All pages will continue as is with the same local news coming from each country. Spoke to someone from Spain and they confirmed that locals will still handle all the news as usual. 🙂

I suspect that with the countless City Living leaks, they are doing all they can now to “plug” the leaks. I don’t find it strange at all that they are merging the fan sites. Way too much info has gotten out and you KNOW EA is pissed. This is one way they can “try” to keep a closer eye on what’s being promoted and what’s legit/what’s not. That’s the reason I think they merged them all. Could I be wrong?

Each country (the major ones at least) run their own pages from the offices in their country. Those pages still exist, it’s just that they are no longer “independent” pages. They are now part of The Sims official English page as well. Nothing has changed at all. You just have to change your language preference to view the other pages is all. 🙂

Yeah, I understand that part, thank you 🙂 I just mean, that I use the same Facebook “translator” talking to family and it really doesn’t work well at all. I’m afraid a lot will be lost if someone uses it for all the Sims info. Unless all posts will be properly translated by whoever is running the Maxis page.

Odd, in your screenshot I can see the option for Finland, but that option isn’t there when I try to change the region on the FB page…

Basically when you set a preference now, it will direct you only to that page instead of having multiple pages floating around. You can no longer go to only Germany for example unless you set that as your preference. You can switch to any region using the selector I talked about above.

Wow, that stinks for everyone who can’t understand English! Does this mean all those folks who translated have lost their jobs??
