IllusoryThrall's Sims 4 Hub
 - Challenges, Tips & Stories

As I believe I mentioned, when I started streaming, this was the challenge I started with. It’s a “test” playthrough of a challenge I wrote called the Timeline Adventure Challenge. It has been a super fun playthrough for the most part, with a lot of surprises along the way. (Like triplets in the Stone Age – that all grew up to roll fussy as toddlers…!!!) The player below has my currently uploaded VODs in a playlist of just this challenge – so if you’re interested, feel free to watch!

With all that being said, I will be adding more information to this page, as well as some more pictures, but doing a full page write-up on the challenge wasn’t really something on my to-do list for the site relaunch. (In other words, I’ll get to it.)

My schedule has changed quite a lot since I started streaming, but I think I finally have it in a place where I can say it’s pretty stable. At this time, I publish a main schedule monthly with any exceptions listed, and then announce the Game of the Week on each Sunday as the week starts. Anytime the posted schedule changes, I post both here on my blog, and to twitter and discord so everyone knows what’s happening.

As much as I love building, in a way, I love gameplay more. So it only makes sense that I tend towards playing gameplay challenges on stream. I have found a certain freedom in doing challenges on-screen, because it means it’s captured for all time whether or not I took pictures or notes. I have even done some of my blogged challenges on stream, trying to remember to take pictures, then publishing them later… but I’ve found that harder to do than one would think. The difficulty is in remembering to take the pictures while concentrating on playing and interacting with chat at the same time. I am trying to get caught up on publishing my old recorded videos on these challenges to youtube so everyone can see where each challenge started from, but there’s a lot to go through, and setting things up is time-consuming. (More on that on my youtube page.)

On these pages, I’m going to write up descriptions on each challenge, and where it came from, hopefully adding more info as time goes on. I will also link the youtube playlist of the beginning of each challenge. Of all these challenges, only one of them can be considered “complete” – and that one may get a reprise eventually (the Hoarders challenge). The rest have quite a ways to go. I try to rotate between the most important ones on my “Sims Challenge” stream days (Currently – Thursday and Fridays). Some are currently retired, or were just temporary challenges – and a couple of those I didn’t even bother listing. (The Dream Home Decorator rags to riches I started at one point is the one that comes to mind here.) For obvious reasons, this list may change at any given time, but I’ll try to keep it up to date.

This is the first time I’m publishing a monthly schedule instead of weekly – should anything change, I will update on blog, discord, and twitter.

Every Sunday, I will be publishing the Game of the Week in the same places. Also: just published the January Shell Challenge, so check that out, as well!

Fun Stuff:

Over the next few weeks, I want to start doing some feature posts on the channel point redeems and builds I have done lately here on my blog. Initially, I had plans to try to hurry myself through the process and get them ALL up before the first, but realistically, I just don’t have that much time. So: Expect to see a post or two in the next couple days to start off the category… maybe. If not, I’ll start posting them after I make all the new changes here live on the 31st of December.

On another note: I wanted to point out that I am crossing things off on the to-do list I published a couple days ago, so if you’re interested in seeing my progress, and how close I might be to publishing all the new stuff, that’s where to check on it.

Meanwhile, I’ll also put up my graphics for my other upcoming events:

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!
