After our
100,000 milestone, only 3 weeks and a couple of days ago, comes another milestone: we've made it to the 250,000 visitors since 2 February 2002. This is earlier than we expected, mainly due to Maxis' last
community update. Those brought us nearly 100,000 visitors in the last few days (hence the
server problems). This is another great milestone for us, and we're now going for the 500,000, then the 1 million and then... Thank you all for visiting The Sims Zone!
2482. Server problems

With the link to our site at
the official site came a lot of visitors in just a few days. We had between 18,000 and 23,000 (unique) visitors each day, with yesterday being the busiest with over 22,000 visitors. We're very happy with this immense amount of visitors, where it were 'just' 2,000 to 3,000 each day before
last thursday. However, the increase in traffic has caused some problems on the server, resulting in a lot of downtime and the registration emails not being sent. We apologize for this inconvenience, and hope that these problems are solved soon, and we're doing as much as we can. Until then, if you can't access a page at any time, try later. Also, during the weekdays the site will be faster than in the (busy) weekends. Again, we apologize for this inconvenience.

GameSpot has now written an article in
the latest issue of GameSpotting. It's all about what a game should be like if it wants to beat The Sims, and sell even more. If you want to read it, visit

2485. Another SV Review

"Take The Sims, plop the game down in some aptly-themed vacation spots, add a few new items, take away work, and what do you have? Why, The Sims Vacation, of course. While that may be oversimplifying things a bit, thats the good and bad of the newest release in The Sims series of expansion packs. Maxis and Electronic Arts have delivered still more additional items for your Sim-joyment, just as they did with the previous 3 expansion packs. And unfortunately, Maxis and EA have also figured out yet another way to bilk Sims fans everywhere for another $30 for what I would describe as a mediocre expansion pack."
That's the first paragraph of another review of the latest expansion pack for The Sims, this time at
Gamersclick. It's not a very long read. As Pro and Con they give the same thing: "Another expansion for The Sims". The overall score is 80%, with a remarkable score for the (according to many people outdated) graphics: 10/10. To read the complete review, go

Last poll was Sim Brother's final poll: did you like it. And as we expected, most of those who followed it liked it a lot, and want a sequel (45 of 86 votes). 24 people have voted that they did not follow it and were here for the news and downloads. To view all the results, go
here. The new poll is about the latest expansion pack: do you already have it, and if not, will you get it and when? You can vote on the right, or by following
