A couple of new terms:

CAH -- Create a Household. If you have Pets, this replaces CAS and CAP (Create a Sim and Create a Pet)

occult -- an alternate life-form -- ghost, mummy, Simbot, vampire, imaginary friend, or unicorn.

I'm not sure if the glossary is still being updated, but I have a couple of suggestions:

HS - Hidden Springs downloadable world from the Store.

UC - Union Cove downloadable world exclusive to the forum.

Welcome to our Forum, macphile.

I don't know what AFAIK means, but it's an abbreviation we don't use here.  Would you mind spelling it out?

It looks like this list has been updated a lot since I published it. I have moved it to general, where it will be more visible to people on the forum :)

The other worlds that are missing from the list are Appaloosa Plains (AP) and Starlight Shores (SS).

It's the world that came with Showtime. Here's the Sims 3 Wiki page about it.  :)

Haha!! Had to laugh - What a handy abbreviation. :P

Anyway, it doesn't have 'Stuff Pack' on the end of the title, does it? Maybe it should just be 'KPST'? ;)

Looking at other Stuff Pack abbreviations, you could take off the "SP" part. KPST!

Also another common among me:

IMO isn't a sims term though. Unless you want to use at like "In Morgana (Wolff's) Oven" but not sure what that would be implying other than a Handel and gretel kinda of game ;)

"Oven" can be a slang for a woman being pregnant. AKA "Bun in the Oven". That makes sense, since Morgana wants children.  ;)
