Sn00zE's Sleepy Sims

Vima - This site almost put me to sleep. If you are a download hunter, this place has no game. Instead this site is packed with a handful of information about The Sims with hints, tips, cheats and how-to's, some which point to other sites. Apparently he isn't updating and I feel like I've wasted 10 minutes of my night...I'm outta here. B-bye. Here, you can have this olive.

Skyler - So... I get to come back to this. I have to travel for a few days miss a couple decent sites to review and come back to a Sn00zE Fest!

So let me just jump right in here. First off I really dislike the black background with lettering it's entirely to hard on my eyes. So with that said I'll roam over to the downloads. First off, let me just "sputter" I hate having to wait for an extra page to load to see a "preview," it stinks. I'm looking at some walls here, nothing really wrong with them however you can't see of they tile nicely or not by looking at one wall with every paper on it, so that stinks too. I just went through all the downloads, and they all stink, sorry it's my word of the day... I just don't care for them.

So I'll go to the other areas of the site *I wonder if CC will be here tonight* The Sims overview section is cute and well written, the tips section has some great tips, showing Sn00zE has played this game a lot and understands what it takes to get ahead, It's worth looking at ;) On to the cheating section... I HATE cheating in this game, I think it's much better to play, and play hard to really understand it and feel successful. We all need to kill off a few of our favorite people in the beginning while really learning, that way we don't repeat our mistakes. Off my soapbox... But won't I make a great Mom when the time comes LOL :) Oh, cool Sn00zE doesn't like cheaters either, and I'm sure CC won't condone them, although no telling what Vima and Mason might have to say ;)

On to the furniture list, what a silly thing to waste your time doing, however it doesn't stink, it's just silly. He/she has a FAQ section, a tutorial, that links you over to 7 Deadly Sim (strange), then on to his/her rants which we can't participate in, what's the fun there? :P

So on to the hardest section to read. "Sims Sites RIP," he/she has, Sim sites that have fallen. When I saw the name "Inspired Creations" listed here, I felt all misty. I miss her site SO much, and wish she would come back. Such a waste of true talent! *snif, snif*

So back to this site... I guess I'll give them two martinis. That's mostly for the tips section. I do think it's the best area.

On to the Lounge, haven't seen my feisty friends in a week and I bet dollars to doughnuts CC isn't here tonight LOL

Storel - Sn00zE's Sleepy Sims is the work of webmaster Sn00zE, who admits that he taught himself HTML in two days when he was in sixth grade. From his writing and other factors, I'd guess he's probably not much past seventh or eighth grade now. The site is aimed at the beginning Sims fan, with introductory overviews of the game and expansion packs, plus sections for Tips, Cheats, FAQs, Furniture Lists, Tutorials, and so on.

Unfortunately, there's not much here for the more seasoned fan. The downloads section consisted of one wall pack, three packs of eye-searing recolored objects and obscure band pictures by "Jake", two objects by Sn00zE himself, and one house -- well, actually, just links to that house's page in The Sims Exchange. Sn00zE describes one of his objects as follows: "This is my second object. Something you can call a 'quick and dirty object,' this thing took me only 30 minutes to make, so it's not exactly the most original or the best done object out there.... The only reason I made it is to refresh my knowledge of object making before I get working on my next object: Penguins!" I have to give him credit for honesty, if not for salesmanship...

While Sn00zE deserves credit for his hard work on a site that's friendly to beginners, the absence of anything of interest to more experienced fans is hard to overlook. One martini with an extra lime.

Squeegee - When I first had a peek of the title of this website. I had the psychological recollection of one of the seven dwarfs from the famed Snow White classic. So the flicker of memory sort of got me into the mood as soon as I typed in the URL to the site.

You have to acknowledge that naming a website after a symptom of what a Sim does is resourceful. You would almost expect to see the animation of the Sim almost losing his/her balance greeting you on the main page.. :)

There are a few banners and a web poll. But nothing to bring the concentration away from the main objective of the website. The structure and colors used attract me in some way. It's tough to try and mention in words. Oh wait, it's because the graphics blend flawlessly into the site itself. Nice job!!

Lots of links to choose from the navigation on the left side. Of course my interest has been perked to see what exactly is entered in the "Rants" page. The Rants are creative and they bring out the character behind the site.

I think people will agree that there is a large amount of helpful information given at SnOOzE's place. Sections like questions and answers. Discussions about the morals behind using cheats. And even an overview of The Sims and each of the expansion packs. As well as a listing of how much the Sim can get out of each piece of furniture. :)

Now, I say all this and have yet to get to the downloads offered. I wanted to stop right here and make a point that I tend to like about this site. Because everyone's taste might be diverse on what they like as far as skins and objects. It would then be up to opinion if this site has worthy downloads. But, before I even check to see if I like anything I already have found some very useful resources. You see, it's a nice blend to be able to find a site that offers more stimulating information then just a bunch of downloads. This is just an important feature I thought I would share.

I discovered that there is a small selection of recolored and exclusive user created objects. Nothing fancy, but I did enjoy the way they were presented. A nice "preview" link if the user is interested in what is featured.

This site was a pleasant way to spend 20 minutes of my afternoon. I was not annoyed by anything at this site. It's very well rounded and left me with a new sense of well being.

This is a hard site to give a review rating to. I can't fault them for not having a huge selection of downloads, because that is all up to each person's own personal opinion. I can't find any blemish for the way the website is structured as I could not see any incorrectly spelled words or even vivid colors being used as text and backgrounds. The most simple way to put it, is that this site is well put together and is themed for the Sims. I would also refer the site as a information resource that would be a nice place to mention if people have questions concerning the game.

Personally to Sn00zE.. Is that a Clarinet in the black case?? :) I once took up the Clarinet but that didn't last long. It was the 5th grade and I was more interested in the young ladies who played the Clarinet's and the flutes. I then traveled to the Trombone and finally settled to the Baritone. I followed that until the 8th grade. To this day I still have fond memories of that instrument and wish to take up that hobby if ever time permits. Since I am sure that those young ladies are all married off and not as cute as they once were to me.. :)

I submit a review of four martinis and a bookmark.

So this is a fan site, if you are coming here looking for tons of downloads you will be disappointed. If you are coming for information about everything from lists of furniture, to what the requirements are to run the game, then you won't be disappointed.

I like the layout of the site, I like a dark background and lighter writing, it feels comfortable to my old eyes! Praise be!!

Well the objects that are here are recolors of the diving board and a couple bright blue chairs and sofa...I don't have much to say about them, they were fine. The "broken e-plant" I don't understand am I missing a reference here??? Go and see for yourself, maybe you can make head or tails out of it. I mean it is a plant but... ???

Ok so, I guess that to sum it all up in a few words or less, this site is just a general info type of site with a half dozen object thrown in to download... what is here is fine, but the content really isn't that interesting to me. I will give two and a half communion cups.

I am of to the lounge and then home for a dinner party for the Moral Sim Majority, Pat says I make a lovely hostess. Hallelujah Sister!!!
