Rules & Announcements

lauraplayssims: Sup! I'm going down a internet rabbit hole, and stumbled across this. Ah, good times

Hope all other former BBSers are doing well. Nov 25, 2022 7:44:06 GMT -5

Samantha: OOh I meant to say: what drew me back to this site was that I had a dream last night that I was playing TS4 (which I've never played before) and it looked EXACTLY like TS2 (of course) Jun 18, 2018 12:28:29 GMT -5

Samantha: then I worry that it's a rabbit hole. But I agree, Zoe. This place and TS2 will always have such a special place in my heart Jun 18, 2018 12:24:20 GMT -5
