SimDay: Makin' Mischief / No 3D [Update]
This SimDay is a little small. However, there's big news about an eighth expansion pack for The Sims. Makin' Mischief will add more fun to the Sims 1:
"In the game, players try to play pranks on other Sims. Previous versions of the Sims have all involved managing your Sims in a way that keeps them happy and healthy, but Makin' Mischief turns this game-play on it's head, where players are rewarded for the bad behavior they can successfully heap on their Sim characters."
By anticipating to the needs of your Sims you can pull pranks on them like glueing them to the toilet seat. Exactly a year ago Maxis also announced the "PC Gamer Reviewer" expansion pack, which never saw daylight... Read the complete press release for more information.

[Update 22:15] Another press release is on the Sims 2 site. Maxis says they'll be removing 3D from The Sims 2 because "80's nostalgia is in really hot right now, and it's here to stay." Maxis wants to "explore that avenue a bit more, but from a technical standpoint." The Sims Blocky Shop will create your brand new Sims. Creating a 3D game is too hard for Maxis. Read the press release for more information.

OMG, I thought they were kidding. It has to be in 3D. If not, why would they bother?

They were both April Fool's jokes, though I didn't want to spoil it for you :) Hence the reference to last year's April Fool's joke by Maxis.
C-yAh,
