Thank you @Bananas_45 and @hannaaj22 Thanks to everyone in the community for all the love and support and thanks to all the wonderful modders out there who make the game better!
Though I'm not a very vocal member in the community, I'm here every day exploring many areas and over the past couple years quite a few Simmers have helped me without realizing it. I see them helping others too with their experience, tips, creativity, insight and humor. I'd like to send a heartfelt thank you to the following:
First and foremost, @rosemow I don't know how she does it, she's everywhere helping out when she can with grace and kindness.
@phoebebebe13@chesterbigbird & @luthienrising for their tireless efforts in tech & bug reports. @DeKay has been very helpeful here too, but I'd like to thank him mostly for making me laugh and smile in the favorite screenshots thread. He and @Lazarus_B4R always cheer me up with their hilarious posts.
@MizoreYukii for her incredibly informative and thorough modeling threads. Her tutorials are nothing short of amazing and her efforts to keep the modeling community running smoothly are very much appreciated.
@BryonyRae for all the work she does to help improve build and buy mode and the inspiration she's given me from her incredibly creative builds.
@BuildnShare for the feedback given on my contest entries that has helped not only me, but many others to improve our building skills.
@CathyTea for her hard work and enduring kindness to others on the SimLit threads, and for helping me with advice on how to be a better SimLit writer.
@CitizenErased14 for her wonderful stories that have inspired me to write my own and all the help she gives others.
@Carewren123 for the Short Stories contest. I never did get to enter before she passed on the torch, but she helped to inspire myself and so many others.
@cbear13 for the wealth of information provided about Simmers' activities in SimCom, The Simformer and for her build contests.
@sparkfairy1 for her tenacious efforts to keep the hopes and dreams of toddlers alive in The Sims 4.
@crinrict for his (her?) help with bugs in the game and what to do to make our games run better.
@Writin_Reg for her insightful, informative, behind the scenes posts about the gaming industry.
@catloverplayer for his genuine love and enthusiasm for the game. Plus, I love his very vocal, yet gracious attitude on what he would like to see included in the future for the game. I hope one day we do get back the bed animations, a tropical vacation spot and an amusement park!
Though I don't have MC Commander myself, I see @egwarhammer always here with quick advice to help others use this wonderful tool to improve their gameplay. I'm getting a new computer in a few weeks and can't wait to try it out and see firsthand what it's all about.
Lastly, I'm not even sure if he's a member here, but James Turner, The Sim Supply has helped and inspired me in so many areas with his wonderfully fun Let's Plays and amazing build videos. I love this man's authenticity and tongue-in-cheek humor!
These are just a few people I can think of at the moment. I'm sure there are many more that have helped me and others in the community that I haven't mentioned. If you've helped me and I didn't mention your name, just know it was very much appreciated and I'm grateful.
@papersuitcase Thanks for the mention I actually got into trouble with a few people earlier this year as I said that toddlers would probably do nothing for TS4 anyway and it does seem that a lot of people have given up hope and the chance of saying any big improvements seems very slim by now
@rosemow for being so helpful to everyone, and seeming to appear within seconds with helpful advice and suggestions, 24/7.
(seriously rosemow, day or night you're there right away! how do you even do that?!).
rosemow has also helped me to get growfruit into my game after the spring challenge ended (which was a very uplifting experience, as I'd missed the challenge, became very emotionally attatched to growfruit and was actually crying over the situation - I can't help it growfruit are just too cute!). rosemow has also been a great comfort to me when I've been really upset about things; thank you also for leaving such lovely and encouraging messages on my wall!
@DeKay for the truly epic tales of Dylan's adventures/misadventures. I confess that, like many of the elderly ladies in Dekay's game I've become a bit obsessed with Dylan - I visit the favourite screenshot thread just for Dekay's posts. (Sorry everyone else who posts there, but pages full of pics take forever to load!)
@keylimepiesims , for having the happiest, cutest little lime wedge of an avatar I've ever seen! seriously, everytime I see that little lime wedge I just want to cuddle it! it brightens up my day!
Also @Lightfield , who always seems to be doing something cool in the whatcha doin? thread; I always look foward to your posts and great conversation!
@Karababy52 Thank you! What a cool idea this thread is, and how nice to get to take a moment to thank everyone who helped make 2016 on teh Forums fun and enjoyable and useful! I'm ready to pay it forward!
I'll join the chorus in recognizing @rosemow - You've helped so many in so many ways!
Also, a huge shout-out to @mastressalita , our resident librarian and archivist, who maintains the largest, most up-to-date list of SimLit on the Forums, and who manages to notice and mention every milestone, new story, and story completion. @mastressalita you show us that heroes really can be found in the library! Thank you!
@pammiechick Thank you for always noticing and encouraging new writers on the Stories and Legacies thread and for recognizing, celebrating, and encouraging talent! Your new SimsVIP SimLit feature is such a great way to share the joy of SimLit with others!
@Jes2G Thank you for being a mentor to new and developing writers who thrive with your encouragement!
@chealsycat Thank you for your Bears and for your cheerfulness! You've made me smile and warmed my heart more than you'll ever know!
Thanks to my Little Sister @friendsfan367 for coming up with the idea for the Writers' Lounge Thread and for being such a gracious and welcoming host. You're the reason the thread is still going strong!
Thanks to all the members of the Reading Circles I belong to:
@MedleyMisty for creating The Art Commune Reading Circle and for being an authentic and soulful friend.
@DeiraShadeweaver Thank you for creating the Watchers Writing Reading Circle. Your story, along with the stories by @AllieMac , @supernatural103 , @pixelatedKar and @Thymeless , bring me so much joy! Thanks to all of you for the happy hours of reading you've given!

@SimGuruDrake thank you for taking care of our online community and for hanging in there when people get testy! Since it's probably a thankless job much of the time... let's take a moment to thank YOU!
@SimGuruGnome Thank you for making patch notes epically worth looking forward to!
It takes a community... to make a community! If you're part of this community, thank you.

@pammiechick: A huge thank you for recognizing and encouraging new SimLit writers! Your new SimsVIP SimLit feature is an awesome way to recognize the SimLit community and share it with the Simming community!
@SimGuruDrake: A special thank you for taking care of the Simming community and for hanging in there whenever things get tense around here.
Happy New Year to all and I look forward to spending 2017 with you all!
Just wanted to say Thank You to those who mentioned me here.
..And I wanted to say whether you've been playing The Sims for two weeks or *nearly* two decades I appreciate everyone
that comes to this site to share their Experiences, Opinions..And Frustrations in a friendly and respectful manner.
I probably should mention a few names, but I'm not good with those. I've only been part of this community for a few months, but it amazed me how welcoming you guys were to me. I felt included and appreciated from the very beginning, a feeling I missed a lot lately.
I've only been playing the Sims for a few months, but you have taught me so many little details about the games I would probably have never discovered without your help. You have changed my understanding of the game and my approach to it in so many significant ways. You inspired me to write again!
And even if it's "only" some game fanfic or some random blog posts, it's writing, it builds my habit for writing, and I can foresee a future - maybe next year - where I return to my original projects and won't feel so pressured about having to write, because I have already build a habit where I'm sitting down and writing almost every day!
I appreciate everyone, every single simmer here. We are all simmers, whether our opinions may differ or not. Some of us prefer sims 4, some 2 or 3, or all of them. We may disagree but I've repeatedly said that's what makes our community great.
It's is truly wonderful how we come together.
Though I do have to call out @cinebar , she may not remember but she made me feel very welcome back when I joined the forums during sims 3 days and is the first face I started to remember here.
@LosaruTaiyo has also been very kind and I love our Pokemon talks
@Simslover163 and @CathyTea Thanks for the mention! This is an awesome thing to do. I love the Sims community and am thankful for the opportunity to highlight it any way I can. The creativity here is amazing!
Aww this is lovely! Thank you for thinking of me @Simslover163
Echoing all the accolades for @rosemow , she really makes everyone welcome here from the moment they join the forums.
Huge thanks to @CathyTea for the endless support for the simlit corner of the community. You're the soul and spirit of the writing community and your patience, support towards everyone and your ability and will to always look on the brighter side even when it would be easy to be down never ceases to amaze me!
@Julyvee94 Thank you for being on this journey with me from the beginning, I'm so happy we both started out here around the same time - you're the first friend I made on here and I'm so glad to know you.
@raerei3 For being so supportive of my story when it was only in its infancy - you may not know but it really meant a lot! Also, for being a super thorough beta tester for our app!
@CitizenErased14 For all of our random chats, for letting me vent and for never being mad for too long when I say something insensitive about your characters Also for always motivating me to keep improving
@Pegasus143 For answering a ton of Plumtree questions when me or the BF aren't around, always helping people and for being a lovely being all around.
And thank you @Triplis yourself for your giveaway which let me get Vintage Glamour! I'm loving it! I've made a whole new family with the CAS items, and am renovating an old home to be glamorous.
Hello Thankyou all so very, very much! I feel quite embarrassed. I really appreciate your very kind and special words
There are so many people that I would like to post here. Every person who posts on these forums brings their own touch of specialness as they post. Whichever section of the forums that they post in, the words that they write often helps, or encourages, or answers qustiions, or brightens another simmers day as they read them. We are alll simmers from all around the world, all sharing the same interest which is simming. Everyone has their own hard times that they are going through, as well as everyone has parts of their lives that bring them happiness and joy. When we post on the forums, we don't know how other simmers are feeling that day or what is occurring in their lives, but it is great that we have these forums for simming that we can all share together about our Sims!
I enjoy talking to fellow simmers through the forums! Each of you are so very, very special, and your lives are so very precious. Thankyou for being uniquely you
Many thanks to @luthienrising for all her enthusiasm and encouragement, to @rosemow for generous helpfulness, and to @silencecomplex (Carl of Carl's Forum) for providing a helpful and courteous place for all simmers.
I agree wholeheartedly with the following above mentioned. Many Thanks indeed!
Thank you @CathyTea I'm honored to be mentioned here. I really appreciate you and everything you do on the forums. advice, support and kind words for others, Thank you.
Aww now I feel mushy too @ThePlumbob I'm really glad we met here and even irl! So awesome to have long-term simlit friends
also have to mention @CitizenErased14 at this point for cool simlit chats and interesting culture/language discussions thanks for putting up with my weirdness.
I would like to thank @TheSimSupply and most simmers on YouTube because they have inspired me to continue to play the sims and start my own gaming channel
