Each week this show grows. The storyline becomes more complex, we meet new people and it just becomes even more captivating. There's a reason why the next episode is always so eagerly awaited, because we're left hooked and wanting more!

In this week's episode we see a change in location, to a world that I know many simmers out there love. This was a clever inclusion and a great move for connect with the simming viewers. I loved how it tied in with the concept of wanting to escape from drama, but is that really possible? A lot of parts of this week's episode were easily relatable to real life in some way. Anyone who has gone through drama within a group of friends or with a relationship will really be able to find links this week! Clever move.

By the looks of the previews for the next episode, there's a lot more to come. I'm really intrigued by the flash of Maria's life that we saw. Straight away an idea of what it could be popped into my head, so I can't wait to see whether I'm right!

This show will provide you with drama, humour, and of course some twists. If you're not already watching, you should definitely join the journey that is The Real Simwives of Starlight Shores, as I know you'll be hooked like so many in this community!

Stay tuned for the next episode on Wednesday September 11th at 6PM (ET).

RSOSS: Episode 3 - 'Time For a Getaway'

The Real Simwives of Starlight Shores is now three episodes into the first season. I'm loving the show so far, and I know I'm not alone with this. Through Twitter, YouTube and even chatting to many other simmers in this community, I know that it's a hit. If you're not watching it, you're missing out on one of the best projects in the community currently!

If you missed Episode 3, you can catch up here.

The episodes in this series are really linking in well together, with each new episode answering the burning questions we were left with after the ones before. This makes the series quite addictive, as you just need to know what happens next! In addition to the story line from episode to episode, I've also noticed quality improvements to each. The quality of work and the effort that goes into this series, which is at outstanding levels, is really clear in the finished product that we get to see each fortnight on YouTube.

In episode 3, the drama has really heated up and I think we will be in for quite an adventure following the simwives for the remainder of the season. After this episode, I have been left pondering where we will be taken on this adventure, and I can't wait to see it.

The audience reaction and involvement with this series has been amazing so far. It is truly awesome to flick through the comments on YouTube and to see everyone discussing who their favourite simwives are. This really just reflects how well this show is engaging the viewers. Even changes to the simwives, including the voice of Britney, has been well received by the audience. All the voice actors behind this series do a wonderful job, and this really takes the show to a whole new level.

Each and every episode is highly anticipated and for good reason. It is yet to disappoint. This series just keeps getting better!

Stay tuned for the next episode on Wednesday August 28th at 12PM (ET).

RSOSS: Episode 2 - 'Uncharitable Attitudes'

This episode was definitely worth the wait. Episode 1 was impressive, but the latest was even better. In this episode more characters have been given a voice, including some of the husbands and children. This really added more depth to the simwives and the series overall.

The story picked up from right where we left off in the previous episode, introducing more drama and emotion behind the story. From flicking through the comments on the episode, it is clear that the viewers, including myself, are left needing to find out more about how the story continues.

We learnt more about the personalities of each of the simwives, especially on whether they are two faced or not, and their friendship qualities. The latest developments to their personalities have left me reassessing how I would rank them all, from favourite to least favourite. The reactions to these new developments really show how much this series in connecting with the viewers. They are really more than just sims from a computer game.

The quality of this episode overall, story and technical aspects included, has extended even further above the impressive basis set in episode 1. Based on this, I have high hopes for the rest of this season and I cannot wait for the next episode, where hopefully some of the questions I've been left pondering will be answered as the story unfolds!

I cannot congratulate the very talented Producer Kevin enough for the wonderful series he has created. It is great to see how much he cares about what the viewers want too. I must also commend him on the beautiful way he made a tribute to Quxxn, a very important and loved member of our community that we are all missing.

RSOSS: Episode 1 - 'Welcome to Starlight Shores'

The highly anticipated first episode of The Real Simwives of Starlight Shores has now premiered on YouTube.

If you missed Episode 1, you can catch up here.

When I watched Episode 1, I was so impressed and knew other people would feel the same. The twitter reaction seems to reflect that too. What a moment for the wonderful producer Kevin!

There was a focus on introducing the Simwives - this led to lots of discussions over who is the viewer's favourite so far. I weighed in on the discussion too. So far my favourite is Jennifer, followed by Britney, Maria, Eva & Kyra. What are you thoughts? Who is your favourite so far? I'm sure my favourites will change after more episodes though. The discussions reflect that the introductions were a great inclusion in the episode, as it has already started to form a connection with the viewers.

In addition to introducing the Simwives, the episode had drama. This of course has left me, and I'm sure I'm not alone here, wondering how it will play out throughout the remainder of the season. The episode ends with some crucial questions between the characters that I cannot wait to find out the answers too!

Episode 2 will be available on July 31st (ET). Kevin has kept extra time between the first 2 episodes because he cares about the viewers and is really interested in your feedback, so he can make the show the best it can be. Any feedback left on this post will be passed along to him too :)

So what did you think of Episode 1?

The Premiere of The Real Simwives of Starlight Shores

Launching this week on YouTube, on Wednesday July 17th at 12PM ET, is the very first episode of The Real Simwives of Starlight Shores. Earlier this month I was lucky enough to be provided with early access to this episode and I was highly impressed with what I saw. The quality of this episode was actually so impressive that it led to the development of the official partnership between RSOSS and Simming Away.

There has been an extensive lead up to the premiere of this series, leaving viewers highly anticipating the first episode. Before watching the episode, I'll be honest, I didn't know what to expect. However, any of the uncertainties I had have been well and truly resolved, as I was blown away by the extensive planning and detail that has gone into the series.

One of the greatest attributes for this series is the planning of the characters, each provided with an in-depth and individual backstory. The introduction of the characters has been prioritised, which I believe will lead to providing viewers with both a greater understanding and a greater connection.

So many aspects of The Sims 3, such as the world, career options, venues and general interactions are intelligently and quirkily integrated into this series. Whilst it is totally different to the regular gameplay that most simmers would normally experience, it still remains connected to the traditional game that so many of us love. It's the incorporation of these features that also make it more appealing to simmers. Simmers, this show is made for you.

I do not want to give away spoilers for the episode, as I really think that you should tune in and see what it is all about. I will honestly be surprised if it doesn't leave you eagerly awaiting episode 2, just like I am.

From the quick overview of the series you get at the beginning of episode 1, this series is set to bring drama and humour to your screens, that will bring you pure entertainment. I really do think this will be a big hit and that viewers will love it.

I would highly recommend checking out this series when it is released, and I extend a big congratulations to the amazing producer Kevin for his incredible work.

I cannot wait for this series to launch!

Feature Friday: RealSimWivesHD

Hey Simmers! Welcome to the second Feature Friday, where each week I showcase one of my favourite YouTubers.

Yesterday marked a month since I launched this blog. Right from the very beginning, TheSimsBoi followed me on Twitter and has since become a loyal supporter. He is also the genius producer behind the new YouTube sensation about to hit your screens next week, The Real Simwives of Starlight Shores (RealSimWivesHD on YouTube). The RSOSS videos are of an outstanding quality, and this is what made me really pay attention to this channel. I have also been lucky enough to have already seen Episode 1 (more about that at the end of the post), and it is truly impressive. I subscribed to this channel because I loved the concept of the show, and I have continued to actively support this channel because of the video quality.

TheSimsBoi participated in the weekly Feature Friday interview, and here's how it went:

YouTube Questions 

1. How long have you had your channel?  

I have had my YouTube channel since August 2012. 

2. Out of all your videos, which is your favourite? 

 I would have to say that my favourite video is yet to be released... Episode 1 of The Real Simwives of Starlight Shores. 

3. What (or who) inspired you to a start your channel?  

I have always wanted to make a series, and never thought I could. Last year I just started writing my show, and the next thing I knew I was researching how to make movies! I was intrigued and wanted to do more.

The Sims Questions 

1. What's your favourite EP?  

My favourite EP of all time would have to be "The Sims Superstar" The Sims in the recording studio was just too funny.

2. What's your favourite SP?  

My favourite SP would have to be "The Sims H&M Stuff"from the Sims 2.

3. What's your favourite world? 

My favourite world... ehh, I am stuck on this one. I would have to say it's a tie between Lucky Palms & Sunlit Tides. They are both HUGE, and include lots of earth tones. I love blues, browns and greens!

4. Are you thinking about buying the Sims 4? 

I have my eye on the Sims 4, but right now I am sticking to Sims 3.

5. How long have you played The Sims? 

I have been a Simmer since the very beginning. I was in the 5th grade when I was introduced to "The Sims." A friend of mine was talking about it, and I saved my pennies up to buy it. Once I started I was hooked... and here I am 13 years later.

But wait, there's more! I have two big announcements relating to the RSOSS!

1. On Sunday (AEST), I will be posting a launch article based on Episode 1, before the episode has even been released to the public (I will not post any spoilers!), so stay tuned for that.

And the big announcement I've been promoting on Twitter...

2. RealSimWivesHD and Simming Away have entered a partnership! Each week after the public release of every episode, I will be bringing you RSOSS recaps and more! I am super excited about this opportunity because I promise you that this show is very impressive.

Thank you for reading this week's Feature Friday!

Episode 1 of The Real Simwives of Starlight Shores will be hitting your screens on Wednesday July 17th, at 12PM ET.
