Do You Want to See a Movie Based on the Sims?

GeekSugar — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 07:30:16 PDT

I wasn't sure this idea was going to come to fruition, but it seems to be true: Not only is the movie based on the Sims video games a go, but a producer for the movie explained the concept for the film.

Apparently some kids get a "Sims Infinity Pack," and their actions in the Sim-world actually start happening. It could be somewhat interesting to see a thought that happens to most geeks play out on screen, but on the other hand, I might get confused watching the Sims and not being able to control anything. (What! They have conditioned me to control!) What do you think?

Geek Chic: The Sims 2 H&M® Fashion Stuff

GeekSugar — Mon, 18 Jun 2007 17:45:19 PDT

If you haven't noticed the ads for the new The Sims 2 H&M® Fashion Stuff across the Sugar Network recently I suggest you take a gander. The game allows you to dress up your Sims in H&M® clothing collections for men and women with The Sims 2 H&M® Fashion Stuff. Your Sims characters can choose from FabSugar-approved H&M® fashions, then play with retail-themed items like mannequins, clothing racks, cash registers and even walk the runway. It's a real makeover from the days of plain Jane Sims clothing and adds a fun, girlie touch to the game. I dare you to not get addicted.

The game requires The Sims 2, The Sims 2 Special DVD Edition, or The Sims 2 Holiday Edition to play.

Now I'm not much of a gaming gal - but I do love me some H&M® so I am quite intrigued by the latest feature to be added to The Sims 2. The Sims 2, the popular video game that allows gamers to create virtual characters and communities, is about to get a serious fashion upgrade!

New Lily Allen Video - "Smile" (Simlish Version)

GeekSugar — Thu, 22 Mar 2007 03:01:58 PDT

Well what do you know, a day after my best friend convinces me we have to go to a Lily Allen concert when she comes to San Francisco, I find out she's way geekier than I thought. Joining the ranks of Teen pop queens Aly and AJ, Allen has recorded her hit song "Smile" in Simlish.

You can record your own rendition of "Smile" by Lily Allen in Simlish - the unique language of The Sims - and enter for the chance to win prizes. Apparently, the top 3 entries will be judged by Lily Allen to determine the winners. Wondering what the heck she's saying in this video?

Smile

When you first left me I was wanting more, but you were beeping that girl next door, what cha do that for (what cha do that for)? When you first left me I didn't know what to say - I never been on my own that way, just sat by myself all day.

I was so lost back then, but with a little help from my friends I found a light in the tunnel at the end. Now you're calling me up on the phone so you can have a little whine and a moan and it's only because you're feeling alone.

At first when I see you cry, yeah it makes me smile, yeah it makes my smile.
At worst I feel bad for a while, but then I just smile I go ahead and smile.

Whenever you see me you say that you want me back. And I tell you it don't mean jack, no it don't mean jack. I couldn't stop laughing, no I just couldn't help myself. See you messed up my mental health I was quite unwell.

Aly & AJ Share How Chemicals React - In Simlish

GeekSugar — Thu, 04 Jan 2007 16:09:50 PST

Teen pop queens Aly and AJ, must have a geeky side. The sister duo, which is known for their "Chemicals React" song, recently teamed up with EA Games and released their hit in Simlish. While I'm a die-hard Sims fan, I don't know the girls very well, so I was a little shocked at first. Now I'm amazed, entertained and imagining how funny Madonna would sound in Simlish.

The song was recorded for The Sims 2: Pets, which launched in late 2006. It was also included on the PSP (PlayStation Portable) system version. If you're wondering what the girls are saying in English, just

Chemicals React

"You make me feel out of my element, like I'm walkin' on broken glass. Like my worlds spinnin' in slow motion and you're movin' too fast.

Were you right, was I wrong? Were you weak, was I strong? Yeah both of us broken, caught in the moment we lived and we loved and we hurt and we joked, yeah. But the planets all aligned when you looked into my eyes and just like that the chemicals react. The chemicals react."

Download Of The Day - The Sims 2: Pets

GeekSugar — Wed, 03 Jan 2007 07:20:48 PST

If you're a Sims fan, you've probably done the family and white-picket fence thing a million times, but what about some fun-loving pets?

With The Sims 2: Pets all you have to do is have your Sim pick up the phone and dial the Pet Adoption Service, where they’ll have plenty of cats and dogs to choose from. You can also create your own unique cats and dogs through the Create a Family screen, where size, color, body type, markings, and personalities can be tweaked to your heart’s content. Choose from dozens of pedigreed breeds, and make your new fuzzy friend look like your real life dog.

For more about this download and some fun photos, just

Your Sim might find a stray cat or dog wandering around the house and develop a relationship with it, which will convince the animal to stay around for a while. Eventually, it will become a member of the household. This option is recommended for cheap Sims.

If you have the Open For Business expansion pack, you can buy cats and dogs at a downtown pet store. Pets also allows players with Open For Business to open their own pet shops.

Get the The Sims 2: Pets, from the Apple Store for $34.95. Works for Mac OS X v10.3.9 or later, but there's a PC Sims 2: Pets version too.
