SOMEONE. MUST. LEAK. IT.

[butcherboy2008]

I think the gameplay woudl have been similar to Sim City Societies. Everybody hated that game.

[skylar15123]

@butcherboy2008 I think you're comment is similar to a asshole's comment. Everybody hates that comment.

[TotalMorgo]

God damn I wish they'd made that game.

[MrNickWright]

I'd pay $60 just to play what they had finished at that point.

[joshy959]

Look's great, but all hope lost for it due to Maxis and Ea will forget about it because it's kinda old,

They did the same with Sims Online, they pulled the plug and forgot about it.

[sarge6925]

Objects with insufficient attraction would be ignored by sims. This new gameplay style did not allow as much player control in Simsville as exists in The Sims and contributed to its poor reception by those in attendance.

[sarge6925]

One significant difference between the gameplay of The Sims and Simsville was that where in The Sims a player would push sims by giving them commands to follow, in Simsville a player could only pull sims by the placement of objects with different degrees of attraction to the sims

[sarge6925]

Wiki: In March 2001, Maxis held a reception for the release of The Sims: House Party in San Francisco, California. During this reception, several of the Maxis developers demonstrated Simsville which was expected at that time to be released later that year. It received tepid response in comparison to the demonstration of House Party.

Wish this was made. Sad thing it wasn't made. Makes me angry! >: (

[Screamofeen19]

they shouldve released the sims 3 as simsville, because its a prequel, adn theyre very similar

[CharlieTeague]

I think this game would have really satisfied me!

Why did they cancel it?

[WEbkinzandsims654]

more ppl whanted the sims hot date and they made sims hot doate instead of this

[nudic2]

if they released it then they probally would of made sequals and then the sims 2 and sims 3 would be cancelled! :(

[scubascube12]

It's a shame that it was cancelled. I imagine that it'd be a pretty good game. =(

[davejb1994]

I bet if they had released it at the time that would have been top of the charts! - a best seller!!!

[dgogosims3]

when they will put it again for sale?

[Metroboy95]

That looks too advanced for a 2001 game....

[Gurblet]

I agree. Those graphics would've been very good for 2001.

[OMGsImS]

@Metroboy95 Thats why it never came out.

[Sims3Crazy2K10]

@OMGsImS Just because its too advanced? Simsville wouldve been WAY better than the sims 3, it could've been a huge hit. It looked way more fun with probabley careers were you can actualy go in the buildings and see them work , unlike the sims 3 ambitions were they only let you see them work in one neighborhood. The expansion packs would've been epic! And the characters were way more out of control and could actually kill people themselves... lol

[cabz0r]

eventually was scrapped and evolved into sims 2?

[zc456]

Nah. By the looks of it Sim City 4. Only Sim City game that would use that house design.

[CalacticEmpire]

wow that is some rare footage

[mazzaman2000]

wats this game? how cum ive never heard of it

[InvisibleManiac]

Cancelled game from Maxis.

You can find more at wikipedia.

[FurizankFan]

wow i found it in in wikipedia like on february but it was cancelled NOOOOOOOOOO

[ZaffireWolf]

@InvisibleManiac MORE at Wikipedia? That's not how it usually works. Usually all content-based information has to be found on specialized, obscure fansites.

[InvisibleManiac]

@ZaffireWolf

Well that WAS four years ago, before Wikipedia sort of went to crap. There was a good bit there at the time.
