Acknowledgments Playing The Sims for hours tends to blur the line between reality and fantasy, but fortunately I had the assistance of the Prima publishing team to keep me on track. A special thank you to Jennifer Crotteau, Christy Curtis, and Michelle Trujillo. To Asha Johnson, thank you for your timely copy editing assistance.
