(Year 233, Spring) It's quite the happening when a new community service opens in StrangerVille. Nobody can actually tell you when the existing community lots opened, it feels like the library and the bar have been there since forever. So, when Mr Ted Rossell announced that a new Climbing Wall Gym was under construction up at Shady Acres, everyone - infected or not - paid attention. Yesterday it was finally time for the opening!
Welcome! :) On this blog you will find stories, how i play and videos created with The Sims 4, but also a few projects from older game versions can be found in the Archive. The old TS3 stories have their own blogs. Most long going stories have a main page with index of updates.
Check out Simmerville's Youtube channel!
I'm no longer on Tumblr! I refused to give all their 3rd parties unlimited access to my computer. Link still works, but no updates.

Historical Guide to (my) Ravenwood
(Year 233, Spring) Up through Mazalom's history we often find references to Ravenwood. And that is not so strange, because Ravenwood is probably the oldest civilization of the kingdom. When Mazaloom's year count started 233 years ago, the Heighwood family claimed they already owned and used the Crow's Crossing hood, while the Mux-Raisser family claimed the rights to Whispering Glen. This is quite extraordinary, as all other areas of the nation seem to have been rather unoccupied land.
The Ravenwood administration was early, too, but we can't say for sure if it was a community like we define it today, or a few organizations with the particular interest in Thanatology, as Ravenwood is still famous for.

Priest Benjaminus had his Investiture
(Year 233, Spring) Church of Similius is Mazaloom kingdom's stately religion, organized into 5 parishes. Last year was the last for Mr Christoph de Buttercups to serve the Tredony parish, as his request to retire due to high age was accepted by the church's board. His successor was announced this Winter, and yesterday it was time for his investiture.
The new priest is Benjamin Rosa (66). He has served at the Windenburg Monastery for 35 years, probably dreaming of this day. Priests are recruited from the Monks, but not all will ever get a chance to serve a parish.
Left to right: Mr Christoph de Buttercups, High Priest Ansgar Profedius, and new Priest, Mr Benjamin Rosa. |

Noldus the Clown appears in Copperdale!
(Year 233, Spring) Fans have been gathering in nightly hours all over the nation, hoping to be on the right location to observe the mysterious clown. It's been a while since the last observation, and many are now suggesting that Noldus the Clown might have appeared but just not been observed. Previously he was seen about every second night.
But last night the luck struck again! Not a larger group of fans, but one elderly man walking home from a late night drink with a secret friend in Copperdale.

New Zoo Attraction: Advardo!
(Year 233, Spring) Advorton Zoo, the only zoo of Mazaloom nation, is located in Ciudad Enamorada. Yesterday the zoo management announced this year's new attraction. Press was invited for what has become an annual Spring event. We all remember the chaos that followed when the Selvadoradian Giant Frog was introduced a few years back, and during the event it managed to eat two cameras and wound four journalists who moved to close to the iron fence intended to protect the audience from this scary jungle creation. The frog is still a popular attraction, but the iron bars have been replaced with a more solid version. Yesterday old and new zoo fans tuned in from many corners of the kingdom; What will be the next animal?
This time zoo manager Mónica López revealed that they got a rare copy of the Grim Standard Ascendant Crow! What? A common bird?

Another Noldus the Clown Observation last night!
(Year 233, Spring) It has become a repeating pattern lately. The mystical clown named Noldus keeps appearing at new locations, and nobody knows his true identity. For each observation the interests grows, and on SimMe the debates have been flying high the past day. Because, last night he was observed at Port Promise in Evergreen Harbor, Region Gloom.
This time the groups of fans and curious residents had met up in four regions where he did not yet show, with a hope of seeing him. Fans were ready in region Gloom, too, but in Newcrest and not Evergreen Harbor. Only one person observed him this time, Jane Opticom (29).

Artists Guild: Focus on Talent Agencies
(Year 233, Spring) Yesterday Vince Remeréz (75), painting artist and leader of the Artists Guild core group, met the press at Casbah Gallery in his home hood, Arts Quarter of San Myshuno. The occasion was that the Artists Guild worked closely with Talent Agencies last year in order to improve routines involving performing and creative artists - a work that is now about to close.
- This time we chose to look into the conditions for Actors, Models and TV-personalities. It turned out that the many talent agencies were too restrictive with what information they give out. New and hopeful performing artists will hardly get a contract and the system appeared as closed to anyone outside the right network.
This had to be dealt with and new webpages are on their way.

Noldus the Clown was observed again!
(Year 233, Spring) Fans who had gathered in Chestnut Ridge, where a member of the online group had suspected Noldus the Clown to show up, were disappointed. Because the mystery clown showed up quite far away, namely in Britechester, Rossie district.
He was observed walking slowly through the picturesque quarters of University of Britechester, wearing his usual blue and yellow outfit and red nose.
