A week on The Sims Forums

Sul sul folks!

I hope you had a great week and are looking forward to the weekend! We’re having wonderful weather here, it’s almost uncanny, but we won’t complain! Do you have exciting plans, or are you taking it easy this weekend? I’ll be trying to catch as much Vitamin D as possible and sit in the sun like a lizard 😎

A little bit of news before we start…

🔍 If you didn’t watch it live on Thursday, you can catch up on the livestream with SpringSims on Twitch, who did a deep dive into the three newest kits (Kitchen Clutter, Restoration Workshop, and Golden Years) !

Now let's hop ( 🐰) into the highlights!

🌹 Have you been following the Bachelor Challenge by QuinShay5 ? It’s already on episode 13! The Rose Ceremony is still happening despite the power conservation day (production should have picked another date), and with a shocking turn of events, you will not believe who didn’t receive a rose that evening 🤫 Who do you think will eventually conquer Eric’s heart? Who will be the last one standing? And most importantly, what happened in the nightclub with Morgan? 😶 Stay tuned for the next episode!
👪 We have another challenge for The Sims 3 this time with karritz's take on the Perfect Genetics Challenge - as a reminder, you have to create a sim with unique hair and eye colour and make it to the 10th generation without losing the genes. In this challenge, Donna, currently a teenager, is part of the 2nd generation of holding the genes and will be having babies to (hopefully) take part in the 3rd generation. In this episode, a few birthdays are celebrated and the household tries out different hobbies - as you can imagine with this type of challenge, there are a lot of siblings in the family! Let’s hope that Donna passes her beautiful hair and eye colour to her future offsprings so that the challenge can continue! Let’s all wish karritz’s good luck on the journey 🍀
👧 A new chapter of Tartosan Sun: Journeys by DaniRose2143 has been released this week, for those who have been following the journeys of Danielle, Liberty, Summer, Londyn, Venessa, Mimi and all the others. In this episode, Londyn gets ready for a very important interview, and Mimi starts questioning if she should talk about her family with her new friends. Finally, the two girls alongside Venessa blow off some steam at the end of the day with a memorable karaoke night. 🎤 I can’t wait to see what Londyn is going to accomplish in her new adventure, and I hope Mimi gets a break from family drama. 🥺
🏡 The build of the week is brought to you by cozysimslifeyt with Grandma’s Cozy Cottage and it looks perfect for the warm and sunny days. It was built for Grandma Rose, a retired baker, and her granddaughter Liv who spends some time there during summer breaks. It has an adorable front porch that looks like the perfect place for enjoying a cold drink and watching people passing by, a beautiful open kitchen with a vintage charm, a cosy living room with a fireplace, two bedrooms and enough clutter and personal items to add personal touches to the house. You can also find a speed build on cozysimslifeyt’s YouTube channel if you’d like to recreate the house or get some inspiration! 🎨
🦃 Finally for our cooler weather lovers, GalacticGal has a story that might be perfect for you: Cantrell: The Middle Years. Eric, a talented musician, his wife Kaleigh and their children celebrate Thanksgiving with their family. Eric navigates through regular day-to-day life, his two boys' fear of potential monsters under the bed, the preparations of the Thanksgiving meal, and his demanding job obligations. The first chapter is beautifully written and even though I'm currently more into a springy mood, I can't wait to read what happens next!
