This is our new criminal RH in the Isla Paradiso world! It’s tucked away on a little island, hidden from other Sims!

The Sims 3 Live Broadcast will begin tomorrow, 5/23/13, @ 10am Pacific! As usual, we will host the live event right here on SimsVIP, and have a replay available for those who miss it.
Our next The Sims Live Broadcast will be held on May 23rd at 10:00 AM PDT/1:00 PM EDT.
Tune in to The Sims Live Broadcast on May 23rd at 10am PDT to watch an in-depth walkthrough of The Sims 3 Dragon Valley and get introduced to a few members of The Sims 4 development team!
If you’re on Twitter, use #TheSimsLB Hashtag and ask your questions!
We hope you can watch and Tweet with us during the show using the hashtag #TheSimsLB.
*Update* - We have the creator! Let’s give a round of applause to palmtreecod for having their box art featured on a national retailer. *claps claps*
How many hard core fans simmers out there can say that their “fan made” box art made it onto a national retailer’s listing as an official asset? As of right now, at least one!
NewEgg.com has posted a fan-made box art for The Sims 3 Island Paradise listing. Someone out there has managed to get their work displayed as an official asset on a national retailer, and I would like to know who it is so I can congratulate them. ![]()
As much as I ♥ NewEgg, this is unacceptable for such a reputable company. They even included the Sims 3 University Life Limited Edition Content as an official asset! C’mon NewEgg, even SimGuruGraham #FacePalm-ed!
#facepalm RT @simsvip I can’t believe @newegg is using a FAN-MADE box art ;P newegg.com/Product/Produc…
