News from chat
The chat was at a convenient time for me today, and the Maxoids did give some more information about the delays of The Sims 2 and CaSIE. Here's what MaxisLucky said about CaSIE:
"We are planning on releasing CaSIE, but something to understand is that Sims created with CaSIE need to work with the game, and since the Sims portion of the game isn't done, we can't release CaSIE yet. We don't want to give you a tool that creates Sims that won't eventually work in the game. Once its is released we are so excited to see what you guys come up with."
It's not yet sure if the delay causes any changes to the system requirements. Other news is that once TS2 is released, there probably won't be any more Sims 1.x SimDay events, and until then there won't be very many Maxis objects for TS1 anymore, as they. Basically The Sims 1 is slowly dying, but of course The Sims 2 will take over and there will be a lot of new features there. Of course the Sims 2 website will be updated weekly with new info, screenshots, etc., even with the release date being so far away. Weekly chat times will from now on be alternated, so everybody can join some chats. As MaxisKitty said, it's because then more European people get a chance to join the chat. Currently the Maxis Website hosting will still take some time, as Maxis is "
still jumping through some hoops to get it set up". Of course, TS1 fansites will be hosted as well. The transcript will be posted at
The Sims Chat soon, and there you'll be able to read even more questions and answers.
[Update 20:45] TSC posted the transcript quicker than I expected. You can find it
right here.

Sims 2 and Pacific Assault delayed
Electronic Arts says both games won't be out until Summer 2004 … at the earliest.
During a conference call announcing its Q4 2003 earnings, Electronic Arts executives revealed that two of the publisher's most anticipated PC games, The Sims 2 and Medal of Honor: Pacific Assault, have been delayed. According to EA chief financial officer Warren Jenson, both games will not be out until the company's "fiscal year 2005, not until the second or third quarter." Seeing how calendar Q4 2003 was EA's financial third quarter of 2004, in layman's terms, the announcement means that neither game will hit the market until calendar July 2004...at the earliest.
Do you know anything about this?

yes I do agree that in the main gaming world TS1 will die but never to me they are the ones that broke the ground and yes TS2 will be better(hoping that I'm not speeking to soon) but I have faith in Maxis, I will play the sims 1 forever, I have all of the exp packs for the sims and I will never give up on them they have gave me a how to say differnt look at how things work, and I will play everyother game that has anything to do with the sims, but I will never quit the sims 1!!

can you literally create a sim on the internet on this website? email me

No you can't. You will be able to download CaSIE from the official site within a couple of weeks (I think), with which you can create skins for The Sims 2.
