I am Linda (lindawing) from Neighborly Sims (ask Sugah how to get there, since I can't post links yet).
I've been Simming since the inception of TS1, having purchased it for my youngest daughter, whom I was homeschooling at the time. I soon became more addicted than she was, and the rest is history. Still loving the game, with all its many changes throughout the years.
I always say I love it because I have a standing love for dollhouses. The Sims are the ultimate way for even us "mature" adults to still play with a dollhouse!
I may not be over here much, but I'll try to check in once in a while. I keep pretty busy with Simming, building new TS3 (and still the occasional TS2) worlds, running the Neighborly Sims forum, and (shhh...don't tell) also playing WoW (yes, girls DO play Wow...well, at least 62-year-old grandmas do!).
