A quick recap this week's news:
- On Monday, The official Sims Discord announced a Castle Estate shell challenge - download the lot here, design the interior, and share your screenshots in the official Discord channel for a chance to win a kit of your choice!

Let's gaze into this week's highlights!
- The Sims is chock-full of quirky gameplay features, and some are quite unexpected, so @TeeSea is wanting to know - have you ever run across a gameplay feature that you thought was actually a glitch? When NAP's first came out, I noticed my entire neighborhood wearing paper bags on their heads and I was absolutely certain I had run into some strange new bug. It wasn't until my Sim received the weekly voting notification that I realized this was intentional (and very funny looking) and my Sims have kept this NAP active ever since. But tell us about any strange behavior or features that you've come across - were you thrown off by any specific NAPs or hidden moodlets? Be sure to share with us all strange gameplay features you've found!
- Up next, we have burning question that needs to be answered for @NRowe, who is currently playing the Stuck in Their Shadow scenario and needs a bit of advice on which career path to take. The star of this scenario, Nova, has been propositioned by her rival Lewis to abandon her current job as a Tech Guru and instead join him as an astronaut. So should she swap careers despite all the hard work and progress she's made to search for extraterrestrial life? Or should she ignore Lewis and continue climbing the ladder in her tech career? Tell us which path you'd choose for Nova and why! 🚀👩🏽🚀☄️
- And for our Sims 3 players, how about a fun new gameplay challenge? @lizzielilyy has created a new generational challenge inspired by both the classic Super Sim challenge, and Through the Ages challenge. For the Super Sim Legacy challenge, you'll start on an empty lot with only 1800 Simoleons to your name. You'll then play through each pack in chronological order to complete every single career, lifetime wish, skill and skill challenge. You'll only be able to move on to the next pack once the current pack is fully completed, and your Sim is restricted from any gameplay features or build/buy items from packs that have not yet been finished. So if you're a completionist and you're up for a big challenge, be sure to try this one out!
- If you're needing a bit of build inspiration for the newest Castle Estate kit, look no further than this impressive Castle Estate Residence created by the talented @Lixy_170. This sprawling castle is truly fit for a king - surrounded by a large serene moat, this grand estate includes 6 spacious bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and a lush courtyard to overlook your kingdom. With stunning stained glass windows and regal architecture, this magnificent manor is the perfect home for your aristocrat family! 🏰👑
- We'll finish our week off with a rather heinous gameplay challenge and story, entitled Mischief & Mayhem. While there are several different (and highly entertaining) stories included in this thread, this week we're focusing on the misadventures of Clement Frost, written by @SoulGal7. Clement is the aged-down version of our beloved Father Winter, who has been sent back in time and coerced into some rather naughty behavior. So will Clem be able to save Mrs. Winter, or will all his bad behavior be for naught? Will he be able to find out the true intentions of Mr. Racket? Will he ever get Angela's phone number? You'll definitely want to check out this villainous story, and be sure to catch up on all the other mischievous tales here as well! 🎅🏻🥊
And that's all for another fantastic week! As always, stay safe, have a wonderful weekend, and happy Simming 💚
Till next time!
