The SV Times - We Break Gnus for you

New in the City
by Conner Frio
We at the SV Times are excited to welcome Backlot Studios to our town.

Backlot Studios have produced many fine films including "Sims in the City", "Twelve Angry Sims", "Desperate Times" and "Simville". The executives of the studio have said, "We love the locale of Sunset Valley. We should be able to do far more location shoots then we can in the big cities. And the mayor offered us a tax incentive that we couldn't refuse."


The mayor refused to comment on any incentives offered to the studio to build in the city.

The studio is looking to hire local talent for both in front of the camera and behind it. Trina Sw0rd was one of the first local residents to be employed by the studio. "It's an exciting new career opportunity. I'm looking forward to working in the studio," said Mrs Sw0rd.

People around town

It is with sadness that this reporter must inform the readers of the death of Ms AJ Landgraab nee Anderson. Ms Landgraab was a well known figure in town, having been the team captain of the Llamas for the past several seasons.

Her oldest son, Malcolm, was close to his mother. They shared a love of the outdoors and fishing was a favorite past time for both.

"Mom was a good soul. She worked hard for the Llamas but she worked hard for the family too. We'll all miss her."

AJ had very recently decided to finally retire from the team, leaving the captaincy spot open for the first time in years.

Malcolm tells us that the family was just celebrating his brother Daniel's birthday when the Grim Reaper came calling.

AJ is survived by her second husband Bryce, her daughter Mindi Landgraab-Goth, and two sons Malcolm Landgraab V and Daniel Landgraab.

Representatives of the Llamas have said that the team will mourn the loss of their captain. Unfortunately there is a game scheduled for tomorrow night and whether the team can pull itself together in time to trounce the Tigers has yet to be seen.

The Night Life

It was a quiet scene yesterday. A small crowd gathered to watch Sierra Nevada play guitar at our local pub. The patrons of the pub enjoyed the music but the tips overall were a disappointment to Sierra.

Local family dies

In other news, a fire has claimed the lives of a local family. Jared Frio, his wife and daughter were killed in their home last night. Connor Frio was distraught when he heard of his brother's untimely demise. "He may have been a right bas***d, but he was the only family I had." Funeral arrangements will be announced soon.

Cyclone and his daughter Nicole, he is such a proud and happy daddy.

Trina wants another baby, and her want should get filled soon.

  1. Looks like you found plenty of news to report after all! Nice, SV has a movie set now! :D A great way to introduce that coming to town.

    Awww, AJ went kaputt--but at least you got some nice screenshots of her with her family and passing away.

    I notice no screenshots of Jared Frio & Fam, though--lol, outcast to being a small paragraph at the bottom. That's okay. I never liked him anyways. ;)

    The pub looks cute! You build that yourself?

    I have to say, your 'reporting' skills continually get better. :) Awesome post.

  2. I spent the day with AJ so I had plenty of opportunity for screenshots.

    Unlike Jared who I was just tired of. Never took a picture of him or his poor family. They only rated a mention because I did visit Connor and I was surprised to find that Connor was officially saddened by death. So I moved Dee's Alicia in with Connor so he'll have a friend and Alicia has help with her daughter.

    The pub is from sue_d_nim. I did a few very minor tweaks like adding a bar section that a mixologist will tend. But very few tweaks.

    Hmm, it's actually my imagination getting more exercise cause you can only do so much that's true to the game. :)

    For the record, helping AJ celebrate retirement was Erick Leman, her son Malcolm, Tori Sekemoto, Annabelle Grant and Bradley Kane.

  3. So long AJ. You had a nice long life and it was time for your to go....but.....did you have to go and spoil the birthday?

    Ahhh, Alicia and Conner. Poor Conner. Wonder if Alicia will behave herself. :)

  4. :) Well, when the Reaper comes calling, you have to follow. Daniel will be fine, I'm sure.

    Alicia has actually been pretty good. After she ditched Jon Marsh, she just stayed on her own. She did have a romantic interest in AJ's son Malcolm. Since he is still a young adult and she is nearly an elder, I decided to push her to being great friends with Connor and in his house. Malcolm has a new girlfriend, someone with a bit of a temper but at least she is his age.

  5. Wow. Alicia being good. That's a new twist to Alicia. Haha. I see she tried to latch onto a young buck before though. Sort of like AJ and her young buck. :D

  6. Yeah, Alicia tried for the young buck. But that one has to have a least one son and she doesn't have much time to fill that requirement.

    With AJ out of the picture, Bryce's days in the hood may be numbered. I haven't completely decided yet. He is certainly getting moved from that house.

  7. Hi PiB! Happy New Year! Wow.. lots of news here! Love the movie set.

    Sorry to hear about AJ. I like the third picture so much, there were lots of sims there.

    Good to see Cyclone and his daughter

  8. Hey MJ, nice to see you pop by.

    Always sad to lose one of your founding Sims but she's had a good life and left behind a growing family. She can't really complain.

    Yes, everyone nearby stops to celebrate a retirement.

    Cyclone is a sweetie with Nicole.
