They're Singing Our Song
New York City-based band Electric Funstuff today released Sim-Hilarities, a song by a player of The Sims™ finding odd parallels between his life and the lives of his Sims. Sound familiar? You can download it from Beatz 4 Geekz (www.b4g.com), a Web site devoted to music for technophiles and gamers. Warning: it just might get stuck in your head!

About the Jukebox Object
Some users have noted that the jukebox game object we're giving away is already in The Sims Livin' Large. Here's why.

In the expansion, we included all the web-downloadable objects: the guinea pig, the topiaries -- everything. We had always planned to release the jukebox as a downloadable game object; you can tell because it appears in the downloads folder of Livin' Large (unlike, say, Servo). The intent was to release the jukebox first, then release Livin' Large, but we got ahead of ourselves in our excitement to get the expansion disk to you early. Essentially, Livin' Large users got the jukebox ahead of time.

As it turned out, the jukebox in the expansion disk had a small bug (in the "join" option for dancing), so our slip up in release timing actually gave us a chance to fix things. Download it and enjoy!
