Amusement: There's a reason I put that note about how these are things for the game at the top. Several times in the past, I have received notes from folks asking how to buy things they saw in our catalog, referring to items that were made for The Sims 2.

These signs and the hats and shirts seemed like things that were very likely to show up in a web search when someone is looking for real-world stuff, so I thought we might save people some disappointment.

My favorite story was when a US ambassador to another country, who happened to be from Texas, wrote to ask where she could buy a Texas-shaped rug that was on one of the old SimsHost sites. She was so enthusiastic about it, it broke my heart to have to tell her that it was just an item for a game.

But hey, if someone is feeling entrepreneurial, consider making rugs with the outline of distinctively shaped states! There's a market out there!
