Actually I hope its FAKE. This game is already so brilliant and overwhelming with customising, but it could use more work. If they just make some expansion packs that REALLY expand the game with more options and stuff, or even graphical upgrades, that would be fine. I'm putting in too much work and time in Sims 2 and I don't want it to be all garbage by the time Sims 3 is out! lol. Besides, I already need to upgrade my PC to run this one smoothly. >.<
