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.
Notes: I am writing my own rules for the asylum challenge, and there will be chat-interactive redeems that will affect the challenge to make it even more fun!
Also: Remember that next Wednesday is Spooky Shell tours and I’ll be introducing Shell Bingo, which is going to make the tours even more fun than they already are!
Fun Stuff:
Community Challenge! –
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.
Notes: Yes, this means the shell collab I’ve been teasing about for a few months will finally be getting launched. Look for more information on October 20th!

Coming Soon… My new Homes for Gnomes Village project: Another Community Challenge that, once funded This will be starting in November, and will NOT be a community challenge. Rather, it will be an interactive Shell challenge COLLAB where I will give everyone participating (people who sign up via a 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 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 – like maybe a Christmas Village in December?
Notes: Taking the week off of all stream prep and challenge and blog writing. Going to be visiting some of my currently active stream challenges. As noted, I will possibly be streaming all week. 🙂

Notes: As you all know, I’ve been having troubles with both my sleep and my Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (which are definitely related) – and, as noted on the schedule, I have an appointment on Tuesday. But, since I don’t know how I’ll feel on Monday, I cancelled stream. I may or may not feel up to it in the afternoon or evening – just watch twitter to see if I go live. If not, I will be back for sure on Wednesday evening for the beginning of a super-exciting line up of streams!

Notes: Still testing to see how a schedule with time off for blogging is going to work, but I have to say – it’s already starting to combat the burnout I have been feeling coming on lately. As you can see, Tuesday’s Blog day has me working on stream-able stuff, so I’ll be doing five streams instead of the four from last week. Also! I am extending my hours streamed on my four stream days to five instead of four. We’ll see how that goes.
Also: this schedule obviously doesn’t reflect my second channel, which I will likely be streaming on each evening (https://twitch.tv/thrallsnightoff/) .. Currently working on Assassin’s Creed Brotherhood!

Notes: Yes, this is a major change, I’m cutting back to four days a week streaming Sims. This is a TEST to see how it works out, and if it helps combat the burnout I have been feeling coming on lately. However, it will also give me some “creative time” that I have been sorely missing, and allow me to get some blogging stories out. On days that I’m working on a stream-able blog story, I will hop online and show you all what I have going on in the background, but the two I picked this week just aren’t really stream-able.

Fun Stuff:
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.

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.

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!

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!

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!
