Ever have one of those parties where everyone on the planet shows up? We're having the website equivalent right now. The response to TheSims.com has been overwhelming - literally! We're working on increasing our capacity, but until that's done, there will be some brief outages from time to time while we give our servers a chance to catch up. We won't have more than 10 of these outages any given day, and each one only lasts 5-10 minutes. So if the site appears to be down, don't panic, just try back in a few minutes. Thanks!
