Simerican 2024 Presidential Election candidates are announced.
Beginning | Previous | Next
Simerica’s three largest political parties have each released the official election posters for their respective candidates.
Incumbent President Henry Cronin of the Simtrist Party has launched his 2024 campaign with a rally in his home town of Brindleton, where the Cronin family has long been a fixture of local politics. The Cronin campaign seems to have pivoted from previous policies with the environment seems to have taken a backseat and economic inequality (which Cronin pledged to combat during his first term in the White House) does not feature in the Simtrist Party’s manifesto. Nevertheless, Cronin was greeted by a sizeable crowd who cheered his campaign slogan, “Leading Simerica into tomorrow”.
The Sim Workers’ Party have, for only the second time, nominated a presidential candidate after Elliot Fleig’s campaign performed better than expected, trouncing the Simertarians in many of their traditional strongholds, but this was not enough to defeat Cronin, who won the election in a landslide. Now, the SWP’s rising star Delilah Stokes, Congresswoman for Willow Creek’s Foundry Cove district, has entered the race. Stokes is not a political newcomer having run against Simertarian Party stalwart Jasper Monroe in the 2021 Gubernatorial election in Louisimana and suffering a narrow defeat. With many Simerican households facing a bleak economic outlook, Stokes is confident her campaign, which is promising progressive taxation and nationalisation of several key Simerican utilities, will win even more support than her predecessor and mentor, Party Leader Elliot Fleig.
Hoping to reverse the recent trend of poor electoral performance for the Simertarian Party, Ulysses T. Hatfield has also kicked off his campaign with a rally in his home state of Winconsim, where he is currently Governor. Taking to the stage alongside wife Ruby-Ann and children Billy, Hank, and Elizabeth, Governor Hatfield has promised to “resurrect traditional Simerican industries” which he sees as having lost out under the Cronin administration’s eco-friendly and “anti-business” policies. With the backing of a united and invigorated Simertarian Party, who seem to have put the Goth debacle firmly behind them, Hatfield is hoping to galvanise communities who have drifted away from Simertarian influence. With a well-funded campaign that is widely supported by many industries, Hatfield is President Cronin’s stiffest competition in this year’s election.

Transcript below the cut.
Bethany: Ma’am.
Sigolène: Mm-hmm?
Bethany: Sorry to interrupt. Agent Dryer is outside and apparently needs to speak to you.  She’s insisting.
Sigolène: Well then, if she’s insisting, show her in.
Bethany: Yes, Ma’am.
Agent Dryer: Madam First Lady.
Sigolène: You can relax Agent Dryer, I’m not your Commander-in-chief. Beth said you have something you want to discuss?
Agent: Yes Ma’am. As you may know, it’s secret service protocol to review any security camera footage after an event where a member of the first family is present.
Agent: With the footage from the Oskar ceremony, we found something - something that I should be reporting directly to my superior.
Sigolène: And as I’m not your superior officer, I assume there is a reason why you are speaking with me?
Sigolène: Thank you agent and thank you for coming to me first. This is a family matter. You understand that this must be kept private?
Sigolène: The last thing Fred needs is to have his privacy violated further. I’ll handle this - there is no need to involve the West Wing.
Fred: Mom? What are you doing here?
Sigolène: Oh, just these really. I was passing and saw them. So many memories on this wall. Look how little Teddy was… and how handsome you are. And those Paulis got their mother’s good looks…
Fred: I guess so. Look mom, I don’t know what is happening to you right now, but I gotta get going. Drake is having some of the boys up to his family’s summer cottage - one last hurrah before the wedding.
Fred: I love you mom.
Sigolène: I love you. So very much

Nathalie: Yes – of course, Sir – right away, thank you Mr – yes – goodbye Sir.
Nathalie: Well, the President is pleased.
Nathalie: Aren’t you happy Fred? With how things went?
Fred: Huh? Oh yeah, it was fun. I guess.
Nathalie: Honestly Fred, I don’t know where your head is at.
Nathalie: This weekend was a great success – you’re lucky I was here! Think what might have happened…
{Flashback}
Nathalie: I need you to wait in the holding area until I find out what is going on.
Nathalie: Why do these things always run late?
Fred: Perhaps, and I’m just throwing this out here, it could have something to do with the unscheduled naked man. Go, I’ll be fine. You on the other hand, I’m not so sure.
Nathalie: Stay in that room until I come back for you. Watcher help me, I need a lie down.
Victor: Finally. I’ve been imprisoned here, alone I might add, for the entire ceremony!
Fred: You should have texted me; I would have helped you pass the time.
Victor: Oof, hardly. You are always leaving me hanging. Being ghosted, after saying I couldn’t stop thinking about you… it does not make me want to repeat the process.
Fred: That was shitty, I’m sorry. But I just didn’t know how to tell you how I felt over text. I’d prefer to show you.
Victor: Que broma! you fucking Cronins, you all think you are charmers. Well close that door and get over here and apologise like you mean it.
Victor: Don’t leave me on read again mi amor.
 {Flashback ends}
Nathalie: … and that is why, it has been my honour to serve your family, your father, our President.

Tittle-Tattle: The latest news from the Simerican first family.
Beginning | Previous | Next
Hello lovelies! It’s your girl [redacted] bringing you more celebrity news and more importantly all the goss! This time we are focusing on my most favourite of first families - The Cronins... well, to be precise, three of its members and it has been a busy weekend for the democratic dynasty.
Starting off with the absolute hottie that is Fred; he was spotted out and about in Riverview. For those of you not in the know, Riverview is located on the Sim City peninsula of Long Island. Although a quaint town, it is home to some of the wealthiest, most powerful and celebrated sims around! The reason for this visit to the peninsula: Ollie Drake, Fred’s stinking rich best friend and soon-to-be husband of global superstar, Camila Pauli. It is rumoured that Drake invited his groomsmen down to his family’s “summer cottage” for one last big spring blowout before the big day. All I can say is that ain’t no cottage in my book, it has crenelations for Watcher’s sake! Ah... to be rich! 
Tumblr media
Next up, we have Simerica’s Queen herself, First Lady Sigolène Cronin. She made an appearance in the town of Newcrest at Gertz Diner, and can I just saw HOW CHIC! That pant suit is tailored to perfection! Well, that’s what you expect when you spend §8000 on a single outfit! This trip was to show the administration’s appreciation for diner owner Gertrude Lee, who offers free meals for those who are struggling through the current economic crisis - all I can say is maybe the First Lady shouldn’t have worn Simmy Choos to serve soup to those in need! A rare misstep, even if a stylish one!! On the menu today: broth! Far from the first lady’s preferred soup (we hear it’s a humble lobster bisque).
Tumblr media
Finally we leave Simerica and travel across the great Simlantic Ocean to the Grand Duchy of Felsenbourg. We now know, my lovelies, that Felsenbourg is synonymous with Madelène Cronin, and boy she was a whirlwind tearing through the Duchy! I can happily say when I grow up I want to be Madelène! And I’m 10 years older than her - eek! The First Daughter was spotted at the International Polo Championship, a must on any potential princess’s social calendar. The event is attended by the crème de la crème of the Simtinent and hosted at the Grand Duke’s personal showground. Madelène wore a STUNNING black and white dress during the Simerican v Felsenbourg match, I mean come on, I almost died! *swoons*. The First daughter was joined by her uncle Ambassador Patrick Cronin, her aunt Cherie and her cousins Alexander and Abigail. Later that afternoon Cronin was spotted intimately chatting with his Serene Highness Felix Von Acker and was later joined by his sisters their Serene Highnesses Princesses Amelie and Henrietta. Note to self - ask Father Winter to make me a Princess this Winterfest!!
What do you make of all these beautiful and fashionable Cronins stepping out with billionaires’ sons, in high fashion and mingling with royalty - and all during a cost of living crisis for Simericans up and down the country... oh! And where is the President?! I know he has a campaign to prepare for, but surely he needs to get out and about to see the people?! 
Until next time lovelies! and remember keep gossiping!!
XOXO

News Anchor: Last night the President and First Lady stood united in their support for the environmental charity, Speak for the Trees.
Fred: “United” my ass.
Nathalie: Fred? Can you focus please?
Fred: We have been over this a gazillion times. We land. I walk the red carpet. I smile and wave. I answer their questions. I meet with Pauli. Then we go on stage and present my ex-girlfriend’s mother — who’s idea was that? — with a lifetime achievement award. What could possibly go wrong?
Nathalie: So darn much. Remember, you are attending as a representative of the White House. The President needs this to go smoothly.
Fred: Yes, yes, I know. I got the full “For the campaign” speech before we left. What the commander-in-chief wants, the commander-in-chief shall receive.
Nathalie: Watcher, help me.
I can’t wait to see you. I haven’t stopped thinking about that night 😍

Becky: Excuse me Sir, but I have the finalised seating chart for the ‘Speak for the Trees’ gala next week.
Henry: Hmm what? Why are you doing that? And why are you still here? It’s gone past midnight. You really need to get a social life, Becky.
Becky: Oh Sir, I really don’t mind at all. I believe in service to my country and wouldn’t dream of leaving before the commander and chief. How about a nice cup of coffee and we can look over this, together?
Henry: Miss Brik, do you really think I would be sitting here and not asleep in the residence if I wasn’t up to my plumbob in work! Go home, or at the very least leave me in peace.
Becky: Sir.
Becky: Stupid machine! What do you want from me?
Henry: If it lets you know, perhaps I could get that coffee after all?
Becky: I think it has it in for me. Perhaps you could order it to work?
Henry: It just needed an executive touch.
Henry: This is the first cup of coffee I’ve made in years. How is it?
Becky: My, Mr President. It’s very… robust.
Becky: I think I know what it needs.
Becky: I just adore whipped cream in my coffee.
Henry: Yeah, you sure do.
Henry: I’m guessing you don’t support our proposed sugar tax?
Becky: I’m just a sucker for sweet things, Mr President… Henry. Just try and stop me.
Henry: I know one way to stop you.

Stephen: Just a reminder we have that call with the Prime Minister of Great Simtain.
Sigolène: Can’t he finish breakfast first?

Becky: Please, Mr President, call me Becky.
Henry: OK! In that case, you can call me Henry.

Tittle-Tattle: Ward vs Ward
Beginning | Previous | Next
Tittle-Tattle.com, your 411 on celebrity news, has investigated rumours of a rift in the household of Del Sol royalty, Villa de Ward, home of starlet Judith Ward. 
In the early hours of yesterday morning, the Simcadamey of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences confirmed a last-minute addition to line-up of this year’s Oskars. Heir to the modern Simerican political dynasty and utter hearthrob, Frederick Cronin will take to the stage alongside his Selvadoradan counterpart, Víctor Pauli. Pauli had already been offered the chance to present at this year’s ceremony, where his sister is widely tipped to take home the Best Actress award for her role in the blockbuster musical “Recuérdame Selvadorada” (we just can’t stop crying after listening to the chart-topper “Love me now, or else!” - also expected to win Best Original Song).
This all sounds lovely, but where do the Wards fit into this? Icon of stage and screen Judith Ward will be this year’s recipient of the prestigious Lifetime Achievement award after an illustrious decade-spanning career. It is also the very category being jointly presented by the First sons, Cronin and Pauli. We’ve heard it said that Ward’s daughter, Audrina, who just happens to be Frederick Cronin’s ex, is furious with both the Simcademy and her own mother for going along with what she calls a “farce”. In a recent SimTok post, Audrina Ward streamed to her 4 million followers that the whole thing was nothing more than a campaign ploy instigated by the White House.
Sources say that famously fiery Judith Ward schooled her daughter in the Art of Diva, saying “This is my world, baby girl, you just happen to live in it”.

Hello!
Today is my tumblr two year birthday! so I couldn’t think of a better time than today to post! Also the theme of the post ties in quite nicely with Mother’s day:D
I have honestly missed posting and hopefully with University breaking for Summer at the end of this month, I will have more time to devote myself to the Sims, the Cronin's, and whatever strange story pops into my head.
I hope you are all safe and well :D

Stephen: “How are the ratings?”
Bethany: “The President’s are steady. But –”
Stephen: “But?”
Bethany: “The First Lady’s ratings, well they’re through the roof”
Stephen: “That was to be expected”
Sigolène: “Oh? How so?”
Bethany: “A nice dress and a few friendly waves is all it takes you mean?”
Henry: “Maybe that’s were I’m going wrong. Take note Stephen”
Stephen: “Sir, I don’t –”
Henry: “Oh Watcher, it was a joke Stephen”
Bethany: “The SimCity Journal has requested an interview - with the First Lady.”
Henry: “Who’s writing it? Some poetic type like, Cuthbert or Hassels?”
Bethany: “It’s Spencer sir. Cassian Spencer”
Henry: “Ah great – lover boy”
Sigolène: “Lover? He was a spring fling in college, as well you know.”
Henry: “Something to kill time, eh? Until a quality gentleman came along”
Sigolène: “Just think what my life could have been, if only I had waited for that ‘quality gentleman’ to come along, instead of marrying you”
Henry: “Miserable, I’d say. Lucky for you, you married the President of the United States and not some hack writer”
Sigolène: “Oh my darling. If I had married that ‘hack’, he would be the President of the United States”

A night of friendship & frivolity at the Staffordan Embassy.
In a time honoured tradition, the President of the United States of Simerica  accompanied by his wife attended the Stafford Embassy for the annual Stafford Gala to mark the Simerican Independence day hosted by the newly appointed Ambassador Dr Amber Montano and her wife Christy Bartlett
Located at the end of Embassy row in Washingsim City, the Ambassador’s residence is the Mecca in capitol real estate, making this the top job in the Staffordan diplomatic corp.
Tumblr media
The friendship between these two great nations started during the Simerican War of Independence. The Simerican colonies were locked in a struggle to break free of the yoke of the tyrannical United Kingdom of Great Simtain. In an act of generosity and great heroism, King Nicholas I of Stafford sent his navy to defend Simerican waters and struck a decisive blow against their Simlish rivals, turning the war in favour of the fledgling Simerican nation.
This is the inaugural year for both President Cronin and the newly appointed Staffordan Ambassador Dr Amber Montano. Both are naturals in their respective roles.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
After cordial introductions, the party moved upstairs to the Ambassador’s private study before the arrival of other guests. First Lady Cronin stopped to admire the many photographs arrayed at the top of the Grand Staircase. The photos of the “Print Hall” depict historical events from the embassy’s history and many include the Staffordan Royal Family on trips to Washingsim over the years. Amber Montano pointed out a personal favourite showing a young Queen Elizabeth her first official tour in Simerica shortly after her coronation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Arriving in the Ambassador’s study, President Cronin asks Dr Montano how she is settling in to the Simerican way of life. The ambassador, having only arrived in the country, has not yet had the opportunity to sample Simerican customs or cuisine, but has heard the local lobster thermidor is to die for.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Shortly afterwards, the party greeted the evening’s guests – Staffordan and Simerican dignitaries, embassy staff and their families, and many among the great and good of Simerican society. Before sitting down to a gourmet meal, President Cronin toasts the health of the Staffordan Queen, reaffirming the “special relationship” between their two nations.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Once guests had eaten their fill, dancing and a cocktail reception took place in the embassy’s beautiful gardens. The evening brought to a close a successful week of Independence Day celebrations and was the perfect introduction for the new Staffordan Ambassador to her post.

A plan unravels
One Observatory Circle - The Vice President’s Residence.
VF: You look defeated. Was your excursion not a success?
LF: It has been a trying night.
VF: Was it the Goths who arranged this farce after all?
LF: Bella was there, but she isn’t the mastermind.
VF: Surely not Mortimer?
LF: [Pouring a stiff drink] Please.
VF: Who would have thought Geoffrey had it in him? Double-crossing Nancy takes some guts. Do you really think he’ll push her under the bus? What does he want from all this?
LF: He wants to wipe the Landgraab name from history. He wants to dismantle the company, get rid of Nancy - and get his name back. He wants a quiet life in some backwater called Henford-on-Bagley.
VF: Well, what does this mean for you?
LF: It’s not good. Geoffrey has given Bella enough material to put Nancy behind bars, or at the very least have her removed from the board at Landgraab Group.
VF: And why is that bad exactly?
LF: Our involvement with Nancy will come out as well.
VF: “Our involvement”?
LF: Yes, “our”. What hurts one of us hurts the other.
LF [cont.] I thought Nancy would give me what I needed to pin charges of corruption on the Goth administration. The Simertarians’ name would be dirt. Exposing that sort of thing would set me up for the elections in 2024, supposing Cronin didn’t run of course.
VF: Of course.
LF: But all that’s ruined now. The Goths will go to the press in a matter of days, exposing Nancy as having manipulated the Business Department over the last 20 years. The Landgraabs have flouted environmental regulations for years, completely ignored workers’ rights rulings, bullied the IRS - they haven’t paid a Simoleon in tax for over a decade. They’ve had presidents in their pockets.
And now my influence over the investigation, diverting it from the Landgraabs, will come out. It will look like they bought me as well. I need to speak to the President as soon as he lands in Washingsim. I need a way out of this.

“Meet me at night”... “Cover of darkness”... “End of the Landgraabs”.
National Mall - Washingsim City
Bella Goth: Hello? I’ve come like you asked. Who are you? BG/LF [simultaneously]: You!?
Lily Feng: Goth! Who are you to “summon” me to a shadowy meeting - what would people say if they saw us together? I can’t be seen cavorting with washed up Simmertarians like you.
BG: What would I possibly have to say to you? Everyone knows that you’re in everyone else’s pocketWhat use would you be to me?
LF: How dare you!? I am in no one’s pocket.
BG: Everyone knows Nancy came to you at the penthouse at the Washingsim Siminental and afterwards the DoJ investigation mysteriously dried up.
LF: It’s none of your concern, but we’ve been pursuing new leads...
BG: Well, if you didn’t want to meet me for some grubby deal-making, and I certainly don’t want to dirty my hands with you... why are we both here?
Geoffrey Landgraab: Ladies...ladies... no need to bicker. Thank you both for coming, I know your time is valuable...

Best of Wives and Best of Women.
Transcript below.
Location – The Capitol – Chuck Logan’s office
1. 
Chuck Logan: Well, I am speechless
Bella Goth: That would be a first
2.
Mortimer Goth: Could this be a trap?
CL: It certainly is a trap, instigated by some Landgraab agent to incriminate you Morty
3.
BG: “But... but what if this is the answer to all our problems?”
CL: “Meet me at night”, “cover of darkness”, “end of the Landgraabs” it all reads like a bad soap opera.
MG: The last four years have been a bad soap opera...
4.
CL: Even if the author of this letter is legit, I dunno – what do they want? What do they stand to gain from all this? Their demands could be something you wouldn't or shouldn't give into. Then there is always the risk they will betray you to the press...
MG: All I want is to retire in peace and write a memoir that nobody will read.
BG: I’ll go, it has to be me, you need to stay away from this.
5.
CL: Well, I think you both should stay away, but hell, what do I know? Nothing risked, nothing gained.
BG: If Morty goes, he is a former President and incriminates himself, if its me and it is a trap, I’m just the same old "domineering" wife that the press have always painted me as.
BG: It has to be me.
