On June 2, 2009 a game we know and <3 LOVE <3 was released. That’s right! Sims 3!!! The game and this Community bring countless hours of fun (building and/or playing) as well as friendships that ...
Remember, this is a Sims 3 only gift exchange ~ NO Sims 4 gifts allowed.
The rules have been 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.
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.
M4. Buddy Letters are suggestions and not a checklist of what will be gifted (or received!) during gifting time.
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.
SIMversary Gift: Instead of Buddy’s name, please use Sims 3 Community.
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.
Community Gift: This gift doesn’t need its own thread either.
G5. If you download or add a gift to your favorites list, please ‘Recommend It’.
G6. Everybody loves compliments! Gifts take time & effort so be sure to let Buddies know what caught your eye.
