Sul sul Simmers!
Another week has passed and you all know what that means: it's time for our next Friday Highlights! 🎉
I know this has been a bit of a bumpy week for some but hopefully,
the recent stability improvements have helped you to slide right back into your game (
see what I did there? "slide" as in sliding down a mountain? As in Mt. Komorebi? That is covered in snow? Snow that you can slide down on? No? No one? Okay, nevermind. )
For those who have been checking out Snowy Escape, what are your first impressions?
And with that - on to what happened on the forums this week, shall we!?
Let's have a look at the hot topics this week!
- One of the really cool additions to the game came with the patch on November 10: sentiments! So, how has that impacted your Simming? @Duvelina invites you to "Share your sentiment gameplay".
- But sentiments weren't the only thing that this patch brought - we also got platforms! And if you are like me and still unsure where to start with all these new possibilities, I highly recommend popping over to @MDianaSims's great thread "Platform ideas" to get some major inspiration.
- After this week has been not-that-much-fun for some, how about something to laugh about? Exactly, that's what I thought! Why don't you check out @Nate_Whiplash1's "The game glitches screenshot thread" and get into the right weekend mood?
- When it gets colder outside, many of us have to take a break from gardening - so, thank goodness for The Sims where we can nurture our green thumb in the meantime! But now the question remains "Gardening - what do you plant?" Jump into @Turjan's fun thread and share what you are planting in your Sims 3 game!
- While we are talking about The Sims 3 ... although this great game has been around for quite some time already (I immediately feel old now), I'm still discovering new things every time I play. I'm sure it's the same for some of you! And like a coincidence, I stumbled across @TinySpaceFox's thread "What features in TS3 have you not tried?" I'm looking forward to reading your answers!
Alrighty, those were today's highlights! I hope you enjoyed the discussions as much as I did.
And, as usual, if you have any recommendations for future mentions, please let me know!
Have a great weekend and stay safe!

That's a cool winter screenshot in the announcement, indeed
It was such a fun thread!
i’m feeling the same exact way! i had to bring my computer to work to update the game, since wifi is down in my house .. and the game has taken 4 hours to load and is still on the loading screen. i have not been able to play my game at all this is just ridiculous. I’m tired of seeing “we’re working on this!” . Why give us a new expansion pack and keep talking about it if majority of us can’t even play it or ANYTHING at all. i spend so much money on this game for crappy updates, it’s ridiculous.
It may be best to post on a thread in the Mac tech section on the AHQ EA site about your issues

Please know that we absolutely want and need to hear from you and care about what you have to say! So, we only moderate or remove feedback posts (and posts in general) if they are against the forum rules.
Having said that, we also get a lot of feedback, as you can imagine, and not all of it can be put into the game - or it might take a while until those elements can be integrated.
About the other points made in this thread: I know many of you are experiencing issues with the game right now and I totally understand the frustration of not being able to play. Please know that the Sims team is looking into this!
So, until we have an update:
if you play on Mac, could you try the troubleshooting steps in this thread?
If you play on PC and have previously tried the audio workaround, remember to undo it. I'd also recommend you repair your game and clear the Origin cache.
I'm aware that this won't resolve the issue for everyone but it might be worth a shot.
And while I understand why you posted about your game issues in this thread but going forward, it would be great if you could post about those concerns in the correct forum sections/threads on that topic (or check out AHQ). If you post about something that is not related to the actual thread, it takes away from the discussion - in this case, the Friday Highlights - and that is not fair to the other Simmers who would like to chat about the topic of the thread.
Thank you!
I feel exactly the same, I’ve got every pack (bar 1 - Star Wars) and I have not been able to play since the game was uploaded. It’s ridiculous, I keep checking for game updates or bug fixes but it seems as if nothing is being done- haven’t even seen an apology or an ETA. At least give us an update - I’ve literally bought a game I can’t use - all its doing is taking up space on my hard drive at the moment ☹️
