I also love the xylopohone, our daugther had one exactly like that when she was little. Afterwards, she wanted a toy piano. Now she wants a real piano. Stepping stone theory?

How is Digital Dollhouse that much different from playing Sims?

I've never played the Sims, but I'd imagine that Digital Dollhouse is more geared towards children than the Sims?
