My Sims

Some new My Sims videos have been released and the game is looking mighty fine.

I love the super deformed art style they are using, it’s much more expressive than the more realistic style being used before which I always found to be a little creepy. The game also appears to be looking to trade on the success of Animal Crossing - the Sims has clearly been a popular series but this move for a (even more) child/ family friendly atmosphere has clearly been designed to pull in the Nintendo audience.

The building construction shown in the video looks like a fun thing to do and seems to bear a striking resemblance to the building construction seen in Spore. Unlike Spore you will be able to enter your created buildings after designing them, which should prove to be a technical challenge, if nothing else.

20 Charlie - September 3, 2007

Is my Sims out on the DS yet?

21 Kaitan - September 21, 2007

Got this game and I have to say I love it. I was never into the babysitting required in sims2 ( I have every sims2 game and expansion) I’ve always been about the building and making towns.

Thats what this one is about, building not just buildings but furniture! And the freeky deformed cuteness of the sims makes it more fun and less wierd - I’m 36 and I love this game! (dont let the screen shots fool ya, its pretty big of a “world” - wish there was a little more variety in objects to start but once you get more townies to move in you start unlocking tons of building blocks.)

28 laura - October 12, 2007

im on star level 5 and no matter what i do i cant get through this level.i keep returning to helen the mayor for instructions but she has nothing realy to say.has anyone any ideas????

29 Jura - October 14, 2007

don’t forget to press ‘A’ button to dig when you have got red on radar and exclaimation mark appears !

30 Jura - October 14, 2007

when you dowse for Tracy(Mountain area) cash in points for gems, talk to herTracy) for this. then go to olivia in main town she will make gems into rings you give to Tourists fills emotion bar right to top ,just go around giving gifts the more tourists who stay the quicker new areas evolve.Good luck!

31 Niki - October 15, 2007

to get to 5 star level you need to do dowsing and collect points. trade these in with Tracy for statue body parts and then go and see Mayor Helen. She will give you a build a statue option. Build a statue and get star level 5. The airfield will also come into effect and you can meet Martin the pilot.

32 Vivian - October 15, 2007

the main thing with my sims DS is doing the same things over each day collecting cakes getting news from the cake maker,or going to th mayor for the days important area that needs attention , then when tourists start to stay in the various areas ,when this happens you get further towards your stars being filled in you characters rating bar.

45 oranjsherbert - December 14, 2007

muriel
you should keep talking to the mayor and follow her instructions. also just keep talking to your characters and they’ll start asking you for favors…do them and you get more stars.

46 oranjsherbert - December 14, 2007

52 Stephh - December 29, 2007

hey
i figured out how to dig. u have to keep pressing where red is keep sliding over it and keep pressing and for me i mightve missed somehting like the star but it started diggins so just keep sliding and pressing over the red .
Hope this helps!!

53 zuleika - December 29, 2007

how do you get my sims on ds lite to be two player

54 oranjsherbert - December 30, 2007

on the digging you have to keep hitting around the red circles until you see a yellow exclamation point then you press the screen and slide…hope this helps! and for two player, i think someone else has to have a ds and you both choose that option to go wireless. but someone else can make their own game on your ds if they want.

55 lewtam - January 1, 2008

57 btch - January 2, 2008

58 oranjsherbert - January 2, 2008

once ur done digging, you trade them with the girl who gives u the shovel and get diamonds or body parts to create a statue…the diamonds/rubies are taken to Olivia and she will make rings to give to tourists…not sure about the entertainment area…my airfield is open but i can’t get past 5 stars.

61 Alii - January 15, 2008

If you get stuck on star levels, go to the cake shop and buy a cake, then usually Charlie (the baker) will tell you that someone was looking for you or was seemed very upset or something. then go talk to the person, it will usually be something that raises your star level. and if you can’t remember what charlie said got to the menu where you have your inventory and everything and go to the people one, it will show important tings in yellow writing on the bottom screen if you tap the certain people.

62 mischif - January 29, 2008
