real life, so I make sure my sims all have green thumbs. I mean, isn’t that one of the points of playing the game? Making your Sims live the life you actually want or being good at things you stink at?

If you had to get rid of just one pack, which one would it be and why?

That fitness one, because I hardly every use it and I hate fitness in real life.

Do you prefer building, CAS creation or gameplay? Or something else entirely?

I used to be primarily a builder, but since I started creating videos for my YouTube channel I’ve started playing the game more and more. Now I actually love all three aspects of the game, but if I’d have to choose one, it would still be building.

Where do you find the inspiration for your creations?

I find inspiration everywhere. I can be driving around in my car, see a window on a house and get inspired to build a house in the sims. Or I get inspired watching TV or a movie, or just by looking at photos on Pinterest. Other builders also inspire me.

What is your favourite social media platform for all things Sims and why?

Twitter, because I don’t like Facebook.

Who is your favourite SimGuru and why?

I don’t have a favourite SimGuru. All the SimGurus are very creative and passionate about the game. Some of them are more visible on social media than others, but that doesn’t make me like them more or the quiet ones less. I like them all, because they all help

create my favourite game. The SimGurus are not perfect, nor is the game, but I honestly believe that the SimGurus want to make it the best game possible and for that I am grateful.

Where can readers find and follow you?

They can find me on Twitter, Facebook, Twitch (although it’s been a while since I last streamed!) and YouTube.
