For our visitors that love competitions and challenges, take a look at Carl’s Sims 3 Guides 2011 Challenge Tournament. Their tournament spans 13 challenges, from January to November.

The scoring component is 65% wins and 35% participation, meaning competing in more events can raise your score.

Advent calendars from Sim fansites
Dec 23rd
Running a fansite is a time-consuming job, but its well worth it! As much as I try to be active in the community, I just don’t have that much time to dedicate to the virtual life, like I used to. Still, if something comes my way I like to have a look and help promote it if it is worthy. For the past month, a few fan-sites in the community have been working on putting together their own Advent Calendars – where their readers/fans can download their creations every day. It’s a very good idea, I hope one day in the future I too could join in on the fun. Take a look at these fan-sites calendars – and enjoy!
