A week on The Sims Forums

Sul sul yall!

It’s finally Friday, and I hope you all have had a wonderful week! Have you got any exciting plans for the weekend now that the weather is getting colder? Since basketball season has officially started, I’ll be watching lots of games while I carve pumpkins and bake some seasonal treats 😊

Did you catch the updates from this week?

  • On Tuesday, we celebrated 15 years of It Gets Better with a festive live Twitch event! If you missed it, you can watch it here.

Ready for our highlights? 

  • Halloween is only 7 days away, which means it’s time for one of the best (and messiest) seasonal traditions- pumpkin carving! If you still need to pick a pumpkin, no worries, shandy_lou97​  has plenty available to grab in this very cute small business - Pumpkin Patch! This haunted lot includes a small 2 bedroom cabin ready to be furnished, a large pumpkin patch, carving stations, and several seasonal photo ops. So whether you’re wanting to run your very own business selling pumpkins, or just wanting to grab some spooky selfies, be sure to visit this lot! 🎃😱👻

  • This week, we got an update on one of the forum’s most famous families in this new chapter of Cantrell: the Middle Years, created by GalacticGal​. In this chapter, Erik looks to reinvent himself with a new haircut and fresh studio album - but some things never change as this week the twins continue their reign of chaos with constant bickering. But despite the week’s rocky start, Erik and Kayleigh head to the Starlight Accolades in hopes of another big win for the new album. Be sure to check out the newest chapter in this family saga to see what happens next! 🏆🏆🏆

  • We have some more spooky fun with this world rebuild project by Skittle402​, Monster High World. Based in Coppderale, this custom world includes a number of renovated lots like a nightclub on a graveyard, a haunted coffee shop, and of course, the infamous high school. Be sure to check out this very detailed world, and share any custom worlds you’ve been working on as well! 🏫🧟‍♀️

  • We’ll finish our week off with a whimsical rags to riches gameplay story - A Fairy's Journey to Pop Stardom, written by Maeluun​. This story follows Lily Gilmore, a young fairy with big dreams as she aspires to become a famous musician. This week, she leaves her quiet life in Innisgreen behind and moves to Del Sol Valley with nothing but the clothes on her back. With empty pockets and stars in her eyes, Lily is determined to make her dreams come true. So will she make it big and become a global superstar, or will the road to fame be too much for her? Make sure you check out this magical gameplay story to find out! ⭐🧚




And that's a wrap for this week! As always- I hope you have a wonderful weekend, stay safe and happy Simming 💚

Till next time!

  • EA_Solaire Thank you so much for your very kind words about my chapter on the Cantrell Family. Not going to lie, it brought tears to my eyes, it was so touching.

    My congratulations to all who were given the nod. Well done!

    Thank you. In RL I find myself seriously considering having my own locks shorn off. Well, not shorn as in making me bald, but very short as in Pixie cut, or what we used to call a Beatle cut. It's very bad on the hair to blow it dry when it's long. And trying to stay warm with a wet head during this time of year, is hard. I hate being cold.
