Hi everyone, my name is Kevin AKA TheSimsBoi on Twitter.
My adventure as a Simmer began in the year 2000. I remember it like it was yesterday to be quite honest. I was in 5th grade, and I kept hearing my classmates talk about this phenomenon to be known as “The Sims.” A friend of mine told me that the game was super addicting, and that you could control almost every aspect of your Sims’ life; I was already hooked. I had a few bucks in my money stash, and I begged my mom to take me to Wal-Mart to get the game. At the time, “Livin’ Large” was already out, but I only purchased the base game. The first time I played the game, I played for a little more than 8 hours. I could not believe how exciting creating and playing with Sims was. Here we are now 13 years later, and I am still addicted to the series.
Last year I decided to start my YouTube channel “RealSimwivesHD.” I am a HUGE fan of the “Real Housewives,” and I dreamt about creating a Sims version. One of the problems with my dream was my inexperience with video editing, and graphics design. I spent several months watching YouTube tutorials, and experimenting with software before I began working on the series. When you watch a TV show, or a series on YouTube you do not realize just how much work goes into making the shows. I quickly realized that this was not going to be an easy task, but I did not want to give up… I wanted to prove to myself that I could make a series. In April of 2013, I posted a casting-call for actors/actresses for the show. The reception was rather incredible; I could not believe how many people were interested in being a part of the series. 3 months after posting the casting-call, the Real Simwives of Starlight Shores made its debut on YouTube. The show was incredibly well received by the Sims & YouTube community. In a few weeks, the last episode of the season will make its way on YouTube. I cannot believe just how fast time has gone by.
To-date I have 25 videos on my channel, and I hope to see a lot more on there in the future. With the season ending shortly, I am already getting asked about the future of the series. Right now, I am focusing on ending season 1 with a bang. I would love to do a season 2… we will see where the future takes us! 😉
As far as the future of the Sims is concerned; I am quite excited to see what’s in store for us Simmers. I must admit, I was not that fond of the Sims 4 when the game was shown at Gamescom, but I am confident that EA will produce another hit series.
Besides Simming, I am a full-time student in college. I am in my last year with my Bachelor’s degree, and I am excited to see what’s in store for my future. I have such a thirst for life, and I want to make difference in people’s lives. School and Simming aside… I LOVE surrounding myself with friends, and family. I love hard, and I will die loving hard. Spread love everyone, because you have to!
To the Sims Community: Thank you so much for being such a passionate Simmer. You help keep us all informed in the community. Keep doing what you do, because you’re great at it!
Thank you for this opportunity,
-Kevin
Spanish Magazine called ”Micromania” included a new concept art from The Sims 4. Since this concept art is not available in HQ, Honeywell’s Sims 4 Blog asked Graham for a better quality pic of this concept art. We’ll post that HQ concept art once/if it gets available.

Hi! My name is George (Screen name: GWTReaver). – A lover of The Sims franchise, an inspired builder and an enchanting storyteller.I started playing ‘The Sims’ in 2005. (This made me 6 years old!) A babysitter of mine was a Sims enthusiast! While she looked after me and my siblings she would sit and sit and sit for hours letting us watch her play the The Sims Bustin’ Out, on my brothers PS2. The reason this memory is still so present in my mind is because for 1 reason.I Still have her game! I remember her talking a toilet break and me and my brother squabbling for who got to play. In this case, it was me. I grabbed the controller and let my creativity unleash. With a garden full of gnomes and flamingos in the underground bathroom there was no stopping me now. Little did she know that I grew a knack for all these controls! She was so impressed with my ways, that eventually she gave me the game! So this was in fact my first and most outstanding Sims memory.Growing up wasn’t always so easy. The only thing that made it easier was having the ability to do whatever I wanted, be whoever I want. Live another life, if it wasn’t apparent already only 1 game would let me do this. This is why I will continue to follow the Sims franchise through its ups and downs. Because in the end, if you think about it. It has always been there for me!My Favourite Sims game ultimately would have to be the Sims 3 because it allowed more than I ever could imagine. From game to game, it became so much more, new stories, new towns, new lives, and my favourite. New WOOHOO locations! 😀Currently I have not been the one to ask about YouTube, especially my channel. With 3 measly videos I can hardly call that a library, more of a short child’s book.But here’s the happy ending! With ITF out, here is my time to shine. I have already made some thumbnails for my videos! I already have written ideas and a storyline! SO, everyone I apologise about my commitment to my channel! It has been lacking. Now it’s my time to change that!
In a honest opinion, I haven’t really developed a clear opinion on the Sims 4 yet! All I can say is that I like the idea of new storylines, new emotion trees, and most importantly new Woohoo locations! (IM only Joking ;D)So,Dear all visitors of the Sims Community. This page is made for us! We are the community! This has been my story, what’s yours?George (GWTReaver) ^_^ ~Happy Simming
Update 8.0 will be available during the week starting 28th October 2013. We will announce the exact release day and timing next week.
New: 4 New Regions
There are four new regions being released in celebration of the Cities of Tomorrow expansion pack. Two of these regions are desert-themed with saguaro cacti, dry brush, and fewer water resources. The other two use the new tropical themed textures complete with palm trees and long coastlines. For players that want to experience cities with multiple Freeway entrances, both the Verdant Jungle and Desolation regions offer this city layout. These regions are available to all players.”
Serenity Key – 6 city island region
A tropical island region centered around a long dormant volcano. Each of the three islands has two cities on it, so boats will be vital to trading with your neighbors. The city sites were made flat and easy for players to experiment with MegaTowers, OmegaCo, and The Academy.
Rambling Badlands – 14 city desert region
This desert valley region was created to provide opportunities for our competitive players. There are two clusters of seven cities in this region separated by a natural barrier. Each cluster has a great work that the other cluster can see. Race to complete the great work and show off to your neighbors.
Verdant Jungle – 8 city jungle region:
The jungle meets the sea in this eight city region. A cluster of four cities in the mountains looks down on another cluster of four cities along the coastline. The city sites in this region provide more of a challenge for city builders looking to clear back the jungle.
Desolation – 7 city lake region:
Desolation is a desert region recovering from a nuclear disaster. Most cities will take advantage of the natural desert canyon land beauty. Only an expert mayor should take on the challenge at the bottom of the crater in the Fallout Epicenter city site. New buildings from Cities of Tomorrow should help with this challenge.
New: Roman Casino
This Roman themed medium-wealth casino comes with additional expansion options including:
New: Added the option to disable Random Disasters in the Normal game mode.
Note: Random Disasters are ENABLED by default and can be disabled through the in game options. Players disabling random disasters in pre-existing cities may experience one additional disaster after making the change. This is due to the way disasters are queued within the system. New cities created after disabling random disasters and cities that have experienced the additional disaster should no longer experience further incidents.
Great Works: Now synchronize across all cities in the region
Hotels: Now develop only in Commercial zones near Landmarks, Stadiums and casinos.
New: 3D Zoning, RCI can now build under bridges, the RCI buildings will estimate the appropriate height building and develop according to the space allowed.
Medium Wealth Happiness: Medium Wealth happiness varies past a rating of 330 depending on how Sims are feeling about the city
Recycling and Garbage: Trucks now operate 24 hours a day
Recycling Center: Resource storage capacity has been increased.
Emergency Services: Fire Department helicopters will more effectively respond to fires if available
Education: Improvements and balance changes to ensure that buildings won’t go abandoned as fast due to lack of tech or unskilled workers.
RCI Zoning: RCI rollover effects will no longer persist on roads when zones are not placed in that location. The ghosting zone effect is also resolved.
Tourism: Tourist specialized cities will now be more effective when used in conjunction with public transit.
UI: HQ modules’ unlock requirements now display more accurately.
Tutorial: Mini-tutorial about radiation added to help players in the new city; Fallout Epicenter in the new region; Desolation
UI: Updated the legend on the radiation map
UI: Oil under building monthly calculations is now more precise
Audio: Residential buildings will now play the correct audio when selected.
Trinity Point: Trees will no longer be affected by minor graphical issues near the coastline.

YouTube – Twitter – Tumblr (Simblr)
Hello super awesome people, I am The Sims Fanatic AKA @martyuu on Twitter! Here is a little more about myself, what I am doing and what I love to do.
I started playing The Sims at the beginning of 2009. A friend of mine told me about The Sims 2 and it just got my attention. We talked like hours about it, and talked, and talked. She got me addicted just by telling me about it. We also played The Sims 2, a lot of friends gathered and we created our Sim-selfs and build discos with The Sims 2: Nightlife on the flat roof, designing our rooms how we want. Then I understood that The Sims 3 has been released.One time when I was at my older cousin’s house, he had The Sims 3 installed. Of course I tried it and guess what. I was shocked and I didn’t know what to do. I was so confused. I remember making a mom with a child and played with them in a house box. (LOL)Time passed and I got The Sims 3 on my own computer! I played with hours and hours… (we all know that). At first I even didn’t know what an expansion pack means. So I was shocked when World Adventures was released. Then I fell in love with The Sims and it came a part of my life until now – the near end of the series.In my freetime (which is not much) I love being on the computer and tweeting with friends. They are so nice and supportive to me. And playing The Sims of course! I’m studying in an art high-school and currently specializing in industrial design. That means that I spend a lot of time drawing, painting and sculpting in classes which is cool, although it is hard. I love photography, too and I like going to the forest to take photos. I have a Simblr (Sims related Tumblr blog) where I post my inspirations from the game, so I love editing Sims landscapes and posting them there.Not long ago, I started my own YouTube Simming channel, where currently I am making a Midnight Hollow Let’s Play Mini Series. My first video was kindly welcomed and I was happy for finally doing this as I’ve been thinking about it for a long time. I am on my way to 50 subscribers and I’m very happy! Although, I still don’t have many views, I am not stopping doing this because of my supporters that like what I am doing. Big thanks to them! I don’t have many videos yet, but I’m really passionate and willing to have lots of lots of videos! I’m planning of making an Into The Future Let’s Play and I hope it is better than my current one.I want my channel to be very popular one day. I would love to spread lot of happiness from there because I love seeing other people happy and I want to be an inspiration for many people!Oh, The Sims 4? I AM IN LOVE WITH IT! Since I first saw it, I was flying in the sky! I definitely love the art style of it. It looks realistic, at the same time cartoonish and a little bit like The Sims themselves. They don’t have to be realistic, they are Sims. I really can’t wait to Build/Buy with The Sims 4 new tools since I love designing. I’m really looking to the emotional depth our Sims will have. Since I am a story teller type of player, I love reflecting real life in my game and forcing my Sims to do things that would normally happen in life. I think the emotions will bring a lot for this! I can’t wait to tell more realistic stories with the perfectly made Sims I desired with the new amazing CAS! I really can’t wait to get my hands on this!About The Sims Community, I’ve soon discovered it and I saw that it is one best site where cool Sims news are being posted. I also love how it focus on the Community itself, giving us a chance to understand about other awesome Simmers. Keep it going guys and one day you might be the greatest site! 🙂And as a final, I would like to tell you about my dreams and things I wish I could do to change the world. Bullying, wars, hunger, homeless people. I want to stop it all, I want the world to be a better place. I would definitely do charities if I was rich. I’m crying when I’m watching the starving children in Africa. I want to help everyone! If I could be famous one day, I want to be famous for doing good things and changing the world for the good. I want to be an inspiration of a nation! Also, be positive! When you wake up, put a smile on your face and continue your day being nice to others, helping to people that need something. That’s what I do and I am happy. Trust me guys, you will be, too. Be positive, be nice, help others and dream big and we can change the world someday!
