1131. The Red Matrix Bedroom

Written on Monday 7 February 2005 at 22:20 by Sumit - 0 comments.

Now in red...the matrix bedrooms continue to gain more colors and momentum. Download this with much glee and delight, this one will bring sims in ultimate happiness. This is a bedroom, thus includes the bedsheets, wallpaper, and flooring. I hadn't made curtains, but if anyone wants some, they shall come.



One more color to come...soon!

*URGENT UPDATE* All The Sims 2 Objects have just been updated for the University Expansion Pack. This includes this current Red Matrix Bedroom. If you see this message, please redownload all objects. If you have not downloaded the Red Matrix Bedroom as of yet, the current one is of updated strength. If you are unsure of any of this confusion, just redownload ALL SIMS 2 OBJECTS anyways...to be safe. There are only 9 objects, as of yet, on my part..so its not too bad. :)

Any other objects of mine that come after this post, will already be University ready.

1132. Hacks and University

Written on Saturday 5 February 2005 at 22:41 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The modding community of the Sims 2 is working hard to give fans custom content including careers and objects. However, when the first expansion pack - University - will be released, several technical things will change. These changes should make things more stable when custom hacks are used. However, a side-effect is that careers and recoloured objects made so far might not work anymore or are more likely to cause conflicts. Although there is no solution to make careers work as of yet, there is a solution for custom objects (recolours and new meshes).

The fix for objects is made available in SimPE 0.15. A tutorial for fixing existing objects has also been made, and should help object makers to fix their current downloads. If you don't make downloads, you normally shouldn't have to worry about this, though you might have to redownload some files. Thanks to our affiliate SimsZone for the information.

1133. Screens and Artwork

Written on Saturday 5 February 2005 at 14:38 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The Superbowl is this weekend, and as many of you might know Sims in University are able to hold sports parties. The Swedish site has posted 3 screenshots showing Sims watching the big game. Besides that there are two others, one with a secret society and another with the "Resurrectonomitron," (see the previous chat) the object that you can bring passed Sims back to life with. Finally the Japanese EA has posted a small artwork of a Sim behind an arcade machine on their TS2U info page. Thanks to James Magenta for the tip. You can see all the screenshots below, and click the thumbnails to see the large versions. The artwork is in the full size as it was posted already.

1136. The Sims Five Years Old

Written on Saturday 5 February 2005 at 00:36 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

This week the Sims has turned 5. The first version was released early February 2000, and now we're 5 years, 7 expansions, a sequel, 3 console games and 2 handheld games further. The Sims is the most successful franchise on the PC ever, as the first game has sold more copies than any other PC game before. Although official sites don't seem to be mentioning it, we do. Congratulations to Will Wright, Maxis and EA with this!

Two more colors come...and maybe more if there comes to a time of demand.

1138. SimDay [Update]

Written on Thursday 3 February 2005 at 20:54 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

This week's SimDay brings a few new things. The first is the winning of an AIAS award by the Sims 2. The Academy of Interactive Arts & Sciences has awarded the game as best simulation game of 2004. Last year Maxis won two AIAS awards as well, for Bustin' Out and Superstar. Furthermore there's news of an interview with Will Wright on The Onion. The website interviewed Will about creating the Sims and SimCity series. He talks about how he gets inspired, but also about things he's tried but never worked out very well, and how SimAnt more or less turned into the Sims:

"There was a little simulation of a guy who lived in the house who would sit and watch television, get food from the fridge, mow the lawn, stuff like that. I realized at the end of SimAnt that the simulation we built for the ants was almost more intelligent than for the guy, because the guy was being done using traditional programming, whereas the ants were done using this distributed environmental intelligence of the pheromone trails. I began wondering, could we build a more robust simulation of human behavior if we adopted this ant model, where we distribute the intelligence not through the agents, but through the environment? Then I started experimenting with some techniques, and that got the ball rolling for The Sims."

To read the rest of the article, which mentions a lot more than just that, head over to the special. Finally there's a link to yesterday's preview, which we've already mentioned here.

[Update 4 February, 23:30] SimDay Part 2 has been posted as well, with two new things. The first is a survey about the Urbz. If you got the game, you can let Maxis know what you think of it. It's quite possible they will use the information for future games. Remarkable is the mention of the Urbz 2 during the survey. There have been some rumours about this title already, and although the survey in no way confirms it it's not any less likely now. The second thing is a new Valentine's Day look for MySim Pages. If you're feeling romantic you can apply it to yours, or you can check out MaxoidMonkey's page for a preview.

1139. The Llama Is Still Gone (New Poll)

Written on Thursday 3 February 2005 at 01:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Last week 210 people told us where the Llama had gone to, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be helping much. Answers to last week's poll varied a lot, although "Off to see the wizard" was the most comon one, with 30% of the votes. "Gone to be sheared to make a woolly sweater" got 16.7%, which is a second place along with "College". Other options including the Zoo (11.4%), Strangetown (10%), Wisconsin (6.2%), Africa (4.8%) and AFK (4.3%) are less popular places for Llamas apparantly. This concludes last week's research about that, see the results page for an overview of the results.

This week we want to know what topics Sims send e-mails about to their friends. Let us know and vote on the right or on the latest poll page. The poll will run for one week as usual.

1140. One More Sims 2 Expansion Confirmed

Written on Wednesday 2 February 2005 at 22:50 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

At least one more expansion pack has been confirmed to be in development by EA. At the University of Florida EA revealed a few new titles last week while talking to the Students, including two (nameless) Sims 2 expansion packs. Assuming University is one of them, that means one more expansion is already in development now. If University isn't then we can expect at least two more EPs already being developed by Maxis, even though the first one isn't released yet. Maxis has previously already stated that expansions will come out at about a 6-month basis, so we should know about them within a year. Check out IGN's article for some more details.
