Let's catch up on this week's highlights!

• To celebrate the two newest Creator Kits, our very own simgirl1010 hosted a giveaway for both the Sleek Bathroom and Sweet Allure kits - big congrats to the 4 winners, mariefoxprice83, Asatoria, gamegirl2168, and ilmonegure! Don’t forget to to check out our official screenshot thread here for these kits and show off your new builds and very fashionable new outfits 🛁👗
  
  
• For this week’s build, we’re going retro with belalucina’s Sims 4 rendition of the classic 56 Ingleside Drive from The Sims: Unleashed. With exact furniture placement, a red tiled front garden, small ponds, and even the signature blue couch, this build is a perfect replica of the original (with slightly more stylish wallpaper). Be sure to check this thread out for remakes of all your favorite original Sims households! And for my very talented builders out there- who’s willing to take on rebuilding the classic Sims 4 houses in The Sims Legacy Collection? 🙃
  
  
• Up next, we have a long-running gameplay story inspired by the Decades Challenge, The Whittaker Saga, written by JesLet40. This story began in the 1890’s, originally following founder Abigail Spencer as she finds love and builds a family of her own. 3 generations later, we’ve now progressed into the 1960’s, and this week’s update focuses on Barbara, Thomas and Betty as they deal with a bathtub stealing burglar and welcome in the newest arrival of generation 4 👶💖 If you’re interested in a historical and emotional story, be sure to check this one out as it moves closer to the 21st century!
  
  
• The Sims is a game full of all kinds of surprises, and mlnov39 wants to know about some of the most unexpected plot twists you’ve encountered in your gameplay. The first (and only) time I ever attempted a Legacy Challenge, my founding Sim had just met a partner to start their family with and had planned a quiet dinner date at home. With Frank and Beans being the obvious choice for a romantic dish, my Sim began cooking, and immediately caught the entire kitchen on fire and died on the spot. And before it had even begun, my Legacy Challenge was over ☠️ But tell us about some of the unplanned twists you’ve run into- have you had any Sims suddenly die and ruin a challenge like me? Or maybe your Sim met an unintended partner that changed their trajectory entirely? Be sure to share your favorite unforeseen story twists with us!
  
  
• And finally, AidenNite10 has created a Gallery Showdown for all you wonderful speed builders out there- this challenge is all about creating any type of build you can imagine from mansions, to starter homes, to venues and racing to see who can complete their lot first! So do you think you can build your way to the top of the scoreboard? Let’s see what you've got! 🏁🏗️

And that’s all for another wonderful week! As always, stay safe everyone, have a wonderful weekend, and happy Simming 💚
Till next time!
