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.

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.

Calendar Year 229

How could I forget about the calendar when starting Year 229? These annual listings of upcoming events in my noble houses actually helps me planning and also provide inspiration when moving on with my community. So - sorry for the delay - it's still early Year 229 and time (for me) to catch up!

The noble houses share highlights from their calendar. Most events are roughly planned a year ahead, making it easier for their busy network to reserve time in their schedule, and to avoid big celebrations to conflict. Most events are set for a season rather than a specific date, details will be shared later in formal invitations. Each house will normally host one or two major events per year, and most houses will accept only one invitation per social season (mid Spring to mid Fall). In addition, everyone on their Trust payroll will normally represent twice (royals a bit more).

This year is the first time that the Royal House de Luxe-Hamper is involved! Historical events are still being added to their historical calendar, but it's a start. Full calendars automatically updated with big and small anniversaries are available in the community section. Here is the major lineup for the sim year 229:



Mazaloom kingdom covers eight regions; 1. Windenburg, 2. Rossie, 3. Tredony, 4. Crafthole, 6. Aarbyville, 7. Advorton, 8. Ticktop and 12. Mazaloom. This calendar focuses on Region 12 Mazaloom, where the Royal Estate, Chateau Peak, is located in Del Sol Valley.



House of Luxe-Hamper
Crown Princess Emireza (18)
Prince Bazillimus (16)
 | Prince Cecil (14) | Prince Marcuz (14)
Amalia Ellice Luxe-Hamper (28)


On Military Tribute Day (Spring) HRH King Tarriot will attend a ceremony in Tredony.

HRH Queen Venezia has confirmed to attend Plumbob Pictures Studio's 50th anniversary. The studio established in Del Sol Valley as a direct result of the Monarch establishing at The Pinnacles in Year 150.

King Tarriot will travel to Tredony to celebrate Military Tribute Day this year.

The Royal Chamber is host of the Grand Mazaloom Gathering, a conference where all Dukes and Mayors of the kingdom are invited. This year the subject is «A regional reform - why and when». A reform is a political matter, but highlighting possibilities might stir up some interest.


The Royal House will normally not take part in the annual Farmer's Market, but this year they will attend to celebrate that it's 25 years since the festival was arranged in San Myshuno for the very first time. This Summer the city of San Myshuno is again hosting, and the festival is expected to be bigger than ever! Both King Tarriot and Queen Venezia will attend some of the many events.

Queen Venezia is hosting a «Ladies' Garden Party» to honor the 100th anniversary of late Queen Evez' birth. She was the first female Monarch of Mazaloom. This will be a ladies event, and HRH Crown Princess Emireza and several Princesses of the house, as well as most duchesses of the kingdom, are expected to attend. Amalia Luxe-Hamper might attend, too, despite having no society title.


The New Dimension Day is Mazaloom kingdom's constitution day. This year King Tarriot and Queen Venezia will celebrate in Ticktop during the day, but will appear on their Chateau Peak balcony with their household for the traditional evening salute.


In Winter King Tarriot and President Pepperstone will attend a press release concerning the possible adjustments of the kingdom's regions.

The Royal Chamber is the official host of the annual Court (Investiture Day) taking place at Chateau Peak in Winter. Several investitures are reported this year as part of the ongoing corrections of the large peerage. The annual Royal Chamber Gala Dinner will serve as usual. King Tarriot and Queen Venezia will attend. 
This year will cover the official celebration of 100 years since birth of Queen Evez (Y129-198), it is also 50 years since she became the 5th Monarch (and 1st Queen ever) of Mazaloom (Y179).




San Myshuno covers two districts; Meadows (Meadows, Fashion District, Upperton) and Myshuno (Spice Market, Arts Quarter) which are split by the Myshuno River. Meadows also includes Magnolia Promenade, which is home to low nobility Lord of Prome, held by the House of Rab-Saxor.


House of Saxor

It looks to be a busy year for House of Saxor.


This Spring Duke Victus and Duchess Gloria will attend Military Tribute Day ceremony at the Meadows, like they usually do.

In Spring Duchess Gloria will attend Plumbob Picture's 50th anniversary celebrations in Del Sol Valley.


In Summer both Duke Victus & Duchess Gloria will attend this year's Farmers' Festival in San Myshuno. It is 50 years since it was hosted for the very first time, by the city of San Myshuno.

In Winter the Saxor Memorial Day will be attended by Lady Corva. This will be her first representation.



House of Thebe

Baron as Rainert (Ross) Thebe is still a high school student and activity level will be low for the coming years. Therefore he is assisted by his mother, Ribra Lynn (Thebe) Ross, Duchess of Rossie and former Head of House of Thebe.


This Spring Baron Rainert will attend the Military Tribute Day.


In Summer Baron Rainert will be hosting the Myshuno District Order gala dinner.


In Fall, Duchess Ribra Lynn will attend The Butler Academy's 100th anniversary dinner.


In Winter Baron Rainert will attend the Thebe Memorial Day, but it is not yet confirmed whether Duchess Ribra Lynn will attend, also.




Brindleton's two high nobility peerages are the Dukedom de Cavalier (Sable Square, Cavalier Cove) and Deadgrass Lordship (Whiskerman's Wharf, which organizationally includes Deadgrass Isle).


House de Cavalier

This will be another busy year for House de Cavalier. Duke Charlopold is currently the only on this dukedom's payroll, and this Summer he will marry Lady Luna V. Heimlich, from Windenburg. She already resides in Brindleton Bay, and they have been dating for several years. Following the wedding she will move in at Chateau de Cavalier.


In Spring Duke Charlopold will host the Brindleton District Order gala dinner. 

He will also attend the Military Tribute Day, and a 50 years anniversary event at the local Sür-Blyth Farm, both in Spring.


Old-Duchess Claudine is no longer on the payroll, but has insisted on attending the 50 years anniversary of Farmer's Market taking place in San Myshuno this Summer.

Then, what might be the main event of this entire social season: This Summer the wedding of Duke Charlopold and Lady Luna will finally take place! Old-Duke Aquess, Old-Duchess Claudine and the groom's siblings Lady Merielle and Lord Leon will of course attend.

Old-Duchess Claudine will attend HRH Queen Venezia's garden party at Chateau Peak, Del Sol Valley.

House von Fyres
Ms Ailis Fyres (13) | Mr Kalic Fyres (9)

Dominic Fyres is the current Head of this house, which holds 3 peerages; Lord of Deadgrass, Lord von Dresden and Lord von Haunt. The latter is held on courtesy by Dominic's son in-law, Nivert Hump. Lord Deadgrass is the kingdom's only high nobility Lord, which is unique and suggested to be a result of a misunderstanding all the way back to Year 50. Both the Deadgrass, Dresden ad Haunt peerages are subject of corrections to the large peerage, shortly.
Dominic's wife has no title related to Deadgrass, but is known as Lady von Dresden, where they reside (Windenburg).


This Spring Lord Dominic attends Sür-Blyth Agriculture's 50th anniversary in Brindleton Bay.

The Brindleton District Order annual gala dinner takes place at Chateau Cavalier in Spring. Duke Charlopold de Cavalier is now sovereign and will host the dinner for the first time.


In Summer Lord Dominic and wife Lady Moira attend the farmer's Festival in San Myshuno. Running a farm in Windenburg should make it obligatory to attend this festival's 25th anniv ersary.


This Fall Lord Dominic and Lady Moira attend New Dimension Day celebratins in Dresden, Windenburg.


Lord Dominic will attend the Invstiture Day (Royal Court) at Chateau Peak, in order to get the new Barony von Haunt peerage.

In Winter Lord Dominic will celebrate his 80th birthday in Dresden.

And finally, in Winter Lord Dominic and Lady Moira will celebrate the Moon Memorial Day at Deadgrass Isle in Brindleton Bay.




The Gloom Barony covers Upperton, Willow Field, Muggerdale and Evergreen Harbor.


House von Kaching
Lord Edward Ba. von Kaching (48) | Lady Merielle (de Cavalier) von Kaching (36)
Rosine von Kaching (1)

As The Royal Chamber disapproved on Baron Bud's retirement request, this year will be more busy than he was hoping for. It looks like the Hon. Edward and wife Lady Merielle are gradually taking over the representation. Last year Lady Merielle gave birth to a baby girl, Rosine, and is now officially a member of this house, but not yet on the Gloom Trust's payroll.


In Spring Edward and Merielle attend the Military Tribute Day, and they will also attend the celebration of Evergreen Harbor's Conifer Station's 70th anniversary. Evergreen Harbor recently got status as one Gloomville hood, and will next year elect their own Hood Contact for the first time.

Gloom District Order will host its annual gala dinner at Umbrage Manor in Spring.


This Summer the Hon. Edward and Lady Merielle will be guests at the wedding of Duke Charlopold and Lady Luna V. Heimlich in Brindleton Bay. The groom is Lady Merielle's brother.


The household will move this Fall, and although it is not yet confirmed, it looks like they are heading for the much older and bigger «Brixerwood House», where the former Gloom barons used to reside until House of Brixerwood went extinct. Moving a barony household is not done during a weekend.

This Fall Baroness Rose will attend the 75 years anniversary of Gloomville Hospital. Lady Merielle might assist her.


In Winter Baron Bud will attend annual Brixerwood Memorial Day. 




Oasis Springs' only high nobility peerage is the Verde Barony, covering Verde, Dusty Turf and Nookstone. StrangeVille is administrated by Oasis Springs, but is not a part of the barony.


House of Sax-Donnersmalt
Lady Vitorina Cordenza (4) | Lord Dominus Juan (3)

Baron Auphor is getting very old and although he is still with good health, he has announced that he will need to slow down. With the nectar production and two toddlers at home, there will be minimum of travels outside Oasis Springs this year.


In Spring Baron Auphor attends the Military Tribute Day alone. Being the Patron of Military Forces Reg12 RC-164 Squad, he will probably never let down this annual salute ceremony.


Nothing


In Fall both Baron Auphor and  Baroness Morgan attend the New Dimension Day.

The Verde District Order annual gala dinner that takes place in Fall at Yuma Height Palace.


In Winter Baroness Morgan attends the Von Donnersmalt Memorial Day alone.




The high nobility peerage, Crest Barony, expired some time ago. Currently House of Dipperwell is the highest ranked family, as they hold the Priest of Church of Similius, which ranks as high nobility barony. The Priest title is no real peerage though, and includes neither Old Crest, Crestville nor Rivercrest. Also the old Crest District Order expired long ago.

No specific events taking place in Newcrest this year.


House of Dipperwell

Priest Antonius Dipperwell works at the Church of Similius, located in Gloomville. He can not choose not to attend any event. This year will be rather ordinary.



Outside Region 12

Region 12 covers San Myshuno (incl. Magnolia Promenade), Gloomville (incl. Evergreen Harbor), Oasis Springs (incl. StrangerVille), Newcrest and Brindleton Bay. Here are a few more districts:




Windenburg district covers the hoods Oldtown, Lykke (Harbor & Isle) and Dresden. The only high nobility peerage is the Windenburg dukedom, covering the entire district. This district is administrated by Region 28.


House von Heimlich
Lady Brinhilda Louise Heimlich (2) | Lady Onette Saphira Heimlich (2)
Baron Justov Hendrian Heimlich (1) | Lord George Olaf Heimlich (1)
Lady Mirarda (6)

The household now counts 4 toddlers and 1 child + farm animals and crops, and due to poor finances and very unfortunate events with the recently sacked Butler (Max Villareal), the Duke and Duchess personally handle most daily matters including tending grapes produce, cows and chicken. They will not travel much until all children started school or staff is again hired.





Duke Merlin
 will attend the annual Military Tribute Day in Spring.

Also in Spring, Duchess Mandy attends the 25th anniversary celebration of the Community space  «Hare Square».


This Summer Duke Merlin and Duchess Mandy will be guests at the wedding of Duke Charlopold and Lady Luna V. Heimlich in Brindleton Bay. Duke Merlin is the bride's father.

Duchess Mandy will attend HRH Queen Venezia's garden party at Chateau Peak, Del Sol Valley.

Both Duke Merlin and Duchess Mandy, probably also joined by Lady Mirarda, will host the Heimlich Memorial day in Winter.
