Newspapers

I too miss the newspapers and the magazines. Hope they bring them back. It's so sad to see the magazines rack and newspaper boxes in game and there is no option to buy one. I would also like to be able to use the blue community mailboxes to send mail.

I would like to see the newspapers back. They're still very much a thing in the world and your right, it was a nice feature.

@crocobaura love the mail idea too, and buying the papers from the boxes!

I really love playing rags to riches. For my sims, early on, a newspaper would be a lot more believable than their cell phone.

It would be cool if we could decide how many times a week newspapers should be delivered.

I wish we could have a toggle to switch from the modern phone to newspapers.

Newspapers, Magazines, Landlines, Love Letters instead of calls "yo, whassup? Date?"

So we get cheesy letters instead of cheesy pick-up lines? Great! :joy: It would be lovely to have landlines back too, especially as they work even when there's no electricity, they would be nice for off the grid gameplay.

Cheesy love letters with spicy gifts delivered right to your sim's door. No problem. ;)

On a more serious note, (although I was being serious) I too would like Newspapers back in game.

It would be very relaxing to see the sim stroll out the door with a nice fresh cup of coffee and pick up the newspaper. Go back inside, sit on their Lazy Boy (we need those too) read all the local news and 'international' news. Do a crossword puzzle. Have a chat with the wife, who's reading her own Fashion magazine; a little nod to the kid who's reading the Voidcritter Express. Everybody Happy.

The landline rings, the wife picks up, has a little chat with the neighbour. My sims finishes reading the paper, unfolds it and lays it under the dog's bowzer bowl, replacing the newspaper from the previous day. My sim will then bring the old newspaper to the big bad recycler which he keeps in the shed at the back. And voila, gets a few bits and pieces out of it so his wife can craft another of her fancy candles.

Oh the good 'ol days... Anytime. Anytime.

Oh c'mmon, pull your mind out of the gutter :joy: Of course Loveletter will be poetic and heartmelting. Btw. does anything rhyme with woohoo? I can't think of anything. :D

Love poem to a mermaid

The sea is blue,
I've been thinking of you,
Let's woohoo.

I'm curious about the mermaid's reaction to this.
Either a Siren's Lullaby, or a Siren's Call.
The latter would be less favorable. You'd be reading about it in The Newspaper the next morning.
