2021. Yet Another SV Review
Written on Friday 26 April 2002 at 15:29 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
This time it's up to MonkeyReview to review The Sims' latest expansion pack. As most others, they find Hot Date the more innovative expansion pack. Vacation expands the new features that came with Hot Date, but doesn't add something really new. In other words: "although we see some nice changes in The Sims Vacation we don’t see the major changes that we saw in Hot Date". Although most of you already have the game, for those who still have to decide whether to buy it or not, you can read the review here.
 

2022. That's Life 2 Coming soon
Written on Friday 26 April 2002 at 00:25 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
As we reported earlier, That's Life 2 (also known as Face Factory) is coming. This is an unofficial expansion pack for The Sims. That's Life 1 caused a lot of havoc when it seemed to have items from several sites on it, without any form of permission. The same will be the case with That's Life 2. There's one big different though: this time it includes the tool 'Face Factory'. With that you can make your own faces. BlackStar Interactive will release this expansion pack world-wide soon, as they got the permission from the creator X-Media. Whether it's worth buying this expansion pack is up to you, but remember that most of it can be found for free on the most popular sites too...

A record in the amount of votes for a poll was made last poll: 757 people casted their vote in one week time. The question was "When will you get SV?" From the possible answers, 529 people said they already had it. 85 others have said to get it in a month or so, and 52 are not going to get it. All results can be showed here in the poll archive. This week we ask you what you think the best expansion is. Cast your vote on the right, or right here.

This week only one thing for SimDay: a new game. This Hungry Hingry Hamster game is for the latest expansion pack, and is one of those other nice games to place in your vacation areas. If you want to download this new game, click here. It's only 656 Kb. Too bad there's nothing else to report from the official site...
 

2025. 250,000 visitors milestone
Written on Tuesday 23 April 2002 at 22:18 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
After our 100,000 milestone, only 3 weeks and a couple of days ago, comes another milestone: we've made it to the 250,000 visitors since 2 February 2002. This is earlier than we expected, mainly due to Maxis' last community update. Those brought us nearly 100,000 visitors in the last few days (hence the server problems). This is another great milestone for us, and we're now going for the 500,000, then the 1 million and then... Thank you all for visiting The Sims Zone!
 

2026. Server problems
Written on Monday 22 April 2002 at 23:32 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
With the link to our site at the official site came a lot of visitors in just a few days. We had between 18,000 and 23,000 (unique) visitors each day, with yesterday being the busiest with over 22,000 visitors. We're very happy with this immense amount of visitors, where it were 'just' 2,000 to 3,000 each day before last thursday. However, the increase in traffic has caused some problems on the server, resulting in a lot of downtime and the registration emails not being sent. We apologize for this inconvenience, and hope that these problems are solved soon, and we're doing as much as we can. Until then, if you can't access a page at any time, try later. Also, during the weekdays the site will be faster than in the (busy) weekends. Again, we apologize for this inconvenience.
 

2027. What game will beat The Sims?
Written on Monday 22 April 2002 at 23:09 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
Back in March The Sims beat the game Myst in sale numbers. It had sold 6.3 million times, making The Sims the best selling PC game ever, and it's still high in the sales charts. GameSpot has now written an article in the latest issue of GameSpotting. It's all about what a game should be like if it wants to beat The Sims, and sell even more.

2028. Another SV Review
Written on Sunday 21 April 2002 at 00:51 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
"Take The Sims, plop the game down in some aptly-themed vacation spots, add a few new items, take away work, and what do you have? Why, The Sims Vacation, of course. While that may be oversimplifying things a bit, thats the good and bad of the newest release in The Sims series of expansion packs. Maxis and Electronic Arts have delivered still more additional items for your Sim-joyment, just as they did with the previous 3 expansion packs. And unfortunately, Maxis and EA have also figured out yet another way to bilk Sims fans everywhere for another $30 for what I would describe as a mediocre expansion pack."
That's the first paragraph of another review of the latest expansion pack for The Sims, this time at Gamersclick. It's not a very long read. As Pro and Con they give the same thing: "Another expansion for The Sims". The overall score is 80%, with a remarkable score for the (according to many people outdated) graphics: 10/10.
