Hello everyone.

Sorry to be late, Friday was really busy.

It has been an action-packed week here at Maxis and we have a lot of exciting information to share with you so let’s get started.

Work continues here at furious pace on the official The Sims 2 website. The new website will contain the latest and greatest information, along with a special section just for our community. As we near launch, we wanted to give you a sneak peek of the site in development. Here is a preview of the front page:

Hello everyone.

I’d like to start by apologizing to the few of you who asked me questions since the last email. We are all very busy here working on the Sims 2 and some of those questions are tough to answer quickly.

You are not being ignored, I just need a little more time!

Thank You to everyone that showed up at our SimCity chat event. Transcripts will be posted at SimCity.com. Check back next week for another chat event.
