Just realized the Sims 2 website had a mini make-over. I could now right-click the links on their header. About time! I never really liked the old flash header... loads slowly to begin with.
I have yet to upgrade my PC and buy the following:
1. Bon Voyage Expansion Pack
2. Free Time Expansion Pack
3. H&M Fashion Stuff Pack
4. Teen Style Stuff Pack, and
5. Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff Pack
The latter has yet to come out.
But before I buy all that, I need the latest generation PC.
And now Sims 3 is to officially come out in 2009.
Which means, I have yet to get full play time from my Sims 2 and it's already old.
Sigh!
I may have to find out the recommended (not the minimum) specs of the new game, but the website for Sims 3 is currently unavailable. Too much traffic? I need the specs just in case I do decide to transition to the next generation Sims game.
Which could be a futile effort. When I bought this PC, it was way above the recommended specs for the Sims 2 game and the first 3 expansion packs. Now it could barely run Seasons 2, much less the succeeding EPs.
Someone on the Sims 2 forum said it right ... I'd need one of those high tech computers from NASA just to run Sims 2, or the next generation.
A friend even switched back to the original Sims since Sims 2 takes too much space, and more importantly, memory, on her PC.

Speaking of Llamas...
Just realized there's something different on my Sim Page profile...
Community Rank: Professor of Llamology
That made me laugh... especially since it is a fact that any picture or mention of Llamas automatically makes me think of the "Sims".
By the way, I find it amusing that the character Carl from the animated Nickelodeon show Jimmy Neutron lists "Llamapalooza" as his favorite video game.

The Sims Onstage Beta
EA has finally jumped on the social networking site bandwagon by launching the simsonstage.ea.com site. Ofcourse I signed up!!! :-)
They just realized that simmers are a ready made community/social network that just needs transposing to an official networking site... that allows others to join - without having to register a bought game. Ha ha ha!
Fact is, the sims/sims2 sites are already social networking sites ... what with the exchange, the commenting on blogs, the BBS - same stuff you find on other sites.
SimsOnStage is actually a fun site ... I just started looking around and enjoyed the karaoke page ... EA has a list of music you can sing to, complete with lyrics scrolling across the screen. If you think you're good enough or just in it for fun, you can record yourself singing to the song and post it so others can view your clip and rate you. Lovely, eh?
