News May 2022: Mazaloom History Book.
Grab your camera and read on! I'll post a challenge because I just did it myself, and had some fun :)
This can be done in many ways, and you don't really need to follow my rules rigidly, as long as you end up with 9 large photos on your exhibition wall.
(Year 227) The high nobility House of Thebe was semi-dormant ever since the last Baron of Myshuno passed away, 20 years ago. He had only 2 daughters, but luckily one of them had a son. This son, Rainert Ross turned 25 this year.
This Winter Rainert got crowned Baron of Myshuno, as well as becoming the new Head of House of Thebe. His mother, Duchess Ribra Lynn of Rossie, held the House going, but had no right to make any changes as she naturally switched her last name to Ross, when marrying to Rainert's father, the Duke Jarret of Rossie. However, she never officially switched houses.
Rainert is now known as Baron Rainert II of Myshuno, or Rainert R. Thebe as he took his mother's maiden name in order to bring on the old House of Thebe, which is one of the oldest houses we know. The legendary Princess Cordelia Thebe is just one of several well known historical members.
Spoiler alert! It feels like forever, but there were "only" 25 episodes in the main show. And now the final one is recorded, practically edited with only the second half score count yet to be calculated. I think I know who will win it all, but I can't be 100% sure before it's calculated. I won't do that until the premiere day.
We all want more lots, more community lot settings and multi functional malls. So far this is all more or less restricted, but nobody can stop you adding features to your standard community lot.

| The old library at Gibbs Hill in Britechester got some new features! |
I often add one or more extra features that has little or nothing to do with the lot category. Those tiny corners might not attract the NPCs, but the point is to create more arenas for my active household to enjoy.
(Year 227, Windenburg) The Duke and Duchess von Windenburg are thrilled to announce the birth of two lovely baby girls this Winter. All are healthy and sound, and family life at Estate von Windenburg will definitely take a twist.
Girls can not be in line of Successors to the Windenburg dukedom, but we would like to state that right now that is of less importance. Having three daughters is a blessing!
So, I did not really plan creating CC today, but suddenly I have some fresh bowls of fruit on my hands! I was tired with the base game all white fruit bowl, AND I always had problems finding it as I normally would not search for clutter like this in the §250 range of the catalog. So, I decided to make a change...
The bowl now comes in 9 new versions, plus the 3 original alternative swatches (top shelf number 2 and 3, old white not pictured). There are now 2 striped, 2 dotted, 1 with ceramic pattern (not 100% seamless, but will work if you just pay attention to the placement). 4 one colored, but with a slightly darker trim.
(Year 227, Fall) In this mini series we'll follow Antoinette Morck and Salim Benali and their 5 kids moving from a tiny rented flat in San Myshino, to run the Moo-moo Cow Farm in Henford-on-Bagley. It's not only a long distance to travel, but even more an extreme change to how they live their lives. There are 3 parts each representing one week in a different seasons.
If you missed their first 2 weeks, you might like to start here.
*) This is a not-in-game thing.
3rd Week - day 1
I'm Antoinette Morck. Last two weeks taught me that faming is real hard work!
I moved to Henford-on-Bagley with my patner Salim and our 5 kids, Mangela, Selinda, Joshua, Conny and Poblo, Four of the children go to school, and they are old enough to help out with our Moo-moo Cow Farm. The four cows Pinky, Princess, Klaira and Nameless need our daily attention, and we also grow just a little vegetables for our own consume. On top of this, recently the children got a kitten from their "aunt" Catarina Lynx in Brindleton Bay (my brother Ray lives with her). This week we'll try to make better profit and to optimize our routines.
Episode 24 of the long running "the Free Will Show" is up (video link below), and well - be warned: it ends with only two participants left in the house! I was expecting to create the final 3 episodes of this show, but this episode got way more dramatic than I could hope for. This includes several dramatic fires AND the death of one contender! This is the first death on the show (except from the two cowplants that died some episodes ago), and I nearly found myself crying. Yes, I wanted to get rid of all but the winner, but seeing the character die with the "cameras" rolling felt awkward, indeed.
(Year 227) Diego Lobo (47) has been a celebrity ever since he started out as an Art Critic as a teenager. When his father, Santiago Lobo, died, Diego became Head of the House of Lobo, but never established his own family, which would be the obvious thing to do to secure the future of your House. Diego lived a rather eccentric life in his rented Uptown mansion, which he shared with two poodles. Recently he was warned that House of Lobo will expire unless he reports at least one more member, forcing him to involve his less successful Sim City relatives.
I never gave it a serious thought until today; but The Free Will Show might actually be among the longest running The Sims shows ever created! Ha, now that it all will be over in just 3 episodes, I must admit that I can't hide my excitement for it to end.
When the show started more than 3 yeas ago (August 2018), I was expecting to produce 10+ episodes mostly to explore the Free Will mechanics of The Sims 4. Honestly, the free will dynamics are not all that great, at least they require that you direct the sims occasionally, otherwise they mostly focus on their basic needs. It took several seasons of the show to see the first hug between two contenders! Hardly anyone ever flirted, and nobody put up a fight - ever.
From season 4 I had to implement the red lamps simply to make sure that the show would eventually end. Right now all the four contenders have 3 lit lamps each, meaning there will be one contender kicked out in every coming episode! So, in just 3 more episodes we will know the winner! The winner gets to keep the Free Will House that is located in Brindleton Bay and becomes a resident of my Region 12. In addition, she or he gets §1,000 for every single point of their final score!
