Transmogrifier: Transmogrifier 2.0 coming soon

Written at 00:01 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's been quite some time since the last version of Transmogrifier, 1.4 was released. After a few years (literally), Dan Hopkins is finally close to releasing version 2.0, which will support all expansion packs for The Sims 1. It's not yet finished, but it will be released "soon". The exact new features (if any) aren't listed, except that many bugs have been fixed, it'll support Windows XP, and as said it will support all expansions. Many object makers have been waiting for this, and it should not be long until you can download the new version from the Transmogrifier website. Remember, it's not available yet, but you can get a magic cookie already. Meanwhile, the site has been updated quite a bit though, so it's worth checking out.

WorldSims: Sims 2 Screensaver

Written at 14:50 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Our affiliate WorldSims has posted an interesting file yesterday: a screensaver. If you can't get enough of the Sims 2, even when you're not at your computer, then that screensaver is a great solution. After downloading and installing the 19 Mb (!) file, you will be able to select it as your screensaver in the Control Panel. Once you stop working for the selected period of time then, you'll see a ton of screenshots of The Sims 2 come by on your screen, with (if you want) some music in the background. You can set up several things as well, like the order of the screenshots, when the screensaver should disappear again, and how quickly the screenshots should change every time. It comes with an easy installation, so there's no need to go through a hassle of unzipping whatsoever. You can get the file from this page.

We're glad to have received that news that The Sims Zone, together with 9 other sites, has been nominated at The Sims Exchange in the Best Downloads category.

After a Sims 2 screensaver a couple of days ago, affiliate WorldSims has again posted some Sims 2 media. This time it's the "New Generation" song from the second E3 2003 Trailer. WorldSims has enhanced the sound quality a bit to make it blast through your speakers even better, so you can either wake up that new generation really well, or drive mad the previous. The music comes in MP3 format, and you can download it from this page (2.78 Mb). If you're interested in watching the trailer that this music comes from, then click here for more information,
