Sims 3 Real Estate — A Memorial Tribute
Dec 20th
The following announcement is brought to you by Carrie from PsychedelicSiM Designs
The Sims 3 Real Estate website is no longer being maintained. All of Wendy’s (Hillcrest’s) (hillcrest1414′s) creations for TS2 and TS3 have been gathered and placed at the Neighborly Sims forum–HERE (for TS3 creations) and HERE (for TS2 creations). This has been done at Wendy’s request, relayed to us by her husband Tony. Wendy passed away on December 8, 2011, after several months of battling brain cancer.
Though Wendy’s site is no longer operating as a download center, you may visit the Sims 3 Real Estate website, while it’s still in existence (until the end of January 2012), to see a collage and memorial to Wendy’s wonderful creations. After a few minutes, you will be redirected to Neighborly Sims.

Want to Buy (WTB) – The Sims 2 Holiday Party Pack
Oct 30th
Update 10/30/11 – This finally came in the mail Friday, awesome, I finally found a copy!
Hadn’t done one of these in awhile. I’ve been searching on Ebay/Amazon for this special version of The Sims 2 Holiday Party Pack for some time, and haven’t had any luck locating it. It’s not the standard ‘Happy Holiday Stuff Pack‘ that we are mostly familiar with…instead, this version came in a cardboard sleeve and titled ‘The Sims 2 Holiday Party Pack‘.
If anyone has a copy of the game – still intact in it’s original cardboard sleeve and would like to sell it, please reach me at judhudson@knology.net :) I’m looking for the North American version, Thanks!
Thanks to SimsVIP for sharing the pics with me.
GameSpot – Classic Sim video reviews
Oct 18th
GameSpot has been uploading their older video reviews to YouTube, and Chry was kind enough to let me know there are videos for The Sims, Unleashed, Vacation, Sims 2, Nightlife, University, Online, and The Urbz (with such an overly-excited reviewer…). Check them all out and you’ll soon tell yourself “Holy cow, I feel OLD”

Thanks to SimsVIP for the reminder.
The status of TheSims2.com
Jul 25th
It’s been unknown for awhile what happened to the official Sims 2 Site. For many weeks, it has been broken and presumed to have closed. However, iSims tweeted about the link earlier this morning and it now has the following notice:
Hi All,
The maintenance we had planned for the site is taking a little longer than anticipated. We estimate that it will be down for more than a week longer and will update you when we know more. We apologize for the inconvenience,
The Sims Team
Hopefully it’ll be back. I know many fans still use and play TS2 – it’s still active in terms of usage, I wouldn’t mind if it stays up for a few more years until The Sims 4 comes around before it’s gone for good. (Well, actually I don’t want to see it gone at all, but in hand of EA, it won’t be around forever)
