Show Us Your Builds - Willow Creek

Image
 World Map While playing the Sims 4, undoubtedly the world map has changed from the first time you played. That is true for me in many of my builds. I am a hybrid player. I love to build in the game, but I also enjoy playing. So my builds are typically for sims to live in or enjoy as a community lot. #SimTested Updated Willow Creek The map above is Willow Creek in my latest save BlueBoi Family.  I created the BlueBoi Family to play test my builds in my build world save. I just started a series of building homes from this Home Builder book I purchased over a decade ago. When I play tested the residential lots I built, I fell in love with the family and decided to play them. I saved the family to the gallery and then opened my Base Game save file which has my customized lots, families and clubs in it and plopped them into it, and then resaved it as a new save. This will be my new generations save.  Generations My first generations save, the Landgraabs, was lost June 2019 when a bumbleh

Video Series Moving to New Channel

Image
 Hey Everyone, The two new video series that were announced this year: Renee Reads, and Moment of Zen will be migrating over to my Tanya Owens Designs channel.  The content will complement that channel well and it will allow me to build out a robust channel and subscriber base. Tanya Owens Designs is growing faster with more subscribers and eyes on the content, where as T-Logic Productions is not growing as fast. This is a win-win for both channels. Stay Tuned!

Who is Stub Bub?

Image
Stub Bub is a teenager living with his elder brother Emu Bub in Oasis Springs. They currently live off the grid in a modest house near the creek, but it wasn't always like that. Why is Stub Bub Angry? Stub Bub is a teenager living with his elder brother Emu in Oasis springs. They live in a small house in the desert off the grid. They are living off the grid, not because they particularly believe in that life style, but because they cannot afford to be on the grid. So why is Stub Bub angry almost all the time? Well it is hot in the desert without air conditioning in the summer and oh yeah, he had a horrible childhood.   The Children's Home Stub is being raised by his Elder brother because his parents died while he was a baby. Emu Bub is unstable, homeless, a thief and has been in and out of prison most of his life.  One day Emu met who he thought was a kind stranger who offered Stub a better life at the Children's home than a life living on the streets, sleeping

New Video Series - MOMENT OF ZEN

Image
 Meditation Series The last five years in the United States of America has been chaotic, filled with division, vitriol, hate, and violence. Then 2020 ushered in a global pandemic that the world has not experienced in a century. Added to the pain, suffering, angst, anxiety, depression, financial loss, and despair of the pandemic came additional heart ache and grief as we lost some great icons in sports , politics , and Hollywood .  As we all tried to gather ourselves and make sense of the world, America experienced the second I Can't Breathe moment which pushed the Black Lives Matter movement global. People set aside personal safety and marched for weeks in cities, suburbs, towns, and hamlets all across America and the world.  As 2020 wrapped up, America's COVID-19 infections continued to sky rocket, with this nation having the most cases in the world and officially over 336,802 people died. Unofficially that number is much higher. By March 2021 the official tally of deaths

RENEE READS: Who Has Seen the Wind?

Image
 Poem Today I am reading the poem Who Has Seen the Wind? by Christina Rossetti . I was so captivated by this poem that I started singing it. So as a treat, after I read the poem you will hear me sing it acapella. No shade now, I just learned the poem on June 6, 2021 and created the melody on the spot, did a few takes and then recorded the video. Who Has Seen the Wind? Who has seen the wind? Neither I nor you. But when the leaves hang trembling, The wind is passing through. Who has seen the wind? Neither you nor I. But when the trees bow down their heads, The wind is passing by. Poetry should move you, take you on a journey. Me, I love weather, soft breezes, the roaring winds of a thunderstorm. It all captivates me. I hope you enjoy this poem.

Sims Stories are Ending

Image
 Hi Everyone, In 2020 I started writing and recording five Sims Stories. I released two of them: The Adventures of Kylie and Magnus  and Off the Grid Bubs .  With the saturation of Sims related content on YouTube and not factoring high, heck at all, in the YouTube algorithm, no one was seeing, and thus able to watch my videos. It takes a long time to create the videos. So like with any network, cable, or streaming show low views equals cancelled.  Ending Sims Stories However, in this instance it really wasn't because the shows weren't good, it is because my channel is new and YouTube is not displaying my content to viewers. I have tried numerous search keywords and none of them results in my videos displaying in search results. Thus both shows will end after season 1 without a resolution. I actually stopped playing them altogether due to low viewership and bugs in the game. Stress Relief I started making these videos as a way to reduce stress, well I play the game to reduce str
