The Sims for the Xbox and GameCube Goes Gold
Dreaming of playing the number one PC game of all time on any console platform?

The Sims Coming to Xbox and GameCube
Players will be able to create and control their Sims like never before with level-based game play, two-player modes, and dynamic 3D graphics.  Both platforms will be available in Spring 2003.

Description

The Sims for the Nintendo GameCube will feature a level-based mode called “Get a Life,” where players can start with just one Sim and move him or her through life’s big moments including moving out of Mom’s house, getting a job, and having a family. Both versions will also feature the classic Sim-style open-ended game play. Now Nintendo GameCube players can explore and create in an entirely new 3D world of The Sims. There is a cast of wacky neighbors and creatures to interact with that can’t be found in the original The Sims game for the PC, including a monkey butler that can be unlocked to serve at your Sims’ every whim. Players will be able to customize the appearance of their Sim. They can create and tailor their Sims with accessories such as stylish hats, trendy glasses, cool hairstyles, and an enormous variety of clothing options. Players will also be able to make changes to their Sims appearance mid-game with the unlockable vanity mirror.

Notes

The Xbox and Nintendo GameCube will support two-player modes. Players will be able to play The Sims with or against each other. Whether it’s level-based fun, two-player challenges, or classic Sim-style open-ended game play, The Sims are new for the Xbox and Nintendo GameCube!

The console version of the Sims provides a very fun, albeit dated experience.
