Friday Highlight 04/13 - A week on the Sims forums


Sul sul Simmers,

Welcome to the Friday the 13th edition of Friday Highlight - I promise reading it won't be too scary or bring too much bad luck ;)


(Nothing scary...I promise...)


So here it is - Friday Highlight - April 13th 2018
  • @FanPhoria posed an interesting question this week with a discussion called Things you kind of want but know are probably bad ideas that no on else wants .
  • Off topic is like the uncle no one talks about on every forum, but some great stuff goes on there. I specially like the Give a trait to the avatar above you discussion :smiley:
  • In the big bad world we could all use a little bit of positivity! @simgirl1010 's discussion The Sims 4 Happy Play Thread :) aims to provide exactly that <3
  • Last week I highlighted a thread highlighting showcases - this week I would recommend checking out the Build Challenges discussion (both are from the lovely @rosemow ). I know I'll be picking up a few from there :smiley:
  • On The Sims Mobile side, @FreezerBunnyCowplant set up a discussion in May last year (talk about an early bird) to share pics of houses! I am looking forward to seeing more.
  • And last but not least...I am doing something irregular this week! We had a forum update last week and as a result you can now Follow certain categories - find out more about it here.

This weeks ask to you all: I would love to highlight some great stories here - anyone have any recommendations for me?

As always ideas, recommendations and feedback are all welcome!

Happy weekend Simmers!

Mage out.

    What's with the uncle shade at the off topic section? We lit. Grand sequel thread is where it's at!


    Woo! *high-five for my grand sequel comrade*
  • I rarely visit Off Topic, especially now that Rosemow's We Care thread has closed. I liked reading that thread because it made you realize there are actual people with feelings and frailties behind the avatars.

    Maybe if there were more actual discussions of hobbies, food, books, etc. I think there was a needlework thread but that fizzled out. One thing for sure it's easy to get your post count up by playing those games. :p
  • Thanks for pointing out the 'Things you kind of want' thread - that's been a fun read!
  • @EA_Mage -You seem to have forgotten Sims 3 things again and that's what I play when I'm not playing TS2.

    That's my thread. Here it is if you want to revive it! http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/870214/simmers-knitting-crafting-circle#latest I've been lazy and hardly picking up my knitting since fall (at the expense of my wardrobe, sadly).
  • I have hosted a story/modelling competition that combines both a story and a little bit of modelling. It was started just before Christmas so put on hold for a bit over Christmas and the new year. If anyone is interested in having a look. It is being picked up again in June as everyone is keen and wants to continue it. You can find it HERE It is called Mybor's Harvest and it's based loosely on a A D & D module.
  • Thank you all for all the recommendation!

    For those who want to see more The Sims 3 threads in the highlights - let me know the discussions you frequent and will check them out :smile:

    @mintycupcake and @DeKay Agreed, great stuff goes down in Off Topic, so no offense was meant - just a little funny poke :p

    These Sims 3 story threads are pretty awesome in my opinion. :blush:

    Sam Beckett (Quantum Leap) Continuing Story: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/909950/sam-beckett-quantum-leap-sims-3-story/p1
    Misunderstood: A Jared Frio story: http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/discussion/919522/misunderstood-a-jared-frio-story-sims-3/p1

    I have to edit the images in the Sam Beckett Story since postimages decided to change link address names and such...again... :confounded:
    *Please be patient with me* <3
    (But there is a link to my blog where you can read the story with the pictures until I fix them all here on the forum. ;) )

    And Thank You for asking for our recommendations. <3

    Enjoy! :)
