User blog:LostInRiverview/The Sims Wiki News - 25th October 2015



Oooh, so scary - LostInRiverview is writing a news blog this week! And it's early! *Screams of terror* Relax, it's okay. We'll tackle this week's news together. This is The Sims Wiki Weekly News.

The Sims Studio has created a unique render of the family of Electronic Arts CEO Andrew Wilson. This render portrays Wilson, his wife and their two children, one of whom is a toddler. Since toddlers do not (yet) exist in The Sims 4, the render could have been a one-off design. However, it could just as well be indicative of what we can expect toddlers to look like if or when they are added to the game. You can check out the render and get more information here.
 * Is this what toddlers will look like?

To celebrate Halloween, The Sims team has introduced the Team Trick vs Team Treat Challenge in The Sims 4. This challenge started on October 23 and runs through October 31. Sims in-game now have two new temporary interactions - 'trick' or 'treat'. Maxis is also releasing a few new objects in early November, based on whether more players pick 'trick' or 'treat'. To see more about the challenge, how to participate, and what's at stake, see here.

Please vote for your favorite caption for the image above Cowgirl: Tsk, boys aren't good at this game. Red hair girl: (to the cowgirl) How about we go outside and make out? "And this... *thumps*... is, um, the Flying Tiger move, ladies!" I hope the ladies liked my stunt! Cow-Girl: Uh, yeah... This is why you never use an overweight bowling ball to impress girls Welcome to BrokenBones Airways! Curse myself for not having good bowling skills! Boy: Haha, look at me girls. I'm the Maradona in bowling, Ronaldo and Messi combined, and Suarez... Girl: And you dive like Suarez? Hahahahaha! Katie and Jamie are impressed with Donald's impressive diving skills... his bowling skills could use work, though.

Check out our new image, and then leave your caption in the comments section below, starting with "Caption: ". Captions on this image will be voted on next week. We are also accepting image suggestions. If you know of an image on The Sims Wiki that would be fun to add captions to, let us know and we may feature it in a future Caption This!
