The Sims Announced

The Sims has been revealed today, giving us one more thing to watch as 1999 keeps getting louder. Yesterday, a small group of Sims, the people who live within SimCity, took temporary control of the Web site while the employees of Maxis were out on their annual San Francisco Bay boat trip. Maxia has announce that their next project will be called The Sims. The Sims will put you in charge of an entire neighborhood of Sims. You’ll create a family and build them a home.

It may not be the same thrill as a fresh demo, but this stuff shapes what actually reaches players. Boring paperwork today can turn into games on shelves tomorrow.
