TheGeordieSimmer

Hey! 

Long-time no blog, but I am back! With an announcement; I have finally created a Youtube for my Simming! You can find me at 'TheGeordieSimmer' or you can watch my first video below.

 I thought I would come on here and talk about the plans I have for the channel and the types of videos that I intend to create and talk about some of my favourite Simmer Youtubers!

So far, I have only posted an intro. A video talking about myself whilst creating myself on The Sims 4. This was fun, we are in early stages so it's easy to detect that I am a beginner. I hope to make more videos in the future, I am currently editing my next video.

What videos should you expect to see on my YT channel?

- Speed builds - this is what I hope the main content on my channel to be, I love building and watching speed builds (especially TheSimSupply) and I want to grow as a builder and share my builds.

- Reactions/reviews to new content, I want to open new packs and share my thoughts right there and then. 

- Gameplay  - I plan on doing some challenges, I am excited to explore challenges I haven't done before.

When will I upload?

I am either aiming for once a week or maybe every fortnight just to begin with. I haven't quite figured out editing yet, so I am still in the learner stage, so my uploads will eventually become more regular.

Who are my favourite YT Simmers?

- TheSimSupply 

- Deligracy 

- Kate Emerald

 - The Red Plumbob

Thank you for reading, all feedback for my channel is welcome! All suggestions are welcome :)

The Blogger's Companion

Hello!!

I come to you with an... update I guess. I have been dealing with writer's block lately, and Uni has been stressful so I haven't really been able to put time into my blog. Which is sad because I love my blog, being able to write whatever and share things with you guys. It is fun and quite cathartic for me.
I have recently invested in The Blogger's Companion. It is basically a blogging journal with prompts. It is fun and so useful for when I want to write but don't know what to write. I want to work on my blog this Summer, make it more active and just for me to write more! As a writer I don't write as much as I would like to, so I am hoping this little book will help with this.

I will still be posting my usual content, such a book reviews, Sims posts, my own poetry and things. This is just so I can get in the groove of writing more frequently. I am hoping to make Monday my weekly blog post day. I am crap with trying to follow a schedule but hopefully, I can stick to this one, at least see how long I can go.  Also if you are also a blogger, you can order this little gem of a book online. Click the image and it will take you to the Amazon page where you can purchase it.

I have had a quick neb at the book, some of the weekly prompts look promising. Not all of them, as they don't really cater to the vibe I am trying with my blog. I am hopeful though if anything it is a bit of fun. My blog won't change much, I am just hoping to write more.

My blog has recently well this year been updated, the layout and all that jazz. Which means the follow button has moved too, I would appreciate it if you would give the blog a little follow. It would mean the world. At the top of the page is three little lines and if you click that and scroll you will see the little follow button!

What content do you as a reader want to read and see on here? As I look at my most popular posts, it seems you guys enjoy my Sims Posts, as well as little lifestyle ones. If you have any suggestions, please comment them below. I am open minded :)

Sim Alice #2 Build Mode

 I have been wanting to create a sim version of Alice for a while now, in this creation I have made her a modern teenager. I enjoy making this quick Sim, I also worked on a quick building. 

I decided to make Alice a little preppy in the screenshots below, I figure we mainly see her in one outfit so I explored other ones. I kept her hair the same throughout just so it resembles Alice somewhat.

I did create several outfits but the two above were my favourites. Below is the build mode I created, I just played around with size. Huge plants, small chairs etc. I really enjoyed this quick creation, I don't think I'll go onto gameplay with her but this as just something quick to do. 

I think my favourite part of this was magnifying the plants to give it a wild forest feel to the build. Have any of you created fictional places from books? I want to create more, but I am not very confident with Build Mode so I am just messing around with creations. I am not sure what I will be working on next but I don't think I will be playing Sims as much as I like to due to upcoming deadlines.

Build Mode #1 Sims 4

When I first started playing Sim 4 build mode was a genuine nightmare for me, it took me a long time to actually get into it. But, now I know what I am doing (sort of) I have found things I enjoy building and decorating as well as parts that I don't.  I want to make this a series type of thing, and I want to start off with something I enjoy decorating and that is desks!

A person's desk can tell you a lot about them, so in game, I like to make my Sims desk reflect their personality as much as I can possibly do so. Plus it is cool the amount of desk clutter CC you can find online. I love playing around with different items. There is also a running theme with the majority of my desks, I love using the base game plumbob lamp. It is my favourite item in the game, I kind of want one in real life...

Pulperising Piplup

Graphic title I know. For those who don't know I am a huge Pokemom fan I have been for years. Ever since I found a gold block that fitted into my square Nintendo SP (that gold square being pokemon heart gold) and so I played that and well I had no clue what I was doing (for instance teaching a Charmander dig - I now cry about that) and since then I learned and found souls silver (forever my favourite game). I then went onto playing the DS and bought bought the games and to this day I still do. My favourite pokemon are Cyndaquil and Piplup. Along with the main games I play the myster dungeon ones.  I am loving the Y and X games,especially with this year's events. Earlier this month a got Mew and next month Celebi!! Well recently I decided to go back  to Pokemon Myster Dungeon Explorers of Darkness. I restarted and so I've been playing and well it is frustrating. As always through the questions I got Charmander and as always I choose Piplup as my partner (kind of regretting) and well we are so far into the game where we are in the quick sand caves.  And honestly? Piplup is pissing me off. Not only are we bashing again storms (which reduces health) and fighting our way to the next staircase he always gets himself into trouble. He takes on too much, and well we were down to minimal health and the storm keeps coming. We enter a floor where the stairs are near, and oh look a sleeping pokemon. Neither of us have the health to take another beating (conicedently freshly out of Oran berries) so we sneak up but no Piplup has to throw a bubble thing at it and guess what he misses so it attacks him and he dies and we are beamed off. It's annoying because this isn't even a one time thing, I'm always the one taking a beating and he's just a prick really. I've taken a step back because quite frankly I want to punch piplup. I adore the games and he is a helpful partner but by god he's always the one getting killed and taking the team down...
So yeah I had to rant somewhere about the myster dungeon frustration. I sometimes wish it would let me carry on without him, like we would get further or better yet I wish Piplup had some common sense!
