Thanks Reggie that was an interesting article. I am so happy that you are really looking forward to the new sims. I am standing back and in a "wait and see mode". been "bitten" too many times, getting really excited about new eps only to be let down. There only a couple of worlds of EA's that I somewhat enjoy the others are only installed because of the stuff. If money was not an issue maybe I would be a little more enthused. I hope Sims4 is everything you are looking for. :D Have to admit their demonstration sims do look good, and more emotions would be nice, but I want to wait and see. I can't see me ever wanting to let go of sims3 and all the lovely worlds and sims created by all my friends. Maybe I will buy the first ep just to join the sims4 forum just so I could follow all of you to a new "WE" thread. :D
