New Legacy Challenge Let’s Play Series!

Hello everyone! I’m finally back to recording Sims 4 videos! It’s been a while since I’ve done this and I’m super excited to share my all new Legacy Challenge series with you!

I won’t be publishing videos too often (once or twice a week for now due to real-life hecticness) but I am super excited to get started with this new series. This playthrough will use all of the houses from my #LegacyHouseBuilds project so that you can see them in action. There will be a Fantasy novel naming theme and I am going to try my hardest to track points so you can see how well I do!

There are two ways to watch this new series! You can either watch it directly from this post (by clicking play on the player below) or you can watch it on my Youtube channel!

#LegacyHouseBuilds – Mansion Baron Tier 1 House Tour

Hello everyone! I have been busy making houses for the #LegacyHouseBuilds hashtag on the Sims 4 Gallery. Today’s house is the house that you will need to complete the first tier of the Mansion Baron aspiration. This house is also a solid option for a ~§50,000 Legacy house as it has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, plenty of space, and lots of skill up items. So if you have a Legacy Sim with the Mansion Baron Aspiration this is the house that you will need for the first tier, which is to have a house worth §50,000 as well 15 works of art. Below is a tour of the house!

Community Poll – Should Items from Packs Be Used in #LegacyHouseBuilds Houses?

Hi everyone! I have a curiosity question for those of you that are using the #LegacyHouseBuilds houses that I have been posting on the Sims 4 Gallery. At this point in time, I am only using items from the base game. But I am finding that this is really limiting my creativity with the houses.

Would anyone have a problem with me adding in items from packs (expansions, game packs, and stuff packs?)? I know a lot of people have a good majority of the packs, but I haven’t wanted to exclude anyone with the builds that I’ve done.

If the majority of you vote for me to include packs, then I will start doing that.

You can vote at https://www.strawpoll.me/15345055

Thanks!

The Novella Movin’ On Up Challenge #2 – Collect All The Things

In this latest episode of the Novella Movin’ On Up Challenge Arwen collects lots of items around the world to try and make some money. We have to furnish this grungy little apartment somehow!

Hope you all are enjoying this series! There is a new upload schedule in place for my Youtube channel as I have decided to go back to Twitch streaming (feel free to follow me there for story driven game playthroughs… I’m currently playing Mass Effect 3 and Legend of Zelda… I warn you though, my Twitch channel is NOT family friendly, like my Youtube channel is). Youtube vids will be uploaded as follows:

Yonder will be put on hiatus as I just don’t have time to record everything right now.

The Novella Movin’ On Up Challenge Returns as a Let’s Play!

 

Hey everyone! I mentioned last week that I would be moving the Novella Movin’ On Up series over to my Youtube channel as a Let’s Play. Today the first video in the series went up! In this episode you’ll be meeting Arwen Novella and checking out her first couple of days in this new series. The game hits me with a couple of bugs, but all in all it was a good start! Check out episode 1 below or on Youtube!

Decision Regarding Retreaux & Novella Stories!

Hi everyone! I know I said that I was going to wait until Friday to make a decision about this, but after looking at the poll results and doing some thinking about it on my own, I have made a decision about whether or not I am going to move the Retreaux and Novella stories over to my Youtube channel as Let’s Plays.

I was surprised at how many people actually wanted them to remain as written stories. Out of the 48 votes, 33% of you requested that they stay stories. While this isn’t the overwhelming majority, it was enough of you to make me think that maybe I shouldn’t move them both.

So instead I thought I’d come to a compromise and hopefully make everyone happy. The Retreaux Legacy will remain a written story. I prefer Sims 2 playthroughs as written stories. I love writing them and it kind of brings back some nostalgia for the old Sims 2 BBS days. So Retreaux will NOT be moving to Youtube.

However, I DO prefer doing Let’s Plays of Sims 4 playthroughs over writing them and to be honest, the Novella story was never very popular as a written series (at least compared to the Retreaux Legacy). The Movin’ On Up Challenge also seems to do better on Youtube than it does as a written story (at least in my opinion). So the Novella story will be discontinued here and restarted as a Let’s Play series on Youtube.

From now on, I think that is how I am going to work things. All Sims 2 challenges will be written stories here on the site, and all Sims 4 challenges will be Youtube Let’s Plays. I’m currently unsure whether or not I will do any Sims 3 challenge playthroughs. The game always tends to bug out for me.

I hope this works for all of you!
