A week on The Sims Forums
Sul sul everyone!
October is here, which means it’s now officially Spooky Season!! 🦇🎃 Do you have any exciting plans for this month? I'll be watching the Halloween classics, listening to my spooky playlist over and over, and I even got an exciting spooky advent calendar this year 🤗
Let's catch-up on fang-tastic updates first:
-
On Thursday, we announced a Simstober social challenge, make sure to check out all the details here if you’d like to get into the Halloween mood!
- We also have another month-long Simstober Discord challenge, you can catch up on Day One here!

Now if you dare, let's check out the highlights!
- 🌃 Let’s get right in the mood for Spooky Season with the Ravenwood Curse challenge by 41978edb529afc77 ! This is a 7-generation horror legacy challenge which includes supernatural elements, mysteries, and a cursed item of your choice. Each of your generation will have to move to a different world, complete specific objectives, and pass the mysterious cursed item to the next generation. There is a twist in this challenge, so you can avoid it or you can already take a look at the final challenge's description. The most important thing to remember is that you’re still playing this challenge your own way so everyone will have a unique story or outcome! I can’t wait to see what you come up with 👻🌑

💬 Next, SimulationBuilds is asking what gameplay or feature systems you like most in the game. Some of you like Aspirations because it gives you a goal to achieve, similarly to the lot challenges. It’s also great to have different options for our sims to make money, such as earning royalties for their published books, or by setting up a small business. I’m very basic when it comes to my games so I like to keep it simple, and for that I need my trusted cheats to get instantly rich or bring back all of my sims’ needs in the green in the blink of an eye 😆 What about you, which features from the game are your favourite? 🤓

🗨️ Another great discussion from kukkahilla , asking this time how much do we help our sims in their daily lives. Do you help them around the house, putting away dirty dishes and leftovers, replacing burnt or broken appliances… or do you let your sims handle all the chores? 🛁 I love that nearly everyone in the thread will have different opinions when it comes to plates or repairing items, but everyone makes sure to put the leftovers in the fridge yourselves (nobody likes wasting food!!). I usually let my sims do their own cleaning unless it gets too messy. I spent enough time cleaning my own house, so they can take the time to put the dishes in the dishwasher 😄

🏡 For this week’s build, penguinwa101 has been sharing their newest build after coming back into the game, The Kokomo. Perfect for a single sim or a couple, The Kokomo includes everything you need: a wide living room, a spacious open kitchen, and a master bedroom with a bathroom. The house is a lovely yellow colour, as well as a large porch. At the back, you’ll find a barbecue for the summer lunches or dinners. This would be a great addition near a beach or set in the desert. 🌴 Make sure to check out this charming house for more details, or if you think it would be a perfect addition to your game 🤗

Finally if you have been following The Sims 3’s Petite Alsace world collaboration, the wrap up is currently in progress and we already got a first video tour showcasing some of the builds by soocoolsim ! Make sure to tune it to check out the tour of Strasbourg and Avenue du Rhin, including many Alsacian-inspired houses, and plenty of real buildings from Strasbourg have been recreated: the Palais du Rhin, the research Hospital, the Cathedral, and many more! I would love to list all the lovely creations but I think you should discover them for yourselves! We can’t wait to see the rest of the showcase of this wonderful world collaboration, it never ceases to impress me when everyone comes together to showcase their creativity 🤩 Congrats to all the creators listed! 👏🙇♀️
And that concludes another week of Highlights... enjoy the weekend folks and see you soon!!
Dag dag!
