Hello!! Just wanted to introduce myself -- thanks for having a thread just for this!
I've been playing the Sims since whenever the original game came out. Goodness, that was a long time ago. I'm a big fan of the franchise, despite the frustration and heartbreak caused by the innumerable bugs we've faced over the years.
I've been using this site for some time to find fixes and work-arounds for the issues I've had with Sims 3 and found it to be extraordinarily helpful. Now my main family has contracted the dreaded "travel bug", so I finally had an excuse to become an official member of the forum and post something.
After reading through all the rules, I'd like to thank Carl and Pam not only for their assistance and moderation (you guys are great technical writers), but also for setting such a high standard for their site. Once I read a correct usage of "whom" in the forum rules, I knew this was the place for me! I can't imagine how hard it is to police a site like this, but Carl and Pam and the other administrators have done an excellent job.
Thanks!
