I’ve said before that the Pets expansion for Sims 2 stressed me out – too much going on with not enough control. But I always enjoyed the actual creating part of Pets.

There are just so many freakin’ things you can do without any custom content just by tweaking the sliders or the color or whatever. Lots of time wasted creating dogs and cats I hated playing.

Amjoie has stepped the Pets game up a couple of notches with these Wild Breeds for Sims 2.

Now these aren’t real sheep and foxes and deer. Your sheep and dear aren’t going to graze on the lawn and the foxes and wild cats aren’t going to eat each other but they look like the real thing.

On the Overview page there are a couple of links for default replacements that were used to make these guys so make sure you check that out and there are also instructions on where to place the downloads.

If the average dog and cat just aren’t your thing, click here to download Wild Breeds for Sims 2.

Disney is known for its memorable cartoon characters and Tarzan is one that’s pretty unforgettable.
Maybe it’s his childlike kindness and charm or maybe it’s his hot body [I can say that about a cartoon character, right?] but whatever “it” is, the movie remains a favorite of many children AND adults.
And if you’re one of those fans, you’ll be happy to know Claeric has created a very true to life cartoon version of Tarzan for your Sims 3 game.
Since Tarzan obviously looks A LOT different than your average Sim, slider hacks were used to create Tarzan and you need to have …read more

Clean design is one of those things I find myself drawn to and the Chicago Living Room for Sims 2 has it in spades.
I know I haven’t featured much Sims 2 content but since I don’t have it installed on my system any longer, Sims 2 isn’t in the front of my rather cluttered brain. But then I find something like the Chicago living room and I remember just how much I like Sims 2.
This is a seven piece set made up of: sofa, love seat, arm chair, floor lamp, coffee table, end table and a shelf that goes around …read more

After playing though a couple of lifecycles as a chick and then a couple as a guy, I’ve decided it’s much easier to get what you want in Sims 3 as a guy than as a girl.
I played the daughter of the woman I talked about earlier in the month for quite a while and the poor girl couldn’t get a break in the love department. She was maxed on charisma, had the “good looking” or whatever lifetime reward, was great at “being inappropriate but in a good way” and she had tons of friends.
What she didn’t have was a …read more

If the “beach theme” is your speed then the Coconut Bedroom Collection for Sims 2 is exactly what you’ve been looking for.
Complete with 14 new meshes, you get all kinds of fun stuff.
The bed [obviously], a shelf, three different plants, an animated water fountain, a rug, a banana chandelier [how freakin' cool is that?!], blinds and an end table and I have a sneaking suspicion I’m leaving something out.
This download is base game compatible so if you never got into the Sims 2 expansions, this is right up your alley since you don’t have to have Night Life or anything …read more

French Country is an acquired taste or rather, you either like French Country or you don’t.
While I’m not a huge fan, I think this house is great and it’s worth a look even if you’re like me and don’t usually like French Country.
With this house you get three bedrooms and three baths along with the barn that has a loft.
If your Sims is a budding gardener, they’ll find everything they could ever want in this lot as it has orchards and a mature garden.
You can buy this lot either furnished – for 69,000 – or unfurnished – for 46,000.
The lot itself …read more

Drew Barrymore is one of those actresses most people can’t help but like.
She’s eclectic in her style and just comes across as genuine. Though I wouldn’t call her “beautiful” in a classic sense, she is “cute” and “attractive” and someone most can relate to.
There are several Sims 2 and Sim 3 Drew Barrymores out there and I’m sure a lot of them are fabulous but since I am a particular fan of Vera Marina, I can’t help but feature her Drew Barrymore for Sims 2.
There’s tons of custom content included in this download so check out the list on the …read more

Once I got Sims 3 and World Adventures loaded, I created a new Sim and started her off as an adult.
My Sim [Alessa] wanted to be a Master Gardener and I worked hard to get her there. Then, she fell in love with her cleaning guy.
In the past, when I would create a Sim, if I wanted to have a family, I always made sure to create a husband and wife pair. That way, I didn’t have to worry about my Sim meeting someone to fall in love with and I could just get started with the family.
I’ve never had …read more

Whatever happened to Natalie Imbruglia?
I know! She’s in your Sims 3 game!
Well…she is if you download her.
First she was an actress in a popular Australian soap and then she was a singer and now she’s an actress again since she was in a 2009 movie.
But none of that probably matters to you. What you probably remember is the music [if you were listening to music back when she hit big with Torn]. And now, you’ll remember her as a kick-ass Sim for Sims 3.
@Stefan used a facemask with this Sim but don’t be afraid; the mask is barely visible but …read more

Do you remember last week [or maybe it was last month] when I told you about a new expansion coming for Sims 3 and how a Sims game is coming to consoles sometime this year?
I remember writing it but don’t remember exactly when I wrote it and don’t want to go looking for it. BUT, I know I wrote it and the POINT is that I was right and I like it when I’m proven right; it makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside.
TradingMarkets.com has a graph that shows EA’s 2011 Fiscal Year plan and on that list are …read more
