A week on The Sims Forums

Sul Sul everyone!

We’ve made it to yet another Friday, and the holiday season is fast approaching. Halloween is only 21 days away! Have you got your costumes picked out yet? Are you watching all your favorite Halloween movies? I’ve had Hocus Pocus and The Addams Family on repeat in my house ☺️

Let’s catch up on the news from this week!

On Tuesday, we got an exciting update - MySims and MySims Kingdom will be available on Apple Arcade starting November 6th! For more details, check out the article here.
On Thursday, our newest Kit, Autumn Apparel launched! Don’t forget to cozy up with our Autumn Apparel Official Screenshot Thread to show off all your best fall looks 🍂

Ready for this week’s highlights?

Last week, the newest expansion pack finally arrived, and while most of us have been playing non-stop, there’s still so many new things to discover so catloverplayer has started this enlightening Adventure Getaway Did You Know Thread. Did you know that panning for crystals boosts your Sim’s Gemology skill? Or that using the insect farm with Eco Lifestyle boosts entomology? Be sure to check out this thread for new gameplay features you might have missed, and share any secrets you uncover! 💎🐛
With this week’s launch of the Autumn Apparel Kit, we have yet another fabulous giveaway hosted by the one and only simgirl1010! To enter, share your favorite fall activity (does shopping for Halloween decor count?🙃) and you can win one of two codes for this new kit. This giveaway will be running until Tuesday the 14th, so be sure to get your entries in, and best of luck!
And for our Sims 3 players - what better way to celebrate the beginning of October than with a Tiny Builds Halloween Challenge created by soocoolsim! Your challenge is to create a residential or community lot no bigger than 10x10 using a Halloween color palette and items from the Halloween Treats collection. With no limit on budget or packs, you can let your imagination and creativity run wild! So tap into your inner witch and embrace the spooky vibes with this build challenge and show us what you’ve created! 🎃🦇🐈‍⬛
Up next, we have a refreshing Getaway renovation based on the Revive and Thrive Retreat, created by littlebonnieblue. This serene fitness retreat includes a total of 10 guest cabins, a spin class studio, weight room and a large pool with a full bar. Nestled in the woods of Jellyfish Junction, this Getaway is the perfect spot for a fitness retreat, spa weekend, or even just a relaxing day at the pool, so be sure to check it out! 🏊‍♀️🏋️
Let’s wrap our week up with another incredible build - Maison de Pecheur, created by Cevans1962. This French cottage style home includes 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, and an in-home office with modern decor and furnishing. With lush flowerbeds and ivy covered walls, I could easily spend my entire weekend enjoying the back garden with a nice book 📖💖 You certainly wouldn’t want to miss out on such a lovely little home, so be sure to check this one out!
