If you head over to SimTimes.de, you’ll find a whole list of free items that are available right now from The Sims 3 Store.
But if you’re like me, you haven’t updated your Sims game in a coon’s age and before you can use the items in your game, the website is going to force you to update your game.
So, if you’re one of those people who never updates their game then these are not items that you’re going to want to install.
Right now, the patch is 21% downloaded and I know for a fact that AwesomeMod isn’t going to work …read more

I had planned on pre-ordering World Adventures and just never got around to it.

Just like every expansion that Maxis releases, FreeTime is getting a handy dandy patch.
Now, I must admit that I haven’t run into any MAJOR problems with FreeTime, but I haven’t had the opportunity to dedicate hours upon hours of time to the game either. After reading the “fixes” list, I’ve been rather inspired to play the game just so I can find some of these problems.
Really abbreviated list of problems that are resolved with patch:
“Neon Flamingo” is no longer missing from Buy Mode – Because everyone needs a Neon Flamingo.
Sims will no longer gain fishing skill points while digging …read more
