Sims Gamer blogger, Amy Tucker is moving right now.  So, I’m filling in for her for a couple days. In honor of Amy’s move to her new house , I bring to you these videos of different types of homes in Sims 2.  Check out these Sims 2 houses:

My husband is a HUGE fan of I Can Has Cheezburger [http://icanhascheezburger.com]. I’m not exactly sure why since he’s not such a big fan of cats but he’ll waste plenty of time looking at cute kitties with funny captions. *sigh*
If you go to the Sims 2 website [http://thesims2.ea.com/] you’ll find a couple of funny SIMS 2 examples which made me laugh. I’ve posted one of my favorites below but I also chuckled at the cow tipping picture.
I mean, come on! It’s the weekend! Who doesn’t need a chuckle?

Are your Sims’ baby things getting a bit tired and boring?
Do you yearn for more true-to-life baby and kid things?
Hopebayler has made some cool [if a little industrial] baby furniture and they all work [they're not just statues].
If the default color isn’t your style then you can find recolors at this link. The recolors offered are pink and blue and everything [including the diaper bag] have been recolored and look pretty cool.
Here are the things that babies and toddlers gain from using the objects:
Animated Jumparoo-They jump and gain fun
Animated Swing-Fun gained in swinging back and forth
Playmat-For infant only, gain is …read more

Maybe I was the only one who wasn’t wondering how the Sims 3 would be protected [from hackers and warez people]?
I assumed that when I got my copy of Sims 3 from EA that it would have an annoying long code to enter just like all of the other Sims games that I’ve installed.
Sure Sims 3 is supposed to be THE game and is supposed to be the cool that cool is based on and all of that but it’s not like I expected it to come wrapped in barbed wire and have a body guard. [Though how cool would …read more

Easter isn’t too far away and I feel that everyone should be visited by the Easter Bunny. To get the Social Bunny [the Easter Bunny's overly happy cousin] to show up, you have to pretty much deprive your Sim of any sort of contact and that can take a lot of time and a lot of patience.
I’m a “I want it right now” kind of girl and not to mention that the Social Bunny is just too chipper for me. That and he doesn’t give you anything other than a hard time for being sad/crazy.
So, here [click here], have an …read more

Who wants boring old onesies for their brilliant progeny? Not me.
Even when I’m outfitting my Sims’ kids, I still want cool and original clothes to make them stand out from the rest. And, let’s admit it, all of the Sims babies look the same so it’s nice to be able to easily find yours if you’ve scheduled a play date for your Sims.
Fakepeeps7 has made six different versions of an adorable “Little Llama Baby Outfit”. With six different colors, you’re bound to find at least one that will suit your needs.
Note that this is an “override” and it will replace …read more

If you’ve been a long time reader of Sims Gamer then I’m sure that you’ve noticed a “face lift” of sorts.
Sims Gamer has been moved over to EveryJoe.com but is still the wonderful, informative, amazing, fun…[you get the idea] blog that it’s always been.
What’s changed?
Well the header, for one. And I must say that I LOVE it.
I think that the whole layout looks great and is an improvement over what I had before. Also, I’ve picked up a couple of “category” blogs: Spirits and Cigars and I’m contributing to the Gaming category.
Think of this as Sims Gamer but with new …read more

Believe it or not, Spring isn’t that far away I know that some of you are just itching to get your Sims into something short and sassy.
Phoenix42793 has been gone from Mod the Sims2 for a while but she’s come back with a bang with this great outfit in six colors.

I was going to write about modeling hacks for you guys to download but then I checked my email box and found answers to questions that you guys had for a Sims 3 developer.  The first few are questions that I had and the ones from you guys are attributed to the asker.
I want to thank all of you who took the time to ask questions and to thank Grant Rodiek, Associate Producer for The Sims 3 for his answers.

What do you think is the biggest improvement that Sims 3 brings?
I’d say unique Sims, the neighborhood, and the creative tools.
With …read more
