11. 2 New Apartments

Written on Monday 23 February 2009 at 16:02 by Rosana - 0 comments.

I uploaded two of my apartments yesterday, the Soma Lofts and Sunnyvale Apts. Both required some custom walls and floors. It was brought to my attention by several people that not all the necessary walls and floors were included. That's the main reason I'm posting this on the front page! That, and to bring these items to your attention. Because I would love to hear what you think about these apartments. If you like them, I am willing to upload my items more often here on The Sims Zone.

13. The Sims 3: 2 June 2009

Written on Tuesday 3 February 2009 at 20:55 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

According to our affiliates at WorldSims The Sims 3 has been delayed until June 2 of this year. Apparently a press release went up on the official Sims 3 site earlier today, which got removed again shortly thereafter. More definite news is expected in about an hour (2PM PST), during EA's quarterly conference call, but it looks like 2 June will in fact be the date. The information seems genuine. Simultaneous to the PC release, the Sims 3 will be out on Mac, iPhone/iPod Touch and mobile. Note that 2 June is the US release date: in other countries the game may be released a few days later. We expect the UK and most of Europe to get the game at Friday 5 June.

[Update] It's official, the press release is out. Read more here. During the conference call EA CEO John Riccitiello remarked that in the last quarter, EA's titles did not perform as expected. As stated in the press release, EA wants to raise more awareness for The Sims 3 in the extra development time. EA will launch a worldwide marketing campaign that The Sims 3 deserves, according to Riccitiello. This falls in place with a new strategy to invest more time and effort to be really innovative with the marketing. The move of The Sims 3 (and other EA titles) means that instead of fiscal year '09, the game will be out in fiscal year '10 (April 2009 to March 2010). EA does believe that The Sims 3 is the most important title of fiscal 2010.

Along with this news, EA has published three new screenshots and a trailer, as well as a new box shot for the regular and the collector's edition. The first box shows that the PC and Mac versions will both be on the same disc. Click the thumbnails below for large versions.

14. 25,000,000 AND COUNTING !!!

Written on Friday 12 December 2008 at 01:50 by Andy - 3 comments.

Another landmark in the history of The Sims Zone was recently reached when we had our 25 millionth hit and as the Site Manager, I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of our visitors over the past years for your support as without you, there wouldn't be much point in our being here.

I would also like to thank our staff for their support despite offline activities having taken up a lot of their time over the past year.

ChEeTaH and Rosie are tied up with young family life and their academic studies although ChEeTaH will always stop what he is doing to help if I have a technical "under the hood" problem with the site. Rosie is also juggling her studies with young motherhood, which I am told from various sources can be a fulltime job in itself.

MissWendy is also very busy with her college studies and doing very well. I am indebted to her for her support and encouragement and her series of stuffpack reviews over the past year.

However, I would like to welcome TammyB who is our newest staff member. Tammy is a talented lot designer and has already posted her first upload. "Wilson" is a 2-storey redbrick house and is available both in furnished and unfurnished modes. She will also be adding more lots and wall/floor sets as the weeks go by. For one, I will be watching her file section with great interest.

I will be trying to keep up with new creations and news coverage, which is especially important now considering The Sims 3 will be with us in under 10 weeks!!!. Now that there will be no more official releases for The Sims 2, I will also be penning my thoughts about The Sims 2 and trying to see the future for what has been an excellent series. Before any of you ask, though, due to my offline commitments, I sadly do not yet have the time to commit to another series of Sim Brother but hope to keep you entertained in other ways.

Once again, a heartfelt thanks to all of our fans and supporters who have made up many of those 25 million hits and we promise to do our best to continue to serve you with downloads, news, views, and reviews until we hit our next major landmark of hits.

Dag dag!!

In the fourth part of our review of Apartment Life, we're looking at Magic.

Looking mainly from the point of view of Ricardo Cartman who has become a White Warlock and his sister who is interested in the darker arts, we look at some of the spells that can be cast, what reagants are, how skills and alignments can improve and a witch or warlock can do with their grimoire and cauldron.

20. IKEA® is coming to The Sims 2

Following on from Ford, Fiat and H&M Fashions using The Sims 2 as an advertising platform to promote their realworld products, it is now the turn of IKEA®.

"Whether you want to create a trendy, spacious office, a chic living room, or a cozy and inviting bedroom, you can make your Sims' dream house into something even better-a home. Design your Sims' rooms to fit their personalities with all-new sofas, beds, tables, TV units, shelving, and more, in a variety of colors and patterns for a truly unique look.
