1721. Even more screens

Written on Wednesday 21 January 2004 at 23:37 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

After the screenshots from the Sims 2 newsletter, even more screenshots have appeared on the web. This time they come from a French fansite, The Sims 2 Creation. They seem to be captured from a TV programme, and the quality isn't too great. If you're a fan you should check them out though, you'll see some neighborhood and CaSIE screenshots. Finally there are 2 loading screens pictures. To check them out, go to this page.

1722. 2 New Sims 2 Screens

Written on Wednesday 21 January 2004 at 22:32 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

There are 2 new Sims 2 screenshots from the Sims 2 Scoop mailing list that all subscribers have received earlier today. These screenshots show two objects that you can earn if you get up high in specific career tracks. That means that there is a little bit of the console "Get A Life" mode left in The Sims 2, namely trying to climb up in the career ladder to unlock those hidden objects. Be sure to check out those screens by clicking the thumbnails below.

Written on Wednesday 21 January 2004 at 11:58 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Maxis has announced who'll be in tomorrow's chat. And as many wanted, it's with Luc Barthelet this time, which means you'll be able to ask your Sims 2 questions in the chat, but if you want you should also be able to ask him personal questions. In French or English doesn't really matter, although the main language will be English. Make sure you're there at 3pm PST (which is 11pm GMT and midnight in most of Europe). Go to the official site for the link to the chatroom, when it opens about 10 minutes before the start of the chat.

1724. New Create A Sim Pics

Written on Tuesday 20 January 2004 at 20:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

In a preview of (at least) over a month old, Snooty Sims found 2 new pics of CAS (in-game) or CaSIE of The Sims 2. The preview itself is a bit hard to read, as it's in Czech. The images seem to be quite old, since they look similar to what was seen during the E3 last year. Nevertheless they're worth checking out. They show how varied the children of 2 Sims can be. You can find them at this page.

1725. Sims 2 FAQ

Written on Monday 19 January 2004 at 23:38 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

On the BBS, Maxis has asked the viewers if they had any questions about The Sims 2 which they wanted an answer to. Maxis has done what they promised, and answered the 10 most popular questions this week. These range from the amount of floors, sleepovers, careers, death, and moving out. Maxis also sent the information that the last video, with the Sim being abducted by aliens, was captured as the game was playing. "We have made a lot of good progress with the in game video tools and cameras. I hope you enjoyed the last video, there will be plenty more," according to Luc Barthelet. Back to the FAQ: As it's a lot of text, you'll have to click the Read More link (or just read on) to see all the questions. Read More!

1726. Chat Transcripts

Written on Friday 16 January 2004 at 08:59 by ChEeTaH - 9 comments.

The chat from the official site is over for about 8 hours now, and Maxis has already posted the transcript of it. There were many questions and answers as usual, for instance about the recently announced N-Gage version of Bustin' Out:

"SimsBustinOutRoks: N GAGE: Will it be like GBA version?"
"Yes, it will have the same gameplay only with new objects and more mini-games via a cell phone you will have in-game. You will also be able to use the BlueTooth technology to hook up to other players for trading."
"Guest: what was the funnest thing to make in Bustin Out?"
"MaxisScotchmo: The social interactions we're really humorous to make. We shot footage of our animators acting them out for reference. Remember this when watching "pull finger"!"

Of course that are only 2 of all the questions, and there's a lot more to read. Click here to read it all.

1727. SimDay

Written on Thursday 15 January 2004 at 13:29 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

This week's SimDay is again bigger than it seems from the first look of it. First of all there's information about tonight's chat, and Action Trip's Preview of The Sims 2. There's more Bustin' Out stuff too this week. First of all, you can find six MP3 files from Bustin' Out, which you can download and play on your PC. You can download those from this page. Maxis has also compiled a list of reviews of Gaming Sites which have reviewed Bustin' Out. You can find that right here. Finally there's some Sims 2 content, starting off with a couple of screenshots. Some older screens have been compiled to a story by somebody called SidDog. It's quite interesting (and long), but worth checking out. Click right here to open the photo album. Note that pop-up blockers might prevent you from watching the album, so disable any of such programs if you want to see it. That's all there's to enjoy this week. Remember to chat tonight if you have questions about Bustin' Out.

1728. Sims Topped Holiday Sales

Written on Thursday 15 January 2004 at 13:15 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

The Sims has topped in the charts of the holiday sales, just before christmas last year. In the week of 21-27 December 2003, there are 5 Sims titles in the top 10 in the NPD Chart of best selling PC games. Makin' Magic is at the first place, Deluxe on #4, closely followed by Double Deluxe on the fifth place. Sixth is Superstar, and The Sims Vacation closes the chart on the 10th place. Makin' Magic has given away the first place now though - the first week in January (28 December 2003 - 3 January 2004) it was second, with The Sims Deluxe third. Double Deluxe stayed at place five, and Superstar dropped to 7. Vacation has dropped from the chart, but in its place are Unleashed and Hot Date on places 8 and 9. More information is at GameSpot.

1729. Sims 2 Release Date update

Written on Thursday 15 January 2004 at 01:26 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

There's news about the release date of The Sims 2 again. The webmaster of the official Dutch website has written a post in the forums, saying the game definitely will not be released at 19 March 2004 (in Europe). According to him, we should expect it late spring, rather than the very early spring which starts shortly after 19 March. So for now, it's probably the wisest to stick to spring 2004 as release date, until Maxis has provided an official date. The "mayor", as the webmaster calls himself, stated that The Sims 2 is not yet finished and that Maxis and EA want to release "one of the most entertaining games ever". With an early release things would be missing, and everybody would be disappointed as well. Dutch viewers should log in at the Dutch site and then follow this link to see the thread, with the mayor's post in it. Thanks to Hikikimori for the tip.
