The Sims Authority (TSA) was one of the first unions created to focus primarily on The Sims franchise. In fact, soon after creation all Maxis (EA) simulation games were adopted as discussed games and continues to be so. TSA has two primary goals. First, to provide all Sims fans with a trusted *Authority* that strives to supply all fans with a tried and true source of information . Secondly, members are encouraged to participate when their time allows and are never forced to meet a posting quota. For we all know that when we're not visiting TSA, we're playing The Sims!

Latest Updates

TSA Under Construction

In an attempt to learn some better HTML coding and update the union with new images, the TSA will be undergoing some construction. More details in the message area, but in short, please excuse the mess I create.

100 Members Strong!

Congratulations everyone. We, The Sims Authority, have reached 100 members! We may not grow as fast as some others communities out there, but this only further insures that our union will be vibrant for times to come. A big thanks to everyone, and a special thanks to Tclvis the Corolla Girl, Smadiso the New Steven Spielberg, and Compilation, for he is our 100th member! I believe the saying goes "quality over quantity", which of course comes from the rebuke of students when they are told to write a 10 page paper . Darn, I wish I didn't use that cupcake picture, now I'm really craving some, badly. I mean an insatiable urge, MUST HAVE CUPCAKE......no...must....fight...it...but they look so cute and yummy.

*The Home Interior & Exterior Design Contest is still on the back burner, I haven't forgotten about. We just need to know how many will participate, how it will be organized, and when it will begin and end. If you win in certain categories you will get litte awards to place in your sig and boasting rights. So that's something to look forward to.

FreeTime Update and Pre-Order Bonuses
GameSpot has just recently updated "FreeTime" with 15 new screenshots. So if you have the chance, check them out, they really got me excited about FreeTime. Also, for those of you who are so anxious about the EP that you fell out of you chair, there is good news. Beside me saving boatloads of money by switching to GEICO,select retailers are offering bonuses for pre-orders. EB Games is including a downloadable bonus "Get Fit Kit" while supplies last....if it is downloadable why will EB have a shortage . Now I can only guess as to what the "Get Fit Kit" is, maybe different body tones, which if it is, it should have been included in the game to begin with. It could also be more fitness equipment, who knows. I wish they had a better discription for once. In addition, the EA store is offering a ballerina poster (lame) and Walmart is including a modelshelf.
