I was in a very similar position... I once deleted all my sims 2 games with all thestuff I collected... I was crying like a baby that day. Actually I was depressed for almost 2 weeks.... Now I have realized that if there is one thing I love that makes me happy, it is the sims game. As long as I have control and disciplines, it is okay to keep a little hobby like sims just to make myself smile....
Anyway, I guess what I am trying to say is that I totally understand your decision and I give youall my blessings. The stories you have created have been so captivating and they have accompaniedme through a lot of difficult times. I thank you for all the time and effort you have put into making these two stories and really hope one day you will come back with some better stories (possibly with sims3 or even 4, 5) and we fans will always be here for you, cheer for you and wait for your grander creations....
Best wishes and good luck!!!
