Christmas 2020 ... NOT so SECRET SANTA

[itsjulie]

NOT so SECRET SANTA





Santa, like the rest of us, has had a very rubbish year this year!!
Unfortunately, he is missing one of his little elves, the one who usually organizes his secret santa for him.

As Santa is VERY busy, and we all could do with something nice to put a smile on our faces right now,
we are going to help him out a little this year, and hold our own NOT SO SECRET SANTA!!!

On this thread you can leave a little creative gift for other members
This can be anything from creating this person a playlist, to writing things you like about them to make them smile.
Making them a picture collage of some of their sims if they've shared any, make them a tag, or anything else creative you can think of!
It could be a poem, it could be Sim, or non-sims related.
The aim is to make something nice for them, something personal that comes from you that might make their day.

When you have created your gift ... post it on this thread for them to find.
don't forget to say who the gift is for when you post it!!

And you don't have to make just one person smile ... leave a creative gift for as many members as you want!!

If you would like to keep the gift anonomous ...
you can pm your gift to either Julie or Peachy and they will post it for you.



If you have any questions about this event ... Please go to out Christmas Questions & Answers thread



All participants will receive our Not so Secret Santa medal
your thank you for trying to make somebody else's day!!

I'll start us off!

Merry Christmas, Ciyrose! I made you a couple of sims to use as future spouses in your Otts ISBI! (since you have SO MANY generations to go!) I also gave them easy aspirations so you can earn some easy points! I've uploaded them with the hashtags #mojot89 and #ciyrosesims for easy access!

This is a little poem for Trip! I hope you have a Merry Christmas!

I may still be the Trizzle queen
But the Arcade champ you are to be
Scores were posted
Places swapped
But in the end, you were on top!

Congrats on taking over those scores to be the big winner in the arcade! Maybe I'll get you next year.

Merry Christmas, 108Sims! I made you a collage of some of your founders! You’re definitely what I’d call a friend, and I’m grateful for that, and the advice you’ve given me.

Merry Christmas mojot89!

I remember back in Chapter 63 of your Operation Repopulation: A 100 Baby Challenge you shared a photo of your Beagle after she had unplugged your computer for the 2nd time. That chapter stuck out for me because not only was that the chapter that featured Brooks from my Baby Boom Challenge but I also have two Beagles. As one beagle fan to another I wanted to try to recreate your Beagle in the Sims 4.

You said in your post that your beagle was usually independent but liked to snuggle so I made the dog on the Sims 4 Independent and Friendly. If your Beagle is anything like mine she is also vocal so I made this one vocal too. Since I didn't know your dogs name she is listed as Mojo on the Gallery and also includes the #mojot89 and #beagle.

I am not sure how accurate this is as your beagle was laying down in the photo you posted, so I only had the one side to go on. I also had a little trouble around the eyes as it was my first time using the coat painting tools in CAS. But hopefully you enjoy and I got close!

Thank you good sport. I may even have a consolation prize up my sleeve (and somehow I couldn't crack 150k on Trizzle this entire month wtf)

Nah really this is so sweet.

Thank you so much for this! This really made my day and put a big smile on my face! Thank you for being friend and for taking the time to make this!

Ah! Yes! I love her! And you did a really goodjob with her considering you had a pretty crappy photo to go off of! And her personality is spot on. She is definitely vocal! She will definitely be added to one of my challenges the next time I get a dog lover sim! THANK YOU so much!

To Julie


I would like to say
for all the creative pictures that you have done, the help with all my creative needs (as i can't draw for toffee). For helping to be a moderator. And just being you.

This one is for Gray. Here are some of my favorite Bookers, looking back, since you just finished your legacy. Reading it always made me laugh and put a smile on my face. Thank you to you and your simmies for brightening my day!

Allison!!!!! Omigosh!
Thank you so much! This has made my entire Christmas, like you don't even know <3 I'm so happy that my little legacy brought so much joy to you and that they mean as much to you as they do to me!

Also, your choice is absolutely top quality. They're all my faves too!

Honestly thank you so much for this <3

Happy Festivus to my giftees!

Snazzle

Snazzle, my wonderful housemate on this forum and a top-tier signature haver if I gotta be honest, gets more TS3 poses for that signature. For some family. There were some ideas that collided here.

Spoiler:

Five poses, you can use as few as two (either parent + one toddler) or as many as all. I can't predict how your challenges will go and neither can the player.

Included in the download is both the pose list and non-list packages and the same preview picture here.

ciyrose

Ciyrose gets a gag gift for Meeple Monopoly. Please I urge you to guess what I did and what possessed me to do it...

Spoiler:

Good lord. I know the ending is gonna be Rich Uncle Pennybags taking all the heirs back to the mothership. And I finally caught up on the most recent update?



Rich Uncle Pennybags travels without CC or his riches (he's fresh out of CAS), and in the space of a day became one of my most popular downloads, so you know it's high quality content.

LivvieLove

This year has been a doozy, enjoy your break from Santa duties and a card (when the Now That's What I Call Madness Vol. 2 playlist fell through)

Spoiler:

May Santa Quinn make all your Christmas dreams come true. Of course it comes in full-size for maximum hijinks.

[hr]

Love you guys and all. Down the memory hole this godawful year goes.

Haha, that is awesome. I shall go download him now!

[ciyrose]

For mojo! Because you can also use Sims for either your ISBI, or that 100 generation goal, here is a pair that could be used for either. They are named after birds of the Laridae variety (hence the last name!) I hope you may find room for them, I think they are fun.



MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

And also to ALL of our different types of admins or moderators:

THANK YOU!!!!

Be you super active, or not as active, you are appreciated for all that you do and/or have done to make this such a great forum and community!!!
