I’m excited about the prospect of The Sims 3 which opens the door to the Sims neighborhood and allows them to interact as a community a little easier.

I love playing The Sims 2 but have been disappointed by a few things, like how hard it really is to tell the difference in body shapes as Sims get out of and in to shape, and also that it’s kind of a chore to set up all the different areas of the neighborhood and do things with them, like the downtown and the business communities and the universities. I have all the expansions, as I tend to put them on my gift lists and just bought Ikea Fun Stuff with a gift certificate I got for my birthday.

However 3 looks very interesting. They’ve actually just recently posted a video showing some of the features on the EA website and I was watching with anticipation this morning.

It’s not going to be out until next year, but maybe I’ll be able to get it for my birthday then

Well, off to run errands for me. We’re out of printer ink thanks to some liberal character sheet printing over the past few days, and I really need to print out a lot of stuff. I need to send my therapist the information about the Parity act, and I need to print out the rules and background info I’ve been writing out for the Space Age Savage Worlds game I’m running, although that’s not quite as urgent.

I also need to finish tidying up the house and clearing paths for furniture to be moved in and out tomorrow. I’d hoped we would be rid of our couch today. Someone said they were coming to get it yesterday but they never called back. Perhaps they will call today, yesterday was very dreary and rainy, it’s hard to move furniture when the weather is like that.
