GameSpot reports that there will be an external beta-test of The Sims Online this summer. About 50,000 people will be able to test the game that's scheduled for release this fall. TSO is now in pre-alpha stage, which means there are still features of the game to be completed. Besided that news, there are also some new screenshots to be found

It seems to be that it's not possible to clone Vacation objects that well with Transmogrifier - extracted sprites look wrong. According to Bil Simer from
BluePrint this is probably because of the amount of colours used in the sprites. As nice as he is, he'll create a new version of his Object Cloner as soon as he got his hands on SV. We'll keep you updated on this. For more information about Object Cloner, BluePrint and other tools, go to the
BluePrint website.

The UK (and hopefully international) Hot Date patch might be coming out tomorrow evening, Maxis' time. On the BBS at the
official site a Maxis Official has posted this news. Hard work is being done on the patch, so it can be posted tomorrow. We'll keep you updated. If this patch is included with the European releases of Vacation, the latest expansion pack, is unknown.
