 Afternoon, Morning, and Evening Simmers!
…in that exact order (but only if you are traveling West)

 We have just a quick content add for you, so without ado of a furthering type…

…the New Stuff

 Some new stuff for your Sims to celebrate the Day of the Dead!
•…which technically isn’t until the end of October.
•… but they’re Sims. So, technically any day can be the end of October.
•I’m reminded of the famous quote, “Today will not be known as Taco Tuesday. It will be known as Freedom Friday, but still on a Tuesday!”


So you were saying, what’s new?
•A new recipe for Pan de Muerto is available under the Cook… interaction.
•Several new objects are available for your Sims to decorate their homes. Search for the term “Day of the Dead” in Buy Mode to find…
•Two new wall hangings, a table, some candles, and a sculpture.

•There are also several new outfits for your Sims in Create a Sim!
•Male and Female Sims have a new full body outfit, plus face makeup.
•Female Sims have a new hair, and Male Sims have a new hat.
•Children also have a new full body outfit and face makeup.

And since we are on the subject of October… turns out Oct 1st marks the end of a quarter… so, that’s a thing.

 Also, the end of a quarter has ridges.

 Did you know that if you are only looking at one side of a ridge, you can’t see the other side? But if you wait, and let yourself move forward… just a short bit, you might find yourself on the other side of the ridge, able to see more.

 Is it better on the other side? It might be, but I suppose in the end it all depends on the perception of which side of the quarter you are looking from, and prefer.

 And with that little bit of wisdom, I wish you a happy Release Tuesday!

It looks like there will be a new special collection, sugar skulls. I came across the display shelf while playing tonight.

[Playalot]

I wonder if that is just for October or in the game for good now. I think completing the collection unlocks a new interaction with Grim.

I was actually wondering too if these items are just for the month of October or if they're permanent as well. I've tried searching on it a little and not coming up with anything that says one way or the other.

[Bri]

From what I dug up, I know there is going to be a Day of the Dead sort of event for October.

As for being permanent, that much hasn't come up.  However, early in October, there is supposed to be more word about this.
