841. New poll again

Written on Thursday 27 June 2002 at 02:15 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Like every early thursday morning, we change the poll at this site. This week's poll is: What's the best in The Sims? Do you like to build houses or areas, furnish them, running or ruining the lifes of sims, or maybe even killing them? Or are you just a downloader and do you spend more time downloading than playing the game? Or maybe you're one of the artists who likes to just make and design extras? Have your say on the right or on this page. As for last week's poll: most people play 2 or 3 neighbourhoods regularly. 43 of 100 voted that. 33% voted that they play only 1 hood regularly. Strange enough, 4 people said they don't play any hood. However, 8 people are very active and play more than 15 neighbourhoods - or at least they say they do. 6% plays 4 or 5 hoods, while 5 people said they play between 6 and 10 neighbourhoods regularly. We wish everyone fun (not) playing so many neighborhoods, and ask you all to vote again this week on the right or here.

842. The Neighborhood Handler 3.8 here!

Written on Sunday 23 June 2002 at 16:03 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Those who have not registered to the TNHH group can now also get version 3.8 of The Neighborhood Handler. This new version was released to the group a week ago, and now everybody can work with this improved version. There are many fixes when it comes to previews of houses, areas and families. Indeed, families are now also previewed, including family member names, picture and biography. I don't think there will be another 3.x version for The Neighborhood Handler. The next version will be 4.0, and I've got quite a few changes in my mind for that. You can download the latest TNHH version from this page. Read More!

843. Sims earn a lot

Written on Thursday 20 June 2002 at 02:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Our research has given us some proof that Sims are generally quite rich: most earn over 1000 per day of work. This we can conclude from last week's poll that was held on this site. Of the 168 people who voted, 72 said that their most-earning sim earns over 1000 per day. With 32 votes, earnings between 250 and 500 is second in line, followed by 500 to 750 per day (27 votes). Only 5 of the players who voted have poor Sims (or they use cheats): their richest Sim earn 100 or less a day. The full report can be read here.

This week we are wondering how many neighbourhoods you still actively play. Please tell us by voting on the right or on this page.

844. The Sims and SimGolf in NY Times

Written on Wednesday 19 June 2002 at 21:51 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The New York Times had featured The Sims and SimGolf recently. This newspaper describes what the games are like and what's so fun to play - including playing it the bad way:

"While you may choose to make the goal of the game acquiring money or making friends, all that is really expected is that you keep your characters alive, and even that is optional. In fact, the game is a lot of fun to play badly. I remember when I moved five people into a one-bedroom house. Without enough beds, characters slept standing up or simply collapsed. The ever-occupied bathroom meant that no one could ever bathe, and garbage piled up everywhere. Finally everyone was too depressed to go to work, the money ran out and they all starved to death."

There's nothing really new there for the fans of The Sims, but it's still a nice read. Currently SimGolf is set to be released late June or early July still in this year in Europe. But as we know it's been delayed quite a couple of times, and you never know what will happen when it comes near to the actual date. The official SimGolf website has posted the article, which you can find exactly here.

845. TSO Best Simulation Game

Written on Wednesday 19 June 2002 at 21:46 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The Sims Online has been given the award for the best Simulation game of the E3 awards. It was also a runner-up in the category "Best Online Multiplayer". This in the official E3 awards which we mentioned here. The game was nominated in 3 categories: "Best of Show", "Best Original Game" and "Best Simulation Game". This is a bit of what they had to say about TSO:

"Is Will Wright a genius? Or is he just the one-man advance team for an alien race, sapping our energies with games that gleefully absorb more and more of our time, until we're helpless to resist their ruthless march toward galactic rule? There's evidence for both in The Sims Online, which takes the sitcom ingenuity of The Sims and turns it into a reality TV soap opera."

847. SimDay Report: More E3

Written on Thursday 13 June 2002 at 11:21 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

In this week's SimDay there isn't a lot of new stuff: just more links to E3 articles about The Sims Online or The Sims on PS2. For instance, an article at The Gamer's Temple about The Sims (PS2):

"Probably the biggest aspect of The Sims, though, is the interactions of the various Sims with each other. Sims are social animals, and need friends to be happy. Sims love meeting new Sims, forging friendships, going on dates, and, of course, parties. A wide circle of friends leads to a happy Sim who does well at home and at work. If your Sim has a very good relationship with another Sim, they can be married and even have children."

You can find a link to that article, and all others over here.

849. New TSO Preview

Written on Tuesday 11 June 2002 at 12:25 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

GamePen has posted a preview of The Sims Online at the E3. It describes how the stand at the E3 was set up, and of course also the game:

"The first thing I noticed was just how similar the game was to Sims 1.0. The interface remains virtually unchanged, although there are some new items that will let you gauge your popularity and standing in the world. You'll start out in the game world with just enough money to buy some land and approximately three household items. Afterwards, you'll have to work for everything that you own and move up the social ladder."

To read the whole preview (2 pages), check out this page.

850. The Neighborhood Handler 3.8 coming!

Written on Saturday 8 June 2002 at 14:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Coming soon to The Sims Zone: The Neighborhood Handler 3.8! I've been working on it again lately, and improved quite a few things, fixed bugs, and I'm now getting it ready for its release. It will still be a little while before it's all ready for the release, as there is still some work to be done for it. A lot has already been done though, and so I think I can release the program to the tnhh group in about a week. Another week later, it'll be released here. If you want to join the group for free, and so get the new version earlier than anyone else, visit the Neighborhood Handler Site. Read More!
