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.

The Free Will Show - Call for 2 Participants

(Closed) The Free Will Show will air January 2019, and you are invited to submit one of the two missing participants! Through the 4 editions Hugs / Cook & Clean / Pets / Monster four sims and one pet were already chosen. There will be no more editions, so the 2 remaining sims must be created and suggested by you guys!

Please see the vid below for requirements. Need 1 male and 1 female, both young adults. Create one and post your gallery link in your comment to the video.

The main show will be a little different from the editions. It's gonna be edited tighter, and some conversations will even have subtitles based on their talk bubbles. Participants will collect points based on a mix of the rules already used in editions, and points can be used to buy events/services to make living easier. Some episodes will also be followed by a couple days of voting where you can affect what event/service the participant in charge shall buy. Each episode covers one simday, and this time aging will be on! Complete set of rules will be posted later.

After 3 episodes, the participant with lowest score will be kicked out. After another 3 episodes one more will be kicked out. The remaining 4 sims will stay for the full show, and the winner is the last alive member of this household! Winner wins the Free Will House and becomes a resident in my Region 12! (Hopefully still young enough to found a family)


With some luck this show will be long running, with 1 - 2 episodes per month.

Deadline for suggesting participants is December 30th. The 2 randomly chosen sims will be announced on December 31st.

Free Will Show Monster Edition - part 2

Here's final part of the Monster edition, and we have a winner! I'm not unveil the result here, but as normal - you only need to watch the start and ending of the show, and perhaps a few snippets here and there from the main part. In the main show episodes will be more edited and hopefully more entertaining.

We now have 4 contenders, and within a few days a call for the last 2 contenders to the big show airing January 2019 will be announced (deadline will be Dec 31, so there's plenty of time to check back). Specific gender and traits will be required, so stay tuned.

For now, here are the 4 monstrous contenders:

As Sims Go By - New episode out now!

2nd episode of my soap series is called "Growing Farm Rights". So, farming is one of the highlighted subjects, but there is also lots of other stuff going on. You'll learn to know the 5 Councilors better, get a few more ideas about those mysterious people, and there is of course some hints for next episode.

In a week or so there will also be a new film in my "How I Play" series, explaining the Farm Rights a bit more in detail.

Enjoy:

Sneak Peak Upcoming As Sims Go By Episode

Tomorrow is release day for the 2nd episode of this community focused soap featuring real sims and locations from my game! Check out the previously released 1st episode here! One of the subjects for the new episode is the Farm Rights, an idea you might like to adapt. Here's a few teasers:


Free Will Show - Monster Edition part 1 of 2

So, here it is - the Monster edition! 4 evil or mean sims gathered in a house, roaming about freely. Bad behavior gives them points, and after 2nd part one of them wins a spot on the upcoming big Free Will Show.

Previously were chosen a hugging person, a neat person, and a pet loving person (with a pet). Now the bad participant is to be found. Finally you can help by creating one of the last two participants. Stay tuned for announcement mid December, there will be certain traits and genetics required.

So - get ready for the Monster edition! Remember to watch start and ending, but feel free to skip parts of the main section. It's a full simday real time, spying for that long won't be good for you.

As Days Go By - Year 215 Picture Post

Hello! Year 215 was completed long ago, actually the first As Sims Go By episode released Nov 15th took place in my game's year 215. My current routine is to bring you a picture post every year to show what's going on in my game that counts 50 households.

So, in these more or less monthly As Days Go By updates, you get a chance to learn the small stories and destinies taking place outside the film series. Every here and there you might also find some ideas for your own game, but I'll not be very detailed in these posts. They are mostly meant as easy reads for inspiration. If you have any questions, feel free to comment, and I'll explain more thoroughly.

Starting in Gloomville's poor hood, Muggerdale. The richest household is Mugger Farm, being run by the same family for a few generations. They still grow produce, and this farm has 3 Farm Rights (see the As Sims Go By film series episode 2, or How I Play episode 3 for details on Farm Rights).


The household is a bit odd. Alan and Janet are siblings, and although Alan is young adult and ready to establish his own family, he won't take over the farm. Their parents died when they both were teens, and even if not building his life here, Alan ran the family farm while his sister was a student.

The Free Will Show - Pets Edition - Part 2 of 2

So, here's part 2! Because this edition only has 2 episodes, this part is where the winner is chosen!

The winning sim gets a spot on the upcoming big "The Freewill Show", and so does the cat or dog that the winner has the strongest relation to.

Feel free to jump and see random sections of the main part, but don't miss the beginning and the ending. For the main show airing in January the episodes will be shorter and much more entertaining as all dialogs will have subtitles :)

.
Monster Edition opens in a week, and I really look forward to this last edition that will be quite different from the others!
