2361. Sim Brother II: The Contenders

Written on Tuesday 30 July 2002 at 02:00 by Andy - 0 comments.

Keep your Autumn Schedule clear as the start of our second series of "Sim Brother" is less than a month away. There's a new house, new challenges, new rules and new celebrity housemates... with a twist.

There are two shortlist polls coming soon where you get to vote for six of the housemates. So who goes in?

You decide.

2362. The Sims Online - E3 Trailer

Written on Monday 29 July 2002 at 22:22 by Matthew - 0 comments.

If you don't know much about The Sims Online, where have you been? Unsurprisingly enough, it's the online version of The Sims, and it's due out in the not too distant future. While the fate of the English release of the game is still slightly uncertain, a new movie has surfaced. This consists mainly of the footage that was shown at the recent E3 show, and totals around 23.5mb. If you'd like to download it, try either the official site or FilePlanet.

2363. Hello!

Written on Sunday 28 July 2002 at 19:18 by Matthew - 1 comment.

Ah, memories. Hi, I'm Matthew, and I'm taking over this little website for a bit while Cheetah has a well deserved vacation. I'm only at the helm for a couple of days - Andy gets back on Tuesday - but I'll try my hardest to keep the Sims Zone running as normal until then. And heck, maybe I'll stick around afterwards too.

2364. Away for 2 weeks

Written on Sunday 28 July 2002 at 01:40 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

After sending my Sims on holiday several times, I'll be taking a break for the next two weeks (leaving tomorrow) too. That means I won't be updating this site for a while, but it doesn't mean this site won't be updated at all. In fact, some very good news will be seen here shortly. Because I'm away, Andy will be the boss of this place until I get back. Also, Matthew Eastaugh, ex-webmaster of this site (when it still was TheSimsFusion, now about 18 months ago), will do some work here again. You'll see some news items from him, and maybe even other things. I'll see you all again in about 2 weeks from now. Bye bye!

2365. New Gravel Shingles

Written on Friday 26 July 2002 at 04:18 by Bettyjoe - 0 comments.

I just finished 22 new gravel shingle roofs for The Sims. These turned out nicely and are very "realistic-looking" in the game environment. You can find them in two packs: assortment 1 and assortment 2. Download them here. They can also be found here.

2366. New: Beach House

Written on Thursday 25 July 2002 at 22:22 by Jendea - 0 comments.

Large, new mid-range beach style house for Lot 10 with pool, basketball court and walk through under the deck from front to the back yard. Also, I added the things one would usually find in a home for sale - the kitchen and bath fixtures (for 3 baths), ceiling and wall lights. Enjoy :)

2367. Gamers.com preview of The Sims (PS2)

Written on Thursday 25 July 2002 at 20:31 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

"Once you've created a Sim, it's time to plop him or her into an environment. Once inside a home you'll have to monitor eight categories in order to keep your Sim in a livable (happy) state: Hunger, Hygiene, Energy, Social, Comfort, Bladder, Fun and Room. Neglect these factors and you've got a very unhappy Sim on your hands. And unhappy Sims burn houses down. Capisce?"

Sounds familiar? That is a bit of a preview Gamers.com posted about The Sims on PlayStation2, along with some screenshots. The article is not very long, but the five screenshots aren't too bad. There's also the first screenshot of the neighborhood, something we haven't seen before yet of the PS2 version. The screenshots can be seen here, and the short article can be found on this page.

2368. SimDay Report: New BBS and Previews

Written on Thursday 25 July 2002 at 20:20 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It seems that the SimDays get more boring every week, with a few exceptions. There isn't much news this week. Only that there's now a BBS for Unleashed (follow this link). Also, they've made a short list of 3 sites with previews of Unleashed. We already discussed those for IGN (here) and the one from GameSpot (here). The only one from the list we didn't discuss is a preview at The Gamers Temple. As both other previews, this one discusses the pets and their behaviour, as well as a bit of the gardening and the new careers. There isn't much new info in this preview if you've already read the other two: there will be 30 lots in a neighborhood (instead of the current 10), which each can be a normal house, a community area (parks, cafes, pet stores, etc.). For those who really want to read everything about the expansion pack, and so also the preview from The Gamers Temple: go to this page for their review.

2369. Ever had problems?

Written on Thursday 25 July 2002 at 02:16 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Have you reinstalled The Sims often because it didn't work, or did you never have to do that? That's the question of this week's new poll, which can easily be found on the right and on this page. The result of last week's poll was quite interesting too: most sims are dirty... At least, they never get new clothes to wear. Of the 161 people who voted, 64 said they never (or hardly ever) change the outfit of their sims. 31 People said to change the outfits some times, but not really regularly. 23 others said they change the outfit of a sim every few days, and 21 people give their sims new clothes every day. The other 2 options, "Every day a couple of times" and "Every 7 days or so", are tied on the last place with both 11 votes. Conclusion: don't come too close to Sims, they might smell. A nice graph of the results can be found in the poll archive.

2370. More GameSpot videos and screens

Written on Thursday 25 July 2002 at 02:08 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Besides the video interview of The Sims Unleashed posted a few days ago, several other videos and screens that I hadn't noticed were posted - but not of The Sims Unleashed. A trailer of The Sims Online, an article with screenshots of Deluxe, and a movie and screenshots of The Sims on PS2 were added recently. Unfortunately, the videos are only for GameSpot complete members, and so I cannot see them. The TSO video can be downloaded from here and the Sims PS2 video from here. That last one is also a sort of interview: according to the description the producer shows what's possible with that game. In the TSO video you can "watch a group of Sims socialize in this clip".

Furthermore there are several screenshots, both of The Sims Deluxe and The Sims PS2. The Sims Deluxe's shots have been seen earlier at IGN, but in case you haven't seen the Create-A-Sim tool yet, you can still see it on this page, along with a very short article giving no new information on this page. As for the PlayStation 2 shots: they can be found here. Here's an example of one of the screenshots from the PS2:
