An official statement from EA SPORTS

[Manu Sharma @SimGuru0x00]

@LastWeasleyRose Pretty sure we had a bustin out focused batch of songs released last year. I could be wrong. Try asking Alexa for Bustin out songs in the skill.

[Manu Sharma @SimGuru0x00]

My fav skill is now even better! The best place to get your fix for Sims songs.

[The Sims @TheSims]

It's time for our biggest Alexa music update so far! Bop to 39 new songs in Simlish💃🕺 and jam to more than 275 The Sims songs in the skill overall: https://t.co/L9w2HhROjH

Take the chance to dance - just say: "Alexa, ask The Sims to play new music" 🎶

@MarenEmilie03 Nice. I haven't been able to pick up the Harry Potter books after the 7th one.

[Manu Sharma @SimGuru0x00]

What is everyone reading? Looking for ideas to expand my wishlist on audible. My last three books in the last couple of months are:
* Inner Engineering, by Sadhguru Vasudev (in progress)
* Lean In , by Sheryl Sandberg
* When Breadth Becomes Air. by Paul Kalanithi

[Manu Sharma @SimGuru0x00]

@beck13piano I'm totally fine. Thanks 😊

[Manu Sharma @SimGuru0x00]

I went dark for a few months. How is everyone doing? Stay safe and healthy!

[Manu Sharma @SimGuru0x00]

Enjoy some MySims music while we stay healthy at home 🐥

Sims and other voice games on Alexa!

[Dave Isbitski @thedavedev]

Curious about #VoiceFirst gaming? In Ep27 of Alexa Podcast I chat with @1chrisMorrow, Sr. Producer for #Alexa Games at #Amazon! What are players enjoying? What's working? What lessons learned as a #GameDev in #Voice. Listen via iTunes, Spotify and more. https://t.co/EA06STPjpv

[Manu Sharma @SimGuru0x00]

@NoahLGP I don't believe it did. Rest assured we are continuing to work on this goal to help our long term simulation players.

[Manu Sharma @SimGuru0x00]

I wanted to share a cool milestone. You can play with a population of 800 sims!

At launch, this was 180. You do not have to buy any DLC to get this update. The graph shows updates to the cap plotted next to the DLC release.

This is a fun cheat but I want to make sure players are aware that using this cheat can potentially break in-game alarms/timers and the entire simulator. It's kinda like real life, messing with time can break your entire world lol. Please don't report bugs if you used this cheat.
