Walk of Fame: Octavia Moon

(Del Sol Valley, Year 226) With the recent publishing of her Poems for Sleep Walkers, writer Octavia Moon has reached Global Fame! Last night she invited friends and fans to a ceremony at Walk of Fame in Del Sol Valley.

The situation turned out a little awkward as she was placing her tile.

Penny Pizzazz - Aiming for Global Fame?

(Year 225) There's been a lot of upper crest nobility posts lately, so how about some celebrities instead? The next Reg12 NEWS with a celebrity section is weeks away, but actresses and musicians work hard on their careers - constantly.

You definitely recognize the blond actress below, but how about the one wearing a yellow dress? Well, it's Penny Pizzazz, in my region she was among the first sims to embrace an acting career.

Back then Penny had already done some modelling, and I don't really think she was ambitious, beyond getting her 6 stories tall outdoor commercial poster displayed to all San Myshuno citizens forever. That billboard is from her modelling, though. As an Actress she is more humble. She is now living with the famous Painting Artist Vince Remeréz, and their toddler daughter, Sandra.

As Sims Go By - The Colors of Showbiz (Episode 4)

Episode 4 of my Machinima series "As Sims Go By" is now airing on my Youtube channel! Fanny finally gets started farming, and Josue is unlucky as usual. And how about the mysterious group in that cellar, what are they up to this time? A little more romancing than usually, but also death...

I'd love to have more feedback, so whether you like it or not, don't hesitate dropping me a note :)

As Days Go By - Year 216 - Picture Thread

I intend to bring you a picture post every sim year to show what's going on in my game that counts 50 households. Right now I'm a bit behind with these picture posts, as playing the game and making the As Sims Go By series took all my time. It's currently year 218, so it's time to let you in on what happened in year 216. It's the year when fame was introduced, which still feels kinda new. Showbiz is also the main subject for the new ASGB episode that will air tomorrow!

The "As Days Go By" updates give you a chance to learn the small stories and destinies taking place outside the film series. Every now and then you might also find some ideas for your own game, but I'll not be very detailed in these posts. If you have any questions, feel free to comment, and I'll explain more thoroughly.

This time we'll stop by at each hood only once, meaning less jumping :)

Starting off with a general picture, although it's from Gloomy Garden of Gloomville. Each district (world) has built a tiny Speaker's Corner where locals can debate politics or simply state their view. On this picture the entire Region 12 Council is arguing :) The venue was adjusted afterwards. And yes, the council has a Group, making it easy to gather them, but it also helps when locking doors at the Council House.

Penny, don't jump!

I normally spend weeks and months planning my videos, but the other day something weird and funny happened, and before I knew, I had filmed a very short video.

The first impression looks very dramatic, but then look inside - the truth is quite different :)



PS: More videos in production, "As Sims Go By" ep4, "Free Will Show" ep3 and a new "How I Play" will all be released during March!

Get Famous: Notable Newcomer

I just grabbed the Get Famous EP on sale, waiting this long because I know I will not play celebrities. I prefer normal sim lives, or even community matters. But, isn't a fame system part of a community? I don't know yet if the system will work well outside the sims' Hollywood, but i will find out.

While I will mostly focus on my regular sims where of some might deserve a little fame - like painters, musicians, writers, critics, politicians and a few with more custom types of careers. For now I'm just taking a round allowing a few residents build their 1st star.

There is one resident who it feels natural to give a shot for the Plumbob Studios of Del Sol Valey; namely Penny Pizzazz. In my game Penny has been modeling for at least 10 years, so I don't mind her trying out some acting as well.

I want her to gain minimum 3 fame stars in the long run.

Celebrities in my game

Hello! Wondering what I am up to?

The entire Sims community seems to be busy with the recently released Get Famous expansion pack. I've not grabbed this pack yet, but do keep an eye on let's play videos on Youtube, just to see if it might match my game play a bit more than I think.

Fact is, I already built a studio in my game, long ago. This was done to shoot a few scenes for my "As Sims Go By" Youtube series.
