Players Dress As Their Sims For Convention

Thanks to Stratics for its messageboard post discussing the publicizing of a fan convention specifically for players of The Sims Online. The Michigan-based International SimCon, being staged from February 20th-22nd, has an agenda "to bring the game experience to real life", according to event director Troy Pruyt. The announcement explains: "For instance, Friday evening will be luau themed, which is a common home decorating theme used in the game. Players will dress as their sims, to compete for prizes, while dancing to a live DJ, which is also common in the game." However, it's not clear whether The Sims Online mafia will also be making a money-extorting appearance in real life.
