In celebration of Valentine's Day, Maxis is holding a little contest, the details of which follow:

Salutations Simmers!

Love is in the air. Or should I say, love will be in the air. We had a crazy idea last week, one that made us smile, and we hope you agree. Tomorrow (or if you are in Australia, today) is Valentine’s Day and we want to celebrate with you.
       
A little back story: We’re able to collect various snippets of gameplay data, which we use to help us improve the game. Now, we want to use this data for a little mischief, a little fun, and… a little reward.

It’s time to WooHoo!

This weekend in The Sims 4 is officially WooHoo Weekend! If you can get your Sims to WooHoo 4 million times over the next two days*, we’ll build you a new gnome. You can see the concept drawing for it below! We’ll release this gnome – for free - in a patch in March (yes, that’s confirmation, we will have a patch in March) which will be available for all owners of The Sims 4**. And, if you manage to reach 5 million, we may throw in some snazzy hair styles as well.


       
It’s not all about WooHoo though. We truly want to see love in The Sims 4 flourish. We want your Sims to kiss, find their soul mate, go on dates, have children, and more. When the event ends, we’ll put all of this data together to share with you so we can all enjoy your accomplishments. I can’t wait!

So, what do you say?
       


Can your Sims Woohoo 4 Million times, or 5 Million, or more, over the Valentine’s Day weekend? We recommend candles, some great soulful music, and at least two Sims.

Ready…

Set…

WooHoo!

*WooHoo Weekend starts at 2:00PM PST Friday February 13, 2015, and finishes at 11:59PM PST Sunday February 15, 2015.
 **When a new base game patch is available, you will be prompted to download the next time you log in. Just click “yes” and any new content will download with the patch.

I really don't understand this.  One couple whoo hooing 5 million times?  What stamina!  Any rules?
What?  Grannies can't play games?
I speak perfect Nooblik, (and some Simlish)!

This would be accumulative across the entire Sim 4 community right?

I'm sorry but the gnomes are not my favourite thing, I would love the 'snazzy hair styles' though  :D

The Sims twitter said they were calculating numbers, so we'll probably know before too much longer.

And the results are in...
(Source:  The Sims.com News)


Turns out, your Sims really like to WooHoo!

Last week we posed a challenge to the community: if you could reach a combined 4 million WooHoos in The Sims 4 over Valentine’s Day weekend, all owners of The Sims 4* would be given a new gnome in a patch in March. And if you reached a mind-blowing 5 million WooHoos, there’d be two new hairstyles included as well.

We’ve crunched the numbers, run the data, and found exactly how much WooHooing was done over the weekend.

So, how’d it all shake out? Your Sims WooHoo’d at an incredible pace, from Friday night, through the weekend and continuing into Monday. We tracked it all and here are the results:



Wow, that’s a lot of lovin’! And a lot of babies. Great work, Simmers! We hope you enjoyed the challenge, and we’re looking forward to giving everyone a new gnome (and two new hairstyles) in March.

I'm looking forward to seeing the new hairstyles, getting bored of what's available already.
