2342. Deluxe Box shot

Written on Thursday 15 August 2002 at 00:53 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

The boxshot of The Sims Deluxe has appeared on the net. The Sims Deluxe will have The Sims, Livin' Large, some extra items and the 'Create-A-Sim' tool. Maxis hasn't yet told us if everybody who already has The Sims (and Livin' Large) will be able to somehow get the extra items for free or for a real bargain. We'll see about that later I think. This box (with content) will be in stores around early October.

2343. YAUP

Indeed: Yet Another Unleashed Preview. GamingHorizon gives us some info this time. this page has all that, of which the following is a part of:

"The community lot also serves a practical purpose: it's an excellent place for gathering, so when a Sim converses with another Sim and they strike up the topic of pets and both happen to be a dog owner, their relationship gets a nice boost. By contrast, if your Sim has a parrot and begins discussing Big Bird with a visitor who owns a cat then the relationship goes down a grade."

It also mentions the gardening a bit, slightly more detailed than most previews I've read before. At the end there are two numbers - 125+ new items, 50 jobs - and the conclusion that because of that it'll be a giant success. Unfortunately, we can't tell you that for sure until late September or early October when this expansion pack will be released. One thing is for sure: don't expect too much, and the game will seem better in the end. The full preview can be read here at Game Horizon.

2345. August update of TSO

Written on Wednesday 14 August 2002 at 00:53 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

The new TSO Newsletter has arrived in the mailbox of subscribers, and the official site has also been updated. There are 5 new articles, and more about the external beta (play) test. As for the play test: it will start with 100 people, but there will be 50,000 people playing the game towards the end of the test. You can join on invitation only - i.e., Maxis has to invite you through email. You also need valid creditcard info for age verification purposes and probably the $5 it costs to ship the CDs. You can also play the first two weeks after the release of the game for free. After that, you'll have to buy the game and pay the monthly fee like everybody else. A nice reward for those who get invited. More details can be found on this page and this other page. But also new are 5 of the articles...

2347. Small fix in updates

Written on Monday 12 August 2002 at 00:16 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Due to a problem with the database, it wasn't possible to put the urls in the site updates part completely - they got truncated at 50 characters. The result: pictures wouldn't show up correctly there. That problem has now been fixed. If you ever wrote an update with an image, then please edit it and fix the image url. If somehow you're unable to edit it, then send me an email telling me what post it is, and what the url should be. I can then also fix the post. Of course you can always add your updates here if you're registered and logged in, or view the latest updates right here. We apologise for the inconvenience caused by the problem.

2348. Guess who's back in business

Written on Sunday 11 August 2002 at 00:08 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Indeed, I've returned from my holiday and as you might've noticed, already a few things were fixed and changed today. In other words: I'm back in business like I was two weeks ago. You'll see regular items from me again like before. As you've seen, Sim Brother 2: The Contenders will start soon too, but that's not the only thing coming up here. What those things are? You'll have to see for yourself. Not now, but later. That means you'll have to keep coming back here for the latest news on The Sims, its expansions, The Sims Online and The Sims on PS2, and of course Sim Brother 2, new addons for your sims in the form of downloads, other special articles and more. All the regular stuff, and more in the future. Just keep visiting, and you'll see it all.

2349. Sim Day - What a cop-out!

Written on Friday 9 August 2002 at 03:34 by Andy - 6 comments.

If my memory serves me correctly, Sim Day was supposed to be the day of the week when Maxis produced something of use - be it downloads or relevant news about "The Sims".

Apparently this has changed and I for one am not at all pleased.
