We have so many things about The Sims 2 that we want to show to you, the only way to do it was to create a whole new web site for it. So here we are!
Instead of setting up just another fan site for the new game with the same screen shots, we want to explore behind the scenes and provide you with some more detail on what The Sims 2 means to you as a Sims fan, an artist, or a webmaster in the Sims community.
We are still gathering information, making graphics, and writing essays in all the subjects listed in the menu at the left. The lighter colored links point to sections of the site that aren't ready yet, but the darker links are areas where we have explored the subject enough that we can keep you informed with update announcements.
We hope you enjoy our little fan site for The Sims 2!
A Brief Synopsis of the Plot So Far
In the year 2000 Maxis released their phenomenal computer game, The Sims, and watched as it sold 6.4 million copies by early 2002 to become the best-selling computer game of all time.
Now, four years and seven expansion packs later, they are working on the final stages of developing the first entirely new game based on The Sims.
Relying heavily on the basic concepts of The Sims, the new game promises to enhance your experience with The Sims in nearly every way. The characters' personalities are more complete, their lives are richer, the graphical environment has caught up with new developments in the computers we use, and with the new 3-dimensional universal that the characters live in you can get up close and personal with your characters.
Moving into the 3D World
From all we have seen and heard, The Sims 2 promises to be a major advance in the state of the art, not just in the world of The Sims, but in the whole industry of representing people in 3D computer games. Like its predecessor, the game will give us a look behind the scenes of the heroes, villains, and innocents that populate other games, this time in even more vibrant detail.
Use the links in the main menu at the left to explore what we've learned about The Sims 2 and where we think the game is going. If you'd like to visit the official site, just click on the words "The Sims 2" anywhere they appear in these essays.
Many of the artists who contribute to the fan sites here on SimsHost are eagerly preparing their tools and honing their skills in anticipation of the new version of the game. While you are waiting for its release, we hope you will enjoy our preview of The Sims 2.
