Tuesday, August 31st (1-5 PM EST): Building a pub for the Farm Legacy Challenge
Wednesday, September 1st (1-3 PM EST):NO STREAM – this is the twitch walk-out day
Wednesday, September 1st (5-9 PM EST):NO STREAM – this is the twitch walk-out day – if you need to contact me, do so via discord, I will not be on Twitch at all all day on this day. (Also may have my computer pulled apart putting in a new solid state hard drive to replace my cluttered and over-filled main drive, so be patient with me if you do need to contact me.)
Thursday, September 2nd (1-5 PM EST): Farm Legacy Challenge
Friday, September 3rd (1-5 PM EST): Hard Mode Decades Challenge
Saturday, September 4th (1-5 PM EST):Save File Saturday – this is going to be a weekly thing now – working on build(s) for my save file once a week. I realized I can’t ever get this done if I don’t start working on it, so… here we go!
Sunday, September 5th: No stream
Fun Stuff:
First off, I want to thank everyone who came to the first ever community night! We had a lot of fun! In fact, we had so much fun, I now plan to make this a monthly thing. Expect to see a Community Games stream every last Saturday of the month.
Notice on my Youtube: I officially have videos scheduled for the next week, and more that are sorted and ready to upload to continue the trend. I know several of you are anxious to see the old VODs from when I started streaming, so I’m working on getting them actually going up there instead of just sitting around on my hard drive.
Community Challenges! – I have all three of my possible challenges up and ready for funding (i.e. wasting your points on… ) Feel free to fund whichever you want first, or keep things wild and interesting by funding all three each day. Basically, you’re able to spend a maximum of 2k channel points per stream day on each of these challenges. *OF NOTE: I am thinking about considering one or both of the first two challenges on this list as complete and putting them on the schedule in the coming month. This would mean your points would be getting refunded… Let me know what you think about this idea in the Announcements channel on my Discord.
Chat dictates my build – Once this is funded, I will schedule a special stream where chat gets to vote on every little thing about my build. Type, size, packs used, themes, and more!
Put Thrall on the Chaos Wheel – Once funded, I schedule a special gameplay stream where chat redeems wheel spins to add chaos. Wheel will be designed by me with lots of chaotic things to put my sims through. (if you’re interested in what kind of things will be on the wheel, I’ll be using this reddit post as my inspiration: https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims/comments/7gxyl7/random_sim_events_list/)
Sims Murder Party: 8 Rainbow sims competing to see who lives the longest. Chat redeems to add either helpful or murderous items to my build, as well as other chaos redeems. This idea comes from BritishSimerTime‘s stream – and as a chat participant.. it was SO much fun.
After these three are done, the next challenge(s) to be added are:
My new Homes for Gnomes Village project: Another Community Challenge that, once funded, will be an interactive Shell challenge and special build a long stream (starting in August at the earliest) where I will give everyone participating (whether there for the build a long or just signed up via the Google Doc I will set up) a 15 by 15 outdoor room with a shell on it to decorate based on prompts I will be providing. Themes will be based on the base game gnomes in Sims 4, and the shells will be built by me to match. I will spin a wheel for each participant live on stream to see which gnome and shell you get, and your job will be to decorate it in the month following. Lastly, I will put together all builds into a huge downloadable Gnome Village lot (or lots if we have enough participants) and we will schedule a tour of all the builds! Again, you’ll have a full month to put your build together as a participant, and they will all be “tiny homes”, so this should not be too time-consuming or difficult for anyone. Depending on how this works (or doesn’t), I may do more challenges based on this general idea.

Friday, August 27th (1-5 PM EST): Farm Legacy Challenge (Would like to get some work done on the second generation!)
Saturday, August 28th (1-5 PM EST):Special Stream – Our first-ever Community Games Night! Let’s all get together and have a good time with this!

I will hopefully be getting back to the decades challenge next week, but this week I really wanted to do some other stuff, like the Farm legacy. ALSO: Tours MAY be postponed an extra week for our shell, I’m considering being part of the no-stream on Sept. 1st with the protest on twitch against hate raids. Will let you know!

Looking ahead to the week after, I’m planning to schedule our first ever Community Game Night on EITHER August 25th (the wed evening stream), or in the afternoon/evening on August 28th (Saturday). Putting up a poll on discord to decide which day it will be. Also: yes, I realize that the community challenge for the Community Game Night wasn’t completed all the way. I decided since it’s taking so long for all three, I am going to refund all points for it to you all and consider it completed. If you’re paying close attention, you’ll notice that there’s a new third Community Challenge added in, with a lower point target.

In Search of Streamers to Collaborate with: I am also hunting for more streamers who are willing to collaborate on Twitch stream challenges: For more info, contact me on Twitch or Discord.
Inside/Outside Shell Challenges: This involves you building a set of rooms and decorating them, me building a shell and all the landscaping, and then switching said builds. I would then put together your rooms into a house and landscape it, and you would decorate the shell I made.
Chaos Wheel Challenges: This involves doing a multi stream (or just both of us streaming at the same time) with both streamers coming up with their own wheel of “bad things” to do to the other person’s game and build. We start with a sim we’ve created and then play “Rags to Riches” style, with the “goal” being building a full house and having a family. Each of us will get to pick our own things to put on the wheel. At the end of stream, both streamers upload their builds and families and wonder where it all went wrong. (LOL)
Blind Building Challenges: Again, a same-time stream, only this time it’s all about building. One person is building “blind”, without being able to see the other person’s screen. The other streamer builds a build, and directs their partner to build the same build with just verbal directions. At the end of stream, both partners upload their builds and laugh about how different they are.

Thursday, July 22nd (1-5 PM EST):Special Stream Alert – First Cottage Living Play Stream!! The plan is to go back to my Stream “Hard Mode” Decades Challenge, which is patiently waiting in the 1900s for their farm to get some animals. However, I reserve the right to make a new sim and just enjoy the new pack for this day if MCCC isn’t ready for me to play my Decades quite yet.
Friday, July 23rd (1-5 PM EST): By this point, MCCC should be ready, so I’ll be playing my “Hard Mode” Decades Challenge.
Saturday, July 24th (1-9 PM EST): More Decades Challenge Play.
Sunday, July 25th: No stream
*As you can see, everything is moved around with the 22nd of July as the “finish” date for a lot of things. As of the 22nd, the new pack is coming out, and I will also be stopping my current blog rotation of stories, and switching to “Rotation Two”: my Decades Challenge War, and the Diversity Experiment. Expect the week after this to go more or less back to “normal”.

Trying Something New!!
Monday, June 14th (1-5 PM EST): Testing out playing one of my blog challenges and seeing if I can get pictures and get ready for a post while streaming. Story in question: Tails of Sulani (my Mermaid Legacy)
Tuesday, June 15th (1-5 PM EST): Test Day 2: Tails of Sulani
There will be no early Wednesday stream, because I have my chiropractor appointment then.
Wednesday, June 16th (5-9 PM EST): Checking out any Junk House Renovations submitted, then working on my RainbowSins Challenge (Orange Gluttony Generation)
Thursday, June 17th (1-5 PM EST): Plum Gen 5 of my Not So Berry challenge
Friday, June 18th (1-5 PM EST): Plum Gen 5 of my Not So Berry challenge
Saturday, June 19th (1-5 PM EST): Plum Gen 5 of my Not So Berry challenge
Also coming up:
Celebration Stream: My Gallery Downloads are at 9350+, and creeping ever closer to 10,000. When I hit 10k I will be scheduling a celebration stream during which I will be giving away some packs. At least two stuff packs of your choice (must be a follower of mine on Twitch, and must be on PC with Origin or Steam), a game pack or two, and also one of the coming expansion pack. The stream will probably be a build-a-long (my first) where I give everyone (including me) a prompt and some specifications, and we all build. A couple weeks after that stream, I’ll do a tour stream where we can all show off our build-a-long builds!
SimNaNo: As I mentioned last week, this is coming up in July, and as I prepare for it, I’ll be trying to figure out how to increase my blogging for the month of July without dropping my streaming – because quite honestly, I love streaming and every one of you guys who shows up to hang out with me. I will be putting streaming my blog stories to a test this week, and see if it’s even possible (see Monday and Tuesday in the above schedule). This event will not affect shell tours or the above mentioned celebration stream and it’s later tours!
The new July 22nd Cottage Living expansion will be doing all sorts of fun things to my schedule, because I will be dropping pretty much anything I’m still working on to pull out my Decades challenges (both the blog ones and the stream one). If I have not finished the generations of my Drifter, Master Simmer, and Mermaid Legacy, (blogged stories) they will just have to wait until they come up in rotation again, and the same goes for my Stream Not So Berry.
Also: do not forget that we have two build challenges going at this time: (although the second is due wednesday!)
As of tonight, Moving Walls is over, and tours were AMAZING. We had eight turn ins, and they were all really well done (and no, one was not mine – I got stuck on mine and didn’t finish it!) Remember, if you didn’t get yours done in time, you are welcome to turn it (or any shell of mine) in late, and just come to any stream, and I will tour it for free (i.e. no channel points needed) then.
But, on to the topic you all have been waiting for. The new shell challenge for June is now live! It’s called Half & Half Shell, and is tagged with #thrallshell5. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Due date is first Wed. of July, the 7th, at 5 PM EST.
Also, remember, there’s also my Junk House renovation live at the moment, tours are scheduled for June 16th. If you haven’t finished yours, and you read this.. change your hash tag from #onesim to #thrallonesim so it’s easier to find, apparently #onesim is pretty popular already.
Dream Home Decorator & Shell Tour Week!
Monday, May 31st (1-5 PM EST): Building stream. I plan to get some channel point redemptions done, then work on my Moving Walls Shell (probably). Either that or make a new sim for Tuesday’s new challenge.
Tuesday, June 1st (1-5 PM EST): Based on the vote on discord, we will be starting a brand new challenge – Rags to Riches based on the new Dream Home Decorator pack! I will be online as soon as the new pack downloads on my computer to get it started!
Wednesday, June 2nd (12-3 PM EST): Building Stream
Wednesday, June 2nd (5-9 PM EST): SHELL TOUR DAY!! I will also be debuting my next shell challenge (Called Half & Half) at the end of stream!

Friday, June 4th (1-5 PM EST): Dream Home Decorator Rags to Riches

Streams This Next Week*: *As you can see, everything is moved around with the 22nd of July as the “finish” date for a lot of things. As of the 22nd, the new pack is coming out, and I will also be stopping my current blog rotation of stories, and switching to “Rotation Two”: my Decades […]
Trying Something New!! Monday, June 14th (1-5 PM EST): Testing out playing one of my blog challenges and seeing if I can get pictures and get ready for a post while streaming.

New Challenge Alert! Suggested by @micheleblue14 ! The house is on my gallery titled Junk House 2.0 (less junky version called Junk House) Upload using #onesim Due: June 16th for tours on my twitch channel at 5PM EST. No CC please.
Tonight was shell tours for Humpty Dumpty, and I have to say, you all really rose to the occasion. This was NOT an easy shell, so feel very proud of yourself if you even attempted it. I am absolutely blown away with all the amazing builds you did!! For those who are curious, I do […]
So, I had a concept for a shell challenge come to me one night while trying to sleep, and I planned on doing it as my next shell challenge, but later, it occurred to me that not everyone is going to want to try it (because it is rather evil). So I made a second […]
So, I built a shell on my twitch stream and am opening it up for everyone to do. It’s a base game shell, and is on a 50 by 50 lot. I used Oakenstead in Willow Creek. Rules: No changing the floorplan or outside shell of house. (terrain and landscaping is fine) No pack or budget […]
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!
