Friday Highlights - August 29th

Sul Sul everyone!

It’s our favorite day of the week and September is just around the corner. Have you got any exciting plans for the long weekend ahead? Any fun trips planned before summer is over? Let me know what you’ve been up to! 

Now let’s get on to this week’s highlights!

• The Sims 4 recently turned 11 years old, which means plenty of time to rack up your Time Played hours in the EA app, so Simian868​ wants to know - How many hours have you played? While I’m impressed with my personal 4,623 hours (a total of 192 days!) since the game first launched, I know this is peanuts compared to some of you. So how many hours are you currently clocked in at, and how long have you been playing? Be sure to show off all those hours played, and let’s see who’s got the most! ⏲️⏲️⏲️
  
  
• This week the world’s best seasonal drink returned to Starbucks, so to celebrate the massive amounts of Pumpkin Spice Lattes I’ll be consuming, we're showing off this new challenge created by Storytellerwhims​, That’s So Starbucks Legacy. There are 10 generations to play through, each inspired by legendary Starbucks drinks with fitting backstories, rules and goals. This challenge is a tall order, so if you’re in need of a little caffeine-fueled pick me up in your game, or even just looking for new drink ideas for your Starbucks order, you’ll want to check out this new challenge! ☕🥤
  
  
•  Up next, our very own rosemow​  has created a brand new Share Your WIP discussion to show off all your not quite finished, but still impressive creations! There’s nothing I love more than swooning over all the fantastic things this community makes, so why wait until they’re fully finished to show them off? Whether you’re wanting a place to flaunt your newest unfinished builds, or even looking for some feedback on decor, be sure to share with us what you’re currently working on 🚧🏗️ And once you’ve finished, don’t forget to share in the long running Newest Creations discussion here so we can admire all your hard work! 
  
  
• Need a build to show off in the WIP thread? No worries, 7cjqum2k33j2​ has you covered with this new gameplay challenge - Rebuilding Newcrest. This is a 10 generation challenge focused on rebuilding and redesigning the world of Newcrest as each generation will complete bigger and more expensive builds to pass on to their heirs. From a cramped camper all the way to a grandiose mansion, you’ll have a specific set of rules to follow on how to earn money, what lot size to build, and even a set color palette for your home’s decor. So if you’re ready for a fun new challenge, get building, and be sure to share what you create! 🧱🏡
  
  
• And to finish us up, we have an occult legacy gameplay story written by Maireaine​  called The Munster Legacy. This week marked the beginning of generation 3 as we follow heir Stella Munster, a young and talented gardener. She aspires to revive her neighborhood and leave the world a better place, but little does she know, fate has a different plan in store. So will Stella find out her true destiny? Will she be able to mark her own path, separate from her father’s legacy? Make sure you tune in to find out! 🌱🌳

And that's a wrap for the month of August! As always have a wonderful weekend, stay safe, and happy Simming 💚
Till next time!
