I don’t know how many of you have tickets to the New Moon premiere tonight [I'll be seeing the 12:02am showing, thank you very much] but, based on the reactions that Edward Cullen and Jacob Black got, I’m going to assume that there will be a few of you watching the movie tonight.
In “celebration” of the movie hitting the big screen tonight, EA has come out with a New Moon spoof that has got to be seen to be believed.
Just like all of their other spoofs, it’s a bit irreverent and funny and since it’s not that long [just over …read more

Brad had the perfect life but apparently being presented with the new found ability to travel the world and experience new places [and women] corrupted Brad because Brad became a lech.
The new “creator” series of videos for World Adventures are cracking me up and this video is a perfect example of the possibilities that World Adventures will present to your Sims – the possibility to meet new people from all over the world and have a world full of Sims really pissed off at your Sim.
Because it was just too damn easy to have that happen in your own neighborhood.
For …read more

It’s Sunday and on Sundays, I like to basically chill out and catch up on TV episodes that I’ve missed from the past week and watch YouTube videos. As you can tell, I live a very exciting life.
When I’m on YouTube, I always search “Sims” or “Sims 3″ to see what new and exciting stuff has popped up. Sometimes it’s good stuff and sometimes it’s utter crap. But, it is YouTube so that’s really the nature of the beast, isn’t it?
Anyway, with World Adventures hitting next week, I’ve been kind of surprised at the lack of World Adventures trailers. But, …read more

A couple of weeks ago, I bought a lot in my Sims 3 game that is haunted.
They don’t cause too much trouble…well…just don’t count levitating the fridge…and they come in all of these pretty colors. I didn’t think much of it until I saw this video that shows how the ghosts got their colors.

Starvation: purple
Drowning: blue with water dripping
Fire: Orange with flames
Electrocution: yellow with lightning bolts
Old Age: Grey

Now, instead of looking at my ghost Sims like [sometimes] bothersome trumped up lawn ornaments, I actually feel a little bit bad for the transparent ghosties.
And then, because it came up as a …read more

I know that I’ve said a few times that I don’t plan on running right out and buying World Adventures when it hits stores next month. And, I still don’t plan on pre-ordering the game or anything but this video from IGN has made me much more interested than I have been in the past.
For some reason, the fact that the zombies can curse you adds a new degree of interest. I’m also interested in the fact that there seems to be some directed play in the expansion. While I love the free-form nature of Sims 3, I often find …read more

I have for you a 2009 Lexus IS F for your Sims 3 to drive around.
First off, what graphics card is Fresh-Prince using? How freakin’ awesome does this screenshot look?!
This car is going to set your Sims back $58,000 but is completely worth it when you look at house wonderful this car is.
I’ve downloaded this Lexus but haven’t had a chance to play it in-game yet so my next two statements are assumptions.
Since it’s not stated that the headlights don’t work, then I’m going to assume that they work in this car. Also, I assume that the car is recoulorable …read more

GamesCom is to Europe what E3 is to the US and this year, GamesCom attendees got a nice big taste of what’s to come with World Adventures, the first expansion for Sims 3.
You can pre-order the expansion right now from the Sims 3 website and when you get the expansion, you’ll also get $10 worth of SimsPoints that you can use to buy cool things from The Sims 3 Store.
In addition to the free SimsPoints, you’ll also get to learn new skills that are only available with the expansion and you’ll be able to customize your Sims’ homes with stuff …read more

I know you’re doing the happy dance since it’s not too long [Nov 16th] until World Adventures hits store shelves for Sims 3. Actually, if you’re like me, you’re waiting around to see if all of the brouhaha is really going to pay out or if this is going to be a lame expansion. If it’s lame, then you’ll pat yourself on the back for having saved your money and if it rocks…well…you’ll kick yourself and then go out and get the expansion.
SO, I see no harm in sitting back to see what everyone thinks about the expansion. Heck, I …read more

I actually downloaded a lot more than this, but, these three are easiest to show you.
All of these downloads came from Lostaccount on Mod the Sims.

Faster potty training – comes in two speeds: 4x and 10x with 10x meaning that your toddler will master potty training on the first try
Faster walking – this one comes in two speeds as well: 4x and 10x with 10x meaning that your toddler masters walking super fast
Faster talking – again, two speeds: 4x and 10x…you get the idea

I downloaded all of these to my desktop and then installed them using the Helper Monkey and …read more

I love this song. LOVE it.
I also love it when people make machinima out of songs I like so how could I NOT like this video. It’s a bit depressing but then again, the song can be a bit depressing depending on how you interpret it.
I like how the director framed the opening shots and really made a complete story in just a couple of minutes. I won’t ruin the ending for you but it is pretty depressing. Still good, but depressing.
