<p>But I do appreciate your comments more than I like cookies. I really do. In fact, I'm kinda spoiled right now.&nbsp;I just don't know where I put my tiara. I may have left it in the cookie pit.</p>
<p>Anyway, I hope you are all enjoying your game! :D</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I must apologise to everyone who left me cool comments and never got any answer. Truth is, real life has taken me hostage and when I'm not doing boring stuff (not really that boring -&nbsp;work and friends do have its moments :D), I'm most likely daydreaming about Sims 3.</p>
<p>Anyway, I really can't wait for June 2009! :D</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It was brought to my attention that some people believe I'm being bribed, along with other FAs, into posting the EA's announcement on my blog.</p>
<p>If there were times when I was reluctant to share my opinion and see my words taken out of context and turned against me, now I realise that it will happen anyway, regardless of what I choose to say or not in my blog. And while I can only respect the decision of others who were also accused but prefer to keep silent, I for one refuse to shut up on this matter.</p>
<p>Is it so hard to believe that I want to share EA's announcement with everyone who is willing to read? After seeing my content shared against my wishes for months, why shouldn't I post EA's announcement on my blog?</p>
<p>I don't know what motivated others to do the same as I did, although quite honestly, I suspect they probably felt something similar to what I felt at the time. I wanted to share the news and I expressed it in my blog. That's it. I didn't disrespect anyone's views and I didn't attack anyone in my blog. I merely expressed what I felt was important to me.</p>
<p>For the record, I will continue to respect people who don't agree with my views, and I don't mind if they bash my work on other sites. What I find quite frustrating is to realise that my integrity and my honesty is being questioned and there's basically nothing I can do about it.</p>
<p>So, for the few people who care, I will continue to speak my mind freely here in my blog and no money in the world, no malicious statements on other sites can influence that decision. And if there ever comes a time where I am not allowed to do so and someone here at TSR tells me to shut up, I'll take that as a sign to leave this place.</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As some of you must have read already, the Sims team issued the following statement (bolding is mine):</p>
<p><em>The Sims
celebrates creativity, humor, and community. We strive to provide
players with tools that enable them to customize and personalize their
game experience. We are proud that so many of The Sims and The Sims 2
players create their own art for the games and share it with others.
Sharing art online is a hobby that involves an investment of time,
energy and money. Whether players choose to share their original
artistic creations with the community is up to them: some custom
content creators design work for a fee; some host their works on sites
that organize, store and serve an enormous amount of content for
subscribers; some artists request donations; and some artists allow all
players to download their creations for free. <strong>These artists set their
own terms for how they want to share their talents with the community
at large. Those terms should be respected by other players.</strong></em></p>

			<title>Create-a-style in Sims 3</title>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This was definitely my favourite feature in Sims 3<span style="color: black; background-color: #ff9999;"></span>.
Although this was explained several times before, I realised some
people are still a bit confused about how it works. So I made a sketch
from what I can remember while playing the game.</p>
<p><img src="http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a160/hadlespink/sims/create-a-style.jpg" border="0" width="641" height="600" /></p>
<p>When I say&nbsp;"objects", I mean furniture, walls, build items, clothes,
etc. Basically anything that is made with patterns can be customisable
using the create-a-style<strong style="color: black; background-color: #a0ffff;"></strong> feature. A player can spend hours just using this tool and making
unique stuff. And the best part is that they can make virtually
anything inside the game match! :D</p>
<p>I hope this sketch helped!</p>
<p>Ana</p>]]></content:encoded>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It's a bit late but I'm too excited to go to bed anyway, so I just thought I should post something here. English fails me on occasions like this, so I'll just make a list of everything I *really* need to say:</p>
<p>1- Arrived yesterday at Redwood City to attend the Sims 3 Creator's camp;</p>
<p>2- Ate a really nasty battered broccolli for dinner;</p>
<p>3- Met Hats, DOT, Steve, Padre, Tiffany and Ulker and&nbsp;other legendary folks;</p>
<p>4- Been abducted by aliens and thrown into the cookie pit;</p>
<p>5- Played the Sims 3 and loved every minute of it! :D</p>
<p>6- ...hmmm nope, this is pretty much it, really.</p>
<p>Happy simming everyone :)</p>
