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 :)

Summer in Brighton

A drink in my hand, my snow up against the burning sand...

No sadly, this isn't a rendition of Frozen's song 'Summer' although it is a Disney banger! I have realised between poetry and book reviews I haven't really posted 'other' content on here. This is just a catch up I guess, talking about the Summer and what I have planned, what I have been doing and what the future holds.

Since finishing the Second year of University in May, so far I have been home to Newcastle for a little while and then returned to Brighton to work full time. I don't have a holiday planned this year, but I do plan on visiting some places within the UK. Just something to look forward to. I will be spending the majority of my time in Brighton, which I am excited about. 

I set a Summer goal of reading 15 books, so far I have only managed 2 - tragic but I have just restarted Harry Potter so those numbers will rise. Reading again for pleasure feels so good again, for a while I didn't want to read. I guess when your degree is surrounded by reading books, and a lot of the time ones you don't want to read, you b

ecome reluctant to read in your spare time. So, the reason I set a Summer reading goal is to hopefully fall back in love with reading.  A new book review will be posted within the next few days, so keep an eye out for that.

So far, Summer has been quite spontaneous. I have been to the cinema a few times, I went to see Avengers End Game (twice),  Alladin, Toy Story 4 (twice) and I am seeing Spiderman soon too.  and seen quite a few of my friends. It has been great, I have really been trying this work/social balance. I have also been attending the gym, which has been helping me mentally as well as physically. I have been investing in new gym gear, and I am living for it- NIKE YOU ABSOLUTE BABE. I am really trying my best to feel good about myself, in all ways possible. I am getting there, this Summer is definitely one of self-care. A much-needed addition to my life.

I will be visiting Newcastle near the end of Summer, once I have moved into the new house. When I get back I will be seeing Danny Jones live.

The big thing I wanted to talk about was... SIMS. If you've been around on my blog a while now you will know how much I adore the Sims. And I have recently just collected all the packs for Sims 4, and let me tell you the future is bright. I will be Simming more... on more than one platform. It is early days but it is a new project I will be working on.

The blog here is a due a revamp, not sure when this will take place but soon! I have been going through my social media and just tweaking things, if you follow my Instagram you will have noticed a few changes, especially with my highlights. If you don't follow my Instagram search for me WritingMyHeart! 

What are your Summer plans?

The Burdick Family (Sims 4)

Meet the Burdick family

Lori Burdick 

Life goal: Nerd Brain

Traits: Quick Learner, Genius, Bookworm and Neat. 

She’s a scientist or at least trying to be but like all Sims she is starting from the bottom! She is all about learning and expanding her knowledge. She’s smart, attractive and independent. She met her now wife in high school, and once they left they moved in together all happily in love. 

Stacey Burdick

Life Goal: Painter Extraordinaire 

Traits: Muser, Cheerful, Art Lover, Family-orientated. 

Stacey is the creative one of out of the two, she doesn’t believe in buying other people’s art but filling their home with her art. She’s a cheerful Sim, which is useful for when Lori comes up grumpy. Stacey adores Lori even though she’s constantly working and trying to build on her skills. When Lori gets the day off Stacey is more than happy to drop everything to spend time with her loved one. Stacey wants a family with Lori, due to their lesbian marriage, they will have to adopt. Stacey doesn’t work, the plan is to be a stay at home artist to look after the new pup and eventually their child.

Burdick

Beagle, Puppy

Traits: Vocal, playful and Smart.

This is their dog to test if they’re ready for a child.  A little cute addition to the family. Stacey has always wanted children and Lori not wanting things to go so fast suggested they start with a puppy. Both Sims adore the puppy, even if it’s got quite a vocal character. 

So this is my newest Sim family, I am very excited to see how far I can with this lot. I'll be posting updates on the progress, I think the next Sim update post I will have built their house. I may try and video some footage too.

Summer Glam #2 Sims Edition

 Hello, I am back with another Summer Glam! Yes, another Sims Edition - only a male version as promised. When playing the Sims I genuinely struggle with Male Sims, I can never find enough CC. And I never put as much detail into creating male Sims as much as I do Female. Regardless, I give it a go to make Summer Sims!!

I chose a sleeveless vest top with bright colours, paired with shorts. This outfit gives me Summer festival vibes!

I decided for his work/smart dress to use a shirt with the sleeves rolled up. The use of the colour pink shirt I think gives a mellow look to the Sim. Adding light summer tones to the work place.

For the night time attire I chose heart boxers. They are fun and perfect for the hot Summer nights. 

This is a party oufit. Again festivcal vibes with the bright colours on the tshirt. Ripped jeans - not only a fashion statement but allows room for legs to breathe when out and about. I decided to use Van-like shoes. They are chill and really goes with the outfit.

Simple swim wear with some grey shorts with a mellow yellow trips and pull ties. 

I started off this outfit with a popular band vest 'The Rolling Stones' adding modern music taste to the game. I paired this outfit similary to the previous with shorts and white vans. I went for fashionable and chill with this outfit.

For this Sims working out gear, I chose a branded Adidas t-shirt with camouflage  shorts. Keeping it light yet effective for a hearty workout.

Again for sleepwear I went with simple boxers, only to add personality and humour to match his characteristics I paired the boxers with fun bunny slippers.

It's difficult looking for CC for Male Sims, I decided to go with palm tree holiday shorts for this gentleman.

This is probably one of my favourite outfits I have put together for a male Sim. I decided to use modern culture again, and used a Rihanna print oversized tshirts, matched with ripped jeans and maroon trainers. This look suggests fashionable but lowkey did not try very hard.

I really adore this Sim, and outfit. I downloaded the unisex hair from The Sims Resource. I have never really liked it for female Sims but I am living for it with this male Sim. This is a party outfit, sunglasses to look cool as well as keep sun out of eyes. A light top and jacket with three quarter length jeans. I topped this look off with bracelets, rings and a watch.

Is it even Summer if you don't see a guy wearing crazy tight speedos??

Athletic Summer outfit at the ready!! I went with a really cool superhero design shirt, Ironman and Tony Stark - my favourite superhero! Paired with tight shortd and fashionable trainers.  I also decided for this to have tattoos. As like humans we all have different traits and we do not look like alike.

And finally - swim shorts with a hint of bright blue!

So my attempt at a male Sim Summer glam. I did enjoy this but I have to say it was not easy! I really enjoy doing Sim Glams, I will definitely be doing more in the future. If you have any Sim suggestions or even blog post suggestion please feel free to comment! Thank you for reading and see you on the next post!

Summer Glam #2 Sims Edition

Summer Glam #1 Sims Edition

I keep seeing Summer glams all down my Instagram feed and various other social medias. I am not very much a dress up for Summer kind of girl, more whatever I feel comfortable in. If you've visited my blog before you will know I am a huge fan of the Sims. And I decided to Summer Glam - Sim editions. I have created two female Sims - who have different Summer styles - expect a male version in the upcoming week or so.  I use a lot of CC and you will find pretty all of those items on The Sims Resource.

I am living for the glitter eyeshadow it's bright but not too much - since it is summer vibes I used a soft pink lipstick which looks almost natural

In Summer some women like to keep their outfits light, so I chose a dress for casual wear. If you're from the UK (like myself) you probably won't casually wear dresses during our Summers unless by a miracle the sun shows its face.

This her sleepwear, I am pretty sure a lot of girls can relate when it comes to hot nights - tshirts are your best bet or just simply just underwear.

I chose to use dark shades for this Sims party outfit, yet kept some brightness with the use of hold eye shadow.

Where the Sim lacks Summer colours in her makeup she certainly makes up for it with her outfit. I wanted her to stand and contrast with her everyday outfit.

This together is one of my favourite swim suits and hairstyles to use within the game. Together they give holiday vibes, chill and just a good time kind of look.

Next is a brunette Summer beauty! With this Sim I tried out a new hairstyle I downloaded from The Sims Resource, and I fell in love immediately so with the upcoming styles of the brunette the hairystyle is consistent.

Unlike the first Sim I decided to give her everyday look more natural. Realistically in the Summer, sometimes makeup can be a nightmare to deal with. With this outfit I chose a flower printed tank top and blue shorts. It is chill yet has that hot Summer vibes. 

This is the formal outfit I created. Heavily made up but I am living for her eye makeup. I decided to dress this Sim in a jump suit. It looks professional but also gives room to breathe as this piece is sleeveless.

This Sim was being a poser whilst I got her into her swim suit. I like the darkness of the swim suit yet it shows elegance with the feathers. It's dark and yet still suitable for the beach or chilling by the pool.

This is the party outfit. I went with the off the shoulder top/jumper because it looks comfortable but also it will give some warmth as the night goes of the parties. The shorts I decided to team with netted tights and knee high boots. This was more of a fashion statement if anything else. I like the bad ass look she has here.

This is all I have for you today with my Summer Glam Sims edition! I will be posting more of these in the upcoming few days. Also, expect some Summer/Holiday glams featuring myself whilst I am away on Holiday at the end of August and the first 2 weeks of Septemeber!

Share, comment and please follow the blog. It means a lot to me that people take the time out of their day to read my posts.
