 What is Art Nouveau? Art Nouveau is an opulent, decorative art movement, popularized between 1890 and 1910. It focused on the beauty of the natural, unbroken lines found often in flowers, vines, and branches. Making use of clear materials like glass and combining them with carefully wrought metals, art nouveau asks designers to mimic dragonfly or butterfly wings. How can you best make use of this in your own builds? Practically, art nouveau is best used as an accent. Overdo it, and it easily becomes phony-looking. Take a look at April and Pink Moon’s thoughtful art nouveau vignettes for example. 🔮Pair Nouveau chairs, accent tables, and carpets with strong, straight lines. Notice that in both April’s examples, her furnishings are set against a back drop of straight-lined wood flooring or a straight-backed fountain. 🔮Pair Nouveau pieces with flowers or vines to further suggest natural inspirations. 🔮Use doors and windows made of glass and metal. The “seriously studious” windows come to mind. 🔮Choose a rich, natural color palette indicative of the brief, nature-inspired art nouveau period. How are you using your art nouveau pieces? Show off below!   Halloween Arrives in Sims MobileIn the wake of a college-themed Foxbury Institute Sweet Treats and male-centric Wumples event, Sims Mobile players looked to the horizon for what would be the long-awaited Sims Mobile Halloween event this year.

Instead of clicking a green checkmark at the end of an action, players will witness a looped animation while the game auto-collects their rewards. What are you most excited about in this update? Tell us in the comments!   Bring the Outside inBuilding in Sims Mobile forces even the most architecturally talented players to be extremely creative. To build feature walls, striped walls, or interior structures, mobile Simmers must use the tools available to build the homes of their dreams.   Think Outside the BoxIt’s easy to get stuck in a building rut. Now that Sims Mobile players have four floors worth of renovation space available to them, many are left scratching their heads and deciding just how to fill those rooms. How many bedrooms and bathrooms does one player need anyway? Consider the creative genius that is Mini Moo. Her stunningly sophisticated build features not only interior design staples such as bedrooms and kitchens, but she’s also created fabulous new areas in which her Sims may relax. Create a movie theater 📝 Place squat, square recliners in rows. 📝 Keep lighting low and minimal 📝 Include “sound equipment” such as the guitar amp for realism 📝Create narrow rows with runner carpets or the cheap kitchen mat (they have a lovely texture, and they snap well together.) Create a Spa 📝 Cover walls with wood panels 📝 Install a hardwood floor in a similar color to the walls 📝 Use squat wooden coffee tables as “seating.” 📝Include bathroom amenities such as soap dishes and hampers for a steam/spa room vibe. Bring the Outside In 📝Columns aren’t just for exterior support! Bring columns inside as fashion-forward interior walls. 📝Bring pizzazz to your makeshift column wall by alternating column colors. This creates the look of a stylish feature wall. Whar are your favorite rooms in your home? Share out in the comments!   After days of speculation, the Sims Mobile Game Changers finally revealed the newest update: a new type of treasure hunting live event. This new event does not give players a new area to explore, but it offers players levels five and over to earn CAS and Build mode prizes in a new way. Alternating with Sweet Treats events, Treasure Hunting events will send players hunting for clues and then leading both investigations and excavations in various areas of the existing map. Here’s a quick run-down of the way this new event works: 👉🏽There is NO new area. 💰When the treasure hunt begins, your Sim will complete a 4-hour event at their home, searching for “clues.” 📜 💰 The “clues” earned at the home event unlock other events at Downtown, Waterfront, and Market square. 💰Using special tokens called “Walkie Talkies,” Simmers get to “dig” for “relics.” Players can purchase clues about which relics you’ll find with simoleons and SimCash. They can also purchase extra dig opportunities with SimCash, simoleons, or cupcakes. 👉🏽PLAYERS USE THE RELICS TO PURCHASE PRIZES IN THE ORDER THEY LIKE. 👉🏽 You must unlock an entire row of prizes to unlock all the color swatches of those prizes, however. 👉🏽Participate in Small Frye’s side quest for extra relics 👉🏽The grand prizes for this particular dig are: a ping pong table, a female braided up-do, and a unisex mascot outfit. BUT PLAYERS MUST HAVE ENOUGH RELICS TO UNLOCK THE GRAND PRIZE. Game Changers also dropped news about a Wumples quest which will surface October 5th, and a set of purchasable packs which will trigger in-game after the September 28th update. (Many thanks to Simmerdown Mal for all her images!)   What are you most excited to dig up in this university-themed treasure hunt? Stay safe, never stop digging, and happy Simming!   A great way to make your Sim’s home feel more well-planned and cohesive is to choose a good looking color palette. What is a color palette? A color palette is a spectrum of colors that often occur naturally in nature. They are colors that enhance instead of clash. Not all shades of blue belong together, nor do all shades of red or pink belong together. Rather, balance saturated colors with more muted colors to best please the eye. Observe the fine examples below from MiMi, Keri, Bek, and Mallory. 🟦 Mimi uses a very common, very calming palette of duck egg blue and white. She accents the duck egg blue with more saturated blues in the carpeting. The different hues do not compete with each other. The light blue shade acts as the color palette’s main hue and the darker blue shade acts only as an accent. 🟥 Bold color palettes like red create a warm atmosphere while making a statement. Keri saturates her home with a rich red color while accenting with yellows, muted reds, and whites. ⬜️ Bek uses a pastel palette of pinks and white, accented with neutals like gray or black. The result is ultra-feminine, spring-like, and classy. ⬛️ Finally, Mallory ramps up richness and class in her build with black, rich browns, and accented whites. What’s your favorite color palette to use? Tell us in the comments! Stay safe and happy Simming!   Speculation about the latest Sims Mobile update has recently reached a fever pitch. Early afternoon on September 14th, 2020, Game Changer LukethePlumbob dropped an image of torn map along with the hashtag #XmarkstheSpot. The blocky, bejeweled, golden freezer bunnies and magnifying glass which accompanied the map fragment suggested a connection to Sims 4’s Jungle Adventure. Later that same day, Game Changer Simmerdown Mal dropped a similar map fragment, this time sporting a pair of skull coins.  If this were not enough, later that evening, SimGuruIlya quietly commented on a Sims Mobile News tweet from January 2020. This tweet proposes a new event type in which pirates have invaded Simville. All signs, from the pirate hashtag and the torn Treasure Island-like map to the skull-coins and ship’s bow-shaped shadow in Waterfront, seem to point to pirates. What do you think is in store for Mobile? Tell us in the comments! Stay safe, happy Simming, and THAR SHE BLOWS!   The Sims collectively, considering both mobile and PC iterations, hummed along dutifully predetermined tracks these past few weeks. As summer in the western hemisphere lurched into an unofficial autumn, The Sims as a franchise delivered few surprises as a whole. The Sims FreePlay plugged along with its regularly scheduled Inner Child’s Play treehouse quest and introduced the new School’s out live event. The Sims Mobile Game Changers unveiled new purchasable packs, two new Wumples quests, and an unexpected pair of free offerings to celebrate the new Sims 4: Journey to Batuu game pack, which released September 8th. It is, presumably, the quiet before the storm, a lull in groundbreaking news before the holiday season arrives. Fresh news is most assuredly on the horizon. The SIms FreePlay FreePlay wrapped up its latest Sim Chase only to dip back into a fan-favorite quest: Inner Child’s Play. This quirky quest guides the player through an adorable storyline involving a child’s birthday party, a semi-helpful but fabulously dressed witch, and a hapless friend named Crystal, who struggles to wrangle a houseful of hungry children. The player earns a treehouse for completing this quest, a prize that players can use for both adults, teens, and preteens. Most notably, FreePlay began its fresh live event: School’s Out. During this event, the player makes mountains of craftable materials such as pottery, glassware, jewelry, and candles. The player trades these items for various themed prizes. During “School’s Out,” players earn prizes like school desks, science lab stations, new flooring, brightly colored school doors, vending machines, a principal’s desk, and far more. As a grand prize, Simmers earn a fully built, full furnished school building. FreePlayers can stay tuned for the return of “Mean Curls,” which repopulated into the game September 9th, and the newest Sim Chase, which begins September 15th. The Sims Mobile On August 25th, Sims Mobile Game Changers confirmed what mobile Simmers witnessed earlier as a leak: the introduction of the newest Sweet Treat Showdown — Cultured Kitchen. Beginning August 31st, this event offered mobile players various kitchen accoutrements such as new counters, islands, womenswear, bread loaves, and similar clutter material. The grand prizes for successfully opening all prize boxes are a countertop pizza oven, a seriously smart fridge, and cutely curled side style for women. Game Changers also churned out news about two new purchasable packs. The first pack, Kitchen Essentials, popped September 5th for $7.99 USD. It included:
The highly anticipated Labor of Love pack will trigger for players September 16th. Costing $9.99, the pack offers:
Furthermore, Wumples #36 and #37 also dropped. In return for a grueling five day to-do list, Wumples the bunny offers Simmers the Very Voguish Vase and the Perfect Perfume on September 6th, and the Sitting and Staring doll alongside the Forget me Knit plush doll on September 21st. Finally, with just days before the release of Sims 4: Journey to Batuu, Sims Mobile offered its players two free Star Wars themed packs. The first, an adorable stuffed version of The Child, affectionally deemed “Baby Yoda,” was actually a rerun of the earlier May 4th offering. The second pack featured a dancing DJ R-3X, a droid-shaped stereo. It also offered two lightsaber wall lights in six different colors.  The Sims 4 Plagued by the stalwart discontent of their players, the Sims 4 developers were relatively quiet these two weeks. The overall reception for their newest Star Wars pack has been mixed, with many well-known Game Changers openly mocking the move as “niche” at best and foolishly timed at worst. The franchise rolled toward the release date with little fanfare, not even a guru-led livestream, and it quietly released September 8th without a hitch. Sim Guru Lyndsay took to Twitter once more to address player grievances, assuring them that although babies, drivable cars, and farming will not be in the upcoming expansion pack, that change, good change, is coming. Devs announced weeks ago, of course, that improved skin tones would enter the game this fall in a patch. With the holidays coming up, Maxis is also due to release a brand new expansion pack. Players have already begun to speculate on the contents. That’s all for now, but change is in the air, friends. Keep it locked here for more Sims news! Stay safe, love your loved ones, and happy Simming.  📝Tips&tricks Tuesday 📝 ————————————- Creative Kitchens and Perfect Pillar Placement I love a good kitchen, and given the current Sweet Treats theme, we would do well to return to some stellar kitchen tips with a twist!
