There will be no SimDay next week due to the fact that Maxis is moving to EA's Redwood City campus. However, SimDay will return the following Thursday, April 1st where we plan on providing a slew of truthful, honest information.

Begorra, lads and lassies! Dia Duit! 'Tis I, Luc O'Barthelet, General Manager and head leprechaun of Maxis, and if'n ye haven't guessed it already, we're gearing up for the good times of St. Patty's Day. Just as St. Patrick famously (if not accurately) drove the snakes from the Emerald Isle, we're hard at work driving the bugs from The Sims 2, all so that we can bring you the best, most fun, and completely addictive simulation game on the planet in exchange for a wee nip from your pot o' gold.

Hello Everybody:

Another busy week has passed at Maxis, and The Sims 2 Team continues their labor of love creating the game.

Many members of the team are incredibly passionate and dedicate far more than the average 40 hours a week sweating the details. I would like you to meet some of the people behind the game that are rarely in the limelight. I recently sat down with Lyndsay McGaw to get her thoughts on everything from playing games to making them.
