Well I hope everyone who still plays TS2 is still in the "Christmas spirit", for a while longer.  I would like everyone to know that I tried my hardest to get my Christmas walls done in enough time for Christmas.  I wasn't feeling well thanks to the cold weather & my ailing body; but I did manage to make a nice set of walls to help our Sims get into the mood despite the pain etc. of winter & the loopiness of the pain medications I take......but I have not been able to submit them however & so they've just been sitting here on my hard-drive ready to go for about a week or so now.  The sumissions area for TheSims2 is down at the moment with a note in red asking artists to please wait til this message goes away before submitting anything.  So maybe when their submissions area DOES open back up again (TS3's sumissions area is just fine) I'll submit them......or depending on how long this all takes perhaps it would be more appropriate to hold on to them til NEXT Christmas?  I would rather not play Sims at all then to play TS3 (my roomie has TS3 & I despise it) so I really REALLY hope that TSR isn't pushing away TS2 but if they do/are perhaps I'll just start up yet another e-mail account so that I can have an exlusive account just for sending out walls to those who do still paly TS2 & wants them.....guess we shall see what happens?
