So you know I've always envied you PC people those last two EPs and SPs. I've especially always wanted AL--(witches, yay!) And up till last December, I was still holding out the hope that EA might bring them out for Mac. But frankly, if they cared about a "dead" game, they would have fixed the Sims 2 Exchange by now, right?
The good thing about Sims 3 is that lots of people decided to uninstall Sims 2 and sell their used games on EBay. And with Bootcamp, I can create a Windows partition. The guy I talked to at the Mac Store said it was easy, and since he goes to my school, he also assured me that getting a copy of Windows through them would be cheap.
I just got used copies of the base game, all eight EPs, five SPs (Family Fun Stuff, Glamor Life Stuff, Celebration Stuff, H & M Fashion and Teen Style Stuff, plus a bunch of Prima Guides (whatever) and Sims Life Stories, for under a hundred dollars, including shipping.
I probably won't be installing it right away, because I'll need to buy Windows and install that first. And I'll still be playing my Legacy on Mac, since I have everything there and Generation Nine is born. But after that, I can play with the premades and maybe the Megahoods. Because there's still plenty with the Sims 2 that I haven't done and still want to do. And once I've figured out how to download stuff on Mac and migrate it to PC, who knows what I'll do?

Do you think you'll continue writing after your legacy? Maybe not another whole legacy, but lots of people share bits of their neighborhood stories.
I'd really like to play--I mean, PLAY--Veronaville again, once the Legacy's done. And with AL, I really could have witches.
Sigh. You know, if they were SMART, they would work out ways this could be done with their permission: a game exchange, like the way you can buy used books, demos like shareware--maybe I'm naive, but I think most people really want to do the right thing.
I've actually got an Apple Card gift certificate from Christmas that I haven't used yet. Of course, I can't use it for PC Sims 2 games or Windows. At one point I was thinking about using it for Sims 3, but I dunno. Maybe I'll get some voice recognition software and try to work out something so I can spare my wrists.
