Since he's left us an Easter egg:

I thought maybe we could send him off with a few kind words and full belly by posting our goodbyes and pics of meatballs.

Thanks for all the nice art, good fun, and sharp remarks. Good luck with your next endeavor and don't be a stranger!

Wow. I wonder why he's leaving.

So did anyone find the Easter Egg yet?

No and idk how we're suppose to know if it's already Ingame or in future pack.

It's probably just a meatball poster

Bye bye, @SimGuruMeatball.

What's the last project? (Out already or still in production).

Whatever it is, I'm betting it's meatball related.

It could be for family reasons or personal reasons. When you work in the game industry, there are long hours.

Best wishes and have a happy future wherever you go!

It really is not our business to know why, I know we are all curious, but he could have many reasons, we may never know.

I barely been on forums for more than a year. But in the little time I was here, it was a pleasure talking to you about art and the Sims and gaming on forums @SimGuruMeatball. I was truly saddened to hear that you were leaving through your Twitter message. I wish you the best in future projects and thank you for all the work that you have done with multiple Sims games. If you ever get a chance to visit Santa Barbara, CA I'd recommend you do so it can inspire your future art. You might like Solvang too. So I hope you take some time to travel a bit in California if you are still looking for work.

Anyone whenever I'll visit IKEA, I'll always think of how cool your username was.

This thread needs more meatballs:

I especially loved the items he created for Sims 2, and will miss him. I appreciate that he came here to discuss stuff with us, he's one of the very few that has done that on this forum. Very best of luck to you, @SimGuruMeatball, thank you for everything you've done for the Sims and I wish you well.

Goodbye @SimGuruMeatball May your future be happy and satisfying, much like this meatball. I love the art from these games and you will probably never know the extent of our appreciation. Once again, best wishes.

Hello Thankyou very much all your work that you have done for the Simming community. May your future ahead hold many special times in all that your life holds.

True. It would be nice to know, but it really isn't any of our business to begin with. We really shouldn't ask.

Goodbye, @SimGuruMeatball! Best of luck in whatever you choose to pursue in the future!

Or he found a company that serves awesome meatballs for lunch.

@Scobre That's a huge meatball!

One more before I head out to play with some of your wonderful work, Good sir. Once again, best wishes and safe journeys.

Scobre

I found another big one. I had to do google translate on it which still makes it sound not quite right.

Grandma I'm not hungry, I just a meatball, thank you!
Alright love grandma, only one!

Or maybe even just a better job for himself or a family member -- I remember SimGuru Smitty left when her husband got a promotion which involved a job transfer far away from the Sims Studio where she was working. I think he mentioned he's from Denmark or some such -- maybe he's going back home to be closer to aging parents.

@SimGuruMeatball -- best wishes to you and your future travels. Thanks for all your hard work. :-)

Maybe when a Sim makes spaghetti, there'll be little tiny meatballs on top.

He said on Twitter that the egg is in the unannounced pack...
