2011. The Sims on PlayStation 2

Written on Thursday 16 May 2002 at 11:39 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Maxis has added another game to their upcoming releases list. It's not a complete new game though, but it'll be The Sims on PlayStation 2. It is to be released later this year, in the last quarter of 2002. It will have more enhanced 3D graphics than the PC version - which is already over 2 years old - and level-based gameplay. More information will be given during the E3 at 21 to 24 May. The Sims for PS2 is added to a list which also contains The Sims Online and SimCity 4, both to be released later this year. Maxis is going for a busy year... and next year? The Sims 2, SimUniverse and maybe even SimGolf for the Europeans?

2012. Where are you from?

Written on Thursday 16 May 2002 at 11:32 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

You might've already noticed the new poll on the right. This time we ask you where in the world you live. To cast your vote, look on the right or go to this page. As for the old poll, which ran 2 weeks because of the move: you find Livin' Large to be the worst expansion pack for The Sims with 139 votes. Runner up is House Party (127 votes), but is it happy with that? Third and fourth places are for Vacation (67) and Hot Date (49) which is generally found the best one - even with all the problems. 80 of the 438 people said they didn't have any expansions, and another 16 said they didn't like any of the expansion packs. For the full results, go to the archive.

2013. Update on the move

Written on Friday 10 May 2002 at 00:37 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

A few problems have occured with the move, so the move is slightly delayed. We will move to the new servers as soon as possible, and it will be within a week. Until then, there won't be any updates anymore. We hope to have moved soon. The move may mean that the site is down for about a day, but expect us back better than ever. We apologise for this delay and any downtime you encounter. Please be patient until we're back.

2014. Late SimDay Report: Nothing new

Written on Friday 10 May 2002 at 00:30 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

This week's simday is definately not a lot. As we reported earlier, the TSO site has had an update. More information can be found here, and The Sims Online's website can be visited at thesimsonline.ea.com. That is all for this quiet week. Maxis is probably getting themselves ready for the E3 expo later this month...

2015. One More SV Review

Written on Tuesday 7 May 2002 at 23:42 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

This time GameSpy's the one who reviewed the Sims' latest expansion pack. It's criticising the game for the errors that have to be fixed (the bugs), and even the surnames of the families:

"Vacation visitors no longer all have the same name. Instead, the families are all named after authors. Someone at Maxis was definitely a science fiction and fantasy fan, so expect to see people with last names like Le Guin and Turtledove. It's better than Hot Date's Townies, if a little disconcerting."

2016. TSO Update

Written on Saturday 4 May 2002 at 22:06 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

The official site of The Sims Online has had a major update. Besides some changes in the design, there are 6 brand new articles which describe the development and some of the gameplay of this upcoming title. These include articles written by Will Wright himself. The articles describe the careers, roommates, creating a sim, "Meet the Gizmo" and the Pizza Job Object. There's also an update in "The State of the S.I.M.M.", which tracks the development progress. That article gives us a bit about the estimated required system specifications:

450MHz CPU

64MB RAM

1,000MB disk space

28K modem

Win98 or better

For all articles and more information, visit The Sims Online.

2017. SimDay Report: New object again

Written on Thursday 2 May 2002 at 20:04 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Not a lot this SimDay: There's been another community update (and this site isn't in it anymore), the announcement of SimCity 4000 (more information here) and a new object: the "Vacation Island Beach Blanket". With it, you can get your Sims in the shade instead of in the burning sun on the beach. Simply download the 792 Kb big file from here. Another SimDay will be at the official site next week...

2018. Another Poll

Written on Thursday 2 May 2002 at 16:17 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

After last week's poll with a stunning 1901 votes, comes a follow-up: this week we ask you what the worst expansion pack is. Is it Livin' Large, House Party, Hot Date or Vacation? Case your vote on the right or over here. It was close, but 463 think Hot Date is the best expansion pack for The Sims ever made. Runner-up is Vacation with 447 votes. Nearly one third of the people think all expansions are good with a total of 628 votes for that option. The least people find House Party the best: only 95 votes for that. These and all other results can be found in the poll archive.

2019. TSZ is moving

Written on Wednesday 1 May 2002 at 23:45 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

Next week there will be a few slight changes coming to The Sims Zone: we are moving servers. The Sims Zone will be running one two separate servers, one for the files and several images, and another one for the actual pages. However, there will be no extreme changes. Some advantages are (expected) overall better performance of the site, especially in peak hours, and registration (to become a The Sims Zone member) will also work again soon after the move.
