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.

  • June 7th – 12th Schedule

    Bringing Back My Decades Challenge!

    • Monday, June 7th (1-5 PM EST): Dream Home Decorator Rags 2 Riches
    • Tuesday, June 8th (1-5 PM EST): Dream Home Decorator Rags 2 Riches
    • Wednesday, June 9th (12-3 PM EST): Building Stream
    • Wednesday, June 9th (5-9 PM EST): RainbowSins Challenge (Orange Gluttony Generation)
    • Thursday, June 10th (1-5 PM EST): Stream Hard Home Decades Challenge – 1900’s
    • Friday, June 11th (1-5 PM EST): Stream Hard Home Decades Challenge – 1900’s (*may be a little late starting, hubby has a morning Dr. appt, but I’ll be on ASAP after)
    • Saturday, June 12th (1-5 PM EST): Stream Hard Home Decades Challenge – 1900’s

    Also coming up:

    • Celebration Stream: My Gallery Downloads are at 9150+, and creeping ever closer to 10,000. When I hit 10k I will be scheduling a celebration stream during which I will be giving away some packs. At least two stuff packs of your choice (must be a follower of mine on Twitch, and must be on PC with Origin or Steam), and possibly more than just the two stuff packs. The stream will probably be a build-a-long (my first) where I give everyone (including me) a prompt and some specifications, and we all build. A couple weeks after that stream, I’ll do a tour stream where we can all show off our build-a-long builds!
    • SimNaNo: During the month of July, I have a blog event happening for one of the forum groups I’m a part of – basically a Sim version of National Novel Writing Month. Basically, you choose some personal goals to get to, either a certain number of posts, or pictures, or words within the month. Then, throughout the month, you post on the forums links to your blog posts (either story form or commentary, I don’t think it matters which) and everyone cheers each other on. It’s really a lot of fun, in all the right ways. In the past two previous year’s events, I have achieved massive success – last year I topped 50,000 words published in a month, the year before more than 30,000. Now, I don’t know if I’m going to shoot for the medal for 50k words again (there’s also a bonus forum medal for 25k words, which seems more realistic), but I am definitely participating in the event. (Those interested in the event for themselves are welcome to check it out on the boolprop forums (https://www.boolprop.net/viewtopic.php?f=302&t=7251) Combining this with keeping up my streaming schedule, however, will be interesting. Some people have expressed interest in me actually streaming my game play and picture taking strategy for my daily story posts for the event. Doing this would also allow me to get things done with “less” stress. However, I don’t know if this is something everyone would be interested in, or whether I should restrict something like this to just a couple days a week. Will probably put a discussion topic or vote about it on my discord, or you’re free to comment on this post on my blog with comments about this. This event will not affect shell tours or the above mentioned celebration stream and it’s later tours!
    • Golden Plumbob awards: on those same forums, I recently found out that several of my Sims blog stories have been nominated for awards based on last year’s blog postings. I’m incredibly flattered by it, and wanted to share the graphic I was gifted:

    • Also: do not forget that we have two build challenges going at this time:

  • Half & Half Shell Launched!

    June 2, 2021

    As of tonight, Moving Walls is over, and tours were AMAZING. We had eight turn ins, and they were all really well done (and no, one was not mine – I got stuck on mine and didn’t finish it!) Remember, if you didn’t get yours done in time, you are welcome to turn it (or any shell of mine) in late, and just come to any stream, and I will tour it for free (i.e. no channel points needed) then.

    But, on to the topic you all have been waiting for. The new shell challenge for June is now live! It’s called Half & Half Shell, and is tagged with #thrallshell5. It’s going to be a lot of fun. Due date is first Wed. of July, the 7th, at 5 PM EST.

    Also, remember, there’s also my Junk House renovation live at the moment, tours are scheduled for June 16th. If you haven’t finished yours, and you read this.. change your hash tag from #onesim to #thrallonesim so it’s easier to find, apparently #onesim is pretty popular already.

    Dream Home Decorator & Shell Tour Week!

    • Monday, May 31st (1-5 PM EST): Building stream. I plan to get some channel point redemptions done, then work on my Moving Walls Shell (probably). Either that or make a new sim for Tuesday’s new challenge.
    • Tuesday, June 1st (1-5 PM EST): Based on the vote on discord, we will be starting a brand new challenge – Rags to Riches based on the new Dream Home Decorator pack! I will be online as soon as the new pack downloads on my computer to get it started!
    • Wednesday, June 2nd (12-3 PM EST): Building Stream
    • Wednesday, June 2nd (5-9 PM EST): SHELL TOUR DAY!! I will also be debuting my next shell challenge (Called Half & Half) at the end of stream!
    • Thursday, June 3rd (1-5 PM EST): Dream Home Decorator Rags to Riches
    • Friday, June 4th (1-5 PM EST): Dream Home Decorator Rags to Riches
    • Saturday, June 5th (1-5 PM EST): Dream Home Decorator Rags to Riches

    If we get bored with Rags to Riches (doubtful), we’ll switch to the next Thurs-Sat challenge, my Hard Mode Decades Challenge.

  • May 17th – 23rd Schedule

    May 16, 2021

    Livestream:

    Monday the 17th (1-5 PM EST): Hoarder’s House Challenge
    Tuesday the 18th (1-5 PM EST): Hoarder’s House Challenge
    Wednesday the 19th (5-9 PM EST): Rainbow Sins Challenge
    Thursday the 20th (1-5 PM EST): Timeline Adventure Challenge
    Friday the 21st (1-5 PM EST): Timeline Adventure Challenge
    Saturday the 22nd (1-5 PM EST): Timeline Adventure Challenge

    At some point in the week, I may do a building stream instead of the listed stream because I have a ton of shell challenges on my list…. (The other option is a bonus stream at some point this week, but we’ll see.)

    Blog:

    Also, will be working to get back to my other blog stories this week because I REALLY miss my Decades challenges, and they’re next after this rotation.

    “One Sim” will remain a once a day posting thing, and I have a ton of fun things planned story-wise for upcoming days and weeks. I will continue to allow game play happenings to affect the story, but I definitely have some plans that will be happening to Jazmyn’s story-line whether or not anything happens to point to it in game play.

    Ongoing Shell Challenges:

  • May 10 – May 16 Schedule

    May 10, 2021

    Just a head’s up, I will be taking the end off the week “off”, as I have my second Covid shot on Thursday, and I have no idea how I’m going to feel the following couple of days. If I do stream on those days, we’ll just consider them bonus streams, but at this time I’m simply planning on taking the time to veg, recover, and relax. Anyway, here’s the current schedule:

    Monday, May 10: 1 PM – 5 PM EST: Hoarder’s House save
    Tuesday, May 11: 1 PM – 5 PM EST: Hoarder’s House save
    Wednesday, May 12: 12 PM – 3 PM EST: Building stuff; then 5 PM – 9 PM EST: RainbowSins save
    Thursday, May 13th – Sunday May 16th: “vacation”
    .. we’ll see you for sure again on Monday, May 17th.

  • May 3 – May 8: News and Schedule

    May 2, 2021

    With the Launch of my One Sim project officially over this past weekend, I didn’t have time to do any of my other blog stories today, so I’ll get back to them next week. I do apologize, but there’s been so much going on lately!


    Upcoming Twitch Streams:

    Monday, May 3th: 1 PM – 5 PM EST: Hoarder’s House Challenge
    Tuesday, May 4th: 1 PM – 5 PM EST: Hoarder’s House Challenge
    Wednesday, May 5th: 5 PM – 9 PM EST: Full Humpty Dumpty Shell tours – including the home and shell it came from, and the build I did for it. Will also be debuting the “Moving Walls” shell challenge!!
    Thursday, May 6th: 1 PM – 5 PM EST: Timeline Adventure Challenge, Medieval Gen 5
    Friday, May 7th: 1 PM – 5 PM EST: Timeline Adventure Challenge, Medieval Gen 5
    Saturday, May 8th: 1 PM – 5 PM EST: Timeline Adventure Challenge, Medieval Gen 5


    I am considering starting a short Wed afternoon stream for building (on weeks I don’t have my chiropractor appointment), but that will probably vary from week to week.

    Also: Remember I have a bunch of fun channel point redemptions now, including one that lets you torture me with a house shell of your design for me to turn into a house on stream, and one that changes the challenge I play Thursday – Saturday!

  • This week – Schedule and News: (4/19-24/21)

    April 18, 2021

    Stream Schedule:

    Monday 1PM – 5PM EST – Hoarder’s House Challenge (Making the sims and getting started.)
    Tuesday 1PM – 5PM EST – Hoarder’s House Challenge (continuing play)
    Wednesday 5PM – 9PM EST – RainbowSins Challenge – starting the Orange Gluttony generation!
    Thursday 1PM – 5PM EST – To Be Decided: if I can get my Medieval builds done by this day, I’ll start on the Medieval Gen 5 of my Timeline Adventure Challenge. If the builds aren’t done, I’ll probably finish them on stream.
    Friday 1PM – 5PM EST – Timeline Adventure Challenge – Medieval Gen 5 Gameplay
    Saturday 1PM – 5PM EST – Timeline Adventure Challenge – Medieval Gen 5 Gameplay

    Notes: This will be a new thing. Hoarder’s Challenge on Monday – Tuesday until I get it done, then back to whichever challenge I’m on for Thursday – Saturday. Wednesday will remain the odd man out because it’s an evening stream, and I’ll be doing RainbowSins or shell tours (on the first Wed of each month) then. I am hoping to get my Medieval builds done by Thursday, but I can’t guarantee it, because I still have two lots to finish at this time.

    Blog Schedule:

    Good news! I’m trying something new this week, and starting this week, I’ll be setting aside my Sundays to play and write my blog posts up… then will be scheduling what I get done throughout the following week. I haven’t figured out the exact posting schedule, but I’m thinking it’ll be 3 or 4 posts per week in whatever rotation I’m currently playing. (For reference, I’m on Rotation One. Which means – Tails of Sulani Mermaid Legacy, Master Simmer, and my Drifter Challenge are going to get their next gens finished before I move to the next rotation.) If I get three posts, it’ll be Monday / Wednesday / Friday; if four, it’ll be Monday / Tuesday / Thursday / Friday.

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!
