Friday Highlights - May 29th
Sul Sul everyone! For those of you in the US, I hope you had a lovely long weekend! What did you get up to? I feel like it’s a requirement to host a BBQ or eat at least one hot dog on Memorial Day. I did neither of those, but I did do a lot of relaxing 🙃 Mirror mirror on the wall, who’s got the best highlights of them all? Consulting the mirror, posted here, by sillyangel0906 I’ve recently fallen in love with the forum’s cutest raccoon, Ringtail, so you can imagine my excitement when I saw he now has his own official gameplay story, Ringtails Quest For Moxie's Crown, written by BlueSeaWaves. This mischievous little cutie has been on vacation in Dembele, and while his family is off sight-seeing, Ringtail has other plans- stealing the kingdom’s crown jewels. This story may be short, but it has everything a good crime novel needs- a risky heist, an accomplice, plenty of danger, and a happy ending. So will Ringtail escape with his treasure, or will he be thrown into the dungeons? The final chapter has just been released, so be sure you tune in to find out how it ends! 🦝👑 Up next, we have an old gameplay story that has just recently been getting some new updates- Tusnelda and Trix - The Future Holds It All, written by MonaSolstraale. This story follows Tusnelda and her beloved cat Trix, an inseparable duo eager to start a new life together, and introduces several more lovely characters along the way 👩🦰❤️🐱 A lot has happened since this story last left off, but these days Tusnelda and Martin are pursuing their dreams of starting a family, while Ramsus And Izumi expand theirs. We get to celebrate a long awaited wedding, and explore the many secrets of StrangerVille. So make sure you catch up with this emotional and heartfelt story to find out what all your favorite characters have been up to! We’ve all been enamored with Bridgerton for the past couple weeks, so why not have a little fun with this new Bridgerton themed challenge, The Diamond Challenge, created by JAY-CAMAROGIRL- and GLovely1! For this challenge, you’ll be creating a glamorous and captivating Sim that sparkles with confidence and desire ✨💎 But that’s not all! You’ll also be completing an elegant room build that reflects your Sims personality. Would your Sim rather be seen at the ball, or perhaps a small and intimate tea party? Wherever you think they would shine the most, be sure to share your Sims and your custom designed rooms for this challenge! Creative inspiration can come from many different places, but Brd709 is wondering specifically where your builds come from. For my builds, I get inspiration all over- sometimes from floor plans I find online, sometimes from real houses, or even from shows and movies I watch. But we want to know what inspires you to build, do you recreate real houses that you see, or do you build solely based on your imagination? Do you ever use floor plans, or do you only build based on exterior photos you find? However the inspiration strikes you, be sure to tell us about it! 💭🏗️🚧 And finally, we have a new legacy gameplay story written by Lizzielilyy, called The Ember Legacy. This story begins with founder Winnie Ember, who has just recently moved to Twinbrook to restore and renovate her family’s large estate. But things are not quite what they seem in Twinbrook, and Winnie can’t help but be drawn into the mystery and secrets surrounding her estate. So what kinds of things will she uncover? And what’s with these weird townspeople? Check out this mysteriously eerie story to find out! 🏚️🏚️🏚️ And that’s a wrap on our last week of May! As always- stay safe, have a great weekend, happy June and happy Simming! 💚 Till next time! -EA_Solaire
Friday Highlights - May 22nd
Sul Sul everyone! Long time no see! Coming back to work after a long break is tough, but writing the Highlights is always a pleasure! I have still been reading them as well as all the comments on holiday, and thank you again for all the lovely messages 🤗💞 We have no news this week, so let's jump right into the highlights! The Moon shining over Gibbs Hill, posted here by SilverJanSims 🙈 We know that sims have a widely different version of privacy, and GalacticGal wants to know about all the times your sims have not known boundaries. One of the teen sims has been seeking his father for advice, and couldn’t wait for his dad to finish his business in the bathroom to ask him something. You know, just like any regular father and dad conversation… I haven’t really experienced it with my sims, but I’ve always disliked how neighbours feel entitled to literally everything in your home once you’ve met them. Excuse me sir, you welcoming me to the neighbourhood doesn’t give you a free pass to my fridge 😩 This week’s build is a tiny house from cbarber89 , inspired by a real house, and it looks even better in the game! This house is not so tiny, as it is set on two floors and there even is a balcony on the first floor. It also includes an open kitchen and living room, and a double bedroom and bathroom upstairs. It is perfect for a single sim or a couple that doesn’t mind spending too much time with each other! There are plenty of windows that give a lot of brightness into the house, intensified by the lovely colours and tiles picked as decoration. Finally, there is also a neat little garden where your sim can enjoy a relaxing campfire at night time 🏕️ ⛵ Ahoy matey! ump1vintti is coming back with a new world project for The Sims 3 with Buccaneer Bay. For years, this tropical island has been used by the pirates to make all sorts of deals or hide their treasures. Now, the island is busy with charming locals as it is expanding with new businesses. It already includes an apothecary, with curious and (mostly) safe items salvaged from old shipwrecks, as well as an old library that includes ancient scrolls, books and tales about the old piracy times, a bakery and a lovely nectary. So let's put on our best pirate accent and let's set sail towards Buccaneer Bay and see how this new world grows over time. Yarr! 💃 atreya33 is hosting a grand ball and needs your help! What would be the ideal location for this event, if you had to organise one, especially when you take into account all the… well, the weird behaviours that sim tend to have? A lounge, or a bar with some of the equipment hidden (such as the TV) could definitely work. As many said, the less distractions around, the better! Can you imagine hosting a ball in a park and having someone ruining your first waltz because they couldn’t resist using the fitness equipment or the monkey bars?! 😬 👾 Finally, let's take about cheats: the game wouldn’t be the same without them cheats, and 9BrightHues wants to know what are your must-have Sims 4 cheats? I realize that apart from the good old motherlode and BB.MoveObjects cheats, I don’t use that many and I’m really missing out! The fire.toggle off cheat code would have been really handy to have at some point, in many of my games... 😰 The FreeRealEstate cheat is also popular, because our sims’ lives are too short to be spending them in boring houses! And of course, the cheat that fulfill all of your sim’s needs in one click is a true life saver. Make sure to let us know in the thread what are your go-to Sims 4 cheats! And that concludes another week of Highlights! This weekend we are expecting higher temperatures due to a heat dome, so I hope my fellow Europeans can enjoy some sunshine and relax a little bit! In any case, let me know what are your plans for this weekend 😊 Dag dag! Cath
PvZ3 State of the Lawn - Content Update 1 (CU1)
Hey Zombie Zappers! 🧟⚡ Plants vs. Zombies 3: Evolved sprouted into Early Access a little over a month ago, and today we have a fresh update storming in with new content. And, thanks to your feedback, we have lots of gameplay tweaks creeping toward the lawn later this month. What’s Sprouting in CU1? New Plants Unleashed! ⚡ The hero of our new Plant Pass is Zapture, a dramatic, volatile, and gleefully dangerous Tier 3 plant. As an amphibious plant, Zapture flexes its power on land but excels on water, jolting through multiple opponents with bolts of electricity like a hot fork through butter. It would have been a knife through butter, but all of Dave’s knives are in the dishwasher. Zapture is created by merging Tier 2 Lightning Reed and our other new plant, Tier 2 Prick-erel Weed. Prick-erel Weed is another amphibious plant created by merging Tangle Kelp and Spikeweed. While it deals more damage in water, it’s a powerful groundcover plant that deals more damage to more zombies in a 3x3 space around itself. It’s a great reminder to always wear your cowboy boots when you go swimming. New Zombie Trouble! 📺 Two new undead baddies will be shambling your way in this update - the mischievous Z-Scout Campers, and a new Zombomination, Buzz Box. Z-Scout Campers are mischievous imps who quickly befriended one another, caused mayhem, and now are set to form a conga line of destruction directly aimed at you. They’re perpetually playing a game of Follow the Leader, but are easily distractible, so they are not sure who the leader is at any given time! The survival courses they took happened to not cover what to do in case of chain lightning attack, so, you know what to do. Facing a staggering drop in productivity, Dr. Zomboss confiscated the zombies’ TV and fused it with a Beekeeper Zombie, creating the Buzz Box. Buzz Box is a large, threatening piece of technology that will take its bad attitude out on you with swarms of angry bees. This insectoid intruder stalks the air, hypnotizing its victims with must-flee TV before closing-in for the final cut. Between attacks, Buzz-Box airs original programming from the ZTV Network like "Everybody Loves Brainz" and "Who's the Zomboss?" Its flying mechanical minions, the ZomBees, swarm protectively around their commander, making getting close a painful proposition! New Content 🎉 Adventure 2: Issue 3, with 50 new adventure levels. 20 Lawn Patrol levels featuring the notorious mischief makers, Z-Scout Campers. 5 additional Expedition levels set in the camp biome. Fixes 🛠️ Fix: Umbrella Leaf now properly protects ground plants from overhead attacks. Fix: Screen Door Zombie and Umbrella / Parasol Zombie sound effects no longer play at deafening levels. Fix: Pigeon Feeder Zombie no longer looks stretched in the Almanac. Fix: Updated Sling Pea almanac entry to correctly state that it hits 3 zombies. Fix: Updated Tangle Kelp description Removed: trading for Cosmic Dust Incoming Gameplay Changes - What’s that About?? 👀 Since Early Access, we’ve been devouring feedback like a swarm of hyper-caffeinated zombies, and while our first minor update is live right now with CU1, our upcoming major update Title Update 0.5 (TU0.5) will make its way to the lawn later this month! Here’s what’s mutating behind the scenes: Plant Power Rewired 🌱⚡ You told us Tier 3 should crush Tier 2, and Tier 2 should outclass Tier 1. We agree! Repeaters were tired of being shown up by a couple of Peashooters, and through a healthy montage of fertilizer and water, they (and all the other Tier 2 and Tier 3 plants) amped up their power! When the update lands, your existing plants will be migrated into this new power structure. Adventure Mode Overhaul 🧠 We’ve revisited adventure levels, adjusting their quantity, pacing, and difficulty to create a more strategic, less predictable experience. Your existing progress will be migrated into the revamped system when the update rolls out. Seed Grind Tamed 🌼 We heard that the grind for seeds was brutal. So we’ve restructured how seeds are earned, letting you unlock more plants earlier and spend less time stuck in the weeds. This is the first set of major changes we’re making to the gameplay. We’re also keeping a close eye on the sun economy, tracking how these updates affect the balance once they hit the lawn. In the meantime, dive into CU1 starting today and thanks so much for your feedback, both positive and constructive! For players outside of our current Early Access regions (Ireland and Philippines), we will be bringing new regions online soon and throughout the coming months, so stay tuned for wider availability as we continue through the development process. If you’re playing in Early Access and you encounter any bugs, please let us know on the forums. Stay tuned to our channels for more on upcoming content updates and gameplay updates. See you on the lawn!Friday Highlights - May 1st
Sul Sul my loveliest Simmers! Happy Friday, happy May, and happy The Devil Wears Prada 2 release date! Anyone else got tickets for this weekend? This was one of my favorite movies growing up, and one that I still quote from very often. Not to mention that Meryl Streep is an absolute icon in this film. But I want to hear all of your favorite movie quotes- which are your favorites, and which do you use the most often? But first, just a quick recap on what happened this week: On Tuesday, we released an update to resolve a few issues for console players and the Gallery. You can read up on everything that was fixed in the notes here! Wolfie’s new look, posted here, by Ellupelluellu Ready to check out our shining highlights for the week? We’ll get our week started with a nostalgic question from DrWinslowJr, who wants to know, what was your very first pack for The Sims? The very first pack I ever played was the absolute classic Makin’ Magic for The Sims 🪄🔮🎪 Not only did this pack introduce me to the iconic Bonehilda, but it kicked off my love for the franchise. But what was your first pack, and which game was it for? Did you start with the original Sims, or was your first pack for Sims 4? Be sure to share with us which pack you started with, and why! Now that we’ve discussed what your first pack was for The Sims, let’s chat about our favorites! CrispySims619 wants to know if you had to pick your top 3 favorites for each type of pack, what would you choose? This is a really hard question, but here’s my personal list: Kits: Goth Galore, Blooming Rooms, Storybook Nursery. Stuff Packs: Nifty Knitting (solely for the metal radio station 🤘🤘🤘), Laundry Day, Home Chef Hustle Game Packs: Vampires, Strangerville, Dream Home Decorator. Expansion Packs: City Living, Seasons, Cottage Living. As someone who mostly focuses on building, I love any pack that introduces new unique B/B items! But what are your favorites? Do you pick based on storytelling and gameplay, or are you more interested in CAS or B/B items? Tell us your favorites and why you picked them! Up next, we need some help with baby names! JesLet40 has been working through a pack challenge where each new generation is named to match the pack they’re born into, with Sims being named after locations, weather, or even plants found around the world. While some of these naming themes were pretty easy and obvious for packs like Seasons, other packs are presenting a bit of a challenge. So what kind of naming themes would you pick? Would you stick with City names for City Living like Dallas or Phoenix, or maybe horse themed for Horse Ranch, like Colt or Maverick? Tell us what theme you’d use for each pack, and share all of your favorite names! 👶👶👶 There’s nothing I love more than a modern build, and this trendy Lumineuse Défi 7 Juliette by sirhc59 is exactly my style. This build was originally created for a shell challenge and gives off a perfectly chic mid-century modern vibe. Downstairs, you’ll find a cozy living room, and a spacious kitchen and breakfast nook, decorated with a mixture of cedar tones, warm purples, and scenic floor to ceiling windows. The upstairs loft has been converted into a single bedroom with a dressing corner, full bathroom and wrap-around balcony overlooking a small garden and outdoor dining area. This little townhome would be the perfect spot for a young couple, bachelor pad, or even an artist’s home studio. Be sure to check it out for yourself! Earth Day was just last week, so what better way to celebrate than with a new eco-friendly gameplay challenge created by chocolatequeen06, called the Dumpster Diving Challenge. This challenge has a similar feel to the classic Extreme Rags to Riches challenge, but with a bit of a twist- you’ll start as a young adult with the Freegan trait, move into an empty lot, and cheat yourself to 0 Simoleons. From there, you’ll spend your days dumpster diving in Evergreen Harbor in order to repair and fabricate furnishings for your house. You’ll be able to start building rooms for your home once you’ve acquired all necessary furnishings for that specific room, with the end goal being to fully complete your new home. Ready to live green? Be sure to try this challenge and let us know how you did! 🌍♻️🚯 And before we wrap up for the week- a big congratulations to EA_Cath, who is getting married this week! We hope you have the most amazing and memorable day 💚 Till next time! -EA_SolaireFriday Highlights - May 15th

Get ready for the soirée of the season with Lady Bridgerton’s Masquerade Ballroom & Lady Bridgerton’s Masquerade Ball Fashion! As always, don’t forget to join in on our official screenshot thread for these kits here. A spooktacular celebration, posted here, by NoahLGP Let’s celebrate with this week’s highlights! This week we got some amazing new features with the base game update, but CrispySims619 wants to know, out of all the new updates and features that have been added, what are your all time top 3 favorites?

This is a quick giveaway, with entries closing tonight, so be sure to enter before it’s too late! 🎭🎊 I’ve never heard of a pocket neighborhood before in The Sims, but ManicPot8to has shared this incredible all-in-one lot, Pri Tpa Town. This single lot includes a mixture of residential and community buildings, with 5 modern style homes, a salon, a gym, a bubble tea shop, and even a park and playground. With all this and more, your Sim will never have to leave their home lot again! 🏙️🏠 Don Lothario- the original party boy of The Sims. Love him or hate him, his lore runs deep. Despite how you may feel about him, Bluegayle wants to know, what has Don been up to in your game? In my game, Don has (unsuccessfully) pursued an acting career in an attempt to change his image. He’s finally moved on from the Calientes and hopes to settle down once and for all. So how is he fairing in your game? Is he still up to his old shenanigans, or has he turned a new leaf? Have you turned him into a family man, or is he embracing the party lifestyle? 🕺🕺🕺 Tell us how he’s been doing and what he’s been up to! And finally, for all the Doctor Who fans out there, allypopx has created a new challenge called the TARDIS Adventures Challenge. For this challenge, you’ll become a time lord and build your very own TARDIS to carry you through all 13 generations. If time traveling and alien invasions aren’t enough for you, you can also spin the Side Quest wheel for more exciting adventures! So if you’re looking to add a little sci-fi to your Sims, give this challenge a try! 🧙☎️ And that’s all for this week! As always- stay safe, have a great weekend, and happy Simming! 💚 Till next time! -EA_SolaireFriday Highlights - May 8th
Sul Sul everyone! Welcome back to another Friday as we finish up our first full week of May! Summer is now right around the corner, and it is definitely getting hotter outside.

On Tuesday, our latest Laundry List was released! We’ve got some exciting upcoming fixes and features, so be sure to grab a sneak peek here.

And just when Mirza feels like he’s settled into this peculiar new world, something strange happens… Curious to know more?

But what do you think is happening on this peculiar boat? Maybe a fancy dinner event, or even a dance party? Share your stories and speculations with us! ⛴️🕺🏽🎵 This week also brought us an update on the beloved Cantrell Chronicles with Chapter 19, written by GalacticGal.

Sul Sul everyone! How is everyone doing on this fine day? Here, we are finally getting warmer temperatures, it will be the perfect weather for catching up on my comic books reading in the sun! What are your plans for this weekend? Let me know what you are up to 🤗 Stunning sunset to end the week, posted here by SilverJanSims Let’s see what news we may have missed: There is a new challenge on Discord, the Green Scene Challenge! Make sure to catch all the details and sign up for a chance to win one copy of Enchanted by Nature, Blooming Rooms Kit, and Backyard Stuff. And now let's check out the highlights: 🎲This week, Hotlipsyvie is asking for CAS ideas and specifically how do you flesh out your adult sims? Hotlipsyvie is taking this challenge to the next level by using a dice to come up with their sim’s skills, jobs as well as their amount of simoleons, a great way to keep the game fun and interesting. Some of you don’t like the randomness and prefer to control everything in their sims’ lives, and others like to play with their sims in Live Mode first to decide on career choices. It's very interesting to read all the replies, and again, to see how everyone plays the game in their own way. So make sure to take a look and to reply if you’d like to share the way you create your adult sims! 🏝️ Are your sims craving a vacation on an isolated island? froggy2747 has crafted a beautiful build, originally from a shell challenge, and it might be the perfect spot for your next holiday. This house is built on two floors, with a front terrace, an open balcony, and a stunning sunroom where your plants can relax. It also includes an open kitchen and living room, an ensuite bedroom. From all angles, your sims will be able to appreciate the stunning view over the ocean. Oh, did I mention there are a fountain and artificial pond on the front terrace? Because there are, and you should check out the rest of the house, but be careful: you might want to move there permanently! 🐴 If you have been following karritz’ Perfect Genetics Challenge Generation 3, the latest video episode is now available! It begins in Appaloosa Plains during the Winter season, where the characters set up to build snowmen or try some messy experiments. Later, the household split and Olivia, Don, Cindy and Bill have now moved into a beautiful barn with their horses in Lucky Palms. The video goes over the day-to-day lives of the household, as well as exploring the new world, where we encounter beautiful builds such as a casino, rollercoasters or a bowling alley, and we also get the visit of a unicorn! Plenty of things around to keep the household busy and entertained 🤗 😯 It’s time for another Things I didn’t know about the game thread, started by JesLet40 ! Those discussions are always fun because different people notice different things, and there are plenty of hidden treasures and funny features or interactions in the game. For example, did you know you can get invited to a NPC’s birthday party? (Really? How come they never invite me??) That you can have little frogs in your ponds? That one of your gardener’s work tasks could be to get eaten by a Cow Plant? There are so many clever tips and tricks shared by other players, I strongly encourage you to take a look if you’d like to *reads notes* turn a puddle into a duck-shaped puddle. 🤫 Finally, let’s end those highlights with GalacticGal’s question: what do you do when the game gives you a choice? For context here, Erik wants to spend as much time as possible with Kayleigh before she leaves. They had a couple of romantic dances and were having a great time, and Erik was actually very close to proposing! But instead, something happened: someone had discovered Erik’s big secret (that he had danced as a noble with a commoner). Originally, he was planning on calling a press conference himself for the big reveal and refuse to give into blackmail. But now, he will start university at the same time as Kayleigh and things might get busy, so is it the right time to get a big secret expose? I think that Erik shouldn’t let this big thing hang over his head and expose it himself, but I also understand if he’d like to bury the secret and move on. So, what do you think you would pick in this situation? Alright folks, time to wrap it up! As always, I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, and see you very soon 🤩 Dag dag! CathFriday Highlights - April 17th
Sul Sul friends! Another Friday, another week done! Any exciting plans ahead? I will be dog sitting this weekend, so I hope my dog will agree to share with a roommate for a couple of days 😅 Let's do a quick catchup first: 🎁 On Monday, a giveaway was announced on The Sims’ Twitter page, make sure to take a look for a chance to win an Expansion Pack of your choice! 📑 On Thursday a new base update was made available, and console players can now access the Marketplace! You can catch up on the patch notes here. The girls enjoying their time off together, posted here by JourneymanMC And now let’s jump into the Highlights! 🐮 AaronRulz78 has been creating a sim living with all the animals available in the game, such as horses, cows, chickens, cats and dogs, and is wondering if this idea is too crazy… If you’re asking me, willingly choosing to live solely with animals is a very respectable choice! They are cute, they don’t make drama, what more can you ask for? I think what is actually crazy is not adding even more animals to the household 🤭 I’m glad to see in the replies that a lot of you have picked the same lifestyle choices for your sims, and it’s great to share tips and advice regarding animal care! Do you also like to play with lots of animals? Make sure to showcase your furry families with us! 🏘️ The Petite Alsace Sims 3 World Collaboration is still on-going and the latest addition by Sandraelle is worth checking out, Maison Fleuve. Inspired by a real house located in the French city of Colmar located at the German border, this family home is simply stunning! The front backyard is full of colours thanks to the various flower patches, while a large river flows through the back garden for a perfect serene and quiet atmosphere 🌊 The house includes double and single bedrooms, a nursery, an office, a play room and even a garage: perfect for a large family with children for a vacation or a permanent residence! 🏢 Next, SummerCaliSkye is asking you what skills, aspirations, careers or any other options that you always forget about? I tend to forget about careers, even the most common ones, because my sims always receive a massive amount of money from the Motherlode Gods upon moving into their first lot 😆 When it comes to skills I simply forget about fishing, because I hate fishing in any type of games 😩 It looks like everyone has a different perspective about forgettable skills or careers: baking, charisma, doctor, freelance careers… and I’m sure that half of you would be using those traits or careers all the time! It’s always fun to see how everyone plays the game differently. 🧒 Teens are always a fun addition to a game, and this week simgirl1010 wants you to share all your gameplays and discoveries regarding your favourite adolescents. Between parents and school pressure, maintaining friendships, starting to get their independence, the life of a teen is full of fun and not so fun surprises. Simgirl1010 is introducing Amelia, the daughter of a Global Superstar, which must have a lot of benefits but must also come with a lot of pressure! Whatever Amelia decides to do with her life, I’m sure she will make the choice that makes her happy! Don't hesitate to showcase your teenagers in the thread! 👑 Finally, are you in need of a Royal Residence for your next Noble household? Cevans1962 has you covered with the stunning Giardino Del Grandioso located in Ondarion. Darker colours are the theme of this build, with dark stone walls, black wallpapers and matching furniture for a nice gothic look 🖤 This build can welcome 7 guests as it contains plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms, as well as entertainment amenities such as ball rooms, indoor swimming pools and more, so make sure to check it out! And that concludes another busy week! I hope everyone enjoys an exciting or relaxing weekend, whichever suits your vibes ✨ CathFriday Highlights - April 10th
Sul Sul everyone! Spring has fully arrived, the weather is getting warmer, and my seasonal allergies are officially out of control 🙃 Did you all have a lovely Easter? Did the Flower Bunny bring you lots of treats? I got a 3lb chocolate easter bunny, and I’ve already eaten the entire thing! Playtime in the sandbox, posted here, by kukkahilla. Let’s see what fun things we can dig up with this week’s highlights! This week, we’re starting off strong with one of the most popular gameplay stories on the forums that has just recently been revived, Under The Tartosan Sun, written by DaniRose2143. This lovely story picks up right where the previous chapters left off, with the gang all back together. This week, Danielle and Londyn head to San Myshuno for an exciting TV interview, and meet with an old friend, Mimi. So if you’ve been curious what the sisterhood has been up to recently, be sure to tune in to this revival story and catch up! 🏖️👙 For me, The Sims is the most fun when it’s completely randomized, and now thanks to leonyjianmu, we can get even more random with this new Aspiration Generator! All you need to do is fill in your Sims traits, and you’ll be given an option for 3 different aspirations to play that fit with your selected traits. And if you don’t like any of the 3 suggestions, just roll again 🎲🎲🎲 So test your luck, see what you get, and let us know what you get! Calling all builders! Up next, we have a Build Request from nh2212, who’s looking for some help with a mermaid themed royal castle🧜🏽♀️🏰 While you mostly have free reign on this build, there are just a few requirements- this property should be beach front and include 6 bedrooms, a greenhouse, a throne and ballroom, and most importantly, an underwater cemetery. There are no pack restrictions for this build, and while you do have a shell to work with, you have complete freedom to edit, rework, or delete it entirely. Give this build a go if you’re feeling creative, and share screenshots of what you make! I’ve recently taken up cross stitching as a new hobby, and since I love handmade crafting so much, why not start in The Sims with this new challenge created by Jadeleine, The Handmade Challenge! For this challenge, you’ll be living a fully handmade lifestyle by making your income through selling crafted items, and building yourself a new home. The end goal is to max out 5 different crafting skills, build your dream house, and decorate with all your handmade decor. Ready to get crafting? Give this challenge a try and share your screenshots of your beautifully decorated new home! 🧶🧺 And finally, thatsme_ever is looking for a way to spice up their game with new goals, stories or challenges focused on Occult Gameplay Ideas. Got a favorite werewolf challenge, gameplay story to play out with aliens, or a fun Sims ghost story? Be sure to tell us about any occult specific challenges and stories you love, or any you’ve created yourself! 🐺🧛🏾♀️👻 And that'll wrap us up for another exciting week! As always- stay safe, have a great weekend, and happy Simming! 💚 Till next time! -EA_Solaire
