2261. PC Format Sims Special!

Written on Tuesday 8 October 2002 at 19:02 by Steve - 5 comments.

If you live in the UK then there is a real treat available for you this month. Now in the shops is the popular computing magazine PC Format and this month they have gone Sims mad!

Included in the magazine is a seven (yes, seven) page article on The Sims Online. This includes an interview with Will Wright, creator of The Sims, Sim City and The Sims Online. This seven page article gives you a new insight into the game, with pictures taken from the game to give you an impression of what it will be like.

The Sims Online has already gone out for testing, I myself was sent an e-mail offering a chance for me to become a test player, however living out of the United States meant I was not able to take part :-(

If this article does not take your fancy, then maybe the one thousand files will! These walls, floors, objects, roofs and sets have been taken, with permission, from The Sims Resource. 100 of these files are from the subscribers only area of the site, so it must be worth it!

And if after all that you are still not interested then there are 6 programs also for The Sims on the disk..

With psychological evaluation, what conclusions are reached about the housemates behaviour at this stage of the game?

2263. New Unleashed Review.. Again!

Written on Monday 7 October 2002 at 15:40 by Matthew - 0 comments.

Another day, another review to add to the Unleashed reviews index. This time it's from EuroGamer.. a nice change to get a non-US perspective, dontcha think? Anyway, it's not that positive about the expansion pack either - which seems to be a recurring theme from the reviews so far, unfortunately. If you want to go directly to the review, click here.

2264. New Unleashed Review

Written on Sunday 6 October 2002 at 19:37 by Matthew - 0 comments.

Just a quick note to say there's a new review of The Sims: Unleashed to be found over in the Unleashed Reviews Index. This one's from Gaming Temple, and it's quite positive. Of course, if you'd prefer, you could always just click here to go straight to the review. We'd prefer you to read the index though, of course. :)

2265. First New Mesh Posted!

Written on Sunday 6 October 2002 at 10:21 by Jendea - 4 comments.

The first in a series of new meshes posts today! I'm starting with a simple gown. This mesh is curvier than the Maxis straight dress, with a larger hip and bustline, tapered on the legs and waist.
The dress is modeled after a maroon gown worn by Catherine Zeta-Jones to the Cancer Society Dream Ball. Both "normal" and Hotdate buyable skins and meshes in the zip.
The new head is "Mallory" (head mesh by Fionn!).

Check them both out under: my section Jendea or under Skins

2269. New Reviews Today..

2270. SimDay - Four Things Today.. Or Not

Written on Thursday 3 October 2002 at 14:08 by Matthew - 0 comments.

Once again four things for SimDay.. and once again I've already told you about two of them. :) Yep, in case you missed the GameZone review of Unleashed, or the Gamespot preview of the PS2 version of The Sims, you now have another chance to click those links.

The other stuff, however, is of more use. For instance, there's an announcement about why the Exchange was recently closed to non US-English users. Apparently it's all down to the instability that could occur from installing bits from different languages in the same game. No, I don't understand it either. Here, have a quote:

'While we will continue to officially only support US-English, we do want Sims fans across the world to be able to spread their creativity around! Our code does support all single-byte languages except Polish, but double-byte languages (Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc.) are not supported. We will be opening downloads up to all single-byte languages except Polish on the next SimDay.'

Well, at least they're solving the problem! The full statement can be found here. The final thing is another download for Unleashed.. two downloads in two weeks? They're spoiling us. :) This time it's some new skins for your pets. The download weighs in at 456kb, and can be found on this page.
