It is with regret we say "au revoir" to three of our members of staff.
Ryan and
T J from "Objects" are both in Exam Years and need to focus on "real life" for a while.
William, who was one of our Lot Designers, has also left us due to outside commitments.
We wish all of our leavers well and thank them for the hard work that they have put in for the site. Their contributions have helped make this site become what it is today.
Good luck, guys, and stay in touch! We hope we haven't heard the last from you.
2275. New - Review Indexes!

Chances are that, now that Unleashed and the Deluxe edition are either out, or very nearly out (depending on where you live), more reviews are going to appear very quickly. Rather than clog up this news page with summaries and scores, however, I'm now putting all the review information on a separate pages. The review index for Unleashed can be found
over here, while the index for The Sims Deluxe can be found
right here.
Don't worry, though, I'll try to make sure I mention any updates to the page right here as well. For instance, I've added the GameSpot review of Unleashed, as well as the GameZone review of both. Be sure to take a look at the pages to see what they thought in each case! :)
2276. The Sims (PS2) Preview

In addition to the many reviews of the two new PC Sims products, there are still a few previews of the forthcoming PS2 version appearing. Guess that's what happens when it gets delayed until January 2003. huh? Still, you can calm your craving for the console version with a new preview over at GameSpot. Here's a little taste of it, talking about adapting the control system to the PS2 pad:
'You'll be able to do everything you could do with the mouse and keyboard in the PC version of The Sims using the PlayStation 2's controller. The two analog sticks let you rotate the camera and move the cursor, while the circle button collapses any walls or solid objects that you have highlighted to allow you to see as much of your surroundings as possible. The square button centers the camera on your selected sim, and the X button makes that sim interact with his or her surroundings. You can fast-forward time in The Sims for the PS2 using the R1 shoulder button, while R2 switches your control to nearby sims. Likewise, your motives, friendships, personality, and job requirements can all be accessed with the D pad, and by pressing pause, you can get to your buy, build, budget, and options menus. Longtime players of The Sims won't have any problems adjusting to this new control scheme, and those who've never played a single game in the series will find it quite intuitive.'
