2531. TNHH 3.7 Coming very soon!

Written on Sunday 31 March 2002 at 04:05 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

I've been working a lot on The Neighborhood Handler 3.7 lately. It is now nearly ready to be released to the TNHH group. There are only a few final tests to be done, but everything seems to be working well. Some of the upgrades are compatibility with Vacation, a more enhanced "Repair a Neighborhood" function, and the "Refresh a Back-up" option has been fixed so it now also works well if no expansion packs are installed. Also the manual has had quite a few changes: it now looks alright in Netscape 6.x/Opera 6 too. It has also been checked for typos etc. Besides that, also a few tutorials and a glossary chapter have been added. For more information - plus how to join the group so you can get it very soon - go to the TNHH site.

2532. Official Site news (SimDay Download, UK Patch)

Written on Saturday 30 March 2002 at 23:05 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Two pieces of news from the official site: First of all, last SimDay's new object, Pluto's Arch, has been removed from the site. The reason was that it had some texts wrong. Rumours are also that it was causing conflicts with other objects in SV (Vacation). It will be fixed and put back online as soon as possible.

Also, in the BBS, a Maxis employee has posted some news about the UK version of the Hot Date patch. This patch is now in its final testing stages, and should be available soon. They apologize for the delay. More news can't be given until at least next tuesday though. We hope they test the patch well this time, and that with "UK" they actually mean Europe and the rest of the world except North-America...

2535. The Sims 2 Info at CNN

Written on Saturday 30 March 2002 at 00:41 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

In an article at CNN Money there's some information about The Sims Online and The Sims 2. According to the article, the last of the two will be announced later this year. I think that it won't be released before 2003 though, so it'll be a wait. The Sims 2 will be more story-based than the game we're all continuously playing now (The Sims). For instance, there will be cuts and fadings when, for instance, a Sim gets turned down by the Sim he/she loves. If it'll result in wet keyboards because of tears won't be known until the release of it. The release date for The Sims 2 is unknown, The Sims Online is planned later this year. SimGolf in Europe has been delayed again, to late April this time. Also SimCity 4000 is expected to be finished in 2003, although that is unconfirmed too.

However, the site's now been updated, with a slightly updated navigation bar, SimCity for PocketPC, a download for Vacation, TSO Newsletter, and the press release of the release of Vacation, of which the exchange is now open...

2539. Vacation: First Impressions

Written on Tuesday 26 March 2002 at 22:02 by ChEeTaH - 5 comments.

Thanks to SimsZone (German site), we can already see some first impressions from happy owners of Vacation. According to them the first impressions are "overall positive". Unfortunately, this expansion pack isn't clean of technical issues though, both during installation and gameplay. To find some screenshots, go here, here, or here. If you already own Vacation, and want to have your say about it, post a comment here.

2540. One more day!

Written on Tuesday 26 March 2002 at 13:10 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Tomorrow is a big day for everybody in the US! Vacation will be released, and everybody who pre-ordered it will be getting it home very soon too. Europe still has to wait a while, and so does part of our team. However, we hope everybody who gets Vacation tomorrow will enjoy it. For those who have to wait: 5 April is the big day for the europeans. Other games that will come out from Maxis are The Sims Online (Last quarter 2002), The Sims 2 (2003?) and SimCity 4000 (2003?). SimGolf, co-produced by Maxis, should come out 29 March in Europe, so that's another 3 days. Unfortunately we're not sure of all those release dates yet. SimGolf was set at 14 March earlier, but then was delayed again, so maybe that'll happen again this time. We hope not though...
