User blog:Lost Labyrinth/The Sims Wiki News - 15th August 2013

 Hi and welcome to The Sims Wiki News *sobs* Funeral Edition... :'(

The Sims news

 * Our favourite and most beloved stuff pack of all time, The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats, is...GONE! I'm speechless. I really don't know what to say. We have suffered a great loss.
 * The Sims 3 Starter Pack is featured in the Origin Humble Bundle and you can get it by beating the average. Note that Origin's servers are pretty flaky at the moment. I'd advise, if you're interested in the games that come with them, to use the Steam keys for the time being (as their servers are a little stronger). TS3 is Origin-only here, so pick your poison but otherwise, a great deal.
 * 5 days until The Sims 4 is revealed at Gamescom!
 * Some possible leaked screenshots of TS4 have surfaced online.

Wiki news

 * The userbox for the July 2013 Project of the Month is now up for those who helped out. You can find this at User PotM July 2013.
 * Inobligatory community discussions links:
 * A discussion about handling the rumors page
 * We're still looking for consensus on the ambiguous gender discussion
 * It was decided that using the argument of "too many admins/bureaucrats" isn't a justifiable argument in an RfA/B as determined in this thread.

Poll of the week
As you may have noticed, I'm struggling to maintain my sanity over the loss of The Sims 3: Katy Perry's Sweet Treats. I figured in order to help myself come to terms with the loss of this inspirational content, I'd make a poll asking what you think of this.

What do you think of the "retirement" of KPST? I've been popping champagne bottles ever since I heard the news. That sucks. I hope this doesn't happen with other EPs/SPs too I couldn't care less I was planning on downloading that tomorrow I HATE YOU EA! YOU'VE RUINED MY LIFE WITH THIS!

*sobs* RIP KPST

Yeah I wanted a higher frame rate but I didn't want to download the video just to make this.

That's all for this week! Enjoy your Humble Bundles. I'll just go and seek therapy for my emotions. Laters. 09:23, August 15, 2013 (UTC)
