Sul sul!!
How was your week Simmers?
The Sims Alexa Skill
released this week, so I know some of you have been playing trivia and listening to more The Sims music than usual
We also announced that
The Sims 4 Get Famous will arrive to Xbox One and PlayStation 4 on February 12, and on the forums, we welcomed a new member to the team:
@EA_Rtas - his intro post is
here if you want to know more about him!
All in all, my week was quite busy! So allow me to illustrate this week's Friday Highlight with a screenshot I find very relaxing. It reminds me of Summer holidays, sun and calm.
The Palm Oasis, by @mcrudd - Available for download here, she is getting ready to celebre 600 Gallery followers!
Now that we all are in a relaxed weekend mood, or thinking that I may have lost my mind a bit, let's get started with what you really came here for!
- Continuing with the Summer theme - you can find several astonishing houses by visiting this thread by @KateEmerald : 'Kate Emerald's showcase | Creative builds without CC'. In case a relaxing park was not enough, I'm sure your Sims wouldn't mind spending their holidays in one of these lots
- And while you are placing new lots, you might want to check @QueenofMyshuno's topic, where she asks us all 'How do you use your neighborhoods?'. I was unaware so many neighbourhood overhauls happened in your games!
- Let's now move to The Sims 3! Remember blueprints? They can help build faster - same idea than with styled rooms. I always wondered how much you used this feature for your day to day building - never too late to find out! @emorrill asks us all in a poll with a simple and to the point title: 'Blueprints'.
- 'But Mai, is it all about build mode today?', Mai is telepathic now! Don't close the page yet! For all of you Live Mode lovers, @Beardedgeek opened a discussion to share their tendency to restart the game very often. And they are not alone! A condition that will be called 'restartitis' from now on. Check out the topic here: 'I hate suffering from restartitis'. Feels familiar?
- And last but not least... let me redirect your attention to a discussion which, while not new, totally deserves a visit as well: 'Last Sim you created', by @take0nme! Opened long time ago, this topic invites you to share a picture of the last Sim you created, and it contains a big collection of Sims that are a great show of the creativity of this community!
This is all from me as a wrap up for this week!
Happy simming weekend!
-Mai
PS.
@EA_Rtas, yes, I'm talking to you
@EA_Rtas - no matter how many tags you get in this topic

My guess is they're not really rounded but putting rocks on the edges creates the illusion. Or at least that's how I do it anyways.
It sure has been a fun discussion and polls are always a great way for me to see how other simmers play.
Thank you @EA_Mai
Thank you so very much for the mention of my thank you gift and sharing the screenshot of it @EA_Mai I feel very honoured
@TheGreatGorlon its exactly how @DeKay and @Jendowoz0612 discribed, here is a pic of the pool stripped from its rocks and plants to show you
Thank you so much Your mention brought it to my attention, I feel very honoured as I am not a builder, more a collection room and sim uploader LOL, but I was pretty proud of this little build of mine, and was super happy to see others like it too
Congrats on being featured here @mcrudd! Fellow South African here! So sorry about your brother, but that's a beaufiful build and thanks for teaching me something new!

Its always a pleasure, another quick tip if you would like it. You need to use bb.moveobjects on to place the rocks around the pool, but also if you hold down the Alt key while rotating the rock to place then it glides and can be placed at gazillions of different angles. So you can turn it to form a softer corner as well
Thank you

Hahahaha Its just a pool though with a small square building for toilets LOL. Love your new avvie, it reminds me of someone, just can't quite put my finger on it. Welcome to the forums @EA_Rtas
Yes but your square building has fantastic symmetry which I still can never achieve alas! Its alright though I like my weird out of shape buildings
@EA_Rtas -Welcome to the forums.I love both TS2 and TS3 a lot and have a BACC in TS2 which I play when I take a break from TS3.You should get better at building with practice because I was terrible at it in TS1 and got better in that game though I've done highly advaced builds in TS2 and TS3.
Here's Sunset Valley2 in the middle of a blizzard in the winter of 1525 from my apocalpyse challenge in Sims3.I built all of the community lot buildings in the town and built the city hall building from scratch as the town's main library and use rabbit hole rugs to make it function as city hall.
hahahahahaha
