question for myy research

Hi,

My name is Maaike Lauwaert and I'm a PhD student in The Netherlands. I
am currently doing research on the Sims and SimCity. I wanted to ask
this group - and I hope you don't mind this! - whether you think
the option of adding your sims from the sims into simcity is something
players like. I thought the whole my sim level was a bit meager. It
just provided me with another feedback system but it didn't add
anything profound to the game play. Or am I missing something?

Thanks a lot in advance and hoping to hear from you!

Originally, I liked the fact that I could put *my* sims from TS1 into SC4,
and the fact that they gave you ocational tips on what to do. Now that I no
longer have TS1 on my PC, as I play TS2, I don't use that feature any more,
as they are not my sims, and I just dont bother adding them, but I think
that it would be a good feature to include and develop on for SC5 (with TS2
or 3).
