==History==
Seri was an environmental educator working as a teacher several years ago. As she loved to spread her love of the natural world, she enjoyed teaching curious minds about nature. Around December 27, 2012, she made her YouTube channel, at the time named "serisims". Around February 17, 2013, she made her first video, "Seri Sims! Episode One - Introducing Ledesia!". She would focus on games with a general theming around nature, such as Zoo Tycoon 2, Minecraft, Harvest Moon, Stardew Valley, WolfQuest, Planet Zoo, and several Pokemon games, along with simulators such as Sims 4.
==Zoo Tycoon 2==
Her Zoo Tycoon 2 videos were initially rooted in a roleplay premise. Seri would play the game, making zoos in the game's Challenge Mode, while acting out the part of an experienced zookeeper mentoring an intern (represented by the viewer). She would usually be able to come up with an explanation for more technical things in this roleplay format, such as claiming that when her game crashes, a meteor was the cause of the crashing. This style only lasted through her earlier playlists, and she later dropped it after it slowed down production of the series. She had the official release of the game up through Zoo Tycoon 2: Ultimate Collection, but also downloaded various fan mods she utilized in her series. She would also play the main themes of the varying Zoo Tycoon 2 games on loop throughout her videos, initially using only those relevant to certain zoos, before playing all of them in this order for her wider array of zoos: Zoo Tycoon 2, Endangered Species, African Adventure, Marine Mania, Extinct Animals, and Ultimate Collection.
Featured Zoos:
* Dinosaur Park (referred to in-universe as Iwi Ola Park): An extinct animal zoo based on Zoo Tycoon 2: Extinct Animals. It mainly focused on various extinct animals found in the Extinct Animals expansion pack, but also featured extant animals like jaguars, red pandas, and the critically endangered Javan rhinoceros.
* Coral Cove: A marine animal zoo based on Zoo Tycoon 2: Marine Mania. Initially focusing on marine animals, this was her first modded Zoo Tycoon 2 zoo, incorporating various modded creatures (some of which were extinct marine animals or even freshwater animals), though terrestrial animals like common peafowl and Leallynasaura were also present.
* Endangered Zoo / World Zoo: Unlike the previous zoos, this one had a wider approach to include all sorts of animals, many of whom are endangered species. Eventually, the zoo grew big enough that Seri split it into different zones, with the World Zoo being the overall name of this approach. After it suffered extensive crashing for a time, Seri went off on to the parks in the Endangered Quest and the subsequent Quest Zoo while the crashing was being fixed. After dropping the roleplay format, it became the first series to be played more like a traditional Let's Play.
* Endangered Quest / Quest Zoo: When repeated crashing plagued the World Zoo, Seri moved to zoos that were designed to be wildlife parks while her friend BenZooMaster, a modder in the Zoo Tycoon 2 community, sorted the crashing out. Thus, they were largely fenced off locations where animals were added off-camera to create the illusion of animals returning to an ecosystem. The first of these was Beaver Lodge, which focused on restoring American beavers to an ecosystem, with its role as a keystone species restoring various North American animals to the region. The second was Phoenix Forest, where following a forest fire, various birds settled down in the forest, naturally allowing other Central and South American animals to recolonize. The third, Polar Vortex, was a strange island where Arctic and Antarctic wildlife somehow wound up coexisting. Unlike the other two parks, Seri focused more extensively on making it a paradise for penguins rather than a true ecosystem, removing the region's predators like leopard seals and orcas (though ribbon seals remained due to their cuteness), while gaining some additional funding from extinct Pleistocene megafauna. After completing these three parks, Seri had the animals from her adventure ported to a true zoo known as the Quest Zoo, which she worked on until BenZooMaster finally fixed the crashing, marking the last series with the roleplaying format.
==Minecraft==
Seri did several series set within varying Minecraft worlds, of which one of them, Zoo Crafting, is one of the most popular series of her channel. The first episode of Zoo Crafting, "Our Zoo Building Dreams Begin!! Zoo Crafting: Episode #1" is her second most viewed video. Zoo Crafting is a modded Minecraft series of her building a zoo, and her teaching us, her 'classroom' facts about snakes, lions, giraffes, and more. Often joined by tamed dogs from the Doggy Talents mod, Lily and Tate, Zoo Crafting has crossed over with the ZooCast videos by Kafers8bit and ex-Yogscast member Caffcast, as well as the latter's Minecraft Jurassic Park videos.
Another of her Minecraft series was Pixelmon Ranger, a series based around the Pixelmon mod. This originally took place on MacAttack's Twitchelmon server, but eventually moved into a standalone world.
The Timeshot SMP was also featured in her videos, allowing her to meet with other YouTubers on that server such as Poet Plays.
==Planet Zoo==
Planet Zoo would go on to fill the void that Zoo Tycoon 2 had on the channel in her later years, with its more refined, more expansive approach to running zoos. Seri would work on various zoos in this game throughout all its expansion packs, connected under one franchise known as Pixel Biology.
==Pokemon==
Her videos of Pokemon games include mainline entries such as Pokemon Moon, Pokemon Let's Go Eevee, Pokemon Sword, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, and Pokemon Violet, usually involving Seri playing through the games while coming up with in-story reasons for why each Pokemon she catches in-game joins her. This led to her developing a catchphrase "If you're not here for the roleplay, then I don't know why you're here", to describe her methods of playing each game casually. Occasionally, she would trade with Chips in order to bring new Pokemon into her videos, further enriching the series.
