Default Suspicious in-game ad picture
This advertisement picture is hung on side wall of Divisadero Budget Books bookstore of Sunset Valley. What do you think that the advertisement is for?
Guy and gal are talking on the phone. Phone and red heart in center, phone number below. And it doesn't looks like cell phone service ad. The number doesn't looks like normal phone number. (+X-XXX-XXXX) Isn't it suspicious enough? Has Pauline Wan some secret part-time job?

Suspicious? I do not see it however it looks like Pauline Wan is looking for some action.

Thought that looked like Hank but I don't see his little flavor savor on his chin....

Suspicious in what way? It looks like an add for a singles chat line, nothing really weird about that.

If this is singles chat line, then why no menu for the number in the in-game phone? Like "Chat on the phone with some lonely single ". That would be great for single sims in Sunset Valley. In-game computer has such option ( "Chat with someone" ).

also shows up when writing trashy romance novels so.. I had my sim look into it, she says it's nothing more than an ad for SimHarmony.com's phone dating service

Well in a way there is.. The PC.. You simply chose "chat with someone" not picking WHO you chat with and you meet new ppl.. When my ppl's do this i get pop ups like "yadda yadda learned that blah blah is single"

Let's not forget that the gypsy matchmaker came with an expansion in TS2. We can't rule out that said singles line will be added to the game later!

I don't see it as weird personally... just looks like an ad for a dating service

It'd be more interesting if it just had a simchick in a bikini, lounging on a bed with the phone. Then, maybe, you could call it suspicious. This is fairly innocuous.

This is probably as provocative as EA will get.
