House of Dougham: Triplets Celebrating Teenage Birthday

(Newcrest, Year 226) The Dougham triplets Cornelus, Martin and Wilhelmina celebrated their teen birthday yesterday. The triplets are well known also outside Newcrest, as their mother is successful business woman Corinne Dougham, Lady Crestville - and their father is Region 12's Mayor Charloman Au. (Crumpleton) Dougham.

Left to right: Martin, Cornelius and Wilhelmina Dougham are now teenagers.

Mr Cornelus Augosto Dougham (centered) was first born of the three, and is also declared the main heir to his mother's noble title. He has been an active Scout, and plans to continue this activity aside of focusing on school. Being a perfectionist he will likely do well in school, which will help building a snobby life style and his dream of becoming Fabulous Wealthy.

Mandy Rosewood's "Into the Jungle"

(San Myshuno Year 225) Last week was the opening of another huge exhibition at Casbah Gallery at Arts Quarter, San Myshuno. Mandy Rosewood's "Into the Jungle" contain 20 large and medium sized paintings from the jungle of Selvadorada, where she recently spent two years.

Mandy is an Oasis Springs artist, specializing on landscapes. She will typically bring her easel out to the  field, then collect numerous sketches to bring back to her rented Newcrest atelier. Then, she will spend long periods there to complete all her sketches until she can pick a selection for a future exhibition.

As Sims Go By - Season 3 is here!

(The Sims 4 Machinima) 3rd season of my video series AS SIMS GO BY is here! In this 1st episode (of 5) the main character is Mayor Charloman Dougham's wife, Corinne Dougham Lady Crestville. She is obsessed with becoming a Baroness and she faces a dilemma when realizing who will be replacing Jacques Villareal as the leader of the secret cartel. The Council starts a new 5 years period with 2 new members, and triplets Cornelius, Martin and Wilhelmina will soon start high school.



In this season there are a few changes - like each episode focusing more on just one household. Less info require that you watched previous episodes, as each episode is more like a stand alone video. It's still real sims and locations from my game, and some scenes are even regular gameplay with not so much rigging. So, I also see the series like a documentary on how I play. Although I had to lower my ambitions a tad, I hope you will enjoy :).

Houses and Peerages + CofA Download

July 2022: Downloading from this blogger post no longer works, so please head over to a new page listing all my TS4  custom content. All free. DOWNLOADS

(Year 226) My Region 12 (and beyond) community currently counts 101 active households, and up to this point only those having a Peerage or a Noble Title were seen as the high crust aristocracy. Those households often have a long and detailed backstory, and they all have their Coat of Arms (CofA). All good, but lately I realized that there are more old and wealthy families that should be included. Status should spring out of a top class House, even if they don't have a Peerage. CofA should reflect head of House rather than previous Peers.

House of Crumpleton traded timber for generations, and their CofA colors reflect the forest.

The more I thought about this, the more important it seemed to adjust my point of view. I needed to focus more on Houses. So, now I've given it all an overhaul, checking family trees for a logical line of design for their CofA. There is now a "Houses (Jewelries+)" info page (previously "Nobilities' Jewelries") has been reorganized with a short info blurb on each House. Read on to see how the refined system will work - and to see what CC download is on offer.

February updates

(Year 226) It's Fall of Year 226 in my game, and I've been focusing a lot on the Paranormal stuff pack, that I like a lot. It's been a while since I updated various projects and video series, so I thought I'd just give you a few winks about what I've been up to, and what updates to expect shortly.

Carla Grossing, Brindleton Bay.

I enjoy the new stuff pack very much, and I've built up some skills and related décor in 4 households that will focus a bit on the paranormal stuff. You can read about some of them in the previous Paranormal posts, and there will definitely be more posts soon. I don't plan playing the 3 haunted houses intensively, but I created a brand new household where a sim with a suitable back story will have the Paranormal Investigator career. It's great to know that I can play the paranormal houses even if they are not in my rotation, because I can stop by during the night between other households I play.

Rossie Palace - Mega Tour

(Year 226) I've finally completed the Rossie Palace - located in Rossie District which is actually outside my Region 12, but once upon a time Rossie and Region 12 were in the same administrative area. This post became a massive picture post - get ready for a tour of the palace!


Rossie Palace was originally built in Year 1 and onwards, and is probably the closest I get to a royal castle in this area, especially when comparing the interior. The Rossie dukedom (Region 11) was instated Year 2, together with the Windenburg dukedom (Region 28), and these two peerages are still more traditional than the two dukedoms within Region 12 (Meadows and Cavalier).

Paranormal #2 - Jeb Harris, Séance table and a Fishing Queen

(Year 226) I'm still having fun exploring the Paranormal stuff pack, and here are two more of my many households that are more or less involved with paranormality. Get ready for another massive picture post :)  (did you miss the first one?)

Spencer family
- Grims Quarry, Evergreen Harbor

The teenager Jeb Harris (family tree) is a mystery to many, I guess. The boy lives a life with a paper bag over his head (I still don't know what he looks like!), and there were no clue to explain his weird behavior - not until now! I made the backstory for this family long ago, but did not focus much on them. Jeb lives with mom and dad and one younger brother. His dad's mother, Francine, lived with them, she is the elderly daughter of Collin Grims who founded the local quarry long ago. The marriage never worked perfectly, as mom Faye focus on her Culinary career while dad Cletus prefers not making money at all. Old Francine was actually hoping for a divorce, because she wants them to take back the Grims name, rather than use the workers name, Harris...


I loved this picture of Jeb's meeting with a Specter! I never seen a specter get this close, it was hanging there for quite a while. Either this one needs glasses, or it got to curious when seeing a paper bag face for he first time. Anyway, Jeb has been into these things all his teenhood - it's the reason why he has problems facing the real world out there.

House of Ross Announcement

(Year 226, Henford-on-Bagley, Rossie) House of Ross announces that Lord Robert Ross was celebrating his teenage birthday at Rossie Palace. Robert is the 2nd of Duke Jarret of Rossie's 4 sons, and is now given the title Baron of Rossie, meaning he will prepare to become the future Duke of Rossie.

Baron Robert photographed at Rossie Palace with his parents, the Duke and Duchess of Rossie.

Duke Jarret and Duchess Ribra Lynn informs that Baron Robert did well in school, and has developed a rather perfect study routine already. He will now attend high school, including a switch to the private Cobbernobler High School eventually. His main interests are football, swimming and sailing at the family's vacation home in Sulani. The Duke and Duchess hope their main heir will find time to focus on old and new interests, although his next years will be busy.

Paranormal #1 - Cats, kids and Bonehilda

(Year 226) Mega picture post! I grabbed the new Paranormal stuff pack, and although there isn't all that much to do until your sim builds some Medium skill, I had a blast getting started!


This is no pack review, I just want to share some pics and stories from my game. I added #1 to the title as I can imagine there will be more paranormal picture posts later on. I play rotationally, meaning I hardly ever get to dive deep into any pack before there is a new pack, and yet another pack. With the Paranormal stuff pack it will be different, because the most interesting stuff takes place during sleeping hours, meaning I can jump over to the haunted houses between playing other houses. It should at least be possible to build the Medium skill rather fast, and from there it will be is possible to start the brand new career, Paranormal Investigator, which requires 5 skill points (unless you spend tons of aspiration points to get the needed certificate).

So, in this post we'll stop by 2 haunted houses - one poor and one wealthy.

The free Will Show - Episode 16

Life goes on in the Free Will Show house, and episode 16 was released!

There are still four contenders, Charles, Brenda, Sonia and Ramona - nobody died or were throw out yet. The goal is to have only one contender left in the house, and thanks to a few changes in this 3rd season, that might happen anytime now!

With 2 cowplants in their backyard, there is a certain chance that someone gets eaten. I think they all have been interacting with one of the cowplants, the clue is to grab that cake while you are still affected by the previous attack.

But there is yet another change done - to those red lamps. End of ach episode the contender with the lowest episode score gets a red lamp turned on. In the past, the episode winner was allowed to turn off one lamp, but that is no longer an option. Each contender has 4 lamps, meaning when the 4th gets lit, yu get kicked out of the house! It also means there is a limit for how many more episodes there can be, because when 15 lamps are lit, we will have a winner. And about 4 lamps are already on, so there can not be more than about 11 more episodes. I hope there will be at least 3 contenders left for the final 4th season, which will be quite intense and horrible! Muha! Season 4 will start in March.

First, enjoy episode 16, which is a tad longer than the norm, as the contender  collected more points than ever! Voting is open for 7 days.
