Which is going to be a while. This computer is still working well for me. I intend to collect EP's. My computer is 1.83Ghtz, I think it can handle it (Sims3 wants 2gigs or better to run optimally).

I wasn't impressed with the Sims3. I like to play God and build my own neighborhoods based on themes. I've done a neighborhood full of sim neanderthals. And I have another neighborhood that each family is a different sort of monster. Elves, Aliens, Humans, Mermaids --more will be added as I install EP's. And I've heard this harder to do in Sims3. Although I wouldn't mind them all aging at the same time, playing each house is a little time consuming. Someday in the distant future I may get Sims3 if their Eps address these misgivings.
