Friday Highlight September 21st - A week on The Sims forums

Sul, sul Simmers!

This week's Friday Highlight is a little different and a little sadder for me as I have a little announcement to make.

Today is my last day on The Sims forums as an EA Community Manager, as I am moving on to a different role in EA.

I wanted to take a moment to just say: "THANK YOU for a wonderful year!" The past year or so has taught me a lot and I can honestly say I loved every minute I spent with you! I absolutely love your passion, creativity, dedication and vision - you are what makes The Sims amazing.

And before you get worried, the EA moderators will still be around - @EA_Lanna and @EA_Cian will check up on you regularly! I am handing my bigger tasks to a brother in arms when it comes to Forum Community Management - @EA_Tom will be around to finish the currently running Giveaway and you might see him poking his nose into other things until my "replacement" is brought on board (and that shouldn't take too long)! Sadly, this will mean that Friday Highlights will need to go on hold for now as well, but hopefully they will make a return at some point.

Again my sincerest Thank you and all my love to all of you!

With all that said I want to still highlight some amazing threads this week - so jumping right in:
And that is truly it from me. I'll be keeping an eye on things and you never know maybe sneak in a few comments here and there!

Have a lovely weekend all and have fun!

I will miss you all!

    Hello :)
    Thankyou very much for all that you have done for the simming forums community over this last year :)
    It is sad that you are leaving the forums, but exciting for you as you start a new role in EA. I hope that you settle in very well to your new work. May your future ahead hold much specialness <3

    Nooooooooooooooo!
    We don't want you to go!

    I hope your new role involves less arguing simmers, and less necro posts. :p

    @EA_Mage you'll be greatly missed I only knew you for a short while but it feels like I've known you for along time you Supported me in many ways made laugh during some Challenging situations and was supportive treating me the same even with a Disability . Without you I felt unwelcome but you took me in and taught me new ways of Thinking while its hard Change I've had many myself like loosing someone you love.

    Here is my advice for you " Change is scary no doubt but life doesn't take things away without giving you something back perhaps this Journey will teach you something incredible ; Life takes but also gives us new people to connect , meet and teach us lessons that help shape us into a Stronger person take each challenge day by day and one moment at a Time let this be your learning opportunity and allow the universe open doors to a new you"

    Your greatly strong and happiness is around the corner remember we can't have sadness without having the chance to find happiness I wish you all the luck and wish you all the success in your new role because your on a new path celebrate life and know happiness and new friends are around the corner waiting to welcome you to a new team.

Anyway - thank you again. OH and probably a congrats too as usually when one door closes there a bigger and better one opens - so if in order congrats for your next adventure.

    Sorry to see you go, @EA_Mage. Hope you enjoy your new position.
    Who's taking over changing usernames then? Have been thinking about having mine changed. Think I've finally decided which I want too.
