SimLit Stories

Sometimes a picture just brings to mind a storyline. Like this one… Where’s the bunny going? And why? Is he leaving his farm family behind to explore the wild, or is he off to find a little girl bunny and bring her home to meet the family? … Other times, it’s something that happens, or a character (or sim) that really just speaks to you. This section is where I’m at my most creative. It’s also, by far, the hardest to write. So – I have to be in the right mindset to write the stories listed here… and sometimes I get fully stuck in writer’s block mode for a while. So I can’t promise these will be updated with anything close to regularity… but each and every story listed below was crafted with love, and holds a special place in my heart. (and imagination!) I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoy writing them!

Occult Stories

Occult Stories
I've never thought of myself as particularly interested in the occult, but it so happens... I have quite a number of Sims Stories that are based on Occult sims. So perhaps I should redefine interest in the occult...? Anyway, These have been some of my more popular stories, and I thoroughly enjoy writing them. This series of stories started with Tails of Sulani, my Mermaid Legacy, way back when Island Living first came out. When Spellcasters came out, Broomstick Files also became a thing. Somewhere in there, I also ran across an inspiring Vampire challenge, and Foreshadowed Sunset was born. Of the three, Foreshadowed Sunset is the one with the darkest occult themes, and probably ought to come with a content warning. Tails of Sulani is told journal-style from the matriarch's point of view, and is mostly lighthearted family fun, as is Broomstick Files. My newest occult story, Luna's Lunacy, is based on the new werewolves, and will probably need content warnings as well on some chapters. Why don't I have an alien or a ghost story? Who knows. But that could change! I hope you enjoy!

Historical Stories

Historical Stories
Now, history has always been one of my favorite subjects in school, and it's remained a fascination as I've gotten older. So it only makes sense that a good portion of my stories are based in history - even as far back as the Stone Ages. It's also a good bet that I'll eventually add to this total, as well. Currently, my most in-depth story of this bunch is A Tangled Yarn, which is a Decades challenge that I have really gotten attached to. It's also one of my toughest story to write, because it often requires several different "photo shoots" per chapter, rather than just photos taken through gameplay. I also have a Simerican Settlers challenge in The McPherson Mess, and a historian-difficulty History Challenge story called Island Spirits. Island Spirits also holds the distinction of being my ONLY story to have its own spin-off. I fell in love with a "spare" child in Island Spirits, and at the same time had been contemplating starting a story-based playthrough of my Timeline Adventure Challenge... so it only made sense to have Saazul set off on her own and start a new story. This story, as opposed to most of my other stories.. will be heavily "decorated" with period CC and mods. As a rule, I don't use CC, but I decided very early on in planning this story that this one would be different. I wanted the immersion and the "props" to go with the story. This story will differ from the others in one other key way - it will be played LIVE on Twitch and Youtube. For more information, see The Timeline Children page! I hope you find something here to enjoy!

Modern-Day Stories

Modern-Day Stories
These are stories set in the modern-day. The only ones posted here are ones that will be continuing or ones that are currently being worked on. At present, there are two of them listed. The first one, Adventures with Jaz -- is currently (as of 2/26) being re-worked, and re-written into a Simstagram story. I will leave the original story up, but the main page for it may change to reflect the direction the story is going. The second story is BRAND NEW as of this February 2026 update to this page, and is a Challenge-based playthrough that I'm writing as a story. It is my NEWEST blog story, and the only current blog story (until I fix the older ones that will be continuing). The founder is also this page's featured image.

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!
