Community & Editorial
Amaz'Sims
// 001 - Context
A fansite with real editorial standards.
Amaz'Sims is a well-established French-speaking fan community for The Sims franchise (EA Games), featuring a blog, a forum, and a weekly gazette. Recognized as a reference in the French Sims community, it is regularly contacted by the studio for exclusive promotions and giveaways.
The community runs on a volunteer team managing editorial content, forum moderation, and recurring events, operating at a pace that mirrors a professional editorial outlet.
This is where I first learned editorial discipline, community management, and content production at a regular cadence. It's where I discovered that marketing for games is exactly what I wanted to do.
// 002 - What I did
Writing, designing, and running the show.
Editorial: weekly gazette
Wrote 1–2 articles per week: game news, tips, community highlights, special editions. Designed every layout in Photoshop: consistent brand, every issue, every week.
Community animation
1–2 online contests per month: briefs written, visuals made, winners crowned. Every time, on schedule, with proper follow-through.
Forum moderation
Moderated discussions, welcomed new members, enforced community guidelines. I made sure everyone was having a good time.
