1041. New Poll

Written on Thursday 24 March 2005 at 01:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Last week we decided to investigate which author of books is the most popular among the Sims. Fiction has won big time, with J.K. Simling being first with 55 of 258 votes (21.3%), followed by S.I.M. Tolkien with 46 votes (17.8%). However, even more Sims don't read - that option got 60 votes, which equals 23.3%. Another popular author is William Simspeare, which got 10.9% of the votes. The Sima Strategy guides, the for Simmies series, Albert Simstein, Sim Twain, Charles Dicksims, Bill Simton and Helen Fieldsim are obviously less popular, with just 1.2% (Helen) to 6.2% (Sima Guides) of the votes. If you'd like to see the exact results, check the results page.

This week we're back to a familiar poll: what do you think of the Sims 2 University now it's out for a few weeks? Is it really that great as you expected, or do you absolutely hate it? Or don't you have it (yet)? Let us know by voting on the right, or on the latest poll page.

1043. TS2U Guide by IGN

Written on Wednesday 23 March 2005 at 20:59 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

If you're not doing too well with University, the first expansion pack of the Sims 2 that is, then IGN has a solution for you. They've published a guide which takes you through the most important parts of the game. New items etc. are briefly introduced, followed by a College 101 which is all about creating and going to college. Some special places at the campus are discussed after that, followed by a few notes you can't miss. If you can't afford the comprehensive Prima guide or just don't want that, this might be a good (free) solution instead. It might not be as big, but it should get you started. Go to the guide for the info.

After the social bunnies that come with the game, Maxis has now published an easter bunny doll as a download. It's not really a bunny though, it's a mix of a rabbit and a bear, as a result of modern science:

"This adorably fluffy abomination of modern science updates the classic Teddy Bear with lovingly hand-stitched snippets of rabbit DNA sewn right into the fabric of the doll. Perfect for tea-parties, playing house, or playing God."

To have your Sims play with this little fluffy create, download it from the official site.

1046. GameSpot on Simlish Music

Written on Saturday 19 March 2005 at 02:46 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Gaming site GameSpot has posted a feature about the music in the Sims 2 and the Sims 2 University. In the article Audio Director Robi Kauker talks a bit about making the music that appears in the game. He says how artists like to sing in the strange, made up language, and what easter eggs some place in their lyrics, like shout outs to their buddies. As for the Sims 2 University, Kauker said it was the first time they used real bands to sing their songs in Simlish. Some of them even made the lyrics so correct, that the Simlish words were consistent in meaning with the English ones. A lot more can be read in the article, with thanks to TheSidDog for the link.

The contest is open only to US and Canada residents of 13 years and older. Go to the giveaway for more. Besides that the official site has updated the cheats page, and made a university cheats page along with it, listing some of the new cheats that came with the expansion pack. Finally, there's a bit about the SIMposium. A video was made during the event, in which several fansite webmasters were interviewed. You see several in-game shots of the expansion packs, as well as the people who visited and other shots taken during the event. You can find the video on the video page. For those wondering when we're continuing the SIMposium coverage and posting the interview with Will Wright: it's been delayed due to limited time, but all will be done in the next few weeks.
