13. The Sims Turns Ten

Written on Thursday 4 February 2010 at 20:45 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Ten years ago the first edition of The Sims saw the daylight, after several years of development by Will Wright and his team. In the meantime we've seen two more sequels, various spin-offs, Sims games on any platform you can game on and of course a ton of expansion and stuff packs. The Sims team is celebrating by giving away some freebies. The Sims is a hugely successful franchise; expansion packs often top the sales charts, resulting in over $2.5 billion in revenue to date. From its launch in 2000 to 2004, The Sims was the best selling PC game worldwide; The Sims 1 for the first four years, The Sims 2 in 2004. The Sims 3 was EA's biggest launch ever, with 1.4 million copies sold in the first week, again being the best selling game of the year worldwide. Congratulations, EA!

14. The Sims Zone 8 Years Old!

Written on Wednesday 18 November 2009 at 09:22 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

Eight years and one day ago The Sims Zone launched. At 17 November 2001 (well in the days of the Sims 1) we launched this site. Since then many things have changed, others have remained the same. One thing that definitely has never changed, is our dedication to the Sims series. We've seen the Sims 2 come and go, and now the Sims 3 is there with its first expansion pack released this week. We'll continue to provide you with the latest and greatest around this franchise - from downloads to news and reviews, including a World Adventures review soon. Some other major changes are currently being planned, and should be executed in the next year - we'll keep you posted, of course. I want to thank all team members - current and past - for their dedication to The Sims Zone. And of course all our visitors. Let's add another couple of years (and more) to it, together!
