The votes are in. Let's meet the new hood council!

So the votes are in, and we have the results.
I've put the poll on N99 as well, and I have to say that the outcome was quite different from here!
I've calculated the scores from both polls, and here are the results:

Elections 2026: Let the voing begin!

It's election time in SimsVille! I think it's the first time I do them like this and I have to say I'm kind of nervous :)

The first candidate is Dirk Penninkmeijer. After his father-in-law, Frederik Penninkmeijer, announced his retirement, every one expected his elders dautgher, Catherine to step up, but she decided to actively support her husband.
Dirk is married to Catherine Penninkmeijer, and together they have 4 children, 2 sets of twins, Elisabeth, Margaret, Stephanie and Nicholas.

If elected, Dirk plans to add and improve culture-facilities both in SimsVille and Simmeria. Current ideas are: a concert hall, modern museum of art, recording studio, dance studio, ...

The Simmerian - January 2026 Issue

Now that her only daughter is expeting het first child, Ella and Gunnar decided that it was time to move back to SimsVille/Simmeria, after traveling the world for almost 3 years.

Round 14 ROS

No breaks from the dead-ROS this time around, it's been 2 rounds without one, so I didn't allow myself to pass on it this time...

* Win the Simmerian Best Essay: (d100) x 5 - this fits this sim pretty well.

* Ouch! You've been in a car accident! Lose 5 body points and 2 active points. Miss work (or call in sick) for 2 days, physical therapy - It's something different, and even possible since this sim actually owns a car.

* Woohoo RIGHT NOW - again fits this sim/couple very nicely :)

* Death by electrocution - didn't want this one, and would like my ROS without it.

* Sibling rivalry. Fight between siblings - I don't think it fits this person that well, but it's not unthinkable either.
