Friday Highlights - March 20th

Sul Sul !

Today is the Spring Equinox 💮 The trees are starting to blossom, I spotted a couple of butterflies already, and Flower Bunny must be paying us a visit very soon... It will soon be time for the traditional Spring Cleaning, but it's also so tempting to just daze in the sun 🌞

Let’s recap what happened this week:

• On Tuesday there was a new base game update. You can catch up on the notes here.
  
  
• This new update also introduced The Sims Marketplace! If you're not sure what this is about, you can find all the details here!

And now let’s jump into the Highlights:

• 🌌 Sometimes, it’s impossible to let go of a sim who passed away. This week, EnkiSchmidt​ is narrating Gavin’s Soul Journey and his return to the world of the living and his (hopefully) reunion with his partner Daniel and their children. Gavin is learning progressively how to achieve this goal, such as leveling up his charisma skills or giving back to the community, and getting closer (literally) to the house he once shared with Daniel. It might be a bumpy ride, but Gavin won't give up until he is reunited with his loved ones. Let’s wish him the best of luck and let’s keep a close eye on his adventures!
  
  
• 📚 We have a new chapter of JesLet40​'s story challenge Creek Tales - A Pack Legacy. Christmas, Willow’s daughter, is leaving forever the toddlers days and celebrates her birthday. She grows up as a curious child and starts making new experiences such as fishing or joining the Scouts, which gives Willow a bit more time to herself to focus on her work, even though seeing her little girl growing up is always bittersweet. On Sandy’s side, she celebrates completing her life Aspiration as well as good news from her job, while her son Sunny is about to become a teenager. Everything seems to be going well so far for the family and for the challenge!
  
  
• ☄️ It only took thirteen years for StephSteb​ to experience it more than once, but it’s never too late: a meteor finally hit a very unlucky member of the active family. What a way to go... 😬 And just after getting married too! Luckily, this poor sim had been saved before the unfortunate incident, so she’s getting a second shot at life. Maybe it’s a hint that she should play the lottery! Have you ever had a meteor strike one of your sims before? Did you manage to save them like StephSteb did or did let the story unfold? The other sims will have a hell of a story to tell at parties…
  
  
• 🎃 Spring may have just started, but did you also know that Halloween is only 225 days away? For the occasion, froggy2747​ is sharing a very nice treat with the Sweet Surprise build, a cosy Halloween cafe and communal area for everyone to enjoy. Your sims can enjoy a nice mug of tea or hot chocolate while grabbing a book from one of the many shelves. The place is also perfect for children as they can have fun with the Halloween-themed playground and admire the beautiful pumpkins and scarecrows. It’s never too early to plan for Spooky Season, so make sure to check out this build if you’re interested!
  
  
• 👑 PaxxieLovesDinos​ is releasing the newest chapter of Around the World Legacy, where Lis has been invited to join the ranks of the Young Nobles, a very exclusive club, which could help her opening more opportunities. Lis is stunned by the beautiful ballroom as she learns how to waltz, sword fighting, and all the proper etiquette. After a discussion with her friend Aeris about the Young Nobles club, Lis plans to celebrate Harvestfest with her friend Arabella, but there might be a lot of planning required, such as cooking a seemingly unlimited amount of different dishes… Hopefully she will be able to tackle this and enjoy the festivities, but we’ll have to wait for the next chapter to find out!
  
  

And that concludes another week! Have a great weekend, and see you soon! 🤗
