Hi everyone! Episode #5 of the Novella Movin’ On Up Challenge is now up on my Youtube channel! Once again, thank you to Gita from Kotaku for talking with Pinstar and me and sharing our story! It was great to get to share it!
Novella Movin’ On Up Story
The Novella Movin’ On Up Challenge #4 – The Quest to Become a Vampire
The 4th episode in my Movin’ On Up Challenge series on Youtube is now live! In this episode Arwen works on trying to become a vampire. After being bitten by Vlad in the previous episode, I decided that it might be fun to have a vampire in this challenge. I’m going to add an added bit of difficulty for myself and make it so that she doesn’t marry/move another Sim in or have kids. She will need to progress through the challenge with her income alone. Now that she is immortal, this is very doable.
Hope you all enjoy!
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:
- Thurs: Novella Movin’ On Up
- Saturday: Stardew Valley
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!
The Novella Movin’ On Up Story – Chapter 3
Hello everyone! Sorry for the lack of updates on this story last week. I didn’t have as much time as usual to get posts up as I had houseguests. I’ve missed writing about Arwen! As you can see by Arwen’s face above in our last chapter we had a few issues with apartment pests, breaking objects (due to goblins), and not checking in at the right kind of park. However we struggled through and hopefully this chapter will go a bit better for our fearless founder.
The Novella Movin’ On Up Story – Chapter 2
Ahhh here we go. Another day in the life of Arwen Novella, a single social media grunt hoping to move up the ranks of her job so that she can escape a filthy, grungy apartment and move into something more suitable to her tastes. In the previous chapter, I had Arwen write a children’s book, but forgot to have her self-publish it until the following day, so that is what she is doing in the screenshot above. It will be bringing in a whopping §3 per day. We all have to start somewhere, right?
The Novella Movin’ On Up Story – Chapter 1
Hello everyone! Last week I introduced you to my new Movin’ On Up Challenge founder, Arwen Novella. This week will be taking our first look into her daily life at 1313 21 Chic Street where she will be living for at least the next Sim week or so.
A couple of things that I forgot to mention before we get started. The lot traits for her first apartment (two of which I chose) are Needs TLC (which comes standard with this apartment), Gremlins, and Filthy. So basically. This apartment is awful. I wasn’t about to make the challenge easier for myself by giving it two good lot traits. This isn’t SUPPOSED to be a nice apartment. So she’s going to be living in squalor for a while. Poor Arwen. Let’s see how she does!
The Novella Movin’ On Up Story – Introduction
Uh oh. This chalk outline of a Sim body can only mean one thing. I’m starting a Movin’ On Up Challenge story! I started this challenge about 8 or 9 months ago, but never got around to finishing it. I had started a Let’s Play on my Youtube channel, but as most of you know, I have decided to focus more on this website than I have been on Youtube or Twitch (mostly thanks to ISP data issues). So I thought it would be a great idea to get a story started. Y’know since I made this challenge and all. And it’s high time I actually FINISH a challenge gosh darnit. Continue reading →
