Tim LeTourneau, Senior producer of the Sims 2 University, has sent another e-mail to the Sims community. He doesn't have too much to say this time except that he's back from his Euro-trip, but there is a new fansite pack to be downloaded. It's about 40 Mb in size so it might take a while. It contains the US box arts (shown below as well), some known artworks - but this time with the logo over it, high-res logos (also familiar), 2 known videos (the cow plant video and the official trailer) and a bunch of screenshots. 2 Of those screenshots are new, and can be seen below as well. To download the fansite pack, click here, for the new images click the thumbnails below (they're pretty big!), and for Tim's complete mail read more.

"Hi Everyone,

"It's that time again.

"I'm finally back from my whirlwind tour of Europe. I had a great time and got to meet a lot of folks from the community along the way. It was so much fun being able to show off The Sims 2 University and see everyone's reaction.

"Of course, while I was gone, the team was kicking butt putting the finishing touches on the pack. I couldn't believe the improvements made in just a few short weeks. It's been an amazing effort and I can't wait for you to get your hands on it. Fortunately, you don't have to wait long; March is just around on the corner. We just hit a major milestone and are closing fast on the finish line. We're mostly just playing and tuning at this point, making sure it's bug-free, and most importantly, a blast to play. I promise it won't be long before your Sims can head off on their college adventure.

"So now I'm asking you to really get the word out. We've got our new fansite kit ready for you from the link below. You're getting The Sims 2 University logo and the box-front, and we've even thrown in some new screen-shots as well. We're definitely in the home-stretch now, so we want to make sure everyone is ready for the release.

"Talk you to you soon,

Tim LeTourneau"
