The Five Units Challenge - Report #2 - First Real Family

My little challenge for this summer/fall moves on rapidly, and twins just grew up, yay! Abraham and Sylvia had twins, and now seeing their genetics is quite exciting.

The toddlers seem to behave calmly and with manners, but I guess that will change soon enough? It's been a while since toddlers were introduced to TS4, but I hardly had time to play them until now.

The Five Units Challenge - Report #1 - Founders getting Started

I'm not having the time currently to play my games as much and detailed as I would like, so instead of random and quick visits to my ongoing hoods, I figured I'll run a smaller new TS4 challenge, allowing me to test the Parenthood gamepack. So, here's a few pictures from my new attempt at the Five Units Challenge. Find the rules here if you want to check it out!

I created Abraham Clump and Sylvia Rotting in CAS. They look quite ordinary, but according to rules a few details were given my attention. A small house was built and I was actually surprised how easy it was to get a decent starter home. I expected that their start funds would not give them a quite spacious home, but that they would need to stress a while to get the essentials.

The Five Units Challenge

I'm running a challenge and here is the set-up and rules, in case you like to do something similar.

My founders Abraham and Sylvia just moved in. Follow them on this blog - #thefiveunitschallenge.

I will post reports from my version of this challenge summer and fall, starting this July.

Rewind: One Happy World Charity Show

[The Sims 2, 2008]  I found this recording in my archives, a pretty cool recording from a charity show arranged in my Simmerville Hood - long ago. I have forgotten the hostess' name, and most of the other featured sims' names, as well. But I still recall the magic.

It took days to get it all right, and there are so much that I would like to make different today. Did you ever record as show like this, and would you care sharing your link? Would love to watch it :)

Simmerville's Sims Update

Hello? Anyone out there? Or in here?

I've been very silent lately, sorry for that! I've spent a few weeks abroad, and I'm in the last phase of a larger job which takes most of my time right now. Not enough time to play my games, and definitely not to make updates for my ongoing series «San Myshuno Undercover» and «Life Unlimited». I even have several ideas for new series, so I can't wait to get back!

I think i will focus on SMU with only 2 episodes remaining. My plan for LU is many more episodes, although not very complicated story wise. And then there is the new idea... well, I better hold back a little.

If you subscribed to my Youtube channel you might have noticed some clips called «Silly Search» that are not Sims related. Those clips are a little project, mostly for fun, they are meant to be weird video greetings with a text message hidden somewhere inside. They are now moved to another channel, so you won't need to get them on you subscriber list unless you follow the new channel.

So, when can you expect any updates? SMU part 5 will definitely be up during March, part 6 before Summer. I don't expect LU to catch up before April, hopefully. In need of some green screen editing there, so I'll probably need some time to learn those basics :)

Stay tuned!

San Myshuno Undercover - Part 4

A new episode was uploaded - San Myshuno Undercover, part 4 out of 6. Check out how Jill fares visiting her neighbor Geeta for dinner, and how the announced date with the photographer Shariff turns out!


Part 5 is planned to be released late february.

First Toddler - a Day in the Twoller Household

[The Sims 4] So, this game finally got its toddlers, yay! While I liked the TS3 toddlers, I never really missed them that much in TS4. Instead I would wish for a clearer difference between teens and young adults, because I do miss the teenagers like we had them in previous games. In other words my sims do grow up too fast.

Anyway, now that toddlers are back, I do like them. They seem quite big, and they obviously can walk from the second they live their baby bed. It will make them more mobile and probably more interesting to play.

The only household I could think of that still have a baby in their household, was the Twoller family. You might recall Toby Twoller coming 3rd in my Sims by Numbers Show a couple years back. He is now pushing elderhood, living in Oasis Springs with his wife Natalie and their kids Celina and Kendrick. Kendrick is now my game's very first toddler, regardless of worlds.

I captured some video while exploring Kendrick in everyday toddler situations. Have a look!

San Myshuno Undercover - Episode 3

Part 3 is up - secret agent Jill Narvane attends a vernissage at the popular Casbah Gallery, and finally gets seriously introduced to someone she longed to meet.

A total of 6 episodes are planned for this series. Get notified by subscribing to Simmerville's youtube channel or follow this blog.

Happy new year, and enjoy! :)

Life Unlimited - Part 3 is up!

Third episode of my TS4 machinima series, Life Unlimited, was released today! The episode is called «Forever alone?», and yes, Barbara and Fredric are still looking for their parents in the huge forest of Granite Falls. Being just kids gives a number of restrictions to what you can do, so maybe it's time to adjust plans?

Hope you enjoy! Remember to leave a "like" and to subscribe to my youtube channel if you want more. I love the movie making aspects of this game, and will produce many more cinematic vids in the furture! :)

San Myshuno Undercover - Episode 2

Did you watch the first episode of my new The Sims 4 series yet? San Myshuno Undercover is a story driven video series, with Lets Play elements as the main character explores many of the City Living EP's features. In this 2nd part she enjoys the Spice Festival and sings karaoke for the very first time. But there is also disguises, a worrying message and perhaps a new suspect...

Click image below, or see it on my youtube channel. Remember to follow blog or subscribe to the channel to get a wink when next part is up in a week or two...

San Myshuno Undercover - NEW SERIES - Episode 1

[TS4] Looks like I will release several series on my Youtube channel over this Winter! Today the brand new series "San Myshuno Undercover" opened with first episode! This is a kind of new way to learn about the "City Living" EP, as the main character Jill Narvane explores San Myshuno while looking for a certain person. It's quest/mystery mixed with a little drama and romance.

Here's the first episode of San Myshuno Undercover!

A total of 6 episodes are planned, each of them will be announced here on the blog :) Or subscribe to the channel.

Rose Gallery

[The Sims 4, Get to Work] Today I want to share a brand new community lot with you, it's a gallery classified a Retail (Get To Work required). In my original Gloomville there is a wealthy family named von Kaching, the Adult couple is named Rose & Bud (ya, you got it?). These days Rose opened a new business in Crestville (in the Newcrest region of Gloomville). The business idea is quite intriguing, and I'm yet not 100% sure it will work the way I hope for.

So, this is the wonderful Mrs. Rose von Kaching. She married to the filthy rich business man, Bud von Kaching long ago, in fact their two children are about to become young adults. Rose always dreamed about running her own business, she already had a small gallery in central Gloomville since a few years, but the business was too limited.
