I just had to re-install The Sims Online onto a new machine and discovered the procedure changed slightly from the last time.
Simply visit https://ea-land.ea.com/register/freetrial.php and at the bottom you’ll see the DOWNLOAD option.. you don’t even have to log in at that point. Also, if you have a slow connection… it’s a HUGE download.. for $5 (U.S. via Paypal) they’ll send it to you on DVD. Sweet!
Now we all hold our breaths for the merge to happen and to see what will eventually happen with their graphics upgrade. Out of three machines, only one of mine has been able to launch “Test Center 3 - Test” without error, and even then performance was poor.
December officially marked the year where Dodge turned 5 years old. Yes he started playing in Beta and has been playing TSO since then. His skill house Newbies has been on the Map in Mount Fuji forever, and any new player coming to Mount Fuji one way or another had the pleasure of skilling there. It is an Institution that has survived Mount Fuji’s up’s and down’s and will continue to be a big part in the upcoming merge.So in honor of Dodge’s 5 year survival, Mana threw a fantastic Surprise Party on the 30th at her skill lot. Dodge was able to attend, with the help of some of his roomies that wheeled him there . Mana did a great job and was a excellent Hostess. Even though the plan of all sims hiding under the Balloons caused a great deal of chaos and Dodge arrived during the hiding process lot’s of fun was to be had. We had live entertainment with the help of DJDaw over at Dragonwings radio. And even though Dodge was surrounded by a lot of woman that wished him well he still was able to make a few wheelies in his Wheelchair out on the street.
December 31st brought on another Party at Newbies. Garth had the time of his life ringing in the New Year and did a great job with the prizes give-away. Mal and Brooke did wonderful being great Hostesses and making sure all Sims where drinking , eating and be merry. Once again Dragonwings Radio was on hand to help us celebrate, and Daw did a great job even though her voice was slowely leaving her. Hope you feel better Daw :) Hugs where plenty at midnight. And even though we had several time zones present, Mount Fuji residents didnt mind celebrating it over and over again. Since we all know we love parties in Mount Fuji.
So when you come to Mount Fuji, be prepared to meet the oldest living Sim there and to have a good time, because I know I did.
