Corinne Dougham - Lady of Crestville

Well, you know her pretty well if you watched As Sims Go By - she is a member of the secret cartel, as well as the wife of Mayor Charloman C. Dougham. In fact, she is the original Dougham, she is even Lady of Crestville.

This is a low nobility peerage, but as the other Newcrest peerages expired, Corinne is currently the only noble peer of the district. Her ancestors never did it big - they started at selling spice in Myshuno, they were honored with the Pepper peerage early on, and their seat was the Salt House. However, the male line vanished, and the Lord of Pepper is no more. Being the only peer of Newcrest, Corinne still dreams of becoming high nobility. She could become Baroness of Crestville, or of Crest, even, but it might look a bit fishy applying while her husband is the region’s Mayor.

They have 3 children, trips aged 13, and a house guest, Mirard Jumba, who rescued their daughter Wilhelmina from the wildlife in Selvadorada. They were of course grateful, and Charloman insisted on the poor old man living with them for a while. Corinne hates the man, he even insulted her for raising the triplets in a poor way, and she called him bad things... They hardly spoke after that event, and her biggest wish is that the jungle man shall leave them - for good!.

Today Mirard toughed her to fertilize the garden plants, though. She is amazed by his skills and manners, and being the Patron of Crest Horticultural Society, she really should know about fertilizing. But she is more interested in her Newcrest shopping mall than gardening.

There is no doubt who is the boss of this house. There are also numerous large paintings and photos of the Lady of Crestville, not so many of the other household members. Charloman has the Lord title, but he doesn’t care a lot, he focus the more on their children.

Tonight they celebrated Charloman’s Adult birthday! It was just the family, but at least he got a birthday cake - that he baked himself. Corinne turns 60 this year, and she might throw a propper party later on.

First she wants to get rid of the old Mirard Jumba...

Election: 3 candidates (1:3)

Region 12′s Election Day is coming up very soon, and the full day event will be covered both on my main blog and with a Reg12 NEWS Election Day Special on my YouTube channel. 33 candidates will be fighting it out to become local Hood Contacts, then each District (=world) choose one of the Hood Contacts to be their Councilor, and finally the top ranked Councilor will be offered the Mayor position for the coming 5 years.

It’s the perfect time to introduce some of the candidates! Before each election I stop by all candidates to have them update their Simstagram (social media followers is just one of several factors that will decide their final vote), and for some I remembered to take a picture. Here is part 1 of 3.

Ms Siobhan “Joanna” Fyres (42), Fashion District SM

Joanna represents the LEFT party, and is pretty well known as one of the main characters of my As Sims Go By video series. Working as the Council House Secretary since 10 years means she has a pretty good political network. This is her first run for Hood Contact, though, and her hood will be one of the hardest to win, with candidates from all three parties.

She resides alone in a small rented apartment, and is oldest daughter of Dominic Fyres, Lord von Dresden, of Deadgrass and von Haunt. Her son David (5) currently lives with his grandparents in Windenburg. And finally - Joanna is engaged! Will she be capable of having a political career on top of working and starting a new family?

Rebekah Starks (38), Old Crest NC

Rebekah is a brand new face (even to me), quite young but already determined to make a political difference. She was raised by workers in Evergreen Harbor, now lives alone in Old Crest. She is a regional board member of the national  Green Lipz organization, which is not a political party but a long going interest group with strong focus on environmental matters (Green Lipz was actually founded by my TS2 teen Bambi Ballong ;) ).

Rebekha is running for the MIDDLE party for Hood Contact in Newcrest’s oldest hood, Old Crest, and she is ambitious enough to aim for the Council, too! But will she be experienced enough to beat the current Newcrest Councilor, who is also Region 12′s sitting Mayor?

Charloman Au. C. Dougham (51), Crestville NC

Well known from leading Region 12′s council through the past 5 years, but he was even a Councilor representing Newcrest before that. Charloman grew up in Gloomville’s finest hood, and moved to Newcrest as he married to the wealthy (and dominating) Corinne Dougham, Lady of Crestville. Which eventually made him Lord of Crestville. They have triplets who are about to become teens.

Charloman represents the RIGHT party, and his motto is “No Sim Left Behind”. His local rival is the same Rita Sufferville who he easily won over 5 years ago. But if he keeps his Crestville win, can he also keep the Newcrest Councilor position for the coming 5 years? And if he succeeds, he can’t take for granted that he will rank first at the Council House.

If you watched my video series As Sims Go By you must have noticed Corinne Dougham! Yes, it should not surprise anyone that she is of noble heritage, being the current Lady of Crestville. She is a business minded sim, and some might suggest that she behaves as if her peerage was of high nobility, which is not the case. In the upcoming episode she gets criticised from unexpected hold. And it looks like she could hardly believe what she just heard, LOL.

Corinne has been married with Charloman Augustus (Crumpleton) Dougham for many years, and they have triplets aged 9. They are both members of the Right Party, and Charloman is Region 12′s current Mayor. Power to the Doughams!

Next episode is coming up this weekend. There’s just enough time to warm up by watching previous 9 episodes :)
