In this episode, the town mourns beloved jazz musician W.C. Friendly , whose late-night saxophone performances at Travelin’ Joe’s Espresso Bar once echoed through SimsVille’s streets. Jeffery also shines a spotlight on S.I.M.G.M. Productions , creators of hilarious Sims-based movie parodies, before heading to The Gutter Club Bowling Alley to catch up with Betty Newbie about her writing career—and a few curious phone calls.
