Rumours are currently spreading about Simlish becoming an official language soon. In France, to be precise. Due to the huge popularity of the Sims games in France, the French parliament will take a vote tomorrow to make Simlish an official language of the country.

Opponents say that French should be the single official language in France, like it has always been.

The boxshot for The Sims 3 Ambitions Expansion Pack has been announced!

How time flies! It doesn't seem that long ago that I started my bilingual fansite SNW. SNW is 6 years old today! I know things are quiet at the moment. I've got good reasons for that. All I can say right now that we will launch a brand new shiny website in 2010 with awesome features. And I will get back into the custom content making (and uploading it too!) hahaha. Anyway, congrats to SNW. We would never have come this far without our lovely members. So thanks goes out to all of you!
