Friday Highlights - August 22nd

Sul Sul folks!

I hope you’ve all had a fantastic week, and what better way to start the weekend than trying out the new creator kits? Let's just say, my sims will be more glammed up than myself this weekend…

Here’s what happened this week:

• On Monday, the Dev Diary regarding Ailments went live. If you’re interested in this topic, make sure to check it out!
• On Tuesday the latest game patch was released. You can catch up all the patch notes here.
• On Thursday we released Essential Glam and Grange Mudroom. If you have or will pick up one of those kits, make sure to share screenshots with us on the traditional screenshot thread!

Time for the highlights!

• Who said the wedding season was almost over? 💒 Certainly not BriiBear12​ , who loves photographing weddings 📸 Let’s just take a moment here to appreciate the beautiful pictures: the angle, the poses, the colours… Honestly, they look like professional pictures! Fernie and Nikolai opted for a Sylvan Glade wedding with a whimsical and fairy vibe, while Kalora and Keiran decided to get their pics taken in a beautiful flower field with butterflies. Which of those settings and pictures do you prefer? While it’s tough to choose, I absolutely love the first one with the sunset vibe and colours, it’s very beautiful and inspiring. Do you have any favourite wedding pics? Make sure to share them with us!
  
  
• Wedding season may be over soon, but it is definitely back-to-school season and ManicPot8to​ has the perfect build to share with us: Tiny Sprite Academy, a whimsical daycare for toddlers 🧒 The build includes a pastel playroom with plenty of toys to develop your tiny sims’ creativity, a snack room and a nap area. Toddlers can also use the playground outside and even attend a puppet show. The owner Marigold will be there to greet you and take care of all the kids, and she even has her own cosy space upstairs. That would be the ideal place for any toddlers, but specifically for fairies!The building in itself looks stunning with stone walls and ivy growing everywhere, and lots of flowers around 🤗 So make sure to catch the full house tour if you're interested!
  
  
• Next up, we got two new chapters this week for The Evergreen Legacy created by Lizzielilyy​. The end of school year is already there, and Hunter and Lief were nervous to open their results transcripts… for no reason, because they both passed with the best grades 👏 The two siblings celebrated with the graduation ceremony and plenty of pictures taken with their proud parents, but Hunter feels that he isn’t done with university yet! When they returned to their home shortly before winter, their sister Holly got a wonderful news, but tragedy suddenly struck the family. However, the whole clan tried to overcome it the best they could and it pulled them closer together as they celebrated Holly’s birthday. It looks like the Evergreens are not done yet with unexpected events, but I’m sure they will pull through once again as they always do! 💪
  
  
• In need of new challenges? Look no further, JAY-CAMAROGIRL-​ has plenty to offer, starting up with the Summer’s Last Splash CAS Challenge 🌊- how very fitting! How would your sim spend the last days of summer? Would they enjoy some peaceful time on the beach, go on a last camping trip, or attend a festival? 🌇 This is all up to you in this challenge, as you will need to create 1 to 4 sims with the Love Outdoor traits. Then, simply take pictures of your sims making the best out of their final summer days with the tag #JCGSummerSplash and make sure to share it in the thread! It looks like JAY-CAMARAOGIRL’s sim is having a nice relaxing time in Sulani - I have to say, that makes me a bit jealous 😆
  
  
• Finally if you’d like to try out one of the new creator kits, Grange Mudroom and Essential Glam, simgirl1010​ is hosting her traditional kit giveaway: in total, two codes are available for each kit. To enter the giveaway, simply comment on the thread (simgirl1010’s thread, not this one) your first and second choice of kit. The giveaway ends at 12am EST on August 27th and the winners will be announced the following day. Make sure to participate and just be sure to not spell out ‘Essential Clam’ of ‘Grange Mushroom’ like I always do 🐚🍄

Alrighty, it’s already time to say goodbye already but we will see you very soon! Enjoy your weekend and remember to stretch your back if you’re spending all your time gaming this weekend 🤸

Dag dag 👋
