2541. New Affiliate Site Added

Written on Monday 25 March 2002 at 22:43 by Carrie - 1 comment.

A new website has been added to the affiliates list today. It is a site that I have designed called Holsimer Real Estate Co. It features a variety of houses that I have built for The Sims. There is also a recipe box for your hungry Sims, the Holsimer Family Diaries, programs for use in designing your houses and lots more. It is still under some construction, but I am hoping to get everything up and running very soon. Please be sure to check back for more updates and additions!

2543. KillerSims went offline... for now

Written on Saturday 23 March 2002 at 21:23 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

As I reported yesterday, KillerSims is having major traffic trouble. They've now put the site offline until a solution for the traffic problems is found. An earlier solution (limiting bandwidth per user) resulted in overall poor performance of the site, so they're thinking of something else now. We wish them good luck in finding a solution, and hope they'll be back soon as one of the best fansites on the net.

2545. Will Wright on MSNBC.com

Written on Friday 22 March 2002 at 23:23 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Will wright has been featured at MSNBC.com yesterday. In it, he explains some things of The Sims and The Sims Online:

"'I first came up with the idea for The Sims in 1992 or 1993,' says Wright. 'In 1993, I built a version of The Sims on the Mac in which I could have a guy walk around, build a house, and interact with objects. We did a focus group in 1993 in which we tested four game ideas; and of the ideas we tested, The Sims was the one that everybody universally hated.'"

He also explains how he made a small pac-man simulation in The Sims. The whole article can be read here.

2546. Killersims closing?

Written on Friday 22 March 2002 at 23:07 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

KillerSims has been having some bandwidth trouble lately. In a newsletter sent by them. The site reaches 50,000-75,000 visitors each day, generating a lot of traffic - 6 Mb per second! As KillerSims too is a non-profit site, the webmaster will decide within 24 hours if he'll continue with KillerSims or not. The decisision will not have any influence on the eGroups, BBS or chat. We hope KillerSims will go on as the great site for The Sims that they are. Maybe just as paysite? We'll keep you updated.

More information on bandwidth trouble can be read in my latest editorial. Thanks to Helena Handbasket in the newsgroup for reporting this.

2550. The Neighborhood Handler and Vacation

Written on Thursday 21 March 2002 at 00:17 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

With Vacation coming soon, I'm now working on a new version of The Neighborhood Handler (TNHH): version 3.7. Besides Vacation compatibility, it'll have a few new options too. I cannot tell when exactly it'll be ready, but it won't be before the new expansion pack comes out, unfortunately. I hope I can finish and release the program mid-april, but I'm not sure about that. As always, the TNHH Yahoo! Group members will get it approximately a week earlier than the rest. Read More!
