this makes a lot of sense...

Well, I don't know if this was on her site before, but it's certainly there now:

I will not be working exclusively for TSR, even though I was a featured artist there before, so don't think I'm closing because of something like that. I think that's all I wanted to say.
Best wishes.

Seems like she reads our little forum here.  Or at least has heard the rumours somewhere...

Funny that she says she's closing down because she's lost all interest in creating and playing the game.. yet she's going to be doing some work for TSR.

Damn, I must have really misread the "I will NOT" part.

Umm she said quite the opposite, actually.

She said that she will not be working *exclusively* for TSR, which implies that she will still be doing some work.  That's how I read it anyway. /shrugs

I think you're reading it wrong actually, putting emphasis on the wrong word.

I checked her TSR site theres no activity there, she probably is trully quitting, people get burnt out, and need changes from time to time. Right now not playing sims taking a break.
