Sims, Sims, Sims...

There's a new free set over in the Sims 3 Store called Fashionable Fitness Set that has 11 items in it.  There are two new hairstyles for adult female sims in it, and that's all I really play with anyway.  So I installed that into my game and looked at it yesterday but then ended up not really doing anything but puttering around in CAS while I listened to my latest audio book again.  

That actually is what I like best about Sims 3 anyway... I can just mess around building lots or recoloring clothing for hours.  I do actually play too; but I'd say 50% of the time I just recolor or build.

Here's a pic of my latest recolors in my July color pallet, the sim in the middle has one of the hairstyles from the Fashionable Fitness Set.  I like it, I think it's pretty cute.

As always the recolors are here if you want them.

Oh, and if you somehow missed it SimsVIP had an article up about the Sims 2 Complete Collection being offered free for something like a week to anyone who wants it.  Here's a link to that post that had all the details in it.

The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

Well, It seems that The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection is already in my Origin account.  I haven't played Sims 2 in a long time.  Thought I would go ahead and start an install on it.  You need about 13 gigs of free space to install it, I forgot the exact amount.  I see that they also put a faq up.  According to Origin; The Ultimate Collection includes The Sims 2, as well as every single The Sims 2 expansion pack and stuff pack.  This would be great news for me as I lost half of my Sims 2 games one of the times I moved.

Oh here's a link to the Origin Fac:

No news yet on if this is going to be a for sell item on Origin or not.  I know a lot of people are wanting it.  I would think it would be, but who knows with EA...

The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection

Another e-mail from origin came today.  This one for The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, that I am apparently getting for free, whatever the Hello Kitty it is, because googling it yields no pertinent results

The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection is yours for free! If you are having trouble viewing this email, please click here.
