A week on The Sims Forums

Sul Sul everyone!

Happy Friday, and happy December! Can you believe we’ve only got a few more weeks left of 2025? I feel like this year has flown by. Have you all started your Christmas shopping and wrapping? What presents are you hoping to get from Father Winter this year? I’ve got my fingers crossed for a new crock pot and coffee maker 🙏

Did you catch all the news from this week?

On Tuesday, the newest game update was released which included a number of fixes, and a sneak peek at our upcoming Creator Kit - Prairie Dreams. For a full list of what was included with this update, check out the notes here.
And on Thursday, our two newest kits, SpongeBob’s House and SpongeBob Kids Room launched. Don’t forget to join our Official Screenshot Thread for these kits to show off all your nautical new builds!

If you still need to decorate your house for the holidays, cozysimslifeyt can give you some great inspiration with this Festive Christmas apartment build! Nestled into the Fashion District of San Myshuno, this little apartment includes 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, a cozy kitchen and dining nook, and a small but inviting living room with a perfect view of the city below. Each room is decorated floor to ceiling with Christmas lights, garland, and snowflakes, so if you’re looking to add a little Christmas magic to your game, be sure to check it out! 🎄🎁
Earlier this year, we highlighted a lovely little slice of life gameplay story by DaniRose2143 called Diary of a Country Girl. Well we’ve got an exciting new update as Aurora and Tre recently welcomed the newest member of the family, Kya! Since we last heard from them, the couple has settled into parenthood, found success in their farm store (despite a few rowdy customers) and expanded the family even more with a new litter of puppies. Life is good out in the country, so be sure to settle in for this heart-warming story. 🐕🐾
If you’re needing a build that’s a little less seasonal, sirhc59 has got one for you with this Family Base Game Home. This traditional two-story home opens up into a red and black modern style living room with a large attached kitchen and dining area. Upstairs, you’ll find 3 bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a balcony overlooking a small front garden. This classic home also includes a backyard with a playground, BBQ pit, and pool, all perfect for hosting neighborhood BBQs or pool parties. And bonus - this entire build is base game only! 🏊👒
