The Europa Legacy – Chapter 4 – The Courting of SimGuruGraham

Hello and welcome to Chapter 4 of the Europa Legacy! If you haven’t read the previous chapters, they can be found here.

Sorry for the lack of updates with this family lately everyone! Let’s just say I went a bit insane with YouTube and ended up burning out a bit. So, I’m back to writing for a while because if I have to look at my video editing software for another minute I’m going to need a straight jacket.

*clears throat* Aaaaaaanyway, back to the topic at hand! The Europa Legacy! In the last chapter, Geneva met a rather handsome man by the name of SimGuruGraham. For those of you who were wondering if moving Graham into the family was Legacy legal… it is. I downloaded him from the gallery in a family of other Gurus (just like I would have if he were a #LegacyLove) and didn’t know his traits beforehand, so he’s fair game!

Geneva: So umm… reading together was… fun. But I was wondering, would you be interested in… going out for a drink or something?

Graham: Sure, that would be fun!

Geneva: Ok, great!

New Careers! Exploration Stream Tonight!

The wait is over Business and athletic careers are here! (Along with the Move_Objects cheat and a whole ton of new stuff.) Look at that infographic (Provided Courtesy of EA). Pretty informative! Or is it? The simmer in me is not content with merely the titles. I want to see more! How much does each level make? What are the promotion requirements? What is the salary like? What are the rewards? How are the different branches unique?

If you are asking the same question then you are in luck! Tonight at 8PM Eastern Standard time I will be streaming The Sims 4 on my Twitch.tv account with the specific intent of exploring all the details of each level of each of these new careers, and each of the branches! Come join in the fun, hang out and learn the juicy details of these new jobs along with me!

You can find my stream here

Missed the stream? No worries! A recording of my stream will be posted on my Youtube channel the next day.

An update to the Legacy Challenge rules will be coming within the week.

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you all know about an awesome event going on in the Official Sims Forums right now, The Story of the Month Club!

What is the Story of the Month Club, you ask? Well within the Sims Forums there is a section called “The Sims 4 Stories and Legacies” where Sims 4 story writers and challenge creators can share their work with others. There are tons of amazing writers there and The Sims is highlighting several of them in the Story of the Month Club.

In order to be featured in the Story of the Month club, writers are first nominated by others, then people vote on their favorite story for that month. The stories aren’t all Legacy stories, but a good many of them are. Check it out and make sure you vote for you favorites! A link to all of the nominated stories is found within the Story of the Month post.

Eat Like a Sim’s Month of Cookies – Gingerbread Plumbobs

This week’s recipe is not actually a recipe from the game, but rather something that I came up with to put a festive spin on the most recognizable icons of the Sims… the plumbob! Since the holidays are gingerbread season, I thought gingerbread plumbobs might be a fun little cookie to make.

The plumbob has been around since The Sims 1 and is used as a device to identify the mood and needs of your Sim. Each game has changed the mechanics of how the plumbob works (The Sims 4 changed it to reflect the emotional state that your Sims are in for instance) but has never changed what its shape. It has always maintained its elongated diamond shape which easily identifies it, even outside of the game.

Featured Legacy of the Week – The Chronicles of Andra Stafford by Jendowoz!

Jendowoz’s founder, Andra Stafford

Welcome to another Featured Legacy of the Week! Each week we will randomly select someone from the pool of Simmers that sent in their Legacy’s info on our “Share Your Legacies with Us!” post. Those of you that haven’t sent in a Legacy yet are still more than welcome to do so. The more the merrier!

This week’s Featured Legacy is a written Legacy by Jendowoz called The Chronicles of Andra Stafford. As of writing this post, Jendowoz is up to chapter 17 of the story. The Legacy was founded by Andra Stafford and the story is written in the first person (as if Andra were writing an autobiography).

Happy simming!

Eat Like a Sim’s Month of Cookies – Black and White Cookies

This week’s recipe is the The Sims 4 Black and White Cookie recipe. Sims can make this recipe at cooking skill level four. I’ll be honest and say that I don’t typically have my Sims bake cookies as they tend to gain weight too quickly as it is, but I saw this recipe on the recipe list and thought it might be fun to make in real-life. Hopefully they don’t go to my hips as quickly as the in-game version does! Continue reading →

For those of you who think you’ve beaten the challenge handily, see if you can beat my own personal high score of 429 points. Lastly, if you want to grab Athieania (my Wonder Child) and her sister Tess, you can find them on the Gallery.

Lastly, I created a top 10 tips video based on what I learned while creating and playing through the Wonder Child Challenge. You can find it here:

The Finale contains a hint at what my next big challenge will be. I’m not ready to announce anything formally yet, but you can bet this is where you’ll find any news and rules related to it when I do!
