Everything Cinderelli Did Wrong with the Eco Lifestyle Expansion Pack

Thank you to the EA Game Changers program for giving me an early access code for The Sims 4 Eco Lifestyle [which I'll probably refer to as 'Eco Living' for the rest of this blog because we all know that's what it should be called]. Thank you to The Sims for allowing me to take …

Sim Together: Saving the Magic Realm

As part of the #StayandPlay initiative that EA have launched to entertain people during the coronapocalypse, several gurus and streamers teamed up to tell a story in The Sims on Twitch. Over the course of a week (or so), lilsimsie, SimGuruRad, DrGluon, SimGuruDoi and SimGuruNinja all contributed to moving the gameplay along, leaving the story …

Isolating in a Small house with Seven Toddlers for the Coronapocalypse

So there I was... living my best Coronapocalypse life, doing what I do best... staying in bed, not wearing pants, and avoiding people in real life so I can talk to different people on the interwebz. I was enjoying having a good excuse to socially isolate and not go to work! Then I HAD to …

Parenthood Blog: Nihil Legacy – Part 2

The next time I played the Nihil's life (and apartment) was still a mess. But Krista woke up in a better mood. She felt less ill than she had at the start of her pregnancy and I caught er autonomously dancing to the stereo while Tre was out busking. She was eating breakfast when she …

Parenthood Blog: Nihil Legacy

The recent additions to The Sims 4 have been making me want to try a legacy style game again. I normally play with ageing off in a rotation, and I'm not very good at sticking to one family for long, but we'll see how it goes. So I had to make my founders. I didn't …

The Dixon-Phillips Family: Arranged Date

Astor Dixon was pleased with her current situation. Her husband was making steady progress in his political career and impressing all the right people. Her interfering mother-in-law was distracted by various societies and charity organisations that she had taken upon herself to crusade with. And her eldest daughter Anastasia was doing very well in school, …

TS4 Blog: Sanguine in the City

I finally decided to grab the bull by the horns (or should that be bite the bull by the neck?) and give the old bat-brains a whirl. I guess TS2 Nightlife and TS3 Late Night have pre-programmed my brain to think that a city is a good place for vampires to hang out. I mean, …

The Thompson Family: Snap Happy

Gemma was so excited! It was the weekend and she was going to visit a park she'd never been to before! It had a SPACESHIP!!! She ran to find her big brother. 'Karl! Karl! Are you coming to the park with me!?' 'Of course!' cried Karl dramatically, 'I wouldn't miss the chance to go... TO …

The Thompson Family: SHENANIGANS!!!

William got up early. He had been up late, talking with his wife about her day at work. He was concerned by what she had told him and had been unable to sleep. He rolled out of bed, and tucked the covers around his wife's gently snoring body to keep her warm. Slipping out of …
