Although it's just a monthly update, it gives more than 5 SimDays combined: the TSO update on its
official site. For instance, there's a bit about the play test again:
"We expect to start selecting people for our play test within a few weeks, so make sure you have had your friends signed up for this newsletter, as it puts them in the pool of people we will invite to our play test. All the information on our playtest was in last month's update and can be found here."
So sign up to the newsletter if you haven't already done so! Visit
this page for that full (but small) article.

2314. SimDay: Something for last week

This week two 'new' things of one week old at the
official site for SimDay. The first part is about 5 new exclusive screenshots at
GameSpot. Something we posted about a week ago, in the "
Screenshot Mania" post. For more details about those and more screenshots, go there. To go directly to the screenshot page, visit
GameSpot. As for the other half of this week's SimDay: it's basically just a bit for the community 'update' there - that hasn't been updated since months. Isn't it time to do something about that Maxis? Anyway, it's about
The Sims Resource turning 3 years old (happy birthday TSR!), and that because of that they've redesigned the site. The bit at the official site doesn't mention that it went pay too. You might've read more about it in
this community news post also written last week. Next week? Maybe some old links again. Don't expect a community update anyway, there hasn't been one for months already.

The current issue (Oct 2002) of
PC Gamer magazine has some interesting statistics. It contains an article about the bestselling PC games of all time in the UK, and it makes good reading for the accountants of Electronic Arts. Here's where The Sims and its relations came in..
#1 - The Sims - Sold 750,000 in the UK since Feb 2000
#7 - The Sims: Livin' It Up - Sold 388,000 in the UK since Sept 2000

2316. Deluxe: What do you think?

If you visit this site recently, then you might have noticed our criticism towards Maxis, and even actions when it comes to The Sims Deluxe. There's been an
open letter which later resulted in an
Online Petition. Although the discussions have quieted down a bit now, the petition has received already 300 visitors who spent the time to sign it. The petition is still open to be signed
right here. Now there's something else where you can quickly and anonymously show us your opinion: the weekly poll on this site. Simply vote on the right if you agree with that The Sims Deluxe is a rip off, or that you think it's totally the worth $30 or even $40. So, go to the right and vote, or visit
this page to vote. Last week's was a Sim Brother II eviction poll, so you'll have to visit
Sim Brother II to see those results... or you can go to the
poll archive to see that poll's and all older poll's results. As always, the poll will close in a week.

2319. ECTS 2002: TSO & PS2 screenshots

The ECTS have been taking place again in the UK. The ECTS are more or less the European E3: an event of a couple of days, where new games of quite a lot of publishers and developers are being showcased. Most likely from there,
PC.IGN.com has posted some new screenshots of The Sims Online. 12 in total to be precise. Titles as "
My most liked list", "
Sim Crater", "
Liar -> Pimp -> Mounty" and "
Ear smoker" sound interesting. Those are the names of the screenshots, which also look quite interesting. Want to have a look at them? Then simply go to the
TSO Media Page at IGN. A small note from the editor though: "
Some of these screens are new and some are most definitely old, but I am far too lazy to check them all.".
Also from the ECTS 2002 come screenshots of The Sims on Playstation 2. Those can be found at
PS2.IGN.Com. There are another 12 shots. Some of them have been seen before though, like the Neighborhood screen. But the "
Top Down" (below), "
Entryway" and the "
Where'd she go?" screenshots, as well as all the others sure look interesting. Have a peek
right here.
