Friday Highlight March 6th - A week on The Sims forums

One more week of Friday Highlights, sul sul Simmers! :smile:

I have a confession to share this week: the last challenge I started has been in pause mode for too long. My mission this weekend?: getting to generation 3! :) Out of curiosity, how many of you are playing a challenge and how many a story?

Now, answering that is not exactly what you are here for, right? Lets take a look at the discussions in my list this beautiful Friday!:



Dixon Cooper, making friends in his new neighborhood! A screenshot by @Gguy, found stop by here first. May take you a bit to decide, we will wait ;)
Done? Great! You are ready for this discussion about the vote started by @davina1221: 'Women behind The Sims - International Women's Day Q&A'. Oh, and don't forget to leave your questions ;)

This is it from me for now - happy Simming weekend! :wave:

    Thank you for the mention :)

    I often start a challenge, but it usually turns out to be something totally different , as I keep getting new ideas on the way :)

    @EuphorialQueen Ooh! I like #simswithlife experience term! I guess I play a bit of that. I play with aging off and rotationally
    I love to have fully developed sims with lots of friends and family. With a little bit of rags to riches element thrown in:)

    ^^ More challenge driven playing than I thought, thanks for answering! I was expecting something closer to a 50/50, but if I counted right:

    • 2 of you are playing driven by stories
    • 8 playing challenges
    • 2 mix

    I can never seem to pass Gen2 :'( It's not that I get bored, it's just that I skip stories. (Still working on it though).

    This is me - I get new ideas and start a new save telling myself I'll get back to my current challenge at some point. And that never happens :sweat_smile:

    I didn't get to generation 3 this weekend in the end, but made good progress so I'm happy! I'll get there :)

    Count me in on a mix also! I've been playing a story/challenge with this sim, telling her story with the Kleptomaniac challenge

    Here is my Kleptomaniac sim Phoenix Rising! :)

    Being a Kleptomaniac sim is hard work, don't let anyone tell you otherwise!

    Congrats on getting to Gen3, I can never seem to pass Gen2 :'( It's not that I get bored, it's just that I skip stories. (Still working on it though). The only legacy I actually finished was the asylum challenge. That was fun because I based it on the movie "girl interrupted". Now i'm trying to finish the legacy challenge and I'm at Gen1 :p hopefully I get pass 3.

    I'm playing a legacy, but I didn't strictly follow the starting rules for it (and I use cheats to fill needs occasionally, okay? Don't judge.) and it's mainly story-driven. So... both a story and a legacy, my gen 3 heir has just become a teen. Her younger sister is a vampire and will be living in a crypt until gen 10, BECAUSE I CAN.
    Cough. Okay.

    Although she needs to stay away from my Sims' belongings!
