Well we’ve got an exciting new update as Aurora and Tre recently welcomed the newest member of the family, Kya! Since we last heard from them, the couple has settled into parenthood, found success in their farm store (despite a few rowdy customers) and expanded the family even more with a new litter of puppies. Life is good out in the country, so be sure to settle in for this heart-warming story. 🐕🐾 If you’re needing a build that’s a little less seasonal, sirhc59 has got one for you with this Family Base Game Home.

Friday Highlights - November 28th
Sul sul everyone! I hope you’ve had a great week, especially if you are celebrating Thanksgiving since you got a shorter week than us, you lucky ducks! Do you have any exciting plans for the weekend? It might be time to start the Christmas shopping already... Let’s do a quick recap first: 🎲 Would you like to try out The Sims Board Game? You're in luck because on Monday, a Sims Board Game giveaway started on Discord with a chance to win one of 10 games! ❓Then on Tuesday, we got a awesome Q&A with the Sims Team on Discord. 📨 And the latest Laundry List also got released on Tuesday, you can check it out here. Going to the other side... posted here by sillyangel0906 And we can move on to the highlights! 🐺 We have a lot of screenshot threads in this community, but apparently we are still missing some! SanniSilli realised that we didn’t have a space yet for our werewolves, so they decided to start the Werewolves screenshot thread so we can finally see your beautiful furry sims! So far, we were introduced to Ikarios Goth, living in a mansion with horses and rabbits (the absolute dream), as well as a cute werewolf family on holiday in Selvadorada. Make sure to share with us your best screenshots of your favourite werewolves now that they are getting their dedicated space! ✨ A few days ago, Simmerville asked for suggestions regarding celebrity fan clubs, and most specifically about what to do with a fan club when a celebrity (in this case Olivia Clump) has passed or will be passing away. It’s very nice to see all the interesting suggestions! crocobaura suggests that Olivia’s house could be turned into a café where her fans could meet to reminisce about her and listen to her songs. Ellupelluellu added that portraits of her could be hanged in the place where the fan club regularly meets. Great advice to make sure that the fan club carries on,t that the fans keep meeting on a regular basis and maintain their bond 🤗 📹 We have a brand new chapter for The Fields Family Saga by Tcee11 , and we are entering a new beginning: Let’s Do the Time Warp Again. In the latest episode, the Fields Family was reunited and living in Barnacle Bay. For this new story, we know that Emit will have to cause one more Time Warp to set things straight, so we are meeting a new Lilly Fields, a famous alien whose lifetime dream is to become a superstar athlete. In this video story, we follow Lilly for a full week as she goes to work, works out, participates in a hotdog eating contest, or maintains her good reputation as a celebrity. This is a perfect introduction to this new rendition of Lilly Fields, and a very well made story video! 🏗️ I’ll also include a small little thing for our Sims 3 players in here: TheUltimateSim34 is attempting to rebuild an old house from The Sims 3: Pets from PlayStation 3, but building from memory has its limitations. So if you own a copy of The Sims 3: Pets for PS3, you may be able to help out a fellow simmer by sharing a few pictures of the house 🙏 🌳 Finally, Cevans1962 has shared a beautiful restaurant build located on Riverside Retreat in Granite Falls, Treesong. Entirely made with logs, it looks like a wood cabin and fits in perfectly with the landscape. It includes a dining room, a bar and lounge area, outdoor seatings and all other amenities, and is nicely furnished and decorated with a mix of rustic and modern items. It looks perfect for a date night, a family gathering, or for a brunch with friends. It would also be a good place to relax, have a nice meal and a refreshing walk in the forest after. Make sure to check out all the beautiful pictures, and you can also pick up this build on the Gallery if you’d like! 🦃 We got one last thing for you: since a lot of people are celebrating Thanksgiving this week, we wanted to use this occasion and invite you to share what you are thankful for! Even though it’s a bit cheesy, I am always thankful for all my family, my friends and my dog, and for all the nice food we get to share 😋. I am also thankful for the opportunity to be writing the Friday Highlights and for connecting with the awesome Sims community 😙 Not everyone can say that they write paragraphs about werewolves or sims-fan clubs as part of their daily job, so that’s pretty neat, and your comments are always so lovely and appreciated 💓 And that’s it for this week folks! Have a wonderful weekend, eat all the nice food, and see you next time - in December already 😨 Dag dag! CathFriday Highlights - November 21st
Sul Sul my lovelies! We’ve finally made it to another Friday, and it’s almost time to start winding down for the holidays. For those of you celebrating Thanksgiving next week, have you already got your meal planned out? Are you more of a turkey or ham kind of person? And more importantly, how do you feel about the season’s most divisive dish - green bean casserole? (It’s my personal favorite 🙃) Before we dive in, let’s catch up on the news from this week: On Tuesday, the MySims Cozy Bundle finally launched for both Xbox and PlayStation. If you’re looking for a relaxing way to spend your weekend, be sure to pick it up here! Working on Finnegan’s school project together, posted here, by Sindocat Time to get started on this week’s highlights! To celebrate this week’s console launch, simgirl1010 is hosting a new MySims Cozy Bundle Giveaway! This giveaway is for both Xbox and PlayStation so if you want to enter, just share which console you play on and what region you’re using if you’re on PlayStation. This giveaway is open until Tuesday, so be sure to enter and best of luck to everyone! 🎮🎮🎮 We all love to get lost in a good gameplay story, and Lesamith is in the process of writing up a brand new legacy narrative, but is looking for a bit of your input first. They’re specifically wondering what kind of stories you love to read - do you prefer short and sweet, with screenshots telling most of the story, or would you rather read longer and more detailed chapters? And would you rather see in-game screenshots of the action, or do you like more realistic looking AI renders of Sims? Be sure to share all of your story reading preferences with us to help make this upcoming story as exciting as possible! 📒📚 For this week’s build, we’re highlighting this breathtaking rustic style Alpine Ranch, created by Le_Slacker. This spacious 64x64 ranch includes a beautiful country home with 2 bedroom suites, a game room, an indoor spa and sauna, and a covered wrap-around porch leading to a gazebo and large pool area. This estate also has several impressive outdoor features including a large horse barn and training yard, a small corner garden and even a fenced in duck pond. This lovely ranch is the perfect place to play out all your country living dreams, so be sure to take a look! 🏇🏽🏇🏽🏇🏽 Up next, we have a gameplay story written by gidget1234 for the forum’s newest eligible bachelor, Theodore Ito Scott, as he begins a Romantic Elimination Competition in search of his soulmate. This week, 8 fantastic women join him in Del Sol Valley and begin competing for his love and attention under the watchful eye of Theodore’s dear Aunt Nanami (and let’s be real, she’s the real star of this show). So which girl will be crowned the winner? What kind of hot gossip will Aunt Nanami uncover with her listening device? And will dinner ever be served on time? Make sure you tune in to find out! 💖💏 Let’s wrap our week up with a new version of an old classic thread - Sims 4 Random Thoughts, created by Ellupelluellu. This is the go-to spot for all your random, unorganized and spontaneous Sims related shower thoughts, from pointing out strange in-game notifications to sharing your Sim’s super embarrassing holiday sweater outfit 🫣 So feel free to drop in and spill all your chaotic and scattered thoughts with us - the more unhinged the better! And with that - I hope you have a wonderful weekend, stay safe and happy Simming 💚 Till next time! -EA_SolaireFriday Highlights - November 14th
Sul sul! Happy Friday! I hope you had a wonderful week! Do you have any plans for the weekend? We are starting to see the Christmas buzz coming and our town's Christmas Market has already opened! 🎅 See what you missed this week: 🎮 On Monday, we announced the launch of MySims Cozy Bundle for console, on November 18th. 🌻Modern Retreat & Garden to Table kit launched on Thursday! If you are grabbing one of those kits, make sure to share your share your pictures in the official screenshot thread! Is that who I think it is? posted here by gidget1234 And now let’s check out the highlights! It's starting to feel a little bit Christmas-y in gidget1234 's household as the family celebrates Winterfest Day. Everyone gathered to decorate the tree, and went on to snowy adventures where they built snowmen and made snow angels. Bernadette was very impressed by the snow as it was the first time she was seeing it, and another surprise also came! After that, we got a very nice series of pictures of Riley at her holiday camp, just before she comes back home to celebrate her birthday. It seems that everyone has been keeping busy and having a great time! 💪 If you feel brave enough to take on a difficult challenge, SLudick104 got you covered with the Insane Challenge, and more specifically an Insanely Sims Challenge with Occult Infants. The goal is to start with a teen sim and have them find four or more occult infants that they will need to take care of. The challenge fails if one of the infants or younger sim is taken away or passes away. It will be a success if all occults reach Level 5 in a full-time career, gets married and moves out of the house - after “inheriting” 50,000 simoleons from the carer to start their new chapter in life. If you think this challenge may be for you, feel free to check out all the rules and make sure to update us on your journey! 🎄 Sims 3 lovers, soocoolsim is starting a new Tiny Builds challenge for the holiday season, the Tiny Builds Christmas Village Challenge. Similar to the Halloween challenge, this is a collaborative event that will bring players together by creating the cutest Santa Village. With all the wonderful builds that we have seen during the spooky season, I can’t wait to see what everybody comes up with, and most importantly to see the final result. If you’d like to get featured in the showcase video, make sure to submit your build before December 19th! 🌅 Next up, Sami0623 got new chapters for the Lianna Luz: 100 Baby challenge. We previously had an introduction to Dante and Kyera, who are spellcasters, and Kalani, a mermaid. During a vacation in Sulani, Dante has met Kalani and the two of them seem to be sharing good chemistry. After a perfect date together, both Kalani and Dante revealed their secrets to each other: they are not mere simple sims! The two of them were afraid to share their true forms, but realising that they were both occults, they found this pretty endearing. Back in Forgotten Hollow, Kyera seems to be taking an interest in Dante, but he is only thinking of Kalani - who seems to be getting morning sickness all of a sudden... 😶 🏡 Finally, the build of the week is brought to you by Aaleyn with Victorian Manor Eda, located in San Sequoia. This elegant manor contains two bedrooms, plenty of spaces by the windows for eating or relaxing, and there is a spacious office study on the top floor. The best feature in my opinion is the large pond at the back of the house, it’s absolutely stunning! There is a dining area where you can have dinner while looking at the swans, ducks and fountains, which seems like the ideal way to unwind. Make sure to check out all the details of this build! That is all for this week folks! I hope you have a lovely relaxing weekend, and we'll see you very soon! Dag dag, CathFriday Highlights - November 7th
Sul Sul my lovelies! Happy Friday, and happy November! I hope you all had an absolutely frightful Halloween with all your favorite candy 🍬🍫 What did you dress up as?

And on Thursday, the MySims Cozy Bundle launched for Apple Arcade! Be sure to cozy up with this retro re-release by grabbing it here. Bunnies & Bears, posted here, by Daephene1 A week without highlights would be un-bear-able, so let’s get to it! We’ll kick our week off with yet another wonderful giveaway hosted by simgirl1010 for the two upcoming Creator Kits - Modern Retreat & Garden to Table. There are two codes for each kit up for grabs, and you’ll have until the 11th to enter. These Kits will be available starting November 13th, so be sure to get your entries in for this giveaway, and best of luck to everyone! 🤞🤞🤞 Up next, we have a western themed compound, Fort Hothead Rock, created by Bonxie_MCCC. This rustic estate includes a spacious country style kitchen, sleeping space for up to 8 Sims, a large inner courtyard with a working windmill, and of course, plenty of stable space for all your horses. This versatile fort can be used as a home base for your new ranch, a western style retreat, or even a survival Getaway challenge! So if you’re looking to embrace your inner cowpoke, this fort is the perfect place for you! 🤠🌵 Let’s wind down the spooky season with a horror story collab by GamingSimmer20 called The Song of St. Dymphna. This mysterious story follows Simone Carter as she tries to uncover the secrets of her beloved grandmother’s death. But as she explores the asylum where her grandmother lived, she finds more than she ever expected - ghostly nurses, a lingering melody, and a haunting past that she can’t escape. So will she be able to uncover the truth about her grandmother and escape the same fate? Be sure to check out this ghoulish gameplay story to find out! 🏚️😱👻 A couple weeks ago, we highlighted a Halloween Tiny Builds Challenge, and this week soocoolsim has given us quite a treat with a video showcase of all the entries! From a magical farmer’s market, a creepy cave, to terrifying townhouses, these tiny builds are all equally unique and impressive. So if you’re not ready just yet to give up on the spooky season, you’ll definitely want to check out these spook-tacular builds! 🦇🌆🪄 And to finish our week off, iamawesomest123 is currently looking for a new Celebrity themed save file to dive into. Think luxury, modern, big city vibes with a music producer baddy and her successful influencer roommate. So if you’ve got any recommendations for a save file that fits the bill, or you want to share your own, be sure to tell us about it! 🎤🎹⭐ And that’s a wrap for another exciting week! As always- I hope you have a wonderful weekend, stay safe and happy Simming 💚 Till next time! -EA_Solaire P.S. It’s beginning to look a lot like Simsmas….. ❄️⛄Friday Highlights - October 31st
⛈️ Sounds of lightning and thunder in the background... 🌩️ 🎵 THIS IS HALLOWEEN, THIS IS HALLOWEEN 🎶 Are you ready to get this song stuck in your head for the rest of the day? BECAUSE I AM! Do you have fang-tastic plans for tonight? If you are dressing up, let us know what you picked! It’s been raining a lot here, so I’ll stay cosy and will be watching horror movies and Halloween cartoons, and of course snacking on some spooky treats. 👻🎃 Let’s catch up on spooktacular news: On Monday, the latest edition of the Laundry List went out, and it lays out the upcoming community fixes that will be released on November 4th. And on Thursday, a Laundry List promo video also got released! The perfect companion for the Grim Reaper… posted here by Busufu And now let’s jump to the highlights, if you dare.. 🌌 A light flickering… a rustling in a bush… a shadow passing too quickly… the wind that sounds like a lamentation… or is it the wind…? Can you picture the scene? If you can’t, wrenstales2212 has created the perfect spot to spend your Halloween night. So come join us at All’s Hallows Eve Park if you’re brave enough! Whether you’re a vampire, a werewolf, a spell binder, or a completely regular sim, there will be plenty of things to do to celebrate the most ghoulish night of the year: compete in a chess tournament, search for the hidden creature in the swamp, search for treasures… and it includes public bathrooms. Could it be any better? 📖 We have a new chapter of The Whittaker Saga brought to us by JesLet40 , 1970s: Two Birthdays and a Funeral. In this new rendition, Cindy celebrates her birthday and turns into a teenager. Steven on his end goes to prom reluctantly, but ends up having a lot of fun there, while Beth is also enjoying the college party - and seems to be enjoying the college life in general. Susan is struggling with her love life, but tries to put her issues aside to celebrate Steven’s birthday. Finally, a death notice comes in unexpectedly, giving Anna the push to change something about her life... 🐍 For The Sims 3 lovers, Cuniculosa has been sharing tiny Halloween builds that are so cute it’s spooky! My favourite one is the most recent, Hesper’s Herps and Sundry: it’s a pet shop that specializes in reptiles as well as common pets. The outside is very inviting for Halloween lovers, with a big balcony, warm lightning and big windows so you can have a little peek inside. Built on two floors, the ground floor includes several reptile tanks and a cash register. At the top floor, sims can enjoy a nice horror book by a warm cosy fire, and they can step outside on the balcony for a bit of fresh air. There are orange and black colours, pumpkins and black cats for the perfect classic Halloween feel. It’s not just a pet shop, it’s an experience! 👻 🗺️ Next up, elliebreton is asking you all how do you decide where to live. There are many worlds in the game now and while it’s great to have plenty of choices, sometimes too many options makes it hard to pick one! Some players have their go-to world, or will try to match the world with their sim personality and pick where their sims would want to be living, and others even have a system based on the date they plan to pick the neighborhood and the house or lot! It’s hard to sum up all the replies, so I encourage you to have a look in the thread directly! I’m a creature of habits myself, so I tend to pick the same worlds: Brindleton Bay, Sulani, Henford on Bagley. I like to visit the other neighborhoods but I never stay there, so it must be time to step out of my comfort zone! 🍂 Alright, we got a spooky park, and a spooky petshop, but what about us introverts who like to spend most of their fall time at home? Thankfully, cozysimslifeyt got us sorted with a bootiful Halloween Family Home. It includes two bedrooms, an office, a kitchen and living room: ideal for a couple and their child! I absolutely love the front porch with all the pumpkins, perfect to invite trick-or-treaters. The house is of course decorated with all the Halloween and spooky decorations. I would love it if those were available in real life, especially that skeleton rug! What would be your favourite? Alright peeps, time to go trick or treating, or dressing up, or staying indoors… whatever you do, make sure to share your spooktacular plans with us. Until next time! 🦇 Dag dag!

Since basketball season has officially started, I’ll be watching lots of games while I carve pumpkins and bake some seasonal treats 😊 Did you catch the updates from this week? On Tuesday, we celebrated 15 years of It Gets Better with a festive live Twitch event! If you missed it, you can watch it here. Greg and Bigfoot share a farewell hug, posted here, by coloncocon Ready for our highlights? Halloween is only 7 days away, which means it’s time for one of the best (and messiest) seasonal traditions- pumpkin carving! If you still need to pick a pumpkin, no worries, shandy_lou97 has plenty available to grab in this very cute small business - Pumpkin Patch! This haunted lot includes a small 2 bedroom cabin ready to be furnished, a large pumpkin patch, carving stations, and several seasonal photo ops. So whether you’re wanting to run your very own business selling pumpkins, or just wanting to grab some spooky selfies, be sure to visit this lot! 🎃😱👻 This week, we got an update on one of the forum’s most famous families in this new chapter of Cantrell: the Middle Years, created by GalacticGal. In this chapter, Erik looks to reinvent himself with a new haircut and fresh studio album - but some things never change as this week the twins continue their reign of chaos with constant bickering. But despite the week’s rocky start, Erik and Kayleigh head to the Starlight Accolades in hopes of another big win for the new album. Be sure to check out the newest chapter in this family saga to see what happens next! 🏆🏆🏆 We have some more spooky fun with this world rebuild project by Skittle402, Monster High World. Based in Coppderale, this custom world includes a number of renovated lots like a nightclub on a graveyard, a haunted coffee shop, and of course, the infamous high school. Be sure to check out this very detailed world, and share any custom worlds you’ve been working on as well! 🏫🧟♀️ We’ll finish our week off with a whimsical rags to riches gameplay story - A Fairy's Journey to Pop Stardom, written by Maeluun. This story follows Lily Gilmore, a young fairy with big dreams as she aspires to become a famous musician. This week, she leaves her quiet life in Innisgreen behind and moves to Del Sol Valley with nothing but the clothes on her back. With empty pockets and stars in her eyes, Lily is determined to make her dreams come true. So will she make it big and become a global superstar, or will the road to fame be too much for her? Make sure you check out this magical gameplay story to find out! ⭐🧚 And that's a wrap for this week! As always- I hope you have a wonderful weekend, stay safe and happy Simming 💚 Till next time! -EA_SolaireFriday Highlights - October 17th
Sul sul folks! October is already halfway through! It has been getting chillier here, I have put on the stove pretty much everyday lately (to my dog’s delight). How about you, have you been cozying up with all your Halloween blankets or are you still enjoying the last (or early, depending where you live) rays of sunshine? 🦇 Let’s check this week's news first: 🎮 This weekend, make sure to check out all the live streams from TwitchCon San Diego on The Sims Channel! Something strange is going on here… posted here by Zasz_Zerg Now let’s jump into the Highlights! ⛺ First up, RelaxedRealmgame is asking all of you what type of camps you have built with Adventure Awaits, so feel free to share a bit of inspiration with us! Have you opted for the kids summer camp, which seems to be a popular choice? Did you embrace drama by creating a Love Island type of contest? I was in the process of setting up a resort for cat lovers, but since we’re in the middle of Spooky Season, I paused my plans to start a Haunted Mansion resort for all amateurs of strange and paranormal activities. 🏚️ I know that the community is super creative, so make sure to share all your builds or ideas in the thread! 🍼 This week, Sami0623 is going back to the Lianna Luz: 100 Baby Challenge, set in Sulani. But before we get to know Lianna, we have to meet the background and important characters that will play a part in the story. Lianna is the daughter of Dante, a spellcaster and Kalani, a mermaid. Dante was supposed to marry a strong spellcaster from the same elite society they belong to, but he had other plans for himself (and in the end, it seems that he married a mermaid!). We then learn about Kyera’s story, a very strong spellcaster who lacks control over her powers, and wants to find her suitable match. This setting sounds very promising for the story, so let’s keep an eye on this challenge so we don’t miss the next chapters! 👀 👠 Wicked: For Good is less than two months away, so this is the perfect timing to share this fairy recreation of Land of Oz by KarilynMonroe2 . It features the iconic yellow brick road and some of the houses from Munchkin Lands, as well as the Emerald City (if you’d like to spend one short day there), or also the castle of the Wicked Witch of the West. More builds and lots will be added so make sure to head over the rainbow and check out the thread regularly. I can’t wait to see the final result, I just know that it will be so pretty, it might just be... defying gravity 🎶 🏢 This week, PriestessBizarre is sharing a beautiful building with three separate apartments, FourFloor Deco Apartments. It includes a common area on the ground floor with a bar and loungeroom, as well as a swimming pool. The rest of the floors are made for different types of flats, depending on the households that you pick: there is a single-person apartment, another one is made for a couple and the last one is made for two separate sims. Everything looks very modern and clean, and each floor has its own decoration and personality. I love the curved balconies and the style, they give the building a very chic look! Make sure to check out all the neat details and pictures and to download the build on the Gallery if you’re interested! 📸 Thanks to pippagreenhill , we are getting a fresh Selfie thread! We all want to see your sims’ best pictures, please share them! So far, Juliet and Terra have been celebrating Halloween showing off their cool tattoos, while Karmine and Celestrix took the time to take a picture during their beautiful alien wedding celebration, and Polly snatched a selfie in her kitchen to immortalise the moment of her trying to become a chef. If you have taken nice or funny selfies recently, this thread is the perfect place to show them off! And that's another week done folks! I'll be heading off to do a bit of pumpkin carving this weekend, both in real life and in The Sims 4. See you soon! Dag dag! 🎃 CathFriday Highlights - August 1st

This story follows Addy, an avid collector who dreams of opening her own museum to showcase her extensive collections. This week, Addy is looking to finally complete her frog collection by hunting down the ever elusive death frog. While searching around Ravenwood, she makes some new discoveries and meets some very mysterious folks that lead her on a new quest… So what all will she uncover in this spooky world, and what new collectables will she encounter? Will she ever find out what that strange raccoon in a trench coat wants? Make sure you tune in to find out! 🐸💎 And to finish us off this week, we have one of those most unique gameplay challenges I’ve ever come across, Snob Sim trapped in a mansion (but without a toilet), created by penguinNMPR. This challenge is exactly what it sounds like - you’ll be locking a Sim in a house worth at least $100,000 with no toilets on the lot. You’ll start with no money, and your end goal is to earn enough to purchase the most expensive toilet in the game. But there’s a catch! Your Sim isn’t allowed a full-time job, and can’t leave the lot. You’ll also need to be sure all bills are fully paid, and all existing furniture is in pristine and working condition. If anything catches on fire or breaks, you’ll have to replace that exact item before you can finally purchase your coveted toilet. So if you’re looking for some new slightly unhinged challenges to try, be sure to check this one out, but maybe hire a maid to help clean up first... 🚽💸 And that’s going to wrap us up for the last week of July! I hope you all have a wonderful weekend, stay safe, and happy Simming 💚 Till next time! -EA_SolaireFriday Highlights - October 10th
