I’m concentrating on college at the moment, but having my own character in the game will allow me to continue travelling and adventuring, even if only in a virtual world.”
Leuk gedaan. Daar was dus die poll voor op de amerikaanse community. Nu nog een mogelijk om te kunnen zeilen en dan is het helemaal compleet 😀
Wel goed nagemaakt.
Misschien was dat de reden dat dat NL meisje perse alleen de wereld over wilde zeilen: die wilde ook in Sims 3 komen? 😛
