And the votes are in...

Carter and Shayne were both up for eviction. We let the fans vote on Facebook and the results are in.

In a vote of 4 to 2, Carter has been eliminated.

Even though we didn't have much time to fall in love with Carter, I'm sure he won't be forgotten... Who am I kidding? No one remembers anyone but the winners!!

Seven contestants remain. This week's HoH challenge is painting! Who will become to next HoH and who will be up for elimination? Stay tuned...

Big Brother House

Sorry for lack of updates. I had a depressive episode, but now I'm back. I have to actually play a bit in game (scandal, I know), so here's the layout of the house in case any of you were wondering.

 The main floor has an outdoor space, a large communal bathroom, gym, and open living/dining/kitchen. On the far right we see the diary room, the HoH challenge room, and the red bedroom. At the top are the blue and yellow bedrooms.

A view of the HoH suite: bedroom & private bathroom.

I'll get up the eviction results and new HoH before Saturday!

Head of Household Announcement AND Eviction Nominations!

Friday soon came upon us and it was time for the HoH Competition Results! For this first week, any skill points acquired count toward who will become the Head of Household. Here are the results!

In last place, with only 5 skill points acquired: Shayne. Next, Kristi and Yadira with 6 skill points each. Tying for third place with 7 skill points each, Carter and Jared. In second place, Hunter and Mara with 8 skill points each! And our new HoH, Kiera! She earned 9 skill points since entering the house!

"Wow! I am beyond excited to be the first Head of Household! I can't wait to check out the HoH bedroom and have a little power around here!"

There were mixed reactions to the new HoH announcement, with some sims very uncertain about their positions with Kiera. Others were more confident that they would not be put up on the chopping block.

Kiera spent most of her time enjoying the perks of being HoH (mostly the TV in her room!), so the other contestants were left to wonder at who she would choose to nominate.

Kristi caught up with Yadira in the living room to discuss strategy. The two decided to form an alliance to help seal their fate as the final two. Little did Yadira know that Kristi already has another secret alliance... with Mara.


Now it's time to announce the two sims up for eviction. The HoH must nominate the two sims that have the least relationship with themselves. Although it was hard to get a lot of good solid relationships in the first week, Kiera has made her choice.

The two nominees are:

Carter Hopson

The Childish, Materialistic Slob

and...

Shayne Swift

The Active Materialistic Snob

Who will be eliminated? Vote in the poll on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/376037669222637/. In 24 hours, we will have our announcement. Stay tuned!

Week 01

It's been an exciting week! The days have practically flown by! There have been a couple of developments, so let's get to it!

 Early the second morning, Shayne and Jared try to talk strategy. The immediately form an alliance to make it to the final two together. With Shayne's physical prowess and Jared's smooth talking, it's a dynamic duo.

Yadira has decided that nudity is best. She spends nearly all week naked (not a glitch, she was in her "nude" outfit). If the other contestants were put off by her nakedness, no one made a fuss.

It seems like there was always some sort of dance party going on at all hours of the day and night! At least everyone is still having a good time!

Kiera was a little slow to warm up to everyone, showing herself as a bit of an unintentional loner. Whether is was nerves or strategy, we don't know as of yet.

Tensions start to run a bit high as everyone is getting less than adequate sleep. Kristi and Hunter had a bit of a disagreement about sleeping arrangements.

Hunter's stress from lack of sleep began to boil over and he got into a huge argument with Yadira. He accused her of feeding into the drama instead of being a peacekeeper.

Shayne became the resident night owl to resolve the arguments about sleep. He decided to spend his nights working out in the gym and sleeps mostly during the day.

Mara and Kristi got buddy-buddy during a late night chat by the pool. Looks like our second alliance has formed!


Up next, we find out who the new Head of Household is and who is nominated. Tensions will be high during the first elimination. Stay tuned!

Day 01

The contestants quickly settled into their new home. Since they all came in with exactly zero skills, this week's HoH will be determined by the sim with the most overall skill points on Friday. (Note: I had to give two sims photography skill points to take pictures for our wall. Those points will not count toward any challenges as the camera has since been deleted.)

Let's check in and see how everyone is enjoying the new digs.

Yadira decided to try out the luxury pool. Check out that back flip! Very impressive.

Jared and Shayne were getting friendly on the couch, trying to gauge one another's strengths and weaknesses without being too obvious.

Kristi was feeling a touch overwhelmed and shy, so she decided to keep to herself for the first day. She definitely enjoyed this book.

Jared joined this impromptu dance party in the gym with Carter and Mara. Have fun while it lasts!

The fire pit is a great place to hang out... or discuss strategy. Unfortunately, everyone seems to be getting along all lovey-dovey so far.

Kiera took some time for a quick dip. It may be fall, but it is still blazing hot in Willow Springs!

Time for some sleep. Everyone went to their beds to get some rest for the exciting week. Wait... where's Shayne?

I guess he didn't want to share a bed... Oh well.

Not such an exciting first day for the fans, but the drama will definitely come with eight sims cooped up together and forced to eliminate one another. Who will rise out victorious? Let us know who your favorite is in the comments! And stay tuned for another exciting installment of Sims 4 Big Brother!

Meet the Contestants

It's time to introduce our lovely Big Brother contestants. I have randomized four males and four females to come up with our eclectic bunch. But I'll let them tell you a little about themselves so you can pick who you'd like to root for!

"Hola, mis amigos! Me llamo Carter Hopson. I'm ecstatic to be on Big Brother! I wanna win all those simoleons! I'm not here for any kind of showmance, so all these lovely ladies can look but they cannot touch! haha! My traits are Childish, Slob, and Materialistic."

"Hey all. My name Kiera Bass, and I am NOT here to make friends! All I want is to win the money. So all these other sims better just step off and make way for the QUEEN. Alliances aren't really my thing, but hey, I'll do anything to win! My traits are Mean, Evil, and Self-Assured."

"Howdy ya'll! My name is Kristi Conroy, and I am a Taurus. I'm eager to find out what other astrological signs I'll be living with, but a Taurus can withstand anything!

Well, there you have it. Our eight lovely contestants. Who will win? You'll have to stay tuned to find out.

Welcome to BIG BROTHER!

Welcome to Big Brother: Sims 4! I am your host, Momma Marmar. In the next seven weeks, we're going to watch as eight sims battle it out for the grand prize: one million simoleons and the title of Big Brother Champion! The rules are really quite simple. As the Watcher, I have randomly created eight sims (four males and four females) and placed them in a home modeled after the houses on the Big Brother reality television show. I will have little to no interaction with these sims, except in special occasions such as diary room confessions and life saving circumstances. Here's how our game will work!

Every Monday at 12:01 a.m., new skill objects will be introduced. The contestants are free to work on the skill of the week or not. On Friday at 6:00 a.m., the sim with the most points in that week's skill will be the Head of Household (HoH). They will have access to a special bedroom/private bathroom as well as immunity from elimination. On Saturday at 6:00 a.m., the HoH must nominate the two sims that have the least relationship with the HoH for eviction. Then the decision will be left up to a vote on Facebook as to which sim gets eliminated. Rinse and repeat. Once we are down to the final three, the two sims up for elimination will be the two with the least total skill points.

So let's begin! Our sims have moved into their beautiful home. The first week is all about getting to know each other and settling in. However, unbeknownst to them, the first HoH competition has already begun. Read on to learn what's going on!
