SAMANTHA SILVERSTEIN

Focus on creativity

Even in Sims 2 and 3, building a new house was much more interesting than living in it afterwards. So it was not uncommon to spend 4-8 hours building a house and then finally being able to play in it properly. It was also not uncommon for at least 8 hours of building to be followed by only 1-2 hours of playing with a character who had as little social interaction as possible.

It was more important that the Sims home looked like Berluscionis mansion for example instead of having 20 children, 5 lovers or an anoying doctorate job. But every now and then there was a career as a superstar and nightclub owner with a drinking problem, who occasionally drowned his neighbours in the pool so that their house would be empty and put up for sale, just because he had a bit better view of the neighbourhood.

This creative interest remains unbroken to this day. Samantha's current villa, which was built within months, is inspired by the masterpiece Mansion from Robert Sinclair (38 Beverly Park Cir, Beverly Hills)

And it should perhaps be mentioned that she is always armed with a fondue fork and willing to use it.
