Hi, I'm Aqua, and after browsing through all of the guides and other fun stuff on this site, I decided to join. I'm loving it so far. The Sims 3 is my first experience with the franchise as well, other than some very firewalled SimCity in Computer class. My good friend introduced me to the game a couple of months ago. I plan on emailing her a link to it soon. Thanks to everyone for such a great site! This is probably the first forum I've been to with perfect grammar, spelling, and very helpful and kind members. Everyone's so nice
