The Sims 4 Mod: Environment Effect Overhaul

By default, when you enter a room, you’ll immediately be given a “Decorated”, “Nicely Decorated” or “Beautifully Decorated” Moodlet, which will immediately go away when you leave the room. If there are objects with emotional auras in the room, you’ll also be given an emotional Moodlet based on it.

With the new Environment Effect Overhaul mod, instead of just suddenly jumping between emotions when going between rooms, the effects will occur gradually.

When you enter a room, a Moodlet will gradually build up and get stronger the longer you stay in that room. When you leave, it will gradually fade.

The Environment score and number of emotional auras will still effect the speed it rises.

The general “Happy” Moodlets will rise glower than emotional auras, and require at least 80 Environment points (the amount usually required for the “Nicely Decorated” Moodlet) to have any effect.

The Community: Interview With XUrbanSimsX

The Community: Interview With XUrbanSimsX

Today I am here with a very special post! I was lucky enough to spare a few moments of Jenn’s time in order to construct the perfect interview about her role in the simming community! If you are here wondering “who is XUrbanSimsX” (which I highly doubt) She is a well known Youtuber with over 140,000 subscribers! She creates exciting, drama-filled Let’s Plays and is the creator of The Sims 4 Bachelor Challenge.

Why did you start playing The Sims?

The reason why I started playing the sims is because I loved the idea of being able to play the life of another person. Experiencing and doing things I normally wouldn’t being 13, it appealed to me.

What inspired you to begin Youtube and Let’s Plays?

I was inspired to start doing Let’s Plays by AndrewArcade and Quxxn. Watching them connecting with people all over the world and sharing how they played the sims looked fun. I wanted to show the world how I played my game, by including rich story lines and detail.

Do you have any advice for anyone wanting to start their own Youtube channel?

I do! Start small, do one Lp at a time and get comfortable with being in front of the mic. Open up, and be yourself. Don’t hide your personality, just be you and play how you would off screen! Interact with members of the simming community. Put yourself out there – reach out. Most of all enjoy what your doing and the rest will follow.

Tell us about your new Runaway Teen Lets Play?

Well, its about a troubled teen age’d girl who is sick of her parents trying to tell her WHO she’s going to be. I am sure a lot of teens can relate. Millie just wants to explore and find herself in her own time. The pressure from her parents was too much to handle causing her to run away. Going on her own. In the LP you can see the struggles she faces, and the pain she has put her parents through. It’s quite interesting actually.

What are your top tips for adding drama and excitement to your videos?

Adding drama is easy, simmers tend to over think it. That’s just IT. DON’T THINK – Just do! When you have spent hours building up your family and they are so perfect, it can get boring. So what I do, is just ‘think’ whats the worse thing that could happen right now, and do it. It doesn’t have to always be cheating. It can be deaths, or money issues. Maybe a sibling that has to move in with his brother and wife and that causes tension. Think of real life situations and put them in game. Its that easy!

Do you enjoy any other games besides The Sims?

I play other games occasionally. Such a GTA – Huge fan of the series. Maybe because its a ‘harder’ version of human simulation, but its fun. I also love some indie games, and other simulation games such as SIMCITY, Roller Coaster Tycoon. To be honest, nothing has kept me as entertained as The Sims though because my imagination can run wild.

That is all from Jenn for now, but if you would like to see more of her you can check out her Youtube channel here! She also has a website where you can find all the latest information about her content and even purchase some merchandise!

SimGuruDrake interviews Rachybop and BeyondSims about UK Simmers Meetup

SimGuruDrake has been speaking to the hosts of the UK’s Simmers Meetup @rachybop and @BeyondSims in their latest simmer spotlight. It’s a fantastic annual event and simmers from all over the world came to the 2015 meetup including SimGuruRachel and SimGuruLyndsay. Here we have the full interview direct via TheSimsBlog

SIMMERS GETTING TOGETHER

From sharing fantastic houses on The Sims 4 Gallery to creating amazing Custom Content, Sims fans never cease to amaze us. Your creativity and passion is inspiring, which is why we were so excited to hear about the 2015 UK Simmer’s Meetup – so excited that SimGuruRachel and SimGuruLyndsay both flew across the globe to visit the meetup! It was organized by Rachybop and BeyondSims, and we wanted to talk to them about the event.

Can you start off by telling us a little about yourselves?

Rachybop: Hi! I run a YouTube channel and do a weekly show called ‘Sims Saturday’ based around The Sims. I’ve been playing the game since time began (or so it seems) and I absolutely LOVE IT!

BeyondSims: Hi everyone! My name is Dan and I am the owner of BeyondSims.com, one of the oldest Sims fansites on the web! I have been playing The Sims since around 2001 and my site is a fun outlet for me as I love writing and creating content for the game.

What is the UK Simmers Meetup, and how long has it been around?

Both: The Simmers Meetup is an annual event where Sims fans from all over the world come together to participate in activities and meet other like-minded players! We held our first event in May 2014 at the Italian Gardens in Hyde Park and the second event was held on August 1, 2015 in London. Attracting over 100 Sims fans, the event featured a modern venue, catering, EA pods, a YouTube and website panel, and a surprise visit from Rachel Franklin and Lyndsay Pearson.

What made you decide to create this event?

Both: We’ve been lucky enough to meet lots of Simmers from the community at EA events over the years (including each other) and we wanted to meetup with everybody for a day out in London. We then had the idea to make it public and invite anyone to attend. We did not expect anyone to actually show up, however, when we arrived in Hyde Park to heaps of new Simmers faces from lots of different countries, we realized that there was a huge demand for this event worldwide. After the events success we immediately got to work to create this year’s event.

Do you have some moments from this year’s event that really stuck out?

Rachybop: There are SO many parts of the event that stuck out for me! It was a truly magical day that I’ll never forget. Creating the day was stressful at times and the pressure of making sure people would enjoy their time at the event was immense, but once those doors opened and people filled the venue, all that anxiety disappeared and it was pure fun and happiness.

Meeting new people and catching up with people I already knew was great! Being a part of the YouTube panel, giving away amazing prizes to raffle winners and hugging fellow simmers were the main highlights for me. Also, seeing everyone’s faces when the Guru’s arrived was just priceless.

BeyondSims: There are so many things that have stuck out this year as it was such a step up from our first event! Probably one of the things that really stood out for me was when I finally got to see over a year’s worth of planning come to life when we opened the doors. Forgetting how nervous I was, it was amazing to see Simmers enter the venue and be surprised by what we managed to do.

The venue felt organic, Sims-themed and it was just awesome to see people enjoying themselves and putting faces to people I’ve previously spoken to online. Another big thing that stood out was when Lyndsay Pearson and Rachel Franklin from The Sims Studio walked into the venue and everyone’s faces lit up with excitement as no one knew they were stopping by! They are just a few of the things that I’ll never forget about this year’s event.

Where should people go to learn more about the UK Simmers Meetup and will you be doing it next year?

Both: To find out more about The Simmers Meetup simply head over to the official website and be sure to follow us on twitter at @SimmersMeetup. We will definitely be holding at least one Simmers Meetup next year, and we hope to take it to other countries too due to overwhelming demand from all over the world.

Welcome back to another week of The Sims Video Spotlight! I’ve picked just a few of my recent favourite finds and I hope you enjoy them too, I’m always looking for new quality videos so feel free to suggest any you’ve been liking too!

The Sims 4: House Building – Creepy Manor

By BSimBuilder

Starting this week we have a house build that in my opinion fits the theme of October perfectly and is simply beautiful. This was created before the release of Spooky Stuff so for those of you who don’t own the pack but still want an eerie manor house I highly suggest you take a look at this! It’s the perfect balance between classic, creepy and elegant.

The Sims 4: Townie Makeover | Spencer Kim Lewis

By Canadian Simmer

Next we have a Create A Sim video, but a little different than the usual. The Townie Makeover tag/challenge that is going around has kept catching my eye and I think this one is brilliant, especially as it’s a whole family rather than one sim. I don’t know about you but I can get lost in watching other people create and change things and see what they come up with, Canadian Simmer did a great job with this family as to me they’re still quite recognizable and that is a great thing!

Let’s Play The Sims 4: Smitten

By Kaleidow

For the first of our Let’s Play’s today we have one I have never seen before, “Smitten”. This, as far as I’m aware, is not a tag or a challenge but something that Kaleidow personally likes to do with her Sims games and has even since The Sims 1. The idea seems to be that she rebuilds each town and fills it with her own lots and sims in a beautifully whimsical, creative style – even including some of your sims if you choose to send her some! She begins with Jean, a happy-go-lucky redhead sim who’s name was inspired by Jean from X-Men. I love this idea so much, it’s unique and I love the different style of everything as it’s so bright and cheerful!

[vc_video link=’https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I1s0bX2yw7k’]

Let’s Play The Sims 3: Showtime

By RoseSimmer

Here we have yet another brilliantly well made series from the lovely Natalie! If you love The Sims 3 you will certainly love this Let’s Play too as it’s so fun to watch and will definitely make you laugh. It follows three sims who are going to explore the professions from the Showtime expansion: a magician by the name of Iris, an acrobat named Hayden and a singer named Taylor. They all have wonderful unique personalities and I’m looking forward to seeing what they get themselves in to!

[vc_video link=’https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cn6nMQp2ycg’]

Let’s Play The Sims 3: University Life

By Kawaii

Our last video this week is another Sims 3 Let’s Play based around an expansion pack, but this time University Life. Kawaii creates a beautiful sim named Tori who is going to major in Art at university and certainly looks the part in my opinion. As she is a sim with the rebellious trait I’m looking forward to seeing what events may unfold, this should be an interesting one to follow along with!

[vc_video link=’https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZYkBTYty3eE’]

Thank you for reading guys and I hope you found something to keep you entertained! As I mentioned at the beginning if there are any fairly new and interesting videos you have seen feel free to share and suggest them, it’s great to spread the community’s creativity. Have a great day!

VIDEO: The Sims, in the style of Pokémon Nintendo Video Game

Ever wondered what would it look like if The Sims was designed in style of a Pokémon Nintendo GameBoy video game?

The creative Hat-Loving Gamer is here to answer that! With convincible 64-bit music and iconic Nintendo GameBoy graphics and animations, you’ll definitely wonder if The Sims was actually designed for GameBoy in the first place! (hint: it wasn’t)

The Sims 4 Get Together Release Date

Get Together

The previously mentioned November release has been changed to an early December release. Read below for more info about Get Together, its recent changes, and why they pushed back the date.

Get Ready to Hang Out Together

In August, we showed off our next expansion pack, The Sims 4 Get Together*, including the beautiful world of Windenburg, the DJ and Dancing Skills, and the ability to create and join your own unique Clubs. As you might have guessed from the name, this expansion is about your Sims getting together in really exciting new ways. We loved seeing your reactions to the news, and closely followed all of your comments and discussions.

Your enthusiasm and feedback inspired us to work even harder to make sure that this pack is everything it could be. So we’ve decided to take a little more time to work on the expansion pack. The Sims 4 Get Together will now be releasing in North America on December 8, and rolling out to the rest of the world by the end of that week.

We’re taking this time to add more polish and depth into the core of The Sims 4 Get Together. We think this time will allow us to make the experience even bigger, better, and cooler. We’re working on some new items and features that we really think you’re going to love. There’s a new board game (Don’t Wake the Llama!) and the Natural Pool now has a diving rock for your Sims to jump off!

A lot of extra attention is also going towards Clubs, which allow you to create new social experiences. As we played with our Sims hanging out with their Clubs, we felt like they needed a special hangout to call their own – the Upper Crusts should have a private room at the local Café, and the Spin Masters should be able to have an exclusive Discotheque where they practice their dance moves. You can still take your Club members out and about, but now you can also create your Club’s signature spot, and that can lead to cool personalisation.

We’re really excited to take some extra time on making sure the new expansion pack is filled with things to do, and we look forward to telling you a whole lot more about The Sims 4 Get Together in early November!

The Sims 4: Spooky Stuff Pack Review

Spooky Stuff Pack Review

This Halloween just won’t be complete without a set of good Sims 4 decorations. If you are waiting to get the Spooky Stuff pack for your Sims maybe my review of some of the items included in it will sway your decision. When I got the pack I immediatly went to make a new Sim in CAS. The new costumes added in this pack are Male and Female Pirates, Fairies in several colors for females with fairy eye face makeup in the face paint options, Male/Female Roman Soldier, Male/Female Zombie prep school costume, Male Ninja costume as well with a Ninja Mask available in the hat category. There is also a Male and Female Super Llama costume you will be able to unlock by achieving a gold trophy in the new Spooky Party category in social events.

There are about 62 new items in the pack most with various color selections. The pack comes with 38 cas items, and 24 new build/buy mode items. My favorite from this selection is the Spiderweb wallpaper in aqua as it is a multi-colored webbing. This wall covering seem to glow a bit in dim lighting. There are also two new flooring choices, a chevron carpet and a wood floor as well, both in several colors.

The new items include a pumpkin carving station that will help increase your Sims handiness skill and the higher the skill the more pumpkin styles to carve. I love this item as you can have a variety of pumpkins decorate your house as well as build skill. The pumpkins will spoil though after a few days, so let your Sims stomp them for extra fun.

The new candy bowl will give your Sims a great little jump scare with several different items springing from the candy bowl. This item also comes in a few different colors. New recipes are added as well, 3 new recipes, the cheesey eyeballs (lvl 3), spooky cookies (lvl 2), and the zombie cake (lvl 4), all of which very much fit the theme.

There is a lazer light show cauldron that you can turn on and see the laser ghosts floating around in the air above the cauldron. The tombstone fog machine can be changed to the game lights and brightness too just as any other light in the game.

Overall I really like this pack and I feel you will too especially if you like Halloween. In my opinion I think this is one of the best stuff packs thus far that matches the theme. The small cost of $9.99 for everything included is a great value as well. I know I will be using these items throughout the year not just during Halloween.

The Sims 4 Politics Mod Pack Now Available

Are you ready for more content for your Sims to enjoy? Introducing The Sims 4 Politics Mod Pack! Politics brings three new skills to the game – Protest Leadership, Debating and Influence – as well as a brand new Political career. Oh yeah, and if you have Get to Work installed, it will be active!

The mod adds a new object, a clone of the The Sims 3 Podium Conversion by Cinderellimouse (used with permission), which contains custom interactions used for protests as well as various interactions related to the career. You can also use it to practice skills.

You can download the mod from here: http://zerbu.tumblr.com/politics

Political Career – Start off as a protester and work your way up to become Leader of the Free World. If Get to Work is installed and there is a City Hall venue placed in the game, the new career will be active.

Protests – Create change in the community by holding protests. Protests can lead to powerful Moodlets for the whole household that will have positive effects… or the protest could end up having the opposite effect and create a negative Moodlet instead.

Debating – Take part in debates online and with other Sims. Can your Sim create change, or will the opponents get the better of them?

Influence – Influence the moods and actions of other Sims. Get your friends to cook and clean for you, or give your family a helping hand in their ambitions with a quick emotion boost. (Note: Some features of this skill require Get to Work)

The Sims 3 Store to The Sims 4 Object Conversion Tutorial

The Sims 3 Store to The Sims 4 Object Conversion Tutorial

I was recently trying to figure out how to convert Sims 3 Store Content to the Sims 4. I have finally found an easy way to do so. This is the second conversion tutorial that I have done, here you can find the Object Conversion Tutorial. We will be referencing that tutorial later.

This tutorial is for TS3 store content Objects, not CAS items.

As a reminder, before converting any items from the Sims 3 be sure to have the original creators permission.

For this tutorial you are going to need the following programs:

The Sims 3
Delphy’s Sims3Pack Multi Extractor (*Registration Required)
S3RC
TSR Workshop
Sims4Studio (*Registration Required)

You must have The Sims 3 installed on your computer, you may also install any expansions or stuff packs you have, but the base game is required.

Optional Programs:
The following programs are not needed but will come in handy later in this tutorial.

S3PE

Be sure to download and install these programs, if you have any questions on installing please ask.

I will be walking you through the conversion steps in sections, I will refer to other sections so please follow this guide step by step.

Sections are as follows:

Section One – Installing S3RC & Delphy’s Sims3Pack Multi Extractor
Section Two – Converting Sims3Pack files into .package files
Section Three – How to re-compress .packages with S3RC
Section Four – Checking .packages with S3PE (Optional)
Section Five – Opening final .package with TSR Workshop
Section Six – Follow Object Conversion Tutorial

In this section I will be walking you through the steps of installing the programs you will need for part of the tutorial.

I will not be teaching you how to install Sims4Studio or TSR Workshop. If you have any questions on installing those programs feel free to ask.

So, lets get started.

– The first program we will need is S3RC : TS3 Recompressor Tool.

When on the download page in the first forum post you will find the download. Select the version for your OS.

There are two options available as pictured below: x64 OS and x86 OS

Now that you have downloaded S3RC you need to unzip the .RAR file. (Using 7 Zip / WinRar etc.)

Once you extract the .RAR file, there will be two files inside: S3RC.exe and Decrapify.exe

Move the S3RC.exe to your desktop.

– The next program that we will need is Delphy’s Sims3Pack Multi Extractor.

This program is hosted on Mod the Sims, you must register for the site before you will be able to download.

Scroll down under the pictures and you will see a navigation menu, click ‘Files’.

Once you are on the files page you will click on the highlighted text next to the magnifying glass.

Always be sure if there is more that one download that you are downloading the most recent version.

Now that you have downloaded Delphy’s Multi Installer you need to unzip the .RAR file.

(Using 7 Zip / WinRar etc.)

Once you extract the .RAR file, move ‘Sims3Pack Muti Installer.exe’ to your desktop.

So now you should have two .exe files on your desktop: S3RC and Sims3Pack Multi Installer

The Sims 3 Store to The Sims 4 Object Conversion Tutorial

(Don’t worry if they do not have icons.)

In this section I will be showing you how to convert Sims3Pack files into .package files with Delphy’s Sims3Pack Multi Extractor tool. The reason that we change the file type is to make it easier to convert to The Sims 4.

Important: Do NOT download more than one Sims3Pack at a time, or you will end up with a ton of .package files you will have to sort through.

Make sure you have installed Delphy’s Sims3Pack Multi Extractor and it is located on your desktop.

So, lets get started.

First, we need to get our Sims3Package files we want to convert.

For your purchased TS3 store content:

Login to your account on thesims3.com > Store Navigation > My Store Account > Purchase History

Under Purchase History you will find all of the items that you have purchased for TS3.

If you are converting a Sims3Pack or .Package file that has been created by someone other than Maxis make sure that you have permissions from the creator to convert. As some creators do not allow there content to be altered by others.

For this tutorial I will be converting a Sims 3 Store Set, so that you can see how to distinguish the files from one another in a pack.

I will be doing ‘The Director’s Set’.

1. Once you have found the item or set that you would like to convert hit download to install to your sims 3 game.

It will open the launcher for The Sims 3, as pictured below.

Once you see the item you downloaded go ahead and close The Sims 3 Launcher.

You do not have to install the item into your Sims 3 game.

2. Next we need to create two new empty files on our desktop.

– Sims 3 Packs

– Converted .Package

All together we should have the following on our desktop:

3. Next we need to move our downloaded Sims3Pack to our new folder.

You will find your download under: Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 3 > Downloads

Move your download to the ‘Sims 3 Packs’ folder you created on your desktop.

4. Open ‘Sims3Pack Multi Installer’

You will see a window like the following open.

Step 1:

Hit ‘browse’ and find the ‘Sims 3 Packs’ folder you created on your desktop.

Step 2:

Hit ‘browse’ and find the ‘Converted .Package’ folder you created on your desktop.

Rename File Check-box:

If you are download a Sims3Pack with ONE item included(Example: A sims3pack with just a chair) check the ‘Rename Files’ box.

If you are downloading a Sims3Pack that is a SET with multiple items included DO NOT check this box.

When you have both of these paths selected to your folders, hit ‘Extract’.

Now you can Close Sims3Pack Multi Installer.

5. Go to the Converted .Package folder you created on your desktop.

You should now have .package files with crazy names like the following:

Each of of theses .package files are an item included in the ‘Directors Set’ I choose to download.

Meaning, that there are 8 items in this particular set.

6. You can now delete the Sims3Pack file inside of the ‘Sims 3 Pack’ folder on your desktop, you will no longer need it.

In this section I will be teaching you how to re-compress a .package file with S3RC so that It will be formatted correctly to open with TSR Workshop.

So, lets get started.

1. First be sure that you have downloaded S3RC and it is located on your desktop.

2. Open your ‘Converted .Package’ folder on your desktop.

(Created in Section Two of this Tutorial)

3. Select your .package file or files.

To select multiple files: Click the first item in the list > ‘Hold Shift’ > select the last item in the list.

Once everything is selected it will look like the picture below.

4. Drag and drop your .package files into the S3RC.exe on your desktop.

A Black ‘Command Line Box’ will appear on your screen.

Depending on how many .package files you are re-compressing it may only take a second and ‘flicker’ on the screen, or it may stay up for a few minutes. Just let the box do it’s thing and when it does go away you can Close the Converted .Package folder.

This section is Optional! This section is meant for those of you that have multiple Sims 3 .package files, meaning you have converted an entire set of items.

In this section I will teach you how to open you Sims 3 .package files with S3PE to locate the thumbnail of each of you .package files so you can distinguish which .package is which item.

If you do not have multiple .package files you can skip to SECTION FIVE.

So, Lets get Started.

1. Open S3PE

2. Go up to ‘File’ > ‘Open’

Navigate to your ‘Converted .Package’ folder on your desktop.

‘Open’ the .Package file you would like to check with S3PE.

I Recommend doing them in order starting at the top.

3. Scroll down until you see ‘THUM’, select it.

On the right side of the screen you will now see a thumbnail of the item.

4. Go up to ‘File’ > ‘Save As’

‘Select’ the .package file that you have open.

‘Delete’ the old .package name in the save box and type in a description that is helpful to you to distinguish the item.

5. Repeat steps 2-4 for all of your Sims 3 .package files, as desired.

In this section I will teach you how to open you final Sims 3 .Package file with TSR Workshop.

So, lets get started.

1. ‘Open’ TSR Workshop

2. Click ‘Create New Project’

3. Click ‘New Import’ from the Default options then click ‘Next’.

4. On the ‘Import from .package’ page, click ‘Browse’.

5. Navigate to your ‘Converted .Package’ file on your desktop.

Change the file type to .package, it will be default to TSR .wrk files.

6. You will now ‘Open’ the desired .package file you would like to import.

A window will pop up asking “Is this a Sims 4 package?” click ‘No’.

Important Note:

In the Projectype line, make sure it says ‘OBJECT’ then click ‘Next’.

In some Sims 3 Store sets ‘CLOTHING’ items are included. I am unable to help with clothing items at this time.

7. On the page called ‘Project Details’ just click ‘Next’.

This page does not matter since we will not be saving our TSR .wrk files.

8. The last page says ‘Finished’ just click ‘Next’.

Continue to my object conversion tutorial HERE in SECTION ONE, step 9 to finish your conversion.

The Sims Video Spotlight: #3

Hi guys, welcome back to another sims video spotlight, and hello October! This week I tried to include some more Autumn and Halloween inspired videos so I hope you enjoy those and that it helps get you in the mood for this lovely season! Please note most of these videos include CC and mods seeing as we don’t have much seasonal content for the Sims 4 yet, but it’s coming I’m sure! *Excited*

The Sims 4 | Autumn Family CAS

By Snow Enchanted

Let’s kick things off with two themed Create-A-Sim videos. The first being an Autumn family, who in my opinion look nice and cozy in their jumpers and hats! I wanted to include this one not only because Snow Enchanted made them very well, but because there is a child involved and it’s not too often I see Create-A-Sim videos that aren’t teens or young adults.

The Sims 4 | Create A Sim: Vampire

By Sparkly

For the second Create A Sim video, we have a vampire inspired sim. This is perfect as Halloween is just at the end of the month now, and Sparkly made this sim so well! She includes a couple of links to the custom content she used, as well as her mod folder – I don’t particularly agree with posting mod folders as I think creators should get their due credit, but the video is great nonetheless.

I would like to note that the intro to this video contains flashing/flickering, so if you are sensitive to flashing lights please skip to 0:35 where it stops and the creation begins.

The Sims 4 | Room Building: Spooky Living Room

By SimtasticBuilder

Next up we have a wonderfully spooky room build, using items from the new Spooky Stuff pack. I love this room so much, it’s rather eerie yet cozy at the same time and again, perfect for Halloween! SimtasticBuilder has done a brilliant job with this room, which you can download from the gallery.

Let’s Play | The Sims 3: Island Paradise

By StarlightSims

This video is different to the rest in that it isn’t Autumn or Halloween themed, got to include something for those of you who may not be into Halloween! Island Paradise was one of my favourite Sims 3 expansions and this Let’s Play is very well made and great to watch! It’s a somewhat general play through, so anything can happen.

Let’s Play | The Sims 4 :Seasonal Livin’

By Mathesims

Finally we finish this week with a new Let’s Play by Mathesims, focusing on Autumn. He uses a mod that makes Willow Creek look in season so expect this Let’s Play to be a little different to previous ones! I’m loving this so far and Mathesims is rather entertaining to listen to, give this Let’s Play a shot if you’re looking for something unique.

I hope you enjoyed this week, if you did feel free to comment and let us know what you think or if you’re just as excited for the seasonal changes as I am. As always thank you to everyone who entertains us with your wonderful content, keep simming!
