Did you get it? The Sims 2 Pets Expansion pack was released Tuesday, October 17. I�ve been anxiously awaiting this pack as I think it will be the best yet. Rather than waste gas driving to the store, I hopped on the EA Downloader and grabbed my copy via digital download.

The desktop may be the final place for my Sims after all. I played part of the weekend on the laptop and it wasn’t as clear as the flat screen monitor. I guess I’m spoiled now. The laptop also gets very hot, which makes it uncomfortable after awhile. Even with the chillpad and a towel, I can only stand an hour or two at a time.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have these aspiration changing orbs on a good many of my lots. Using the boolprop makes me nervous, but that’s been the only way I could play up until now. Of course, I’m taking their word it’s fixed - I haven’t played the game since installing the patch.
