Sims 4 SIMtastic Gift Exchange 2018- Let the gifting Begin!



Hello! and welcome to the Sims 4 gift exchange, if your returning welcome back.

For those of you who are new this is an event that I use to participate in during my sims 3 days and I decided to bring it to the sims 4. It's Basically a secret Santa, I’ll give you a name (only you and I should know it) and you shouldn’t tell anyone else your name.

This is for Sims 4 only and is CC free (well should be since CC doesn’t transfer in sims 4)

We will use the pm system to communicate when it concerns questions about your buddy gifts. However, you can post some sneak peeks if you’d like or if you’re having a major issue that you need help finding a solution to you can ask for help on the main thread.

Rules:
1. Please don’t sign up if you can’t follow through
2. You can make as many gifts as you want
3. When gifting starts please make a separate thread if you have a lot of photos and post in main thread to let host know when you add a gift (makes it easier to organize the gift section).
4. Everyone should get a gift so please let me know ASAP if anything comes up that may keep you from working on this so arrangements can be made so we can make sure your buddy gets something.
Ex of this would be…you sign up and halfway through a major life event happens (you don’t have to give details just say something important in IRL came up) totally unexpected. So I’ll thank you for the heads up and figure something out so your buddy gets something. (If you have something started but not finished we could also work with that)
5. Have Fun!

    Hiya @cmbaker16!!! Count me IN!!!

    I think I’m getting to that point where playing the few challenges I do are getting boring again. I will be back later to post my letter. B)


    I know that feeling the few i play are getting boring for me too but only because my sims are getting too rich lol need to add somethings for money deductions i think. good to see you, hopefully the sims 4 gift exchange will be just as much fun for you as the sims 3 one is :)

    HELLO AGAIN!!!!

    I shall get the ball rolling by entering MY letter …


    Username/Gallery Name: MsPrissySim

    I have the following Packs: EVERYTHING

    I prefer to play in these Neighborhoods: Depends on WHICH challenge I am playing at the moment

    Some of my favorite colors are: Since we are (very) limited in the Sims 4, there really isn't much of a choice. However ... these are what I prefer -- the PASTEL colors. ((you'll find pastel colors in the wall coverings)) Otherwise, anything neutral.

    I dislike these colors: Anything DARK. Unless you're using a dark color like say, for the outside of the house

    I love to use this particular item/object (this is where you could mention any skill items you love to use or ones you’ve not gotten around to use because you’ve no where to put them): I love using the counter (and island) that go WITH the Jungle Adventure pack. Although they didn't come WITH the pack, we got it in a patch. (if that makes sense))

    I enjoy this style of build most: Victorian, Craftsman, Traditional .... I would be interested in seeing how you would make a modern-style home as well.

    I prefer playing on this size lot (this is where you can mention if you like homes on this size lot but like commercial lots on this size): With having the empty world of Newcrest, there are different size lots to choose from! You could also try your hand on one of the SMALLER lots in Oasis Springs (the desert) or Willow Creek. Those worlds have 20 by 15 lots that you could play around with.

    I do/don’t want Berry sims (granted sims 4 only has Green, blue, and red but this is where you can mention if you want a sim with red skin or not): NO. I do not like these kinds of sims.

    I would/wouldn’t like Aliens or Vampires: NO to these as well. I never did play them.

    Would you like your sims to have a few skill points? If so, which skills? NO

    Do you like playing with families? Or prefer to play with a single sim or couple and grow the family yourself? NO SIMS PLEASE. I have a fair few already in my gallery.

    Other (Here describe anything you’d really like that wasn’t covered above): Although I already have a fair amount of houses in my own gallery, (some of those were built for some of the challenges I play), I would love to see what YOU come up with!! And rest assure … your house(s) WILL BE plopped down and played in!!

    **see... i want to try and make over EVERY world. will i succeed? i have no idea.
