Get in the Holiday Spirit
Written at 22:40 by Bettyjoe - 0 comments.
Get into the holiday spirit with my newly added walls and floors. You can deck the halls of your sims' home with style and some holiday flair. There are 3 single wall sets with a matching floor for each. Then there is a more complete christmas collection, which includes 7 decorated walls and 4 different floors to choose from.
P.S. All the floors actually work well with any of the walls. To download any of the sets I mentioned click here.

The Sims Zone is feeling blue...
Written at 21:05 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
As you might have noticed, this site has become inaccessible quite often lately. We apologize for this, and we are trying to fix all problems. Unfortunately we are not sure exactly what causes the errors which make it impossible to get on this site. It might be 2002 before we have solved all problems. The problems will be fixed as soon as possible, so we can continue our efforts to keep you updated with news, downloads and SimBrother (starting next year).

One more note about pictures with downloads: we are also working on this. After the other problems are solved, we will continue to get pictures with all the files as soon as possible.

Again, we are sorry for any inconvenience caused if you are not able to access (a part of) The Sims Zone. All we can say now is that you should visit at a later time if you cannot access The Sims Zone when you want to.

The Sims Zone team.
