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!

Weekly Links List – June 26, 2017

It occurred to me this morning that our Links & Affiliates pages were greatly out of date (like… 2 or 3 YEARS out of date). Rather than go through and update it, I thought it would be nice to bring back my weekly links posts where I link to other sites, Youtube channels, and Twitch channels that play our challenges. This was something that I always enjoyed doing as I love finding new people to watch/read their stories.

There is a good chance that I am going to miss someone as it’s difficult to track down everyone that does our challenges, so please let me know in the comments below if I’ve missed you or someone else and I will add you next week!

NOTE: These links are ONLY for website/channels that are actively playing our challenges. I can’t link all Simmers as the list would be a hundred miles long. Continue reading →

Let’s Play List – 8/10/2016

Hey everyone! I decided to split up the Creator’s List after all as it seemed a bit too long to keep all in one giant list. So I am posting the Let’s Play List today and will have the written stories list up in a few days or early next week!

Unfamiliar with what these lists are? Every week or so, I post a list of links to the latest episodes/chapters of let’s plays and written stories that revolve around one of Pinstar’s or my challenges (Legacy, Apocalypse, Wonder Child, Immigrant, Block Party) for the Sims 2, 3, or 4. I hope it’s a good way to help you all discover new creators out there that you would like to follow!

As always if I’ve missed anyone, please let me know! Continue reading →

Let’s Play List – 1/8/2016

Well hi everyone! It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these lists. As you know, our move to a new state is quickly approaching which means that these posts will be fewer and farther between until we are all settled in.

Since it’s been a month since I’ve done a Stories & Let’s Play list, I will split the list in two (Stories in one, LPs in another) and each list will list stories and LPs from the entire month rather than the last week.

Given how insanely busy I am with real life right now, there is an excellent chance that I have missed someone in these lists. If I have, please don’t hesitate to let me know in the comments below!
