Summer Hill Court // Coming Soon


Just a disclaimer: The above video will not work without Adobe Flash Player so you won't be able to watch the video on mobile devices.

This is a trailer for a soap opera I'm making on The Sims 3 called Summer Hill Court inspired by TV shows "Home & Away" and "Neighbours".

SUMMARY BELOW

Summer Hill Court is a place where big mansions have been removed and replaced with a neighbourhood. There's the single woman, the single man, the small family and the big family.

It's a lot easier to make a soap opera than it seems. Just make drama out of EVERYTHING. I literally made drama out of Tristan MacDonald following Oscar Courtney in his car coincidentally.

Edit on 03-01-2015: By my example of soap operas, you'd have to be kidding me if you still don't know what country I'm from. The answer is Australia.

Plants vs Zombies Store Content Review
















Here's another review!

Just an annoying disclaimer for the haters: This review is my opinion. I'm entitled to my opinion unless I go all stupid and "express my hate" so if you're a stupid hater, please leave as I don't really care about your "expressing of hate" at all.

This content is 100% FREE. Unless you count having to buy a home, electricity, wi-fi, a computer and The Sims 3. I guess it's kind of free. Good enough?


I'm a fan of Plants vs Zombies but I don't actually use these shirts on my sims at all. I got these in my early days of CC hunting.


I think of this shirt as the type of stuff you'd never ever wear in public. Just lounge around on the couch playing Xbox games for 10 hours straight eating 20 million packets of Cheetos. (Please don't sue me for copyright infringement big companies)


As well as being never-ever-wear-in-public clothes, these could also be not-giving-a-care-in-the-world sleepwear.


The poster is awesome compared to other posters! Besides being size A1, it is so high in resolution! Perfect for a teenage boy's bedroom because you get to follow the cliches!

The Sims Movie // Where Did It Go?!
















I've done my research and found out about a movie that was going to be based on The Sims video games. There's many rumours about it but it's been confirmed by everybody that it's either still a work in progress or more likely a cancelled project.

If it were a cancelled project, why is there an IMDb page still? Are officials too lazy to remove it?

What I think happened is that this was never a project that anybody was committed to. This movie was first announced in 2007. 7 years ago! Then, it was scheduled to be released 5 years later in 2012. Which obviously never happened.

Even if this movie was released, I don't think people would've enjoyed it. Honestly, let's keep The Sims franchise video games. If TV shows and movies were released, I think it would just ruin The Sims' reputation.

By the looks of it, I'd say it's a cancelled project. It's probably best to stay that way.

Interview with Petra // The Sims 4


















Here it is! My answers to some very important TS4 questions!

What did you think of The Sims 4: Create-A-Sim Demo?
I like how it doesn't take long for a tab to load as it does in TS3, but I have a feeling that's going to change once expansion packs, stuff packs and custom content enter the mix.

How do you feel about there not being toddlers?
It makes me a little scared to buy The Sims 4. I feel very attached to The Sims 3 and if there's not going to be any toddlers, I'm not sure if  TS4 is worth buying.

Do you think it's better to have all the colours pre-set for you or worse?
I'm a person who likes to dye their Sims' hair, but there's going to be things that I won't like and I'll just deal with it. I can easily deal with pre-set colours.

Are you going to buy The Sims 4 one day?
I'm not too sure actually. I mean, my birthday is a bit after September 8 (when The Sims 4 releases where I am) so I'll have the money to buy it, but still. I might buy the $9 Fast Lane Stuff instead.

Will you wait for it to become cheaper instead?
Yeah, probably. I don't advise to go to the big department stores because they don't specialise in technology necessarily and will try to sell things for double the price. No way in the world was I buying The Sims 3 for $80!!!

Interview with Valencia // The Sims 4



















Sorry that I haven't posted in such a long time! But here I am again! I was asked lots of questions about what I thought of The Sims 4, so here's the interview!

What did you think of The Sims 4: Create-A-Sim Demo?
I thought it was pretty cool.

What made it enjoyable?
We got more things to create your Sims with.

How do you feel about there not being toddlers?
Well, I think it's wrong because being a toddler is a stage of life where you learn how to talk and walk.

Do you think it's better to have all the colours pre-set for you or worse?
I am mad that they don't allow us to make our own colours because people love making ombres and making zany hair colours.

Are you going to buy The Sims 4 one day?
Yep! Definitely! It's amazing because of the elaborate emotions and detail!

So there it was! Expect the same questions to be answered by Petra in a few days.

The Remmington Diaries // Day 2

Week 1, Day 2 - Matthew Remmington's Diary

03:11 am: If only Claire hadn't started the fire, we would've been able to WooHoo together.

10:58 am: I managed to fit a WooHoo into the day. I'm the luckiest man on Earth with a wife like Claire.

09:42 pm: Just got home from first day (or rather afternoon) at work. My hours are terrible! 3pm - 9pm is me missing out on dinner with Claire. Claire was already asleep before I got home so I'll have to work hard to improve my hours. Although, there's the chance they'll just get even more terrible. I'll just have to wait and find out.
