Livestream Announcement + Raffle!

Guys! I am so excited for what I’m about to tell you! On Wednesday November 25th starting at 10:00 AM PST (that’s GMT -8:00 for the rest of the world), I am going to be live-streaming the Wonder Child Challenge. On top of that, I am having a raffle so that YOU can try to win the chance to choose my Wonder Child’s first trait! That can have serious impact on my challenge and I can’t wait to see what you throw at me.

What is the Wonder Child Challenge you ask? Well, basically you start with two adult Sims that are roommates, make them have a kid, and raise that child to be 100% awesome. Loads more details about it can be found at The Sims Legacy Challenge.

Ok, but I know what you all really want to know is how you can win the chance to make the challenge more difficult for me. You can enter below, the contest is being run via RaffleCopter!

UPDATE! I’ve made the prize better! If you win, not only do you get to choose the Wonder Child’s first trait, you ALSO get the Sims 4 Stuff Pack of your choice! Do your Sims need to be able to throw Luxary Parties? Are their patios missing some furniture? Enter for a chance to win!

Oh, I also made a little teaser trailer. Most of you probably got to this post from YouTube, but for those of you that didn’t, behold!

If you have any questions or suggestions for before I get started, let me know in the comments! Otherwise, I really hope to see you in my Twitch chat next week. It’s going to be so much fun!!

Get Together and Dance All Night

How fun does this new Dance skill look?! I’m even more excited about that skill than the DJ skill (and I’m pretty stoked for that one). And the choreographed dance floor moves… oh my goodness!

It actually works out perfectly for one of the Sims that I made for my Get Together Let’s Play, I knew that going out and dancing was going to be her favorite pastime, and I am thrilled that there’s going to be a skill for it! Sorry to keep teasing about my secret new Sims, I promise to put out the intro video soon…. maybe.

I seriously can’t wait for this expansion to come out though. I have to admit, I wasn’t that happy when it was first announced (I feel like there are things we need more than we need more social outings), but the more trailers they put out, the more fun it looks.

Can it be December now?!

All The Clubs! Let’s Get Together!

I think the feature I’m most excited for in The Sims 4 Get Together is Clubs! They sound awesome, and very flexible/customizable according to the official video on them.

I think the first club I’m going to make is going to be a group of Foodies. They’ll get together and cook gourmet meals, drink coffee (the new barista bar should be cool), and act snobby haha. Actually, I don’t think either of my Sims for the Get Together Let’s Play I’m planning would fit that club, so maybe it’ll be my second one. I’m hoping there will be features for a book club, as one of my Sims would definitely be down for that.

I didn’t like the social features that eventually got put into The Sims 3 (it was badly implemented to say the least), but this Clubs thing kind of makes me wish that my friends’ Sims could join my club and visit my town, and then go back to their own towns and start “Chapters” in their game! I guess it doesn’t need to be that involved though, even just sharing a club via the Gallery system might work out. Wishful thinking…

Anyway, what custom clubs do you guys plan on making? Or are you loving the ones outlined in the video? My Katie Plays Sim might be interested in the Avant Gardes, but it depends on what else they like to do besides try for high scores.

Super Meta Let’s Play Series!

So, since The Sims 4 Get Together expansion got pushed back a bit (until Dec 8, which is just AFTER my first Winter Vacation ends, go figure), I needed something to do. I mean, I still need to do the intro video for my Get Together Let’s Play but now I have plenty of time for that.

I mean, I needed something I can get a few videos out of before then, because my poor YouTube channel has been quiet for too long and BF4 doesn’t make for interesting videos. Anyway, I was watching some other Simmers, and I saw a comment that said something about how with the right skills, a Sim could Livestream video games.

I immediately thought about how awesome it would be if I went all Super Meta and made a Katie Plays sim, and make her work in tech support (which I do in real life), and game all day, and eventually live stream her games LIKE ME. It’s silly to tell a Sim to go play Sims Forever, and I totally do that in the first video!
