Hi all! I've just joined today, my birthday! Yay! I am just LOVING the Immortal Dynasty Challenge, and think I may try my hand at that, but mostly, this whole site is just gold! My current main game's Sim has a nice house with a sunken garden, and then a very similar replica of the 'Building on a Slope' house from the tutorial in Shang Simla. I remember SimCity from way back on my high school boyfriend's 286, but Sims is mostly new to me. I got the game in March as a late Valentine's gift, but then headed back to the lower 48 for a few months of thawing out to visit family with the kids for summer. I've been at it (plus computer crashes, game crashes, failed sims attempts that I grew bored with, etc, etc) since I returned in August, and I'm in love.
I look forward to getting to know everyone!

Edited: Ok, correction. Yesterday was the b-day, but I was cruising the site after joining before I found this intro yourself thread.
