Updated: 2/10/2025
It just occurred to me that I have four Youtube exclusive playthroughs now – and I only published a modlist for one of them. Granted, the Not So Berry only uses my “standard” mods, so it doesn’t need a page, but my Khinah Timeline Adventure challenge playthrough, and my Ultimate Decades one definitely do need a list.
If you were out of the loop, the link to the playlist for this challenge is here:

My Tracking Spreadsheet (will have spoilers!) is here:

And finally, the Family Tree is here (again, spoilers!):

Hello! I am sorry I’ve been sort of MIA recently. Partially it’s been because of health issues – both mental and physical, partially because I’ve just been so busy, and in a large part because of the blow that finding out all the images were messed up on my stories did to me. I truly just didn’t know what to do about it. For that matter, I’m still not sure exactly what I’ll be doing about the large part of them. HOWEVER – I have finally taken the time to assess exactly what’s wrong with them, and what it will need to fix them. (More on that below.) Health issues, as well, have been solved, and things are once again going really well for me. I have also mostly concluded a major “upgrade” to my streaming and filming set-up, which was the large part of being too busy to even consider what was going on with my website. With this “upgrade” in its finishing stages, I feel like I really am in need of doing some serious assessing and updating/upgrading on this website…. so, without any further blabbering from me, here’s the updates:

Updated: 9/1/2024
I have started another youtube playthrough – this time with the “aim” to surpass 100 generations with a single family. The plan is to work through several challenges back to back, using the heirs to start the next one. I started with the Live for Something challenge by alien nooboo. The challenges I will (most likely) be attempting after that, in order, are:
My goal with this playthrough is to get to know my sims by using mods to make the gameplay as realistic as I can, and just to enjoy the game. Aging will be set to “long” for the duration, and I will age up sims early should the storyline or the challenge need it.

Yes, I also have a youtube channel!! In the last few months, I have started posting some Youtube-Exclusive (in other words, they are not Streamed on Twitch first) Let’s Play series. This is, honestly, where MOST of my Sims 4 content is going, and I would VERY much appreciate a subscription (it FREE!) there as I’m working really really hard (and very slowly) towards getting to being monetized on Youtube (which is quite a bit tougher than on Twitch, I will say!) All of my Exclusive Let’s Play’s post first thing each morning, at 9 AM eastern US time.
Current & Coming Let’s Play series include:
- Thrall’s Backlog Bash 1: Action Adventure games – currently playing Assassin’s Creed Black Flag
- Thrall’s Backlog Bash 2: Survival Games – continuing my Subnautica “Base in Every Biome” Series
- Thrall’s Backlog Bash 3: Management/ Simulation games – starting with a Megaquarium Campaign playthrough!
- Thrall’s Backlog Bash 3: (Bonus) Project Hospital Modded Mega-Hospital Let’s Play (playlist here)
- Thrall’s Backlog Bash 4: Role-Playing Games – starting with God of War Series (yes, I know the early games aren’t RPGs!)
- Thrall’s Backlog Bash 5: Strategy & City Builders – starting with an old favorite of mine, Majesty: The Fantasy Kingdom sim (campaign playthrough)
- Thrall’s Backlog Bash 6: Adventure/ Retro/ Puzzle/ Point-and-Click – starting with a remake of my first-ever video game, Colossal Cave!
- Jaynie’s Gems – separate series in tribute to my bestie, RainyJaynie – starting with Creatures of Ava!
Retired or Paused Let’s Play series include:
- Sims 4 Khinah Timeline Adventure Challenge Let’s Play (playlist here)
- Sims 4 Turner Legendary Legacy Challenge Let’s Play (playlist here)
- Sims 4 Thatcher Ultimate Decades Challenge Let’s Play (playlist here)
- Sims 4 Extended Not-So-Berry Challenge Let’s Play (playlist here)
Other series that are planned:
- An “Old West” period Decades Hard Mode Challenge
- This will be a continuation of the story of the McPherson’s from “McPherson’s Mess” story on this blog. This will fill the Monday slot that’s missing from the above schedule – but will not be starting it until I (one) finish building the world for this challenge, because I’m building it mostly from scratch… and (two) I finish writing an addition to my ruleset for the Decades Hard Mode adaptation that has rules for the 1850s through the 1890s where the challenge usually starts.
- A Build A World Challenge
- This will be a restart of the challenge I originally started on this blog. Will be starting this one after I finish the Build A World rules. (And hopefully, after I finish the Super-Sim Challenge or Project Hospital Playthrough.)
Other Youtube notes:
This is also where I post (mostly for storage and a record of what I’ve done) my old raw video footage recorded from my Twitch streams. These all post later in the day than my Exclusive content, usually at 12PM. The fun part of this is that having these posted means that if you really fall in love with one of my on-stream challenges, you can go back and see where it started. Hopefully eventually I’ll catch up to where I am currently, since I’m trying to publish at least one video per day on this channel, but there are times that I don’t have the time on Sunday to get things organized for that week. The only editing I’m doing for these is splitting up videos that are either too long or are based on more than one topic (and therefore need to be included in more than one playlist). Feel free to toss me a subscription and peruse the videos at your leisure!
Below, I include a gallery of all my most recent posts, but I have a good number of sorted playlists on my channel as well. Currently, I’m about a year behind on posting VODs, but I’m hoping to catch up in the next few months.
