Mod The Sims, now Celebrity Endorsed!
We at MTS have long been considering the merits of celebrity endorsement as they relate to sites like this one. There are benefits and disadvantages to be considered, but with EA's recent release of the Katy Perry special edition Showtime expansion pack, it has become clear that the time is ripe.
As you can no doubt imagine, it is incredibly challenging to find a suitable celebrity for a site as big and broad-ranging as this one. We considered popular culture icons like Justin Bieber and Rebecca Black, whose cutting-edge creativity and originality are what our creators strive for. We also considered more classic television stars like Dirk Benedict or Daniel J. Travanti, whose long lived careers could represent the site's timelessness and longevity. We even considered sporting professionals like Steven Bradbury, to celebrate our premier position as leaders of the modding community pack. But after much discussion, it became quite clear to the staff that there is only one person who could truly represent the full and complete amazingness that is this site.
We had to seek celebrity endorsement from the one and only Chuck Norris.
Chuck is a big fan of video games, even though he always wins them. Sometimes he wins them even before they've finished loading, because he's just that good. He has won at all the Sims games, without even using testing cheats. He got to the finish screens and everything.
As our celebrity representative, Chuck Norris will have a significant role to play in the long term plans for MTS. If you keep an eye out, you may even spot a few of the improvements which have already been made to the site at his behest! These are only the first of many changes, of course. Eventually, we expect Chuck's amazing personality to become just as important to MTS as the Sims games themselves are!
To celebrate this very exciting development, our Featured Creators and Staff have been preparing a selection of Chuck Norris themed content to be released periodically throughout the day. You can see these amazing creative works as they are released here:

As you can imagine, we're all very excited about this, and we hope you'll enjoy our new celebrity tie-ins. And seriously, Chuck Norris!
Chuck!
Norris!
Let us know what you think! Share in our excitement with us! Celebrate the awesomeness that is Chuck!
