The show is on, and a new report is posted almost daily until it all ends on September 30th! Please refer to the last post of this thread for news, or check out the daily reports on my blog for all the details
So, I'm planning a little project to celebrate TS4! It's my way of learning about a new series, for TS1 and TS2 I did similar projects named SimLOOK.
The Sims by Numbers Show is basically about moving 8 single sims into a house to let them roam freely most of the time, to observe how they do behave and react and build their relations. Most decisions will be based on each sim's personal number; 1 to 8. The candidates were even created based on their number!
In the Sims by Numbers house there will also be a scheduled program including certain chores, but for periods the 8 participants will do whatever they want. I will only direct them to tasks related to their chores and a few other tasks according to the program. The group will explore the house as well as the town, and every day there is a morning meeting to plan the day, as well as a late meeting to sum up things. Each participant starts out with a certain amount of point that will change during the stay, and closing points for each day will make their social rank for the next day. Whenever the group decides to buy something, they will need to spend their points (1 point = 1 simoleon), and they won't always agree to the purchase. I assume aspiration and number will decide.
The sim with most points on the end of the very last day will win the house, making him/her the founder of my new TS4 legacy! That's some story to tell your grandchildren!
Detailed Sims by Number reports will be posted on my blog, Simmerville's Sims, but I'll also post headlines on this thread.
The show opens shortly after TS4 release and you are welcome to join with suggestions and comments. You might even get yourself a favourite.

- Some days there will be group tours to community lots.
- Every 3rd day there will be a party at the house!
- Certain events will be rewarded with points, participants can trade opportunities.

- Highest point score on the 20th day earns the grand prize; Becoming a legacy founder in the Sims by Number house!
The show is expected to last for 20 simdays, but nothing is final yet.
*Hark* Contestant Fiona Robberton has admitted that she dyed her hair just before the photo shots! She is a number 5, and the 5th hair colour is indeed not black but red-to-brown. One judge suggested to disqualify her, but beause it should obviously have been spotted earlier, Fiona is allowed to stay. Her photos need to be retaken, and will be updated ASAP!
Thanks for voting!
For the females, Ochana took the lead from Sissela who is currently runner up.
For the males, there is a close tie between Toby, Quatore and Otto.
Another scandal came up today, in the camp where the Sims by Numbers contestants reside. Someone (to remain nameless, blamed Ona Rosewood for cheating, as Ona's bright blue eyes could hardly be a number 1 option. And right they were! It turns out the creator (*hark*me*hark*) forgot to adjust the eyes according to Numbers! For all female contestants except Sissela! Argh! New photos are in the works, but only the close up photo will be replaced. (it's hard to tell a difference on the other photos anyway).
And before you ask, the male contestants were checked too, but they all had the correct eye colour.
The house plan has been worked on, and a glimpse will be posted soon!
Yesterday the weekly random winners were picked, PhoebeH84Player & KitOnlyHuman. Next random pick will be Friday Aug 29th, so keep voting if you didn't already!
A couple candidates have raised their voice suggesting to withdraw from the Sims by Numbers election. After nearly a full week, all contestants got some votes, but the TOP 4 lists hardly seem to change regarding who's in and not. While we do understand there might be some disappointed candidates never reaching TOP 4, we have to remind everyone that you are currently on a strongly guarded camp, and there is NO way you can leave at this point! Muha!
TOP 4 was updated both for females and males. Ochana took back the number 1 spot, pushing Sissela down to number 2. Quatore is still in the lead of the males, while Fabian is now number 3, pushing Otto down to number 4.
Again, no new contestants reached the list. Have we already seen the result?
To ease your pain, I put together a few family portraits from my upcoming town, Gloomville
There is a question in there - we don't know yet who will be on the show. The participants might run into all the other characters, plus there are a few more as well. It's good being ahead of things - still 10 days to go...
The centered lot is where the Sims by Numbers house will be built!
Find more photos in this article (in French).
More votes added, but TOP4s are unchanged. There are new ties forming, though. For the females, Ochana is still in the lead, but Sissela has to share the 2nd spot with Ona, with Fiona number 4. also note that number 5 (unnamed) lacks only 1 point to tie with Fiona!
For the males there is a new tie in the top, Quatore and Toby has both the top score. Fabian third and Otto number 4. But also here only 1 point splits number 4 and number 5. Keep voting! You will find the two voting pages linked from the top posts of this thread.
Every day at 11 PM the day closes and the participant with the greenest and the reddest plumbob will be "rewarded". More about the greenest later, but the keyword is Super Sim
The owner of the reddest plumbob (today's loser) will need to give 100p to Super Sim. This can be avoided though, by performing a randomly chosen task within 60 minutes, starting midnight! I need a list of possible 60 min challenges, and you are invited to add to the list! It shall be a tad hard - but possible - to complete the task within 60 minutes. Just keep in mind that the other participants will probably be in bed by then, so the task should not involve the other household members. Neither should there be travels to other hoods because it will steal from those 60 minutes.
Here's a short list to start:
(Alternative will be selected based on a number = participant's personal number 1-8 plus daynumber 1-20)
1. Clean the house's ground floor! All dirty plates&cups/glasses, dirty bathroom facilities, dirty floors and dirty counters must be clean to complete this task.
2. Harvest and plant a wild Snapdragon!
3. Walk outside in the street and hug someone!
4. Visit Willow Farm (next door) and start a fire! Fireplace or kitchen stove, or any other possible way.
5. Get a woodoo doll, go to the Park and perform one negative affect to a sim there. (too difficult)
5. Walk outside and make someone laugh.
6. Put on your formal attire, and go fishing (must catch 1 fish)
7. Hunt a diamond in the wild. Challenge fulfilled once the diamond is in your inventory.
8. Visit a neighbour and steal any harvest available (1 plant)
9. Phone another household and hang up after hearing their reaction this late.
You are welcome to add to this list. If you start the line with a number, I'll understand what it's for, and will add it.
Anyway, I made a rough floor plan sketch, and here's the ground floor.
On ground floor we find kitchen, dining, library/bar and fun room, to mention some. Upstairs are the 4 bedrooms meaning 8 contestants will share 4 rooms.
More details about the Sims by Numbers house was posted on my blog Simmerville's Sims today.
Find links to each voting page on top of this thread. There is one voting thread for males and another for females.
Because I'm in Europe, votes until Sept 1st at noon my local time will be accepted. I'll try to remember posting a "stop voting" note although it's during my working hours.
(and I can't hide that I look forward to focus only on this main thread
For each gender, 1st & 2nd will share a top quality room, and 3rd & 4th will share a lower quality room.
For the males there is no change to top4. Quatore and Toby still in the lead there - it's a tie, even!
For the females we have an update, because Ona climbs up to 2nd, pushing Sissela down to 3rd. And there is a tie on 1st, and also Sissela and Fiona has a tie on 3rd - and that's not all; there's only 1 point between Ochana and Fiona! Phew! A closer race was never seen before at the Sims by Numbers Show!
If there is a tie win, all involved will of course get the full 1st reward - which is a good bunch of points to get a good start at the house.
Sharing the most comfy rooms: Ochana & Ona, and Quatore & Toby. Sharing the less comfy rooms: Sissela & Fiona and Fabian & Otto.
On the show all particiants starts out with 1000 points. The following won additional 500 points: Ochana, Ona, Quatore and Toby. The following lost 100 points: Sissela, Fiona and Otto.
The 8 chosen candidates are finally expressing themselves about participating on the upcoming Sims by Numbers Show!
Ochana starts with 1500 points.
Ona starts with 1500 points.
Quatore starts with 1500 points.
Toby starts with 1500 points.
Sissela starts with 900 points.
Fiona starts with 900 points.
Fabian starts with 1000 points.
Otto starts with 900 points.
Please note that in the show it will be all about points, and the votes will be left behind. Every day at least some of the participants will get a chance to earn or lose points, and after 20 simdays, the highest score will win the house - AND be the founder of my new legacy called Gloomville Diaries.
Just to inform you all that the Sims by Numbers Show is on schedule! The house was built and equipped, and families of the entire world were adjusted to make sure the neighbours are the same that will be around once my legacy, Gloomville Diaries, can start October 1st
I'm now off to move in the 8 Sims by Numbers contestants for their very first day in the house! Can't wait to see them coming to life!
