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.
So, you know I have lots of TS4 game related stuff on a web site aside of this blog? It contains the Residents registry and lots of administration info from the 5 Councilor departments, and all is linked from the top, and also from some articles.
This Winter Duchess Claudine de Cavalier made her long going botany project public, and I think I forgot to mention it here. It's available from the Science & Education section of the mentioned web site. Over 10 years she investigated most plants, of course with hired gardeners doing most of the dirty work. Anyway, the result is a table where crops and flowers can be sorted in various ways: By group, by active seasons, and by earnings when growing normal plants and perfect plants.
This is very useful information if you want to grow the plants that will give the highest income, or if you want to be busy in your garden only in a specific season.
Although the main project is completed, there will be added more pictures and info on special plants.
Yesterday the 7th part of my Seasons EP related series "One Year in My Worlds" went public. It's the longest movie, because there was so much to tell! The hoods are so diverse that they almost feel like different worlds. And - I got access to Windenburg only a week ago, so everything felt new and amazing.
This time you will meet mostly two families, plus Father Winter obviously, but there is no thorough story. I hope you will enjoy "One Year in Windenburg".
Part 6 of my Seasons based series is released! This time have a look arund the warm and arid Oasis Springs to see the changing seasons and weather. And yes - it can snow in Oasis Springs!
All featured sims are sims that I play. This time the Rosewood family is in the spotlight, but with no bold story line. You might recall Ona Rosewood as the runner up in my "Sims by Numbers" show back in 2014. Now she is married with politician and Region 12 Councillor, Josue E. Rosewood, and they have 2 teens in the house. Ona works as a Florist.
The 5th part of my Seasons based series is up! This time have a look arund the city of San Myshuno to experience the changing seasons and weather. All featured sims are sims I play, but this time there is no story line.
My new approach for this blog will be the project "As Sims Go By" (movie series) accomplished by "As Days Go By" (blog picture posts). There will be a couple movies every month (I hope), focusing on both how I play the game and what's going on in certain families. But I will also share a few tidbits as picture posts, and here is the first. Actually, there was one previously when cats and dogs were moving in.
So, my families have been frozen in the year 210 for ages, but finally their clocks are ticking again! With seasons comes the calendar, which is a superb addition for pushing both game play and stories forward!
Starting with a funny picture of farmer Agaton Oaksdale. He runs Oaksdale Farm with his wife Sonia and their daughter. Hm, formerly named Willow Farm, I don't recall whether there was a formal name change, actually...
Yet another episode is out! This is the forth of my The sims 4 series "One year in my worlds", and this time you get to see how the changing seasons affects my oldest world, Gloomville. This is Willow Creek, the one we all know because it came with the base game! We probably developed it differently, though.
And while the previous episodes focus a lot on weather and nature, this time there is a loose story. Several households are featured, and the Bootwig family is in lead! They have been among my favorite households ever since the start. You can read their introduction elsewhere on this blog (2014).
Four more Seasons-related movies will be released in July, so please subscribe to my Youtube Channel not to miss any. Most updates will of course be announced here, too.
The third episode of my The sims 4 series "One year in my worlds" is out! This time we're exploring the beautiful deep forest of Granite Falls during a full year.
Fabian and Anders Rumple are featured, and long timers might remember that Fabian was one of the participants to my series "Sims by Numbers" on this blog. He now resides in Oasis Springs with wife and son, Anders.
Five more Seasons-related movies will be released in July, so please subscribe to my Youtube Channel not to miss any. Most updates will of course be announced here, too.
The second episode of my The sims 4 series "One year in my worlds" was just released. Taking place in Newcrest the Clump family is featured. Yes, that's the family from "The Five Units Challenge" that is about to be completed these days.
Six more Seasons-related movies will be released in July, so please subscribe to my Youtube Channel not to miss any. Most of them will of course be announced here, too.
[The Sims 4, Seasons] Yay, I've enjoyed the latest expansion pack for 2 weeks, and I'm planning a series of new movies from my various worlds. Today the first was released, «One Year In Brindleton Bay»!
I didn't actively play many households in Brindleton Bay yet, but my sims often visit this beautiful world. It's a world liked by many. This movie focuses most on the landscapes and weather, but in some of the others you will also step inside some of my family's homes.
Maybe you already know, but returning from my vacation finding these news made my day!
The Sims 4 Seasons is coming to PC and Mac on June 22! Hey, that's only a couple weeks!
I loved the seasons for all my sms games because the season and weather adds so much to most activities. Your sim's outfit when going somewhere. Romancing in Spring vs Autumn? Choosing indoor or outdoor arena for your party might be essential - who wants an outdoor wedding during a snow storm? So, will more sims get married during Summer? Kids growing up in Winter will build skills differently from their siblings growing up in Summer. Will cats be less likely to go prowling on a snowy day? And so on...
There's not only weather, but also new activities. How about ice skating, roller skating, bee hives and snowball fights? Seasonal decorations, weather controller, interactive scarecrow, satisfaction points and you ca even design your own holiday! Your sim can now join the Gardening Career to become a Botanist or Floral Arranger!
Seasons are said to affect all worlds in various ways. It would be nice if visiting Granite Falls gave different experiences depending on season, and maybe the San Myshuno outdoor markets will get surprised by heavy rain? Willow Creek sunset might look different in Autumn?
This is the expansion pack that I've been longing for the most. I can't wait to find out more!
