I've had the demo for awhile now and have made many sims for my library. (I would love to see their smiling faces as townies in Willow Creek.)
I found, in my case, that there's definitely a learning curve to making sims there.
My biggest disappointment was probably the omission of CAS. But I regrouped and am looking forward to the gameplay which I think from the videos I've seen, is going to be a hoot. (I love Pancake Bob and It's Amber.)
I just can't wait until Sept. 2.
Congrats to Dellana for your sim being used in the guide. How exciting!
