Hi everyone,

Thought I would check in with you all, say hello, and let you know how things were going this week at Maxis.

Makin' Magic went Beta this week (tiring...), and a few of our best and brightest SimCity community webmasters came to Maxis to see and actually play Rush Hour. We had a great time with them. Hopefully, we will soon be able to get most of you to Maxis to see and play The Sims 2.

Below are answers to questions that I have received from you in the last few weeks. I hope these will clarify your concerns:

Have you seen The Sims 2 trailer? Now you can see it at Yahoo.com!
