The Sims 2 is Here!

The long wait is over! The Sims 2 is arriving in mailboxes and stores throughout the world! Is your system ready? Check out the System Requirements section at The Sims 2 at SimsHost for all the details.

The sites we host already have lots of downloads for The Sims 2! You can review past issues of the SimsHost Chronicle for update notices, or go directly to these sites for some great Sims 2 stuff: Carrot Stuff, It's Simply Similiciious, Hans Christian Andersim 2, Mocha Sims, Pompkyn's Sims Boutique, Sexpot Sims, Simly Male Style, The Sim Republic, and Yuppie Sims.

Trollops & Johns fans will be happy to know that you can play T&J with The Sims 2 right out of the box. The only change to the rules we have found is that you need to shorten the game time for a round to 28 sim days to account for the again factor. (Your sims will become elderly in 29 game days unless you turn off aging.)

JustSimming

Quite a respectable update this time! Some more recolours and a brand-new hacked toilet and sink, in the Clotted Cream Bathroom. I've put my name down for Sims College so hopefully there will be many more hacked items coming soon! Also some Dressers for Superstar, Bronze Superstar spiral staircase, Wooden Vacation Hot Tub, Turquoise Sims 1 kitchen, a couple of posters from the 1920's, a few new walls and floors and the Crappy Set -- cheap living room furniture for lower-class Sims.

September Update by JustSimming

The Amazing Second Anniversary Mall Maze Continues

We firmly deny the rumors that several sims have managed to get lost somewhere in our Second Anniversary Mall Maze and are now foraging the shops for food and clothing. However, we can attest that several thousand sims fans have succeeded in collecting all the goodies on the shopping list!

Webmasters and artists from more than a dozen sites collaborated for weeks to create the SimsHost Mall Maze especially for you! Even if you don't have your SimsHost subscription yet, you can still experience the adventure and download many of the goodies you will find in the wacky mall!

Unlike our previous treasure hunts, this adventure is a self-contained web site all to itself -- designed, built, maintained, and hosted by Candace's Sim Bazaar!

The Answer to High-Priced Subscription Sites

With your one SimsHost subscription, you support the hosting costs for all the sites we host and enjoy new additions that continue to surpass all the stand-alone subscription sites combined with your one low-cost subscription to SimsHost! That's why we created SimsHost in June 2002 when we ran out resources to host sites for free on the Moon Sims server, and it's working great!

More than two years ago we opened with two dozen founding sites. On that day, SimsHost instantaneously became by far the largest Sims site in the world offering the best value in subscription sites.

Today we host more than seventy fantastic sites for The Sims, the sites are bigger, and the service just keeps getting better! Taken collectively, the SimsHosted sites are still the largest site the The Sims in the world, yet we continue to be able to bring all these sites to you at a subscription cost that's half what you have to pay for the least expensive stand-alone sites.

Our heartfelt thanks to all our subscribers, webmasters, and artists for making it such a wonderful year! We will continue to endeavor to make the next year even better for you!

When a site's banner appears in the upper right-hand corner of the SimsHost home page, you can click on the image to go directly to that site!

We know that we host so many sites with so much stuff for The Sims that it's easy to get lost and overlook some sites that you want to visit, so we hope this helps!

Still the Biggest, Still the Best

Now the we are in our third terrific year, we thought you would like to know that the sites hosted by SimsHost taken collectively are still by far the largest site for The Sims in the world. Well, in all ways but one: We still have the lowest subscription cost of any site.

Continuing subscribers are still paying only $2.00 a month (plus about a tenth of a penny per download on the average). That's about a third the cost of a typical stand-alone subscription site, for access to a hundred times as many downloads. We are pleased and proud to be able to do this while allowing each site to retain its own individual personality, even as SimsHost continues to grow.

On behalf of all the webmasters and artists we host, we sincerely thank you for your support in helping to keep all the sites for The Sims on line!
