Details

The Sims Daily mod brings back the nostalgia of Sims 3 with functional newspapers, stands, and a daily subscription service. Although paper newspapers may seem a thing of the past, this old school service is perfect for rags to riches game play since it is totally base game compatible (BGC) and works off the grid (OTG).

There are lots of interactions on the newspaper, BUT they are only available for the current issue. After 24 hours or when the next issue becomes available, the newspaper will expire and you will no longer be able to use it.
