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 →

Wonder Child Challenge Completed!

For those who have not been following it, I have been doing a full Let’s Play series on my own Wonder Child challenge. For those of you who are looking for some tips and tricks on playing the challenge yourself, you may want to give the series a watch. You can find it here:

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!

Eat Like a Sim – Super Chocolate Tummers Bomb Cupcakes

Today’s recipe is for Sims 4 Super Chocolate Tummers Bomb Cupcakes. These tasty little cupcakes can be made from the Cupcake Machine in The Sims 4 at level 7 cooking. The cupcake machine is a nice little addition to The Sims 4 and allows you to make all sorts of tasty treats for your Sims (and as of the Get to Work Expansion, you can make more than just cupcakes in it!)

Holy plumbob you guys. I figured with a name like “Super Chocolate Tummers Bomb” that I needed to go way overboard on the chocolate with this recipe. And that is just what I did. Chocolate cupcakes filled with chocolate chips, nutella buttercream frosting, and MORE chocolate chips on top. These things are DELICIOUS. My good friend Val (aka 8bitmom) visited when I made these, so she and her son helped taste test this recipe. It was a hit all around.
