Default "Official" Sims 3 magazine?
So, my mom bought me a magazine. ''The Sims 3 official magazine''. I was really surprised but then I noticed it's not by EA or in any co-operation with EA but a fan-made magazine, with a disc coming with CC on it.

They have some usual information for beginner builders, story makers etc. They even wrote about cmomoney's pose player!
I'd just thought I'd share it with you and ask if you know more about this magazine.

If you remember me, I'm awesome!

Was TSR the publisher?

It's real and run by EA. Check out their website here. EA's community outreach with The Sims has been above par for about the past year and a half or so. Of course, that doesn't make the game spark any more interest from me, but at least they're trying.

But Johnny is referring to an actual, print magazine, that came with a disk of content. That's doesn't sound the same as EA's digital magazine.

Eskie is right, I didn't know about any online magazine neither do I care, but it's a printed magazine. It has topics about ''modern living'' and such with CC included (on the disc) which are made by the Sims community blackyanther.de, but it doesn't say the magazine is made by the community of Blackypanther.

But the disc came with the magazine, not vice versa

Edit:
Included 2 qrapquality screenshots.

I seem to recall reading something about a magazine at the EA German site a couple of years ago. I wonder if it's the same thing. I don't speak German but I do frequent AkiSIMa and they had some write up of a magazine with contributors from the various German sites giving free CC. That's about all I remember. I didn't know they did it until you opened this thread.
