Friday Highlight August 21 - A week on The Sims forums

Sul sul Simmers, and welcome to your Friday Highlights!

How was your week?
Have you been enjoying nice, summery weather or have you been hiding away from the rain and wind like me, desperately sending your Sims to Sulani to get at least some virtual sunshine ...?

(I have a feeling that this is slowly but surely becoming a running theme. I need to stop obsessing over the weather - and Sulani, for that matter! 🤔)

Oh well. But I guess now you can understand even why this screenshot just stood out for me!



Wouldn't you just love to get away to this place?? I'm having a serious case of wanderlust after seeing @pandykekeke's screenshots here!



Anyway, let's check out today's picks!


  • Are you looking for a new challenge, one that focuses on storytelling? Then @OJenn's "Rebuilding Worlds Vol 2" might be right up your alley! Oh, for those who don't have the newer packs but want to join the fun, check this thread here! :)
  • @Cassieb95 asked what your "Favourite Skill" is and I think that is a really great topic to discuss! I really love when my Sims work on their artistic skills like painting or anything music. (watching them cook/bake all those amazing things always makes me too hungry so I'm usually trying to avoid that! :D )
  • It looks like this week was a week of great polls! So I obviously had to include @CAPTAIN_NXR7's "Do you play as your simself?" and I'm looking forward to reading your answers! :smiley:
  • I really love the challenge of building mini/micro homes so I was delighted when I stumbled across @BUTTONSGINGER's inspirational thread "Mini Micro Builds: Share your Tiny Living Homes with us. Join in any listed Theme or Add your Own"! :heart:
  • And last but definitely not least we have to talk about "What happened in your Sims 3 game today"! In @emorrill's thread you can find wonderful screenshots and great anecdotes - as well as add your own! B)


I hope you're enjoying these picks as much as I do! And, like always, if you have any suggestions that you would like to see featured in the next Friday Highlights, just send them my way!

Have a fabulous weekend and take care! :heart:

  • Congrats to all those with threads mentioned!

    Something I'd like to mention is that "What happened in your Sims 3 game today" is very close to hitting 4000 pages! I think the last time I posted there it was at 3985 pages.
  • @EA_Leeloo Aww, thank you for the highlight on my thread! That was a pleasant surprise. :smiley:

    It's hard for me to call it 'my' thread though, as SO many wonderful and amazing Sims 3 players have turned it into the fun, heartwarming, hilarious, and most visited and posted on Sims 3 thread in that part of the forums. :blush: I've developed lasting friendships over there and never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that my simple start to a thread, 5 years ago, would turn into one of the most popular, pushing 4000 pages! :grin:
    (I think we need to have a thread party over there or something. ;) )

    Anyway, I welcome ALL to visit that thread whether you play Sims 3 or not. It's very entertaining and you'll find so many sweet and wonderful people there. <3

    Thank you again. :)
  • @chele5213 I hope you had a wonderful weekend and a fantastic week! :relaxed:

    @simgirl1010 It was well-deserved! I'm happy that you're happy about this. :heart:

    @Brandontaylor It is very nice of you to comment here - cheers! And yes, that thread is mahoosive! Should you feel that it's getting too big, you can start a new one and let me know about it so I can close the old one. :)

    @pandykekeke Aww, thank you! It feels good to know I'm not the only one! :grin:

    @emorrill That is such a lovely message! :blush: Every single day I'm in awe at how amazing and creative this community is! So this mention was overdue!

    @Cassieb95 You are very welcome! :smiley:
  • Congrats to everyone mentioned and a safe and happy weekend to all of you!!
  • wow, thanks for the mention, @EA_Leeloo! It's warm and sunny where I am, but it's not like I can go anywhere really so I definitely feel you about getting the virtual sunshine!
