2461. Newbie TJ

Written on Thursday 16 May 2002 at 14:48 by TJ - 3 comments.

Hey. I'm TJ, and I make objects for TSZ. I've been learning how to skin, so you will see some of those too. I just added the first object I ever made with blueprint. It is the Triple Layer Table. Click the picture to check it out.

2462. The Sims on PlayStation 2

Written on Thursday 16 May 2002 at 11:39 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Maxis has added another game to their upcoming releases list. It's not a complete new game though, but it'll be The Sims on PlayStation 2. It is to be released later this year, in the last quarter of 2002. It will have more enhanced 3D graphics than the PC version - which is already over 2 years old - and level-based gameplay. More information will be given during the E3 at 21 to 24 May. The Sims for PS2 is added to a list which also contains The Sims Online and SimCity 4, both to be released later this year. Maxis is going for a busy year... and next year? The Sims 2, SimUniverse and maybe even SimGolf for the Europeans?

You might've already noticed the new poll on the right. This time we ask you where in the world you live. To cast your vote, look on the right or go to this page. As for the old poll, which ran 2 weeks because of the move: you find Livin' Large to be the worst expansion pack for The Sims with 139 votes. Runner up is House Party (127 votes), but is it happy with that? Third and fourth places are for Vacation (67) and Hot Date (49) which is generally found the best one - even with all the problems. 80 of the 438 people said they didn't have any expansions, and another 16 said they didn't like any of the expansion packs. For the full results, go to the archive.

I'd like to take this opportunity to introduce the three new staff members who have just joined us. These three have been hired by us on the virtue of the quality of their work.

William joins us as our second Lot Designer and two of his lots for Vacation Island will be appearing on the site shortly.

T J is our second Object Designer. He has experience with Blueprint and T-Mog and we are looking forward to good things.

Sumit is our second Walls/Floor Designer. He used to be the webmaster of Century Sims and he is now giving us his expertise.

I welcome our Newbies to TSZ and am sure that you will be impressed with their contributions for you to download.

You've seen all of the other reviews. Now it's our turn to tell you what we think of "Vacation/On Holiday" and what Anne Robinson, Tony Blair & Anna Kournikova thought of their vacations.

2466. Back online!

Written on Wednesday 15 May 2002 at 21:00 by the Webmaster - 1 comment.

The Sims Zone is now back online! We've successfully moved over to our new servers. Member Registration is now working again, so if you're not registered yet: go register now and have exclusive access to part of this site (currently only the posting of comments, but that'll be much more in the future). Everything else should be working as normal again, but we'll keep watching this site for any problems. We also apologise for any inconvenience caused by downtime and the lack of updates the past week. We are back now, and will go on as before... and better! Many thanks go out to Jevon for sorting it all out and basically being the main tech-dude at The Sims Zone.

With the move came a few things: first of all, we have our own SV review now! It's a must-read for all those who don't have this expansion pack yet, and for all Sim Brother fans too! Besides that, we have expanded the team with 3 new staff members who will be introducing themselves soon. More details about them will follow later. Also, you might have noticed that there are no advertising banners yet, unlike announced here earlier. These have been delayed a while, but they will be here. They are required to help us out with the costs of hosting.

2467. Update on the move

Written on Friday 10 May 2002 at 00:37 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

A few problems have occured with the move, so the move is slightly delayed. We will move to the new servers as soon as possible, and it will be within a week. Until then, there won't be any updates anymore. We hope to have moved soon. The move may mean that the site is down for about a day, but expect us back better than ever. We apologise for this delay and any downtime you encounter. Please be patient until we're back.

2468. Late SimDay Report: Nothing new

Written on Friday 10 May 2002 at 00:30 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

This week's simday is definately not a lot. As we reported earlier, the TSO site has had an update. More information can be found here, and The Sims Online's website can be visited at thesimsonline.ea.com. That is all for this quiet week. Maxis is probably getting themselves ready for the E3 expo later this month...

2469. One More SV Review

Written on Tuesday 7 May 2002 at 23:42 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

This time GameSpy's the one who reviewed the Sims' latest expansion pack. It's criticising the game for the errors that have to be fixed (the bugs), and even the surnames of the families:

"Vacation visitors no longer all have the same name. Instead, the families are all named after authors. Someone at Maxis was definitely a science fiction and fantasy fan, so expect to see people with last names like Le Guin and Turtledove. It's better than Hot Date's Townies, if a little disconcerting."

2470. TSO Update

Written on Saturday 4 May 2002 at 22:06 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

The official site of The Sims Online has had a major update. Besides some changes in the design, there are 6 brand new articles which describe the development and some of the gameplay of this upcoming title. These include articles written by Will Wright himself. The articles describe the careers, roommates, creating a sim, "Meet the Gizmo" and the Pizza Job Object. There's also an update in "The State of the S.I.M.M.", which tracks the development progress. That article gives us a bit about the estimated required system specifications:

450MHz CPU

64MB RAM

1,000MB disk space

28K modem

Win98 or better
