Sul sul simmers!

Another Friday, another Highlights, another month that passed by… wait, we are almost in June already?! Did someone press the ultra speed button in real life? 😆

Let’s catch up on what you might have missed!

📅 On Tuesday, the Sim your Summer calendar was revealed so you can see all the exciting things happening this summer!
🔧 We also got a Sims 4 patch that same day and you can read the notes here. Make sure to update your game!
🐴 Hotties, mark your calendar! The(e) Megan Thee Stallion and Quen Blackwell will be doing a livestream on The Sims 4! Let's get Hot Girl Summer started 💃 Make sure to watch it live on May 30th, at 4:15PM (PT) or you can catch up on the replay right here 😛

And now, let's get to the Highlights!

🤭 Let's start off with a spicy discovery made by mikkimouse1978 recently, when things are getting a little TOO real in The Sims 4. Sometimes, things do not go as planned... let's hope that those sims have a better experience next time 🙈 Are there any details like this that you didn't expect, and that adds to realism? On a very different note, I found out randomly that one of my sims was left handed when she started painting. As a leftie I was totally shocked and very pleased to see that they added some left-handed sims in the game, it's something I wouldn't have even thought about!
🏡 For our Sims 3 players, texansky has added another chapter to the Marsden Farm Challenge, their own take on the Farming Challenge with a Twist originally made by PianoAshes. The challenge started with Loni and her father Fred, who was too ill to work, so Loni had to take care of themselves in their new home. Now we’re on Chapter 38 already and things have changed quite a bit: Phoenix, Christian’s alien son, is all grown up and is celebrating his birthday after going to Prom, and had a graduation celebration - his dad would be so proud! 🤩 He is pursuing a very interesting career and I’m sure he is going to do wonders. Make sure to catch up on the new chapter because a lot of exciting things are happening for the siblings!
📖 Storytellers, this is your time to shine! LadyRaevyn wants to start writing stories on the forums (great idea!) and would like to know what is the best way to incorporate pictures but isn’t sure about how much they should add, if new pictures should be uploaded regularly… What is your favorite way to incorporate images into your stories? I don’t think there are any particular rules, I have seen stories with dozens of pics, and other threads with a handful of images throughout the whole plot just to show the characters and places. But you might have other tips and tricks to share! We can’t wait to see what stories Walllyinc will be crafting! 👀
🏘️ Build of the week is brought to you by Ennamora with the beautiful Quarter Acre Homestead, a lovely little farm with big gardens. It has two bedrooms, a spacious kitchen and a very cosy living room with a fireplace and bookshelves (obviously). I love the interior brown and light green colours that make the whole place very harmonious. Outside you will find an area for the chickens with their own pond 🐔 fruits and vegetables gardens - your sims might almost be self sufficient in there!
💒 This week, shandy_lou97 has been trying out the Sims 4 Wedding Stories pack for the first time, and things did not go as planned unfortunately! Well, it didn’t seem to start off on the right foot for bride and groom Allie and Francis, because Allie was pregnant with someone else’s baby... 🤨 An unfortunate accident happened during the ceremony, ruining Allie’s beautiful dress. And after the wedding, as she gave birth to her daughter, Francis was thrilled to be a “father” to baby Holly 😵 Should we even wish them a “happily ever after” at this point? Did you have crazy wedding stories in your game? I tried to plan a wedding ceremony once, and the guests showed up hours later, so out of spite I cancelled everything - no wedding cake for the rude guests 😤
