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.

Regional Reform Y233 Completed

(Year 232, Fall) It's been a long journey, but this week we got the final regional structure. Everyone affected can now take notice to adjust whatever is calling for adjustments. The new regional borders will have big impact on political parties because they need to mobilize candidates in each of the 8 regions. With new borders, their candidate focus might need a change. But also the regional spread of community services as well as the location of each region's community center might be affected, High Nobility will be heavily affected, too, at least a few barons dropping in rank. Most important - the long wait is finally over!


Changes are now official and will have full effect from 1st day of Spring Year 233. However, in some areas changes are already being implemented. The website (both community pages and residents registry) has already been adjusted according to changes, but there will be a few more adjustments addressed shortly.

The new map shows that most changes will regard the old Region 12 Mazaloom. Up to now the People Chamber, the Royal Palace and the High Court were all located in this huge region, but next year all of them will be switching regions. Region 12 was the largest region by far, but will now hand over land to Region 3 Tredony, Region 7 Advorton and the new Region 5 San Myshuno. That's correct, our largest city will now form its very own region!

The goal for this reform was to avoid small and large regions, making the population balance better with the region's number of seats at the People Chamber. Although it was not possible to reduce San Myshuno without splitting it, which was voted down, the new structure seems like an all over improvement.

This week the regional Mayors attended a small event at President Wilder's office at the Council House, Magnolia Promenade in San Myshuno, in order to debate the changes. Together the 8 Mayors form the Mazaloom Council, which is a political organ not making decisions but being the link between People Chamber and the regions, including the many districts. They deal with local initiatives as well as stately directions.

Left to right: Henrik Kraft (Mayor Reg 1), Jurton Summerton Mester Foxbury (Mayor Reg 2),
Laurent Pepperstone (Mayor Reg 3), President Rob Wilder, Robert Lockerbud (Mayor Reg 4),
Baron Vincent of Man (Mayor Reg 6), Elvira E. Honeydew (Mayor Reg 7), and Charloman
C. Dougham (Mayor Reg 12 and Leader of Mazaloom Council).

Regional Mayor is a top position won at the 5 years election, but not all of them have a seat at People Chamber. The 8 Mayors were assigned following the Year 230 election. At the meeting only Region 5 San Myshuno was not represented, as they used to be part of Region 12. Back in Year 230 the LEFT party won San Myshuno, so they will assign a Mayor for the remaining 2 years of this period.

Also, Mayor of Region 8, Eric Opticom, was not invited, as Region 8 is now under Region 4 Crafthole. Opticom's position was degraded to assist Roger Lockerbud, but will still function as the Glimmerbrook Councilor. 

Region 1 Windenburg
This region was not affected by the reform.
Districts: Windenburg (regional center), Granite Falls

Region 3 Tredony
This region got the biggest growth as the city of Del Sol Valley was moved from Region 12. Del Sol Valley is home to the Royal Palace including the Royal Chamber, and would be a natural regional center. However, such structures are already established in old Tredony, and there will not be any changes at this time.

Mayor: Roger Lockerbud (RIGHT)
Current population: 212,000
People Chamber seats: 1
High Nobility: Crafthole county or Ticktop county*

Region 5 San Myshuno
This region is new as the city of San Myshino left Region 12 to form its own. It is the largest region of the kingdom, population wise. The option of splitting the city for 2 smaller units was turned down, but the region will cover two districts anyway, as the city was originally foremed by the regions Myshuno and Meadows.
Districts: Myshuno (incl. Magnolia Promenade) (regional center), Meadows
Mayor: ... (LEFT)
Current population: 1,556,000
People Chamber seats: 5
High Nobility: Meadows dukedom

Region 6 Aarbyville
This region was not affected by the reform.
Districts: San Sequoia (regional center)
Mayor: Vincent de Croismare (MIDDLE)
Current population: 330,000
People Chamber seats: 2
High Nobility: Aarbyville dukedom

Region 7 Advorton
This region is joined by Oasis Springs with StrangerVille, moved from Region 12. They form a natural unit with reference to geography and climate.
Districts: Ciudad Enamorada (regional center), Chestnut Ridge, Oasis Springs (incl. Strangerville)
Mayor: Elvira (Echos) Honeydew (MIDDLE)
Current population: 331,000
People Chamber seats: 1
High Nobility: Advorton county

Region 8 Ticktop
This region was merged into Region 4 Crafthole.
Current population: 0
People Chamber seats: 0

Region 12 Mazaloom
This region was heavily affected by the reform. San Myshuno moved to new Region 5 San Myshuno, Del Sol Valley moved to Region 3 Tredony, and Oasis Springs with StrangerVille annex moved to Region 7 Advorton. Region 12 Mazaloom is still among the largest regions.
Districts: Gloomville (regional center), Newcrest, Brindleton Bay
Current population: 697,000
People Chamber seats: 4
High Nobility: Cavalier dukedom

Now that all political sides of the regional reform are set, we only need a formal statement from the Royal Chamber regarding the high nobility peer and the faith of the four district orders now going extinct.
