There have been a few upgrades to the files section of this site again. File sizes are now displayed more accurate. Also, you can see the amount of times a file has been downloaded from the lists. In those lists, the files are now ordered by date too, in stead of by name. Last but not least: some files now appear in 2 categories. These are basically files made by the team of The Sims Zone. They appear now in their own section, as well as the regular section that they'd belong in.

Not a lot this simday: just a new skinpack with 20 NOD skins in there, from the famous game Command & Conquer Renegade. If you want a war in your neighborhood, download last week's
GDI Skins (1.74 Mb), and these new
NOD Skins (1.58 Mb).
As an update on
last week's SimDay, the skins of the Hot or Not contest winners have been fixed. The BMP files
were missing before, but they're now added. The full package is now also turned into an exe file for automatic installation. You can download the fixed pack
right here (633 Kb).

2568. Why do sites become pay-sites?

There have been a lot of discussions in several forums, newsgroups and chats about pay-sites. A quite common opinion is: 'Pay-sites are stupid'. But does everybody really know
why sites become a pay-site? A quick answer is that they don't do it to make money. In fact, it is not an easy decision for a webmaster to make. I have explained reasons for becoming a pay-site (or even closing the site down) in a new editorial here at The Sims Zone: "
Pay-sites & closing sites - how come?".

After Bil Simser announced
6 new utilities last week, he now has announced a 7th one. 'Buzzword', as he calls it, will automatically categorize your objects using words in the name or description. You can enter multiple keywords, and then see what it comes up with. You can then select what category to move the results to, either one by one or all at once. The tool will not be beta-tested as all other tools, but of course Bil will test it himself. It'll be released soon at the
BluePrint website.
