Schedules

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.

    August 12, 2024

    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:

  • Semi-Finals Voting for Birthday Stream!

    December 18, 2023

    My birthday’s coming up.. and I’m giving everyone who wants to vote a chance to affect what I’ll be doing on my 12 hour stream on the 28th of Dec. (It’s also my 3rd twitchaversary!) If you’re interested in voting, it’s in the announcement section of my discord: https://discord.gg/XweHZmQKVX

    If you have an aversion to discord, feel free to use the poll here. (I’ll add votes here to the ones on my discord!)

    First, a quick description of each thing:

    1. Crowd Controlled Skyrim
      • We all know what Skyrim is.. and some of you have even seen Bruj do his silly Crowd Control Skyrim editions.. well, I decided that maybe it was time for me to try it. Chat will be able to affect my game as I play.
    2. Interactive Baldur’s Gate 3
      • Chat chooses dialogue options and I follow them no matter what they are!
    3. Sims 4 – Chaos wheel gameplay and/or building
      • My choice as to what sounds good at any one given time, but I’ll have chaos wheel redeems set up for both so you guys can mess with my game.
    4. Cult of the Lamb (Interactive game)
      • Chat gets to be enter to be members of the cult. I’m not sure about this one, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about the game as a whole.
    5. Community Tours in Sims 4
      • Cheap community tours in Sims 4, just having a good time seeing what everyone is capable of building, and getting new ideas and inspiration. I’d be building in between redeems, probably (if there’s time to!)
    6. Chat-chosen apartment themes in Sims 4
      • Also redeem-based.. but Redeemer picks a theme, and when each apartment building is full, We start a new one and upload the full one. (I’d have the buildings built beforehand)

    There will also be some side activities… which may or may not include:

    • trivia about thrall
    • stream bingo (things happen on stream, people check off bingo cards)
    • diedrate (alcohol shots) redeems (maybe?)
    • words on stream or gartic (drawing) for breaks
    • an anniversary trailer (provided I have time to make one)
    Now, the fun part.. the voting. Vote for as many options as you like. Poll closes Saturday Night, Top 3 options go on to finals voting (next week).

  • Birthday/Anniversary Stream Voting!

    December 10, 2023

    My birthday’s coming up.. and I’m giving everyone who wants to vote a chance to affect what I’ll be doing on my 12 hour stream on the 28th of Dec. (It’s also my 3rd twitchaversary!) If you’re interested in voting, it’s in the announcement section of my discord: https://discord.gg/XweHZmQKVX

    2. Interactive Baldur’s Gate 3
      • Chat chooses dialogue options and I follow them no matter what they are!
    3. Crowd Controlled Subnautica
      • You all have no idea how much this terrifies me. But I love Subnautica, and I thought this might be silly and fun.. if a little terrifying at the same time.
    4. Crowd Controlled Roller Coaster Tycoon (yeah, the first one)
      • Chat gets to – again – mess with my game. Should be super silly and fun.
    5. Crowd Controlled Cities Skylines 1
      • This could honestly be chaos. But Who knows. Maybe I’ll get a city out of it?
    6. Sims 4 – Chaos wheel gameplay and/or building
      • My choice as to what sounds good at any one given time, but I’ll have chaos wheel redeems set up for both so you guys can mess with my game.
    7. Cult of the Lamb (Interactive game)
      • Chat gets to be enter to be members of the cult. I’m not sure about this one, but I’ve heard a lot of good things about the game as a whole.
    8. Community Tours in Sims 4
      • Cheap community tours in Sims 4, just having a good time seeing what everyone is capable of building, and getting new ideas and inspiration. I’d be building in between redeems, probably (if there’s time to!)
    9. Sims Speed builds on Redeems.
      • This also terrifies me a little, but it might be fun. I’d have two redeems – one for a shell speed build (in other words, I don’t have to furnish the inside), and one for a furnished room build. Redeemer picks theme.
    10. Chat-chosen apartment themes in Sims 4
      • Also redeem-based.. but Redeemer picks a theme, and when each apartment building is full, We start a new one and upload the full one. (I’d have the buildings built beforehand)

    There will also be some side activities… which may or may not include:

    • trivia about thrall

  • January 2023 Twitch Schedule

    December 29, 2022

    I will be continuing to keep the discord events schedule updated as much as I can (or remember to), but this year, I plan to post schedules on a monthly basis – and most of them will be pretty much the same. If there are major changes on any given week, I will notify on twitter or discord. Additionally, I will be launching my next shell challenge (teaser on the graphic below) on the 1st, so watch for that post!

    I did intend to start Asylum back up this month, but I think what I’ll do is set up a promotion graphic to try to get some people to make sims for it (because as we all know, I hate making sims!).. and I’ll go back to finish my Gen 3 of the RainbowSins challenge for January. As soon as we hit Gen 4, I will then start up the next season of Asylum (hopefully with a bunch of sims I didn’t have to make!) My guess is, it will start in February, but I will keep you all informed as to launch dates as I get closer to it.

    Also: I do still have some Channel Point builds to do, Furnishing the Ugly Build Challenge, as well as the Restrictions and the Backwards Challenges. I also want to finish the Serious, Silly, and Spooky builds from my birthday stream, so it may be a few weeks before I get back to Supernatural Saturday. Sorry for those (including me) who really like it!

    One last note.. what do you all think of the new schedule format? I wanted to make it easy to see which game was where, and try to make it so that the schedule is consistent from week to week. Obviously, if I need a Mental Health Day, I will take it, and let you know on discord and Twitter!

  • Dec 19th-31st Holiday Twitch Schedule

    December 18, 2022

    If you did not notice, My schedule is now set up on the “Events” at the top left of the Discord, taken automatically from my Google Calendar, and will reflect last-minute cancellations (as well as me posting about them on Twitter). Hopefully, this will make it a bit easier to know what’s coming!

    Also: I do still have some Channel Point builds to do, Furnishing the Ugly Build Challenge, as well as the Restrictions and the Backwards Challenges. Will do those after the first of the year, since I ran out of time due to mouse issues (which will be solved by the 20th).

    Also: RainyJaynie and I launched our newest shell last week, see the end of this post for more information!

    Notes on this coming week: I decided to take a bit of a Sims break. I have quite a bit of Sims filming to do off-stream, so to prevent burnout, I’m going to dive head first into Crusader Kings 3, my #6 Current game – and one that’s perilously easy for me to get lost in. If I get bored, I also have several other new games I may or may not play. We’ll see.

    Lastly, I want to highlight some upcoming dates (posting these on discord, too):

    • November 19th: Ugly House Build Challenge

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!
