Yes finally some of our Simmies have made it through the merge. The last Sims standing in MF have merged and it is wonderful to see them all.

It also has been a hoot so far, trying to figure out who is who in Ealand …some make it easy and some make it hard to figure out. And then there are the ones that are just very confused *cough*Paul*cough*, and wonder who they are talking too…LOL. Our bookmark list is going to be full in no time if it hasn’t filled up already.

Is everyone having fun? I know some have a hard time adjusting to the new surroundings and truly set in their ways…but they are coming around..heck I even caught Dodge out of his wheelchair at a Pizza place last night, please people we all know how hard that is. So mark the calendars red and declare the day a holiday..lol. And the funny thing is, no Malika to wheel him around..so I am thinking he just likes the wheelies far to much she is doing with him..lol. Just wonder if he wore shoes, otherwise poor Malika will be back to mending those darn white socks of his.

I saw Genesis last night , so we can remove the Missing in action signs of the trees. She enjoyed Florida way to much and I betcha she is sporting a tan.

Oh and there is a guy running around with tweezers…he claims to be looking for Cows..well a certain one. So everyone beware of him, and if he does try to rope you in..just mention pink tutu…that should get him to stop…LOL. BTW..he belongs to Gen…so if you can hang him up on a chandelier..she will gladly light him up…LOL.

Have not seen a trail of cheetos yet..yes Rock is somewhere out there but is making sure we can’t get to him to steal his cheetos. I will find him, all I need is a crumb…

Wen is there with her multiple personalities..LOL…I am waiting for her to start answering herself when she speaks….someone get a padded cell ready….preferably with a Pizza oven.

Okay everyone have fun, so far I am. And maybe sometime soon we can throw a party in the ole Mount Fuji to show everyone how we do it there.

Since it seems that we are all in a holding pattern, and doing things to make our Simmies life a little easier once the merge has happened, here is a great piece of advice that I got from Robin last night that I would like to post here.

We all are in the mode of replacing things that are bound to break soon or have a great amount of wear on them.  According to Robin, it would be a great idea if you take your things and trade them to other Simmies with crafting skills for a new item.  They are apt to get more salvagables out of it, and perhaps you might even get something they craft from them.

Right now you have a lot of Sims that are crafting and are always in need of worn items. And they certainly would appreciate your kindness.

EA Land - Test Centers - Real Money - and Crap

I was totally shocked the other night to come across an old time player in Interhogen that had no idea what was going on with the future of TSO. So, just as an additional method of spreading the news.. here’s a link to a great FAQ on the merge that consolodates evertying quite nicely and from a reliable source.

Once you go through the official accounting of what will be happening, I’d love to hear what if anything , you are doing in preperation for this merge?

Since we will not be bringing our money with us, it seems the hardest thing to do in EA Land to get started is creating a lot.  So I have made sure that all my homeless sims now have their own lots that serve some sort of  function that will benefit my little simmy family, like a skill lot that will let my own sims achieve their goals and a store lot that will hopefully allow me to sell wholesale to my friends and family. 

I imagine many have already thought of this strategy and once the merge starts falling into place, we’ll see an overabundance of general skill and money lots.  So if you’re ultimate goal is to run the busiest and most popular lot you may want to think of what niche you want to specialize in.

 I’d really love to hear your thoughts.

And PLEASE - I know this is a very sensitive topic and many of you (including myself) have some very strong opinions.  Let’s leave the complaining over on the stratics board and here we can just deal with it as just something we’re going to have to live with.    If you’re of the mindset to get all upset and threaten vocally to leave the game, please.. just leave.. don’t let it hit you on the way out.
