Modding in The Sims

Hi!

I'm Francesca, I'm 24 and I'm from Italy. Right now I'm writing a thesis for my Master's degree on the phenomenon of modding in the Sims with the title "Video game modification as self-expression: the phenomenon of modding in The Sims". I'm searching some modders and creators of CC and of course all the gamers who use the mods in The Sims to answer some questions, if you would be willing to devote some time I would really appreciate it! Thank you!
