Friday Highlights - March 13th

Sul Sul everyone!

It’s our favorite day of the week, and already the second Friday the 13th of the year! So how superstitious are you feeling today, will you be avoiding umbrellas and ladders? I live with a black cat, so I’ll be giving him extra cuddles and treats today to bribe him for some good luck 😸

Let’s quickly catch up on the news from this week: 

• On Tuesday, we got a sneak peek at the upcoming fixes with the newest Laundry List - take a look here to see what all will be included!

Now let’s get on to the highlights! 

• Let’s get our week started with a story from one of our current most popular threads, Darling Vampire, written by Frostysirenfox​. This story follows Lilith Darling, a young vampire navigating her way through the One Month One World One Year Challenge. Lilith has recently been on the run from a ruthless group of vampire hunters, and has just settled into her new home in Nordhaven. This week, she struggles with the loss of a dear old friend, but she’s surprised to find she’s not as alone as she thought… 🦊🦊🦊 There’s several more fantastic stories happening in this discussion as well, and all are worth reading, so be sure to check them all out, and feel free to join in with your own gameplay story as well! 
  
  
• Why settle on one architectural style for your house when you can have all of them? This week’s build, King of the Quarry, created by the_mikado​ is the perfect mashup of a French style chateau, a classic medieval castle, and canal house all with modern touches. This lovely estate includes an indoor pool, large dining and entertaining hall, small throne room, piano lounge room, and two bedrooms complete with en-suite bathrooms. If you’ve been looking for the right home but don’t want to settle on one particular style, this is the perfect castle for you! 🏰🏡
  
  
• Up next, we’ve got a brand new legacy gameplay story to follow along with called Grimms Generation, written by shandy_lou97​. The founding Sim for this legacy is Brynlee Grim, a young tattoo artist looking to start fresh. With only 20k to her name, her goal is to run a thriving business and become the best tattoo artist in Nordhaven. So will she make it? This story is just getting started, so be sure to follow along! ⚓🧑🏽‍🎨🖌️
  
  
• It’s been awhile since we had an update on one of my favorite occult gameplay stories, but this week we finally got a new chapter for The Tides of Power, written by simscognito​. This story follows Queen Melody, a royal siren with a deadly secret as she struggles with her insecurities and disloyal Court. This week, tensions are beginning to rise as she starts to suspect the worst from her chamberlain and advisor. This noble drama is full of deceit, action and fantasy, so if you’re looking for an exciting new story to binge, grab the popcorn and read on!🧜🏼‍♀️👑
  
  
• We’ll close our week out with a new Sims 3 World, Crimson Cliffs Inhabited, created by ump1vintti​. This once remote island is surrounded by dangerous waters and is now home to a small population of 60 residents who make their living off the natural gold veins located across the land. The town currently has 56 commercial lots, including a city hall, library, salon, and two schools, with several hangout spots like a lovely beach, fishing holes, and even a festival grounds. So if you’re looking to start a quiet new coastal life, be sure to check this world out and play with either the premade households each with a backstory and lore, or start your own family instead 🪨⛏️

And that’s a wrap for another exciting week! As always- stay safe, have a great weekend, and happy Simming! 💚

Till next time!
