Rules
Remember, this is a Sims 3 only gift exchange ~ NO Sims 4 gifts allowed.
The rules are categorized in the hopes that they’ll be easier to read.
Be sure to check each spoiler tag!
REQUIREMENT to join: Be able to upload to your studio.
If you haven’t uploaded anything within the last 3 months, now is a good time to check and ensure that you can. Create a simple sim and/or build a basic house then upload for testing purposes.
Hello, Buddy!
Make Gifts!
Gifting Time!
G1. You must gift and be gifted.
G2. When a gift is being given, post a message in the thread.
This message must include:
Your Buddy’s name
Gift number (very helpful to Buddy & host!)
Link to the studio upload
Screenshots showing off the gift.
G3. In the gift message, it’s best to put more than 5 screenshots inside a spoiler tag to prevent page jumping as pictures load and help with page loading times.
The way it works looks like this:
pictures and accompanying text go here
Remember to remove the spaces before and after each bracket!
G4. To keep things cozy, gifts will be given in this thread. Please do not make a separate gifting thread for your Buddy.
G5. Gifting lots of gifts might be nice, but it can be overwhelming to both Buddy and the person doing the custard-checking. Spread out your gifting fun because a few makes an impact, but a pile causes chaos & confusion for all concerned!!
Example: House ~ Sim ~ Sim w/House (good!)
House ~ Spa ~ Park (not good!)
G6. If you download or add a gift to your favorites list, please ‘Recommend It’.
G7. Everybody loves compliments!
Gifts take time & effort so be sure to let Buddies know what caught your eye.

Hello, Buddy!
Spoiler
If you signed up for a previous gift exchange and didn’t give a homemade gift, you will not be paired up in this exchange. Sorry, no exceptions!
B1. Join by posting a letter (see post 4 for the form letter that must be used!).
B2. If you get a new store item or pack, please edit your Buddy letter AND post in the thread that changes were made.
B3. Keep your Buddy Name a secret once you receive your name via private message.
B4. Remember to check in on the check-in dates! Checking in early is fine.
B5. Regularly check this forum thread.
B6. Asking a question if fine. Copping an attitude is not.
Rude or mean behavior will not be tolerated. If seen, I will remove you at my discretion.
B7. Thanking your Buddy in the thread, great! Getting to know them after the event, fantastic – we’re here to make new friends!. Contacting them via pm to criticize or complain about any aspect of the event is NEVER okay. And yes, this happened during the last gift exchange. This saddens and angers me. If there is an issue with your Buddy, contact ME not them.
B8.. If something comes up (ex: personal, computer problems, etc.), please let me know ASAP via PM so arrangements can be made for your Buddy.

M1. NO custom content is allowed. All gifts will be custard checked, no exceptions.
Please refer to the FAQs post on how to start a clean, no CC game.
M2. You must make at least one homemade gift for your Buddy.
This is not something that is bought from the Sims 3 store.
M3. Gift Guideline:
*If making one gift, BUILD something for your Buddy.
*If making more than one (not required!), one gift must be a build, but the rest can be additional builds and/or sims and/or pets.
*If making more than one gift (again, not required!), please look at rule G5.
M4. Buddy Letters are suggestions and not a checklist of what will be gifted (or received!) during gifting time.
