651. Makin' Magic goes Gold

Written on Wednesday 8 October 2003 at 12:26 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

With just 2 weeks to go before Makin' Magic is released, the final expansion pack has gone gold (i.e. it's in production now). It will definitely be released on 28 October in the US, and a few days later (31 October) in Europe - just in time for halloween. If you want more info about this expansion pack, check out the Game Info page at the Official site. You can read more in this press release. You can find two new screenshots (one with a lot of snakes, another with some dressing up) at SimsZone.de. If you can't find them, look for "Hokus Pokus" on the right and scroll down to the screenshots.

652. Bustin' Out Clip

Written on Wednesday 1 October 2003 at 00:01 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

"The Sims are Bustin' Out of the House" is how a new movie of Bustin' Out starts. It's a trailer which shows many of the new features, objects and interactions in about 1 minute. It has some images we've seen in earlier movies, but also quite a few brand new things. The game will be released 16 December in the US, and 3 days later in Europe, on PS2, GameCube, GBA and X-Box. The PS2 version will have online support, while the GameCube and GBA versions will have connectivity options between each other which will allow exchanging objects and interactions. To download the trailer, which is close to 6 Mb, click here. Thanks to WorthPlaying for releasing it. You'll need QuickTime to play the video, after extracting it with WinZip or a similar program.

As promised I've added a new feature to The Sims Zone: RSS Feeds. It took us a while to get it right, but it seems to be working fine now. These feeds (also known as RDF feeds) allow you to quickly get the latest headlines from The Sims Zone without having to visit this site. All you have to get is an RSS reader like FeedDemon or FeedReader, and add the proper urls to the reader. Then the reader will keep you up-to-date immediately. We currently have two feeds, one for the latest news and one for the community news. If you're already familiar with RSS, you can use these urls (note: these are NOT meant to be viewed by your web browser!):

News: http://www.thesimszone.co.uk/rss/news.rss (Validate) Community News: http://www.thesimszone.co.uk/rss/cnews.rss (Validate)

If you want to know more about RSS and our feeds, then visit our RSS page. There you can find a lot more detailed information about how to use these feeds. You can always access that page by clicking the "RSS" buttons under News and Community News. Please post your comments and give us feedback about it. If you want to see the latest headlines and more in the side panel of your browser without having to visit The Sims Zone, you can still get our TSZ Sidebar.

658. New Poll

Written on Thursday 14 August 2003 at 23:48 by Steve - 0 comments.

As we do every Thursday we have changed the poll here at The Sims Zone. This week we are asking you "Where do your Sims usually go on holiday?" You can vote on the right of this page, or by clicking here.

Last week we asked you, "How many expansions do you expect will come for The Sims 2?" We would like to thank the 263 people who voted. You can see the results here, but here is a quick rundown: The clear winner of this poll with just over 50% of the votes was you thought The Sims 2 would have more than 7 expansion packs. 16% think it will have 7 expansions, the same as The Sims 1. The other results are all pretty close, with the following order: 4 expansions (23 votes), 3 expansions (18 votes), 5 expansions (14 votes), 6 and 0 were equal 6th with 12 votes. 7 people thought there would be 2 expansion packs, and only 2 people thought there would be 1 expansion pack for The Sims 2.

659. Download Submissions

Written on Saturday 9 August 2003 at 23:02 by Steve - 0 comments.

Recently I have received several submissions for The Sims Zone. However, due to technical problems (of the data loss kind) I no longer have these on my system. If you have submitted a download in the last couple of weeks please could you e-mail me with your submission again. I will get back to you as soon as possible. I would like to appologise for this error on my part.

Having said this however, I have just added a new object, the Green Loveseat. This chair is great for watching "late night movies with your girlfriend/boyfriend." To download this file click here. Or, to download other objects click here.

If you would like to submit a file to The Sims Zone, please read the submissions page, which contains all the information you will need. All submissions I receive are added to The Sims Zone, assuming you follow the submission guidelines. We really appreciate all your submissions, you are also helping other people enjoy The Sims even more, by adding to their game.

660. New Poll

Written on Thursday 7 August 2003 at 22:58 by Steve - 0 comments.

It's Thursday and that means two things, SimDay and the poll change here at The Sims Zone. With the latest expansion pack for The Sims 1 coming out soon this will take us to seven expansion packs for The Sims. So, this week we are asking you how many expansion packs you think The Sims 2 will have. You can vote on the right of this page, or by going here.

Of course, with the new poll, it also means the results of the old poll are in. Last week we asked you, "Which name is better: Makin' Magic, or Spellbound?" We received 354 votes, and the result was incredibly close, only 1% between the top two answers. Spellbound was your favourite name (151 votes), with Makin' Magic receiving just 4 votes less (147). 29 people didn't know what we were talking about, and 9 people did not like either name for the new expansion pack.
