<title><![CDATA[This Time It's For Real]]></title>
<link>http://www.twistedsims.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1268235097&amp;archive=</link>
<description><![CDATA[I just wanted to let you all know that once June 1, 2010 rolls around, Twisted Sims will be no more. A number of things influenced my decision. The two biggest things are that the forums were hacked and I no longer have the time, energy or money to keep the site updated. I would like to thank the few people who showed interest in Twisted Sims during the 4+ years that it was online. Thank you to Jud, Chrissy, Shan, Mike, Jodi and a few others who gave me the encouragement to keep the site going even when times were tough. I appreciate all of your friendship, help and dedication. It really means a lot to me.<br /><br />Please feel free to download any designs you want from the <a href="http://www.twistedsims.com/dloads/" target="_blank">downloads database</a> until June 1st. I'm not sure if or when I'll ever be designing for The Sims again, but you will still be able to find me on Facebook, Twitter, YouTube (see links in the left nav) or on the Fizzcrank realm in World of Warcraft. For those of you who are interested in RollerCoaster Tycoon, don't forget to also download any tracks, parks, workbenches, etc. that you want from the <a href="http://rctarchive.twistedsims.com" target="_blank">RCT Archive</a>.<br /><br />It's been a fun 4 years. Thank you and Happy Simming everyone!]]></description>

<title><![CDATA[Create-a-World Tool Preview at IGN]]></title>
<link>http://www.twistedsims.com/index.php?subaction=showfull&amp;id=1260841503&amp;archive=</link>
<description><![CDATA[<a href="http://pc.ign.com" target="_blank">IGN</a> has posted a preview of The Sims 3 <a href="http://www.thesims3.com/game/tools/world" target="_blank">Create-a-World Tool</a>. Below is a quote from the article. It also looks like the beta is to be released tomorrow, December 15th. I will post more info as it becomes available.<br><br /><blockquote>At first, when you create a new map, you're presented with a blank canvas surrounded by ocean. From here, players can use the considerable tools to design whatever comes to mind. There are a variety of elements that players will initially need to determine when building a new community map. For one thing, players will need to determine the size of map that you'd like to create: the smallest map size that Create a World will support is 256x256, while the largest is 2048x2048. Any power of two in between these numbers can be created as well. Once the size is selected, players will need to select different environmental features, such as the height of the world from one of three separate levels, which determines just how high mountains and valleys can be. All of these features are just a paintbrush away, and creators can manipulate elements like the number and steepness of a mountain range or valley with a simple click and drag of the mouse.</blockquote><br />Click <a href="http://pc.ign.com/articles/105/1055170p1.html" target="_blank">here</a> to read the full article.]]></description>
