53. French Sims Magazine

Written on Tuesday 24 January 2006 at 00:51 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

That the Sims 2 is popular in France was already proved when the game got its own stamp. Now the Sims 2 is also getting a magazine in France, which is for sale for 7.50 Euros. Besides the magazine itself, which contains articles with tips for the PC game, information about the Consoles and Handheld versions, a history of the Sims, stories, and more, you also get an extra DVD. The DVD contains 500+ objects, patches, videos and tools for the Sims 2 on PC. A new copy of the magazine will be distributed every quarter, although it will only be available in France. For more details, check out the French newspage. Below you can see the cover of the first issue.

54. Open for Business Screenshots and Movie

Written on Wednesday 4 January 2006 at 21:47 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The official announcement earlier today marked the start of the usual flood of screenshots, movies and information about the new Sims 2 expansion pack, Open for Business. A few have been released before, but now Maxis has also released four screenshots and a video on the official site. The trailer shows the key features of everything that's possible, including many of the new objects. Between them is also a robot that looks like a remake of Servo, the robot-maid that was introduced in Livin' Large for the Sims 1 - we'll most likely find out more about that soon enough. In the background is a new remix of the Sims 2 tune, but naturally it's a matter of waiting to find out if that will be in the game too. There's a lot more to see in the movies, especially when it comes to all the objects. Watch it to see for yourself. Also check out the screenshots by clicking the thumbnails below.

This patch solves a conflict with NVidia video cards in combination with OS X version 10.4.3. The patch also includes the fixes for the previous two patches, so you don't need those for this patch. You can download the patch from MacGameFiles. For a full list of fixes, including those of the previous patches, check Aspyr's patch page.

Besides that Hunter Howe, designer on the team of the expansion pack, gives some insight in what goes on behind the scenes and how things work, using several constants.
