Made it to 500! Now I can erase “newbie” from my forehead (damn - I shouldn’t have had that as a tattoo).  
Hey, maybe when I make 1,000, I’ll be recognized enough to hold an actual MPSIMS party.

But at least I made **Omniscient’s** criterion…

No party…oh-kay. I can deal with that. So…just a nod to your accomplishment? You sure you don’t want some confetti or something? No? As you wish.  
Congrats. I like the minimalist approach.
