Freebie Friday - The Sims 2 - Spore Outfits

I took some of the content from the fansite kit in the previous post to create goodies for The Sims 2. Took me a lot longer than I thought, too, unfortunately, since I ended up redoing many of the shoes and recreating the womens shirt. But I hate leaving anything half done or looking icky, so there it is. It is available at The Sims Resource. I hope you like these outfits because, now that they're finished, I sure do!

Update: I've decided to host the Sims 2 Freebies on box.net for download every week until they get permanently placed. That way, sites who host my work can approve them or whatever at their pace and you can get the content every Friday. Once they get a permanent home, I'll update the links here. This means that people who come to my site every Friday from now on will get them BEFORE everyone else. Hooray!

Thanks for waiting!

New Spore Fansite Kit Released--Or Is It?!

I wanted to make a bigger post today, mostly about Warcraft's 2.4 patch that was released yesterday, but I just didn't have the time. So, instead, I'll post about this Spore fansite kit hosted at gamershell.com. I came to it by way of Spores Illustrated, and while no one can agree whether or not Maxis put it out, the content it contains is pretty sweet. GameVillage also has a download, but you have to register to get it.

Oh, yeah, I almost forgot--I did manage to make this little widget today that shows you the days, minutes, and seconds left until Spore is available. Grab a copy for yourself.

Spore Magazine Article & Will Wright Interview

The Spore fansite Xspore.com posted that the British magazine Total PC Gaming has a huge and marvelous article on Spore which includes an interview with developer Thomas Vu. I wish I could score a copy for myself as the article's colorful design and illustrations are impressive, and it would make a great keepsake for any Spore fan.

Some of the highlights beyond the artwork include:

• An overview of Spore's five phases.


• Influences on Will Wright that affected the outcome of Spore.


• Snippets of basic game play.


• An interview with Thomas Vu, EA Producer.

Also, Hooked on Spore reports about a fascinating interview with Will Wright himself on Australian Broadcasting Corporation's "Good Game." He talks about Sim City and his inspirations for his games with the focus of the interview being on Spore.

After watching the show & reading the article, I felt as if I knew enough to pick up the game right now & start playing it. Oh, if only I could... Less than six months left and counting down!

Freebie Friday - Sim City 4 - Petting Zoo

I guess these Freebie Fridays are becoming a regular thing. Which isn't bad, exactly. I'm getting to make content that I want to make for my games, and getting to share it with you! Isn't that a nice deal. So, this Freebie Friday is for one of my favorite games, Sim City 4. I bring you Alien Ann's Happy Petting Zoo .

This petting zoo is so incredibly happy that every animal in it is a shining beacon of health and wonder and every child leaves crying--because they don't want to go. It's a ploppable petting zoo (1x1 recreation lot), ideal for your rural sims. Comes complete with goat pen, barn o' fun, fluffy doggy, refreshment stand, and coin-op horse for the little sims. Lamp fixture and bushes will vary.
