We have posted a few of their magazines in past updates, now read the story behind their work with the senior staff members (Madison1909, TSOAsiashamecca, and Allium) in the newest Community Spotlight Interviews from the official Sims 3 site!
What inspired you three to create a Sims fashion magazine?
Allium: Really it’s all down to Madi and her crazy creative head. She enlisted SimEve’s help on the pilot and the members of SID could see it had huge potential. But we are much more than just the core members, we owe so much to all our wonderful staff and contributors – it really is a team effort!
Madi: I saw how much potential there was after seeing what was happening with the CC (custom content) world and hosting the modeling competitions and said to myself – what next? So, one day, I brought up the idea of starting a Sim Fashion Magazine to Pinkwizz (who was as obsessed with fashion as I was) and we thought, hmmm, how do we do this?! My first thought was to bring on Simeve, whose shots I fell in love with during one of our modeling competitions. Of course, there were others that I wanted to rope in but, honestly, I thought these guys are WAY to busy for this. We went on ahead, on our own, with a “pilot” issue that, surprisingly, went over quite well, despite not being readable AT ALL! I figured, if anything, it would lure in the bigger fish with its success! And it did! By issue two, I had managed to nab Allium and Superpogimon into the whole thing! Asia was another obvious choice. I loved her work in the competitions as well, specifically her writing skills, but she has proven to be a multidisciplinary talent and a true asset to the magazine for sure!
Asia: I was just happy to be nominated.
