Here's where the story ends...

Well, the Internet, if nothing else, is everchanging, and I've decided it's time for a personal change. I'm leaving About.com and ending my role as Guide of this site. I won't give a long-winded, heart-felt, melodramatic goodbye but will say that I have enjoyed my time here, especially my chance in getting to know many people through my role as Editor of the SCN and as Guide of the CompSimGames site.

Now, get out of here and go play...

Friday, April 13

Though Friday the 13th in the US is usually an unlucky day (especially for the supersitious), it's a good day for the SCN. I'm in discussions with a number of strong applicants for the SCN Editor's position and should announce this person soon. Thanks to all who have applied and, to our visitors, hang in there for a bit longer while we get back on track.

Sunday, April 8

Everything must change. That's the theme of today's SCN.

I had a semi-vacation from About.com while I digested some changes that were given to us on Thursday. These changes will have some editorial implications, namely that I'll no longer have the ability to bring you the SCN.

If you recall back in January, the previous editor, Kinsey, left and the SCN was in a transition state. Should it still go on? Should it be ended? Was there a place for it in the community? Once again, the same questions are raised.

I just don't have the resources to continue it alone. However, if someone would like to apply for the position as Editor of the SCN, please send me an email. The requirements (and the word "requirements" means these are mandatory) are knowledge of HTML (enough to update this page), burning interest in Maxis sims, especially The Sims, a positive attitude, and a willingness to volunteer.

I put up the news that Members have sent in. Hopefully, this isn't the end of the SCN, but a change...

SimFarm2, UrbanNights, SimIsland4

Dsims Nuts Party has announced two of its major releases for the next few months, UrbanNights and SimIsland4. SimFarm2 is already up for download at www.dsims2000.com.

UrbanNights was announced a few days ago, a night club for your sims. Not only does it look like a Night Club, it works in a very special way. UrbanNights brings users a program called SimGuide which teaches how to run businesses in The Sims. For example, this SimGuide version will teach users how to run restaurants.

SimGuide will be shown again in the second version of a bigger release, SimIsland4, the 4th version of a top downloaded hit (over 10,000 times already!). More information about SimIsland4 is at the SimFarm2 pack which you can download from www.dsims2000.com.

Robyn's Back at WDS

Thanks to Jamie Valenzuela for this news:

One of The Well Dressed Sim's most creative and talented might I add, master designers is back. Robyn has started a theme set called " Lovely Leopard Bedroom." This set includes a closet, couch, loveseat, table. mirror, coffeetable, rug, bed, endtable, lamp, curtains, shelf, dresser, and many paintings. My advice you should head down to The Well Dressed Sim! And of course download it.

New Fantasy Paintings

Celebrity Sims has added 15 new paintings today to the fantasy section. More were added to Fantasy/Misc., Unicorns, and I've created a special section for the Mermaids as well, with more Mermaid paintings.

Updates at Sim Depot

The Sim Depot has an assortment of new downloads. Their new object maker, Gypsy, has put together a set of 10 objects, all revolving around a lighthouse theme! There are also matching walls and floor tiles. More will be added to this fabulous set in the coming weeks.

Also, the fabulous and talented Linda has struck yet again, this time with 4 new House Party houses. The first one is called Ceremonial Island, which is a Hawaiian resort complete with a volcano! The second one is called Down on the Farm, which is a cozy, yet elegant western home, with a creek running through the backyard. Then there is Rock Castle, which is a large party hall, with one room for each theme in House Party (Hawaiian, Rave and Western) plus a large kitchen and bedroom. Finally, Dodge City is an old Western ghost town on 1 Simlane that truly brings back the old American West. Take a stroll down main street and you will see the old stables, bank, general store, saloon and the old town jail. A large house stands at the end of the street, just waiting for sims to bring Dodge City back to life. Dodge City is a truly unique house, and is one you do not want to miss.
