official site, are five buddy icons that you can use in your IM program to show your friends you're a Sims 2 fan waiting for the fifth expansion pack. Finally the MySim icon has been found by Gugas1990 on the
BBS. This icon will appear on your MySim page after installing and registering the expansion pack. You can find all the graphics below. Click the artwork thumbnail to see a large versions, and right-click the other icons to save them.

Over the years several people have had the chance to be community manager at EA's Sims Division, or Maxis for that matter, communicating to fans and fan sites (including this one) of the Sims games. In
June it was announced MaxoidMel took the position. She has now announced she's stepping down as community manager to move towards the audio department of EA, since her degree and background are in that field. There she'll be working as an audio specialist for the Sims 2 expansion pack team. She'll be "
the person that helps the game design and animation folks figure out what audio can go where and then places it in the game, after the sound designers make it. Nerdy fun." Since she's still with the Sims Division she'll keep her official site's
profile and stick to blogging when she can. As of Friday, until a new community manager is hired MaxoidGoonter will do Mel's old job, while MaxoidDano and MaxoidDrea will still be on the official BBS too. From here we wish Mel good luck and all the best in her new position. See MaxoidMel's
announcement for details and discussions.
