This is an excellent site and us simmers are greateful to Jud and his crew, as we can get all the Sims news in one place. It is interesting from day to day to see all the new things EA brings to us. Although I am in the PC Sims games, I would like to see Sims 3 for PS3, but not the base game idea, much more in the Late Night genre. Thank you Jud for the great work you are doing for us simmers.
You are very much welcome 🙂
