Official Service Awards

Official Service Awards

Perhaps one of the coolest of the new features in the third series and one that we hear will be expanded with the new content patches is the Official Service Awards -- a form of tangible and meaningful recognition granted by the City/Town to your Sims to recognize the important services and sacrifice that they have made for its citizens and for the community.

Many of the sacrifices that your Sims will make are real sacrifices, but they are strong in honor and pure in heart, so being recognized for those special deeds will not go to their head, and it will provide them with a special object that visually honors their service that they can place on the wall of honor in the good old ancestral home and, decades later their young great-great-grandchildren can look upon it with pride and a desire to serve just like grandma/grandpa!

These awards take the following forms:

-- Award Ribbons --
These colorful somewhat impressive ribbons are a symbol of a job well done and show that to all who stand and view them on your walls!  The Award Ribbons are granted to Sims who have completed the following missions/accomplishments:
