Hi,
I'm new to the forum and find it very helpful. I was watching my daughter and her firends playing the Sims and got hooked, to the point we argued about whose turn it was for the computer, so we bought her a computer for her birthday. She has since moved on to other things.
However, I play the Sims a lot since I'm an American living in France and am still struggling with the language and was put on early retirement due to corporate downsizing.
