Hi I'm Chrissie, an almost 60 year old. I've been playing Sims since the first edition and, like many others am rather addicted. I live in the south-west of England and have three grown-up children, all of whom play Sims in various incarnations, and one very new grand-daughter (who will probably play in the future if Granny has any influence!). I came here via a well-known search engine while looking for a guide to my recently bought Sims3 game and this is the most helpful and detailed site I have found, so thank you Carl, Pam and everyone for all the info I have found and made good use of.
