Play Sims Games Online

159627089_cbab5c5728.jpg

Everyone’s always emailing me and asking “how do I play sims online?!”  The answer is that you can’t.

I wrote about this back in May and was pretty testy about the whole deal but I’ve calmed since then and I guess I can’t blame you for trying.  So, for those of you who want to play Sims online for free I present to you this link. [Click where it says “this link”]

OK.  That’s a bit of a joke.  They’re Sims 2 online mini games to take some of the sting out of not being able to download Sims 2 online for free legally.

But don’t go away angry.  Friday I have a big giveaway to announce just to reward you for putting up with all of my crap.  I really do appreciate you’re emails, so keep them coming…even if they are about wanting to play Sims 2 for free.

Harvest Recipe Cookbook 2008

leafpile_boy.png

It’s Autumn and the leaves around here have finally taken on the reds, oranges and yellows that this awesome season [my favorite] is known for.  Another thing that Autumn is known for is its food.  Actually, I guess it’s better known for Thanksgiving and Christmas but I think about the food.

I guess the people at Sims2.com feel the same way because they have a “Harvest Recipe Cookbook 2008” going on right now.

You have to submit your recipe in the story format and the recipe has to be a real, edible recipe.  They quit taking submissions on the 20th of November so hurry up and get your favorite sim to make your favorite holiday dish.

Click here to go to the recipe page.

Sims Cash Card

Sims Cash CardLooking for that perfect gift for your favorite Simmer?

Are you looking for awesome Maxis created custom content for cheap?

Look no further than the Sims Cash Card.

The card can be purchased from Walmart and 7-Eleven [anyone else find that odd?] and come in 10 dollar increments which will buy you 1k SimPoints at the Sims 2 Store.

Right now tons of things are 75% off and new holiday items are being added.

You can also redeem the cards to download a new Sims game.

I haven’t seen them around our local Walmarts yet but they are available so keep looking.

Drive Cars WITHOUT Nightlife!

nightlifeI know that there are some of you out there who still don’t have the Nightlife expansion.  I’m not quite sure since I would put it in my “must have” list of expansion packs.  But the point of this post isn’t to lecture you on why you should have Nightlife.

The point of this post is to let you know that there is a way to drive cars WITHOUT Nightlife!

Surprised?  So was I.

The trick is to download the add-on that Numenor created.

The way it works is that you have to have an expansion or stuff pack other than University Life.  Then you download the add-on and follow the instructions found here.

It’s that simple.  Now, get to drivin’!

Tweet

TwitterIf you don’t know what Twitter is then you are majorly behind the curve and you’re gonna have to hurry to catch up.

Think of Twitter as a worldwide IM.  In 140 characters or less you let the world know what you’re doing, thinking, considering doing, eating, watching on TV…etc.

You “follow” people who you think are interesting and they “follow” you back if they think you’re cool.  Just because you follow someone that doesn’t mean that they have to follow you back and vice versa.

The reason I bring Twitter to you [other than it just being damn cool] is that Sims 2 and Sim 3 are now on Twitter.  Follow them to get game updates and news.

Click here to follow Sims 2.

Click here to follow Sims 3.

Tire Swing

Tire Swing

There’s nothing quite like swinging in the backyard on an old tire swing.

Sure, a regular swing might be a bit cleaner but did was your regular swing an essential component of vehicular transportation?

I didn’t think so.

To catch some nostalgia of your very own, click here to download the swing.

A Phial Of Transperasim

phial-of-transperasim.png

Your sims didn’t drink the Death Potion, but you still want him to look dead?

Try a Phial Of Transperasim.

Quite honestly, I’m not sure if this can be undone since I haven’t had a chance to try this one out myself so you might want to test it on a sim you don’t mind being transparent for the rest of their “life”.

This would be a great thing to use to make a “ghost” of your sims in your Halloween movie.  Think of the possibilities!

Click here to download.
