Friday Highlights - November 28th

Sul sul everyone!

I hope you’ve had a great week, especially if you are celebrating Thanksgiving since you got a shorter week than us, you lucky ducks! Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? It might be time to start the Christmas shopping already...

Let’s do a quick recap first:

• 🎲 Would you like to try out The Sims Board Game? You're in luck because on Monday, a Sims Board Game giveaway started on Discord with a chance to win one of 10 games!
  
  
• ❓Then on Tuesday, we got a awesome Q&A with the Sims Team on Discord. 
  
  
• 📨 And the latest Laundry List also got released on Tuesday, you can check it out here.

Going to the other side... posted here by sillyangel0906​ ​

And we can move on to the highlights!

• 🐺 We have a lot of screenshot threads in this community, but apparently we are still missing some! SanniSilli​ ​realised that we didn’t have a space yet for our werewolves, so they decided to start the Werewolves screenshot thread so we can finally see your beautiful furry sims! So far, we were introduced to Ikarios Goth, living in a mansion with horses and rabbits (the absolute dream), as well as a cute werewolf family on holiday in Selvadorada. Make sure to share with us your best screenshots of your favourite werewolves now that they are getting their dedicated space!
  
  
• ✨ A few days ago, Simmerville​ ​asked for suggestions regarding celebrity fan clubs, and most specifically about what to do with a fan club when a celebrity (in this case Olivia Clump) has passed or will be passing away. It’s very nice to see all the interesting suggestions! crocobaura​  suggests that Olivia’s house could be turned into a café where her fans could meet to reminisce about her and listen to her songs. Ellupelluellu​  ​added that portraits of her could be hanged in the place where the fan club regularly meets. Great advice to make sure that the fan club carries on,t that the fans keep meeting on a regular basis and maintain their bond 🤗
  
  
• 📹 We have a brand new chapter for The Fields Family Saga by Tcee11​  , and we are entering a new beginning: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again. In the latest episode, the Fields Family was reunited and living in Barnacle Bay. For this new story, we know that Emit will have to cause one more Time Warp to set things straight, so we are meeting a new Lilly Fields, a famous alien whose lifetime dream is to become a superstar athlete. In this video story, we follow Lilly for a full week as she goes to work, works out, participates in a hotdog eating contest, or maintains her good reputation as a celebrity. This is a perfect introduction to this new rendition of Lilly Fields, and a very well made story video!
  
  
• 🏗️ I’ll also include a small little thing for our Sims 3 players in here: TheUltimateSim34​​ is attempting to rebuild an old house from The Sims 3: Pets from PlayStation 3, but building from memory has its limitations. So if you own a copy of The Sims 3: Pets for PS3, you may be able to help out a fellow simmer by sharing a few pictures of the house 🙏
  
  
• 🌳 Finally, Cevans1962​  has shared a beautiful restaurant build located on Riverside Retreat in Granite Falls, Treesong. Entirely made with logs, it looks like a wood cabin and fits in perfectly with the landscape. It includes a dining room, a bar and lounge area, outdoor seatings and all other amenities, and is nicely furnished and decorated with a mix of rustic and modern items. It looks perfect for a date night, a family gathering, or for a brunch with friends. It would also be a good place to relax, have a nice meal and a refreshing walk in the forest after. Make sure to check out all the beautiful pictures, and you can also pick up this build on the Gallery if you’d like!
  
  

• 🦃 We got one last thing for you: since a lot of people are celebrating Thanksgiving this week, we wanted to use this occasion and invite you to share what you are thankful for! Even though it’s a bit cheesy, I am always thankful for all my family, my friends and my dog, and for all the nice food we get to share 😋. I am also thankful for the opportunity to be writing the Friday Highlights and for connecting with the awesome Sims community 😙 Not everyone can say that they write paragraphs about werewolves or sims-fan clubs as part of their daily job, so that’s pretty neat, and your comments are always so lovely and appreciated 💓
  
  

And that’s it for this week folks! Have a wonderful weekend, eat all the nice food, and see you next time - in December already 😨

Dag dag!
