Presidential Sims

Welcome to Presidential Sims 

Presidential Sims is a tumblr set in the fictional United States of Simerica telling the stories of its Presidents. 

The incumbent is 26th President Henry Arthur Cronin. 

If you would like to read the story from the beginning and see the final months of the Goth administration’s gaffe-filled reign, click on the first link below.

You can read President Cronin’s first term in office so far by clicking on the second link, where Cronin and his family will endure a hostile press and the political fallout from scandals during the previous administration.

But life (and politics) is lived in the here and now, so you can skip all that and see the latest post by clicking on the third link.

Presidential Sims: Election Year

Happy Winterfest from the Simerican first family.

Happy Holidays everyone! Thank you all for the love and support again this year it has been amazing! Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a very happy new year!!

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! 

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).

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!!

Transcript below the cut.

tagged by @theroyalthrones @armoricaroyalty @the-lancasters 💚 thanks! 😊

Favorite Color: Navy blue or deep emerald green. Saying that most of my clothes are grey, white or black lol

Currently Reading: Personally reading The seven husbands of Evelyn Hugo! I've put this off for a while and I dunno why as i'm really enjoying it! and for Uni I'm currently reading about the reformation!

Last Song you Listened To: Måneskin - The Loneliest (it's been on repeat all morning!)

Last Series Watched: The Watcher - on netflix, would not recommend. Ending was super disappointing.

Sweet, Savory, or Spicy: Savory all day everyday! I cannot handle spice at all, I wish I could, but I just can't.

Craving: Nachos! Which will hopefully be sated in about 4 hours time!

Tea or Coffee: Coffee in the morning, sometimes two! and tea in the afternoon.

Working on: For uni I'm working on an assignment about the print revolution. For the simblr I'm slowly working on the next couple of posts, I just need to take screenshots and edit them and recolour a few objects, loads to do and hardly anytime to do it!

tagging: everyone seems to have been tagged - so if you haven't just take this as your invitation to do it! 😊

AH! this is crazy nice of you to say!💚I'm still learning a lot and I have been going between GIMP and CANVA recently, sometimes using both.

So with the campaign poster's I first made the logos for the three main Simerican political parties.

The blue buffalo is for the Simtrist party (Cronin's party) the red torch is for the Simertarian party and the pick and shovel are for the SWP - Sim Workers Party.

Once I have the theme finalised I then made their posters using one on CANVA pro as a base and then edited them for each party in their party colours. The SWP and Simertarian posters are in the actual colours above BUT Cronin's is done in the blue of the Presidency and not the party - just to get home the point that he IS the President. I then chose poses that made Cronin look more "proud" and Hatfield more cold/distance/aloof and Stokes from the SWP she is posed to hopefully look warm and inviting but confident.

The three posters are done to look almost unified, but slightly different. I also added the White House to Stokes poster to make the point that she is fighting for the White House and I added the Capitol building into the background of Hatfield's as he believes it to be a temple for democracy.

I dunno if this was at all helpful?, so if there is anything else you want to know or ask, just send me a message! 😊💚

Hi! Thanks for the ask 💚

EASY! Miss Madelène Cronin.

I'm really and I mean REALLY debating doing a spinoff that picks up with Madelène in her mid 50s. I dunno if anyone would be interested in that, but who knows... maybe one day she will get her story told. 💚💚💚

Here is a recent picture I took of her in the meantime! She has her father's eyes and her mother's pout!

Hi!

This is a great question! OK, in no particular order...

San Myshuno - I love city worlds, I'm really excited about the new worlds that will be coming next year, as they both look more urban/city orientated. I also love the big 64x64 as it has come in so handy for the simblr. I just would have loved some kind of large road/Mall leading to that lot!

Selvadorada - I love this world, it's beautiful and detailed and immersive and I'm just drawn to it. Again I'm really hoping for more Latin American influenced worlds, especially a latin American themed city/town.

Windenberg - Its stunningly beautiful, large, HAS TWO 64x64 lots! it is honestly one of the most perfect worlds! It really influenced the creation of Felsenbourg and really helps me be creative when I have such a beautiful environment already created.

Brindleton Bay - same as above, large lots, detailed streets, gives off really lovely east coast vibes - hamptons, newport etc I LOVE IT!

Tartosa - Its stunningly beautiful, its a lovely size, the lots feel really connected to the world and every angle is a good screenshot!

Hi!

Ok, so I'm so sorry this is coming so late!

Last time I picked the President himself, so this time I will pick...

Camila Pauli

Camila is a twin. She has a twin brother called Carlos, although close they do not share the same bond that she has with her youngest brother - Victor, who she refers to as her true twin.

Camila was born near the Selvadoradan rainforest of Belomisia in Puerto Llamante. Her mother's family owns a huge hacienda, located on the outskirts of town.

Camila does not currently live in Selvadorada as she moved to Del Sol valley several years ago when her acting career gained momentum. Victor has become her unofficial roommate.

Camila never wanted her father to run for the Selvadoradan presidency as she is fiercely protective of her family. Although against the idea, she campaigned for her father, and still remains one of his most loyal supporters.

As Camila is family orientated she is very excited to marry into the Drake family, and start a little dynasty of her own one day.

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.
