2431. Goodbye & Hello

Written on Wednesday 5 June 2002 at 03:58 by Andy - 0 comments.

Sadly, Mike has had to leave us due to other commitments. Hopefully, we will still see some contributions from him from time to time. Thanks for your hard work, Mike. We wish you well and hope to hear from you again soon.

Fortunately, there is a new realtor in town.

Jen has replaced Mike's position as Lot Designer and I can assure you that there will be quality work coming from her shortly. Whether it is in your neighborhood, downtown or on your vacation island, she has something for your needs.

Combined with William's excellent designs, you won't need to any other site to fill those vacant lots.

Stay tuned.

2432. Pre-order Sims Unleashed and Sims Deluxe

Written on Monday 3 June 2002 at 00:23 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Rumours of a fifth expansion pack for The Sims are getting stronger. We already reported earlier that The Sims Unleashed could be coming. Although there's no word from EA or Maxis yet, you can already pre-order this expansion pack here at EB-Games. As Vacation could be pre-ordered before an official statement too, it could be very possible that this new expansion pack is actually coming. From the name it's not very clear what it'll be about, and no information is known yet too. As it looks now, it seems it'll be released as early as 17 September, 2002 (not 15 October as said before). Once there's more information, it'll be posted here.

[Update 23:10] Another Sims-package that can be pre-ordered at EB-Games is Sims Deluxe. About as much is known about that as The Sims Unleashed: only the price ($49.95) and the release date (17 September 2002). Rumours go - but nothing's confirmed - that it'll be a DVD with The Sims and several or all expansion packs on it. You can pre-order that at this page.

2433. Hot Date (Mac) Delayed

Written on Monday 3 June 2002 at 00:13 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Slightly bad news for all The Sims fans with a Macintosh: Hot Date has been postponed until later this month. At Aspyr, the ones who are making Hot Date for the Mac, it says Hot Date is in the Final Candidate stage, and is scheduled for release in June 2002. After Final Candidate, the game will go into Gold Master stage after which it will be released. Visit Aspyr for more information.

2434. Lack of File Additions

Written on Friday 31 May 2002 at 22:34 by Carrie - 0 comments.

I just wanted to apologize to everyone for not uploading any files recently. I am getting ready for the arrival of my first child and unfortunately, I haven't had much spare time. I'm getting ready to go on maternity leave, but I will be back sometime in September with all new downloads. Happy simming! :-)

2437. Simday Report: E3 2002

Written on Thursday 30 May 2002 at 21:11 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Want to read all about The Sims Online and The Sims Hands On (on PS2) from the E3? The official site has posted a list of articles at several sites, including articles from CNN, MSNBC and GamesDomain:

""I think The Sims is a success, particularly with the female players, because it was designed for regular people in everyday life and not specifically for girls or kids," said associate producer, Jenna Chalmers."

2438. SimGolf Poll

Written on Thursday 30 May 2002 at 02:08 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Yup, there's a new poll again. Last week's poll about The Sims on PS2 came with some interesting results. Most (52) votes of all 125 say that the game should be kept to the PC only, and they don't think it'd work on a console. Second place, with 19 votes, are the people who have a PS2 and will buy the game. 13 people can't wait for The Sims 2 on the PC. 12 others want to know more first, and another 12 rather want it on a XBox or GameCube. 11 people would even buy a PS2 with it, and 6 need to save up money.

This week, we want to know what you think is the best excuse EA Europe should give for releasing SimGolf so late. It was delayed again until 27/28 June now. On the right and on this page you can vote, and see some of the reasons we've thought of. Happy voting.

2439. Career Creator 2 Released

Written on Wednesday 29 May 2002 at 23:30 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

If you're tired of all the default careers and would like to make your own, then there's some great news for you. Tom van Dijk has rewritten his Career Creator to version 2. This completely new version also supports the latest expansion packs. The name might be a little misleading though: you can only modify careers, creating them caused The Sims to crash. Maybe that's something for the future, but that doesn't take away this is yet another very nice tool. If you want to download the tool, visit the BluePrint Website.

2440. TSO and Europe...

Written on Wednesday 29 May 2002 at 16:51 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

When getting on the phone with EA in Holland, I got some bad news. EA NL has no plans of releasing The Sims Online here, and the same probably goes for more countries in Europe. It might be released anyhow, but most likely not within 12-18 months from now. Andy has also called EA, but then in the UK, the headquarters of EA Europe. He heard that TSO would be released, but that there's no date for it yet. Pretty much the same goes for Germany, as we can read at SimsZone.de. An alternative for the fans dying to get TSO as soon as it's released, would be buying a copy in the USA, or from a USA store. You'd then have to pay with your creditcard. Europeans should expect The Sims Online to be released within a month or two after the USA release. It'll be more like SimGolf: months later. Talking about SimGolf: that got postponed for another month again: it's now set at 27/28 June for Europe. The reason given was that EA Europe carries outs different tests, and the game was found too buggy to be released here (which was probably also the reason for the Hot Date International patch). Also, there's no official word about a fifth expansion pack for The Sims yet, and it might be true that it's not coming at all. Thanks for all information go out to Andy and SimsZone.de and of course EA Europe.
