Sign: Leo
Whereabouts: Puget Sound Region USA
Real Life Occupation: Artist and Mom
Simming Bio: I started simming from day one. As a long time fan of Sim City and the other sim games, how could I resist running the little Sims' lives? I started downloading from The Mall of The Sims (when it was free) and TSR way-back-when too, and I've been hooked ever since. As a former professional dollhouse builder, it was a natural jump to start making houses for the Sims. I've studied interior design as well as fine art and psych/soc, but my real love is architecture, so most of my sim creations center around the Sims' houses and build objects.
Interests: When I'm not in front of the computer, I'm remodelling my house, playing legos with my daughter, making dollhouses (real ones!) or throwing pots, painting and generally letting off creative energy. I also enjoy Astrology, other sort of computer games - Fantasy and Strategy, lots of different kinds of needlework and crafts, going out dancing, comparative religion and philosophy, investigating augury methods of many sorts, Sting, Jung and Tolkien and my three dogs.

Greer: Administration, Assistant Webmistress
Sign: Virgo
Whereabouts: Northern Virginia, USA
Real Life Occupation: Soccer Mom
Bit about you: Long time fan of the SimCity Series (I have a God complex) so the Sims was a natural follow through for me. I also build real dollhouses so the game provided a "virtual" extension of that. I really get into PC games, favs include Diablo, Dungeon Siege, Civilization, Emperor, Cleopatra, Caesar, Zeus. My S.O. got me hooked on all these and we probably have every RPG on the market. (I met him btw online when we were both members of Prodigy Classic over 8 yrs ago, and have lived together 5.) I worked for Prodigy (in the days of paying by the hour!) as a Chat host and BB moderator.
Interests: The Sims, music, reading, cooking, gardening and raising my son.

Vandi: Administration, Assistant Webmistress, Shopping List Princess
Sign: Taurus
Whereabouts: Denver, Colorado, USA
Real Life Occupation: Technical Writer
Bit about you: I was born in Colorado, and if all goes as planned, I'll die in Colorado a long time from now. I've lived all over the country, but the Colorado Rockies are definitely home to me! I dwell in a suburb of Denver called Aurora, probably because it's on the eastern side of the city, which is the direction from which the sun has risen every morning that I've ever been up to see it. I live in a darling little house with my S.O. of 6+ years, Brad. We both spend way too much time in front of the computer, but when we can tear ourselves away, we like to shop, travel, spend time with friends (we throw great dinner parties), and do the home improvement thing.
Interests: Playing The Sims (well, duh! ;->), writing, reading, music (playing and listening), fantasy role-playing games (i.e., Dungeons & Dragons-mostly, I run the games, but I like to play too), psychology (systems theories, in particular), theatre (acting, stage managing, and watching), Rocky Mountain geology and flora, language arts (yes, I think grammar is fun), cooking/baking/cake decorating, history/culture/arts/architecture/science of Europe from the Dark Ages through the Victorian Era, single-source data management paradigms, wreathmaking,... (was I supposed to stop anytime soon?)

Preferred Programs and Tools: Adobe Photoshop, PaintShop Pro, Dreamweaver, AdobeGoLive
Simming: Um, well, I play!
Preferred Programs and Tools: SE Object Manager and SimWallCat
Personal Website(s): Maybe someday I'll get around to making one...

Whereabouts: North Yorkshire, United Kingdom
Real Life Occupation: Lady of Leisure
Interests: I love travelling, cooking, dining out (I just love good food and a nice glass of wine (or two...), reading, lazing around, visiting art galleries, the company of nice people. Bits about me I'm Swiss, but moved to England 5 years ago and married my Scottish husband. No kids, but 2 cats. I used to work as a Marketing Services Manager for a big orthopaedic company, then left to run my own one women show as a Mental Trainer/Coach. Since I'm in England, I took up watercolour painting and hope to have my first exhibition next year. And since our house has quite a big garden, I also learned a lot about plants and weeds (the latter growing in abundance...). My husband also introduced me to computer games - and one day came home with the Sims - and I was happily simming ever after...
