Yep that is Sims 3. I have been a fan since the first version of Sims came out. I know what you mean, you can get totally sucked into the game. I haven't bought any of the expansion packs for Sims 3 yet, have you played any? Just wondering if they are worth buying. I might buy them this Spring when I have time to play them. I know if I get them now I will play them and slack on my school work.
I've been Simming since the original Sims as well. I have the Sims Late Night expansion and it's pretty good. There aren't nearly as many new romantic options as I was expecting though. I know in the previous night life-ish expansions, there were a lot of new romance options. However, you are given the option to live in a high rise and I think that is pretty cool. My friend also recently let me borrow her World Adventures expansion but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet. Honestly I'm not really a fan of going on vacation in the Sims world. I know in the first 2 games, whenever they would go on vacation, they would always come back with red bars for almost everything. Somehow, vacation just put them in an even worse mood!
I'm thinking from your answer you have some inside information though......
Well she definitely needed insider info for the princess ears but the regular Minnie ears are right in the middle of the photo. 
Anybody want to go to Japan with me? I make a great travel companion! 
Maybe if Erich and this guy stay friends it will encourage Erich to go visit Japan. 
I think that all the time, about all three of us.
