	<htmltext>I have seen the "Demo" out there and let me just say it is NOT worth the money they are charging.  It is obvious that a lot of stuff was taken out of the game to be nickled and dimed to the public.  If you buy it, you are getting ripped off big time, I suggest holding off a few years until they released a sims3 complete package for 20 dollars.</htmltext>
