About Fanlistings

A fanlisting is simply an online list of fans of a subject, such as a TV show, actor, or musician, that is created by an individual and open for fans from around the world to join. There are no costs, and the only requirements to join a fanlisting are your name and country. Fanlistings do not have to be large sites (although some are), they are just a place where you can sign up with other fans.

About The Sims 2

The Sims 2 is a strategy/simulation computer game from Maxis and is the sequel to the popular game The Sims. It is fully 3D, and, unlike in the first installment, characters age and have genetic traits that can be passed on to their children. The game was officially released on September 17, 2004 in both CD-ROM and DVD-ROM formats. It is highly addictive. ;-)

About the Legacy Challenge

The Legacy Challenge is not an "official" Maxis-made challenge, but a user-created challenge meant to stimulate different types of game-play. Created by Pinstar, the object is to take a single CAS (Create-a-Sim) sim and use him/her to raise family to ten generations without the use of cheats or hacks. Like the game which spawned it, the Legacy Challenge is also highly addictive. ;-)
