Hello Everyone!

You might have seen our blog this week talking about #SimSummer, the way we’re celebrating a summer spent playing The Sims 4.

Each week will have a different theme, and we would love for you to share your screenshots on either Twitter or Instagram to see what YOUR Sims are up to.

Remember to keep an eye for an announcement about each theme (I will be sharing what the themes are each week here) and to share your image with the hashtag #SimSummer. If you tag a #SimSummer picture on Instagram or Twitter, you could get* some #SimSummer goodies, complete with a The Sims 4 towel, sunglasses, water bottle, and lanyard!

    I'd just wear the lanyard for the rest of time. Wouldn't even have to have anything on it.

    @SimGuruDrake I know that you can't talk us about new content which will be release in the future.. But is there a possibility to get another game pack soon? Maybe summer/sea themed in the next months? Or absolutely not? So I could stop thinking about that, please:)

    I was searching for that hashtag on twitter and I couldn't find it. I'd love to post some pics of my sims celebrating summer. Also I hope were getting some more game content for Summer next month.

    Me neither. A bit disappointed that the forums aren't good enough for the gurus, but appreciate that it was at least shared here.

    It's Winter here in the South! So I am finding the Summer theme a bit hard when I'm driving on frosted roads every day :))))). Well, maybe we will just let the Sims believe it is Summer ... hie! Better get a twitter account! What about tumblr??? xx

    Pretty sure there are tools available for both that enable randomly choosing an entry.

    Pretty sure the combination of a random number generator, and threads with competition entries only are not a new invention either, if randomly choosing an entry is a criteria.

    I personally don't care about competitions. It is just that after collecting feedback about issues on the forum, where one of the reported issues, is the disappointment/frustration with these forums being "ignored" and having to go to Twitter/FB for info, I find it "not promising" to see them make a competition that you can only enter, if you join Twitter or Instagram. But it WAS at least shared here, and that I do appreciate.

    EDIT: I swear, I always come across more negative than I intend to, so how about this: I hope there will be threads created with the weekly theme, for people to post their pictures in (even if it is not a competition) for the rest of us forum-dwellers to enjoy looking at :)

    So people who don't get involved in social media aren't going to be able to contribute? I don't have a twitter, instagram, facebook or any other of that type of account.

    *shrug* I have a Twitter account but figure my more professional-related followers aren't interested in seeing contest posts. It's easy enough to just make a second one. Figure it can't be much harder to make a first one. It's not like you end up forced to use the account all the time. People fill out contest entries etc. all the time; making an account somewhere to enter a contest strikes me as not a big deal. As corporate social media go, Twitter is less evil than Facebook in data collection, FWIW. Instagram is Facebook-owned, so between the two, if you're going to make an account to enter a contest, Twitter strikes as the one to use.

    The thing is....it shouldn't be necessary to open any other account to participate in anything Sims. This is the Sims forum operated by EA for Sims players. No I wouldn't be forced to use the account but I would be forced to open an account if I would like to participate.

    Why can't we post our screen shots here for the contest. I do not twitter or instagram.

    I would say it's not that forum posters don't matter but The Sims 4 gets more exposure through Twitter and Instagram. The Sims Community Website on Twitter has almost 18,000 followers, Sim Guru Graham has over 30,000 followers, SimsVip has over 27,000 followers, and the Sims 4 twitter account has over 400,000 followers.
