Welcome to Katri's simming journal!

[katrisims]

Hello, and welcome to my simming blog! I'm Katri, a fortysomething Finnish simmer, and this is my place to share my stories, general babbles, pictures and whatever else might cross my mind. So far, this has been a Sims 2 blog (almost) exclusively, but who knows about the future.

Below you can find an index of sorts about what you can find on this blog. It'll likely be updated and improved on occasion.

My main ongoing challenge at the moment is the Lakewood Build a City Challenge. It's not intended to be a story, but rather observational gameplay documentation and fun challenges.

In addition, I have two completed challenges.

Katri and the Case of the Haunted Asylum is a Halloween-themed Asylum challenge with pre-existing ghosts and supernatural inmates. Like Lakewood, it's not really a story but rather a documented challenge. It was completed in November 2020.

Bonita's Wants is a Great Boolprop Olympic Challenge, where Bonita Curious (originally from the Lakewood BaCC) attempts to fulfill 100 Wants, while living her everyday life. It was completed in September 2022.

I have two plotty stories, which are currently on hiatus. With the current world and life situation, I feel it best to concentrate on something lighter for the time being. Perhaps there will yet come a time when I have the time and mental energy for plot-heavy storytelling.



Be warned: I started the alphabetacy in 2007 when I was much younger and had more time than today. Then I was hit by adulthood and responsibilities, a truckload of plot, the brilliant idea to play the whole neighborhood, and the desire to play and write other things. So these days, story updates are a pretty rare occurrence, but I do intend to keep going, however slow my progress might be.



The Bookacy Family Alphabet Adventures

This story started out as documenting my attempt at the Alphabet Legacy challenge, but fairly early on, it started turning into something more plotty. Author Bookacy moves into Alphabetia to have a new life and a family, but before her children are teenagers, she's gotten the family in trouble...

Drabbles relating to the story:

Not just the look
It has its perks

I can't

Good old times

Myshuno 2012:
Do you ever feel sorry for him?
Mystery newspapers

All kinds of families

Myshuno 2011:
Deep thoughts
This is the last time
Emptiness
The life and careers of Komei Tellerman





Villains or Heroes?

Villains or Heroes is a spin-off to the alphabetacy, but can be read independently if you wish. Salahuddin Chamcha, the founder, is the multi-generational antagonist of the Bookacy family, and he finds himself in jail. While there, he has a curious, lifelike dream where he is in a place called Strangetown. He finds some friends, the love of his dream-life... And then disaster strikes. Can Salahuddin and his family be the heroes of Strangetown, or will the villains win the day?

Guest appearances by Marielle Hutchins (dicreasy ), Cypress Vetinari (docnerd ), Seth Jaypalan and Rodney Jalowitz (mzyra ).

I'm by no means a custom content creator and it's unlikely I'll become one. But there are a couple of small things I've shared in the past, so here are the links.

Ace shirts for ace sims t-shirts with logos

TS4:

The Sims 4 Random Sim Generator (at MTS), another electronic die for randomizing some TS4 sims

If you happen to be interested in what cc I use in my game, or if you're just browsing around for cc creators, I have a resource list. Mostly pretty basic stuff that people will already know about, but you never know right? I'll try to keep it up to date if I download more, though no absolute promises there.

Welcome again, I hope you enjoy your stay!

Hi Katri, I play the Sims 2, 3 and 4. :) Added!

[katrisims]

Hello, and welcome aboard! :) Nice seeing you here!

[jedibutterfly]

Is that your simself in your icon?

[katrisims]

Yeah, that's her. :) I should really make a new version of her some time, she's pretty badly out of date.

[jedibutterfly]

The only Finnish I know is kaunista minua. :) Actually that describes my personality. Beautiful positive me. Your simself is nice.

[katrisims]

Thank you. :)

[jedibutterfly]

I'm going to read the Bookacy today and I will comment.

[katrisims]

Looking forward to it. :) The beginning is from more than 10 years ago, and that's kind of what it looks like too, but I'd hope it gets better later on.

[jedibutterfly]

Whoa! :D Okies.. :)
