I have officially finished slogging through re-categorizing and updating links on EVERY. SINGLE. POST. on the blog. (around 800 of them!) All are updated for colors, links, and categories. If you happen to find one I missed or messed up on from this point on, PLEASE let me know asap with a comment on that […]

Nostalgic Game #24 – Eternal Sonata Wrap-up

I didn’t remember how many and how long the cut scenes were in this game. While it’s not bad while you’re playing, watching it makes it really quite boring. Add to it that the second day I tried to stream it, we kept getting crashes… and this did not live up to my memory of the game, unfortunately. Would I still recommend this game? Sure, if you’re not streaming it! (LOL) Just be prepared to sit through a lot of long cut scenes… and play through individual boss fights a few times until you get it just right.

Current Game #24 – Project Highrise

We’ve already visited with SimTower, and I would be remiss if I didn’t include this game, which is considered by many to be it’s spiritual successor. There have been other tower games, but none have captured the spirit and addictiveness of the original as closely as this one did. I’ve put nearly 100 hours into this game, and I can honestly say I really enjoy it. It’s not the same game as the first by any means – it can’t be left overnight to run to get you cash for building – but it certainly has the same spirit. The expansions for the game have added some really fun features that the original game never thought of, and increased the challenge of keeping a successful tower going. On top of that, this game has scenarios that can challenge and engage you as the player in a number of different ways.

Nostalgic Game #24 – Eternal Sonata

This is a game I got into just for the music, but I never regretted it. It’s based on the life and work of Polish pianist and composer Frédéric Chopin. The story is fictional and fantastical, but uses his music beautifully. I have put many hours into this game over the years, and it’s one […]

Current Game #25 – Megaquarium Wrap-up

I had SOOO much fun with this. And, apparently, so did my viewers, because when given the opportunity to choose between sims and a third day of Megaquarium, they chose this game. (See below for links to all three VODs if you missed it!) Overall, this was a really fun time, and provided me with hours of off-stream play this week, too (because I just couldn’t stop playing the game!!) – which meant I got very little else done this week. LOL. Which probably wasn’t a bad thing, it just means I needed a break. I adore this little game, and if you’re into management games, this is one you most definitely should pick up. You won’t regret it!!

Egyptian Temple & Town Lot

This is a lot built for my Timeline Adventure Challenge Egyptian Generation (Second part of Two). This is the part of the generation where they raise their family. Next week, I’ll post the residential lots, but I have SO many pictures of this main “commercial” lot (could be set as residential, too) that I felt adding more pictures would just be too many. This lot was originally just the temple, but I ended up adding one of kerrykitty’s shell challenges to the side to make it a village, too. I did duplicate some of the buildings… but it fit exactly what I wanted for a village.

Unplayed Honorable Mentions – World of Warcraft

Let’s just say I don’t know how many months of my life have been lost in this game. I literally cannot even fathom it. This was the game that pulled me out of my obsession with Asheron’s Call. It’s also the game that allowed me to meet my hubby. So, there’s definitely a lot of […]

Llama Community Center

voted for by chat. They decided where, and what, and how I was building, and I went from there. So, a strange shaped modern-ish Community Center build is what we ended up with. It got included in the save file because it’s pretty darn impressive. (And because … how many four-part builds do I really want to have to do?!) This one is designed for the Sprucewood Square lot in Evergreen Harbor.

I am a 47 year old American wife, mother, and gamer. I’ve lived in the Midwest most of my life, and enjoy it for the changing seasons. My favorite movie is Labyrinth, my favorite game is Sims 4, and I have tattoos related to both. My favorite colors are purple, red, and green. When I’m not playing games (which is rare) I also enjoy reading and crafting. I’m also an animal lover, and have had many types of pets over the years. Currently, I have a dog named Cassie who is a Jack Russel / Beagle mix and five young fancy rats (all of whom are rescues). I run this Sims 4 Blog where I post screenshots and stories about the different challenges I play. Also here are the Sims 4 challenges I've written, and a place for me to store all the Sims 4 knowledge I've gotten over the years. I am also a Sims 4/variety streamer on Twitch for my mental health, fun, and to meet new people. I am also in the EA Creator Network and an Ubisoft Partner, which is a dream come true! I look forward to meeting you!
