The Sims Wiki news
If you've been on the wiki in the last couple of days, you'd have noticed the seasonal theme which TSW is now using that I implemented a couple of days ago. A big thank-you to everyone who was involved in this and gave feedback as it was definitely a group effort. If you notice a glitch or wish to provide feedback in general leave a comment in this forum thread.
 * Seasonal theme implemented!

The theme is scheduled to end on December 27th, 2014.

Other than the discussion on the new theme there has been little discussion on the forums. Please give your input. Same as always, the whole list of discussions is here. And, much like always, anyone is welcome to participate, whether it be participating in a discussion or raising a new topic.
 * Discussions to comment on:
 * Voting policy amendments
 * Issues with Featured Content voting
 * Family navboxes discussion
 * Discussion on the "alternate universe" theory and how we should approach it in regards to articles
 * Discussion of ongoing issues related to spammers on the IRC channel

A new month means a new monthly question! This month's question is: ''What mod do you think you can't live without in the respective series? If you don't play with mods, why?'' Leave your thoughts here and join in the discussion.
