Hello everyone:Let me start off by saying that I was thrilled by all of your responses to my first email. It was great to hear from all of you on an individual basis and realize that you are all as excited about The Sims 2 as we are here at Maxis.

As I promised, I want to share with you as much information about the game as possible leading up to launch. It is also important to me that we provide you, our community leaders, with exclusive information whenever possible. So in that spirit, have I got something for you!

Be the first to see these new Makin' Magic characters and objects! Marvel at the flamingo who becomes a sexy hostess! Experience new kids-only magical items! See if you can spot the invisible friend!

Abracadabra!
