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...

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.

Life Unlimited - Episode 2 is out!

Sorry for the long wait! Episode 2 of my relatively new TS4 series LIFE Unlimited is now available on my Youtube channel.

So, why did it take this long? I had to come up with a better technical solution because when I started recording, the quality was much worse than when episode 1 was produced. I think I found a good routine, meaning the wait will be way shorter for episode 3 :)

Newcrest: Arena Shopping Mall - part 2

(TS4 Get To Work) Welcome back to my mini series where my sim Corinne Dougham will establish a shopping mall located in Newcrest. The build is actually named Arena Shopping Mall and contains 4 sections, or different stores if you like. Bakery, Clothing store, Retail and Photo Studio. It's small for a mall, but still quite a handful to run, especially for Corinne who started straight from CAS and with zero skills or business traits. This update will focus on the bakery, but first a few more words about Corinne Dougham...

I told you that she has no home but spends the nights on park benches. Well, that is no longer true, Corinne resides a spacious 2 stories townhouse located at Crestville. Crestville is one of 3 hoods at Newcrest, so it's not that far away from the mall at main Newcrest. Yes, I told you that she would only be used for building up the business, but then I started to like playing a sim with lots of money owning a whole shopping mall, so I figured she can stay. She will still not be a central part in my ongoing video series, Life Unlimited, at least not that I know of at this point.

Schwaini and Day of the Dead (TS4)

In my TS4 town Gloomville, there reside a large number of families that you probably never heard of. Some of them were background characters in my story Gloomville Diaries, while others never made it to the story line. The Schwaini family belongs to the latter category, I think. They are the quite poor and eccentric family, and they live their rather shady lives in the subhood named Muggerdale Hood.

Their old introduction reveals that they made a living from collecting stuff to sell at Muggerdale Fair, next door, but truth is that today this households are criminals. Well, elderly Miri and Corinne (pictured) both retired, but their kids Rambo and Sculla grew up to become nice, criminal young adults.

Get Creative with the Photo Studio Object

One of the features that I really looked forward to when buying Get To Work, was the cameras. Your sim can own a camera that makes it possible to create decent photos for the walls. But there is also the Photo Studio object that makes the photographed sims pose a bit more in a professional and fun setting.

But you know how it is, after using a feature a number of times, and intending using it for all my existing homes in Gloomville an the other regions, it became a bit worn out when families had to choose from a limited number of backdrops and poses. I had to develop this a bit further to secure enough variety for my sims...

So I did, and now you can see some of the result in a brand new video that was posted on my Youtube channel. Duration 4:39. I plan to post more short videos with tips & tricks.

Hopefully you are inspired to make more photos with your sims. Let me know how you like your sim family portraits :)

New video series released: LIFE Unlimited

So, I finally made it! I'm proud to show you the first episode of my new series LIFE Unlimited! Not proud because it is perfect or anywhere close, but that I completed the task and managed to convince myself that this is okay, no need to edit and tweak for weeks :)

Story is about the siblings Fredric and Barbara, and in the first episode they are heading into the deep forest with their parents. This first part [duration 07:06] is a tad loose, avoided to add too many advanced settings and complicated plots. I never before made film with TS4, and the editing program was new as well. Lots to learn, many ideas to test out. When I get more used to all the tech the story will probably get more advanced too :)

I hope you enjoy LIFE Unlimited - Into the Woods!
