The Sims 2 Series
Downloads (objects, walls, etc) page available for The Sims 2
Jan 3rd
I use to do a lot of content work for The Sims 1 and The Sims 2 back in the early days. I use to have some of the items hosted on this site, but I’ve always had bandwidth issues in the past. Now that we are on brand new servers with a lot of space, I can finally begin to compile them and bring them back! Of course, I don’t know how many would be interested in these, considering The Sims 3 is where everyone is at. But it’s nice to have things back on one site again!
The Sims 1 section is open, but I have about 200+ items left to add to it. However, I just finished adding all of my custom content for The Sims 2. Check out whats available on this page.

MCV – Future of The Sims – Interview with Rod Humble
Oct 4th
InfiniteSims picked up a new interview with Rob Humble by MCV highlighting the future of The Sims Series:
THE SIMS MAY BE TEN YEARS OLD, BUT HOW WILL IT EVOLVE DURING THE NEXT DECADE? REED ASKS HUMBLE…
Where do you see The Sims brand going over the next few years? What do you have to do to maintain its success?
The team sees The Sims evolving through theme, time and space. We also continue to maintain quality of gameplay as our North Star. The series has already seen a vastly significant evolution over the last decade, what with so many expansions and things like MySims.

Sorry about missing last week’s chart! As you can see above, The Sims 3 is still holding on strong (as well as The Sims 2) . On the budget price list, we have The Sims 3 High-End Loft Stuff coming in at #2.

Lady Gaga – Dance in the Dark (Sims 2 Machinima)
Aug 10th
I couldn’t exactly make it thru this whole video – I find Lady Gaga to be annoying, actually. So I do apologize if there is any adult-related content found in here. I tried watching it, but just like Lady Gaga, I couldn’t really make sense of it and felt strange after watching a minute of it. Regardless, I’d still like to give a congrats to Fersito as he is a very talented artist.

Of course, Starcraft II is #1 again, and more than likely will be for a long time to come, but at least The Sims series is holding strong and will end up reclaiming their top spot.

Without a doubt to anybody’s surprise, Starcraft II took the #1 spot, bumping down several games – including all those in The Sims franchise. Oh, as for The Sims 3 High End Loft Stuff, it’s #3 in the Budget Price Listing.

PC Authority – Top 10 geek entertainment franchises
Jun 20th
Have to love top 10 lists…except when they screw it up! Credit is given for the fact that I agree with the majority of their choices…But I think Will Wright should rank higher and Doctor Who should be swapped out with Star Trek for the number one spot. Sorry Will, but I have to pick the Tardis over you :P Here’s what PC Authority had to say about our beloved (4th placed) Will Wright on their Top 10 geek entertainment franchises list:
Iain Thomson: I like the fact that Wright is on the list because most of his input has been towards making computer games something for building things up rather than tearing them down.
Wright was the creator of SimCity and its future generations, games that really focussed on building good things. It’s an easy jibe, but a true one, that most computer games are built around the concept of “If it moves, shoot it. If it doesn’t, shoot it until it does.” Wright’s work took that focussed energy and moving it to building things – first cities and then people.
Wright’s attempt to tie his entire history of computer games into the Spore release was understandable but looks like a hubris-inspired mistake. We wait to see what comes out of him next.
Shaun Nichols: I grew up in that uncomfortable era when companies were pushing educational software to schools, but they hadn’t yet figured out that ‘educational’ didn’t have to mean ‘boring.’ Other than the occasional Ted Nugent buffalo hunting trip in Oregon Trail, the most entertaining thing we did with educational games was poke stuff in the disk drive until it started making funny sounds.
Then when I was in 3rd grade or so, a friend showed me Sim City. As with any great game, we played it for hours without even realising we were learning anything. Needless to say, my mother was more than a bit surprised when I came home and asked her about zoning laws and power grids.
Even more impressive is that nearly 20 years later, it’s still fun to fire up an emulator and replay SimCity and other Will Wright games. That is the hallmark of a great game; easy enough for young children to learn and deep enough for adults to still enjoy. Wright is the master at that.
