Bop Tiger Beat – Win The Sims 3 Pets
Oct 23rd
Okay, I can’t say for sure which version of Pets it is – but I’d have to guess it is the Xbox 360 version as that is what picture they used. Also, no word on if it is limited to a certain region. Only bit of info I can share with you is that the contest ends on November 4th.
Have you ever played The Sims? It’s the game that let’s you create virtual people and do everything from help them choose a career to decorate their houses. Pretty fun, right? But have you ever been playing the game and thought, “You know what this could use? More furry fun.” Even if you hadn’t thought that before, are you kind of thinking it now? Sounds pretty great, huh? Trust us, it is! In the newest Sims game, The Sims 3: Pets, you not only get to incorporate animals into your game – you can even play as a family pet. Imagine, seeing life from your dog’s point of view!
Want to try the game for yourself? We have three copies to give away! To enter, leave a comment telling us about what animal you would LOVE to be for a day. The deadline to enter is Friday, Nov. 4 at NOON PT. Good luck!

It seems that this contest is the making of Cheezburger inc. and not that of EA. Although EA would fit perfectly in a scheme trying to monetize humour/humor in today’s culture.

Contest – Win a physical copy of The Sims 3 Town Life Stuff!
Aug 16th
And the winner of the contest is….
SamerTim with the Smiley Satellite Dish find! Awesome, I loved this one, I can see myself doing something of the like if I had thought of it! Runner up (sadly, no prize, but still very awesome) is Ctifler with the Charlie Chaplin Graffitti! SamerTime, I shall be emailing you for your information – congrats!
What’s this!? My cheap self is giving away a free copy of The Sims 3 Town Life Stuff!? What’s the world coming to, oh my! Since I was able to pick up Town Life Stuff for dirt cheap, I bought two copies – one for myself, and one to give away! Now that they came in, I can get this contest started! It’s going to be a good one too! Every sentence thus far ends in an exclamation point!
The Objective: To take a picture of something in your town or city that you find humorous. It can be a street sign, billboard, oddly shaped building, graffiti – anything, really – as long as it relates to ‘Life in the Town’.
The Rules: There is one main rule – you MUST have something Sims related in the picture so I know that you took it and didn’t hop onto Google and do an image search. See the pic below, you’ll notice I have the green plumbob hanging on my mirror. Anything Sims-related is acceptable. It can be a plumbob, your game, a manual, the CD, or even a piece of paper with SIMS written on it. I just need proof that you took the picture. You shall upload your picture to any available image hosting site and leave a link to it in the comments section of this post. There is no limit on how many times you may submit an entry. Everyone may enter, this is a physical copy, so I’ll ship the game wherever it needs to go.
Tattoos in Rear. Ouch, that’s gotta be painful! (Pic taken in my town of Huntsville, Al.)
End Date: We will be cutting this contest off sometime on Saturday, August 13th. That should give you plenty of time. We’ll judge on the best and most hilarious picture. Good luck!
Win Hidden Springs by entering ‘The Sims Hub’s’ competition!
Aug 10th
Our friends over at The Sims Hub is holding a very awesome competition in which the prize is a free gift of the upcoming world, ‘Hidden Springs’! Yep, as soon as it is released on August 25th, they’ll be gifting it to the lucky winner that wins their contest! How do you enter? Well, you can start by visiting their site, or read their rules below
So what does one have to do to win such a lavish prize? Well we want you to be creative. Hidden Springs is an awesome name in our opinion and the logo is great, so we want you to create in your favourite photo editing software (GIMP is free for those who want a good one) a “Welcome to Hidden Springs” signpost/postcard! That’s it. You can either go full out and create an entire postcard or simply just design a nice signpost that you might see when entering a new town. You don’t have to use the style set by EA in the Hidden Springs logo, but we’re perfectly ok with you doing so just as long as everything else is your own work. Once done, just simply upload the image to any image host (PhotoBucket, flickr, imgur etc) and post a link to it in a comment! Simples!
The Rules:
- Anyone can enter. As this is done purely online and requires no shipping or anything, anyone can enter
- You MUST have an account over at TheSims3.com
- You MUST own a copy of The Sims 3 on PC/Mac (obviously)
- Please put your TheSims3.com ID on the picture (somewhere non-obtrusive) AND in your comment. We’ll be needing this to confirm you created the image as well as for us to gift you the world once it’s released
- You have until 5pm BST on August 24th to enter (that’s 9am PST, 12pm PST, 6pm CET) . We’ll then go through the entries and pick our favourite one. We’ll then announce the winner on the 25th and gift them the world once it’s released
- If for whatever reason the world is not available via the Store, like Barnacle Bay now isn’t, we’ll purchase the world from a retailer and message the winner the code needed to redeem it
Please note – do NOT leave a comment here entering, we are not holding the contest, The Sims Hub is! Good luck to those that enter!
