More Seasons: One Year in Oasis Springs

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.

Only 2 more movies to go - phew!

Movie: One Year in San Myshuno

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.

Only 3 more to go!

As Sims Go By - Year 211 - Picture Post

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...

One Year in Gloomville

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.

New Seasons based movie: One Year in Granite Falls

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.

TS4 movies - more to come!

In the future I will focus a lot more on the Simmerville Youtube channel. Several new series are currently in production - make sure to subscribe!

These days I'm making movies from all my worlds, exploring the ever changing weather and seasons. This series is called "Seasons - One Year in...", and if you already love the latest EP, or you want to check out some beautiful scenes and fun events while waiting to get it, make sure to subscribe to the Simmerville youtube channel. The Seasons series will probably count 8 movies, Brindleton Bay is already released and the others with release during July!

And there will be plenty more movie content for months to come, as I'm planning weekly movie releases!

The Five Units Challenge - Report 34 - The final generation

Only two more reports! This one gets rather long, so I'll try keeping the text to a minimum. So much is happening when you try to rush a story to complete it before the Seasons release! I actually managed to prepare both reports before Seasons release, and the final report #35 will be out late next week!

Our main character Olivia Clump grew up, she had been dating a few guys already. Somehow the conversation felt easier with the guy she met at the romance festival, Kayson Dorman. He worked as a servant at Civic Cliffs, a dining located in Crestville (a hood in my Newcrest).

They met again at the museum next to his job. It was the perfect location for some quiet conversation.

Seasons: One Year In Brindleton Bay

[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.

The Five Units Challenge - Report 33 - Olivia growing up

Rushing this challenge to complete it before the release of Seasons. Trying to focus on the essentials, only, but you know I always liked details in my stories, lol, taking pictures of every little event :)

Starting of with the Clump family tree, because they are currently 11 sims spread on 4 households and 2 worlds. Might be a tad hard to keep track on.

Sylvia (green) and Abraham, had 4 kids, all married and currently with kids. This challenge follows Donna Clump, only because she was born with the right looks, black hair and green eyes. That's required to take this challenge along.
  Donna Clump married Gerald, they had two kids, August and Olivia, only the latter has black hair and green eyes. This family resides in Rivercrest (southern hood of my Newcrest)
  Rudolph Clump resides in San Myshuno's Spice Market with wife and two teen daughters, Cybil and Carolina.
  Sammy Clump resides in San Myshuno's Spice Market (actually same building as twin brother Rudolph), with wife and one teen daughter, Sabrina.
  Fiona C. Meshram became the black sheep of the family, she cut off all contact with her siblings, and they think her hubby forced her. She is in bad company. Resides San Myshuno's Art Quarter, with hubby and kids Nadia (teen) and Alexander (taken away).

The Five Units Challenge - Report 32 - Skills and Duties

Hey - guess what! Because of Seasons coming soon, I decided to complete this challenge before the new features are added! I wouldn't mind seeing some rain or snow in the Clump family's everyday, but you know, with calendar and other new stuff there might be adjustments to how things work, and I don't feel like reinventing anything regarding this challenge.

So, 4 more reports are planned, meaning each update will cover about 7-9 simdays/years.

The challenge founder, Sylvia Clump, recently died from old age, and current challenge keeper, Donna Clump, is facing lots of trouble. She is only half way maxing ut her three required skills; cooking (from mom Sylvia), painting (from dad Abraham) and singing (Donna's personal skill). Donna's daughter Olivia will soon grow up and Donna must be all set by then!

- Oh my, why by Similius was I boern into this silly challenge?

The Sims 4 Seasons is coming!

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!
