451. EA Downloader serves Sims 2 Pets

Written on Tuesday 10 October 2006 at 20:13 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

If you want to buy the Sims 2 Pets for PC, but don't feel like going to the store or having to wait for the mailman to deliver your copy in the mail, then EA Downloader will be a solution for you. Pets will be the first expansion pack of the Sims 2, after two Stuff packs and last year's Holiday Party Pack, which will be available through EA's game downloading service. With a download of close to 700 Mb it'll take a while to get it, but you can already pre-load most of it. The last bits and pieces will become available to you on the day of release, 17 October, allowing you to install and play the game as soon as it's released. The price is the same as that for the in-store packages: $29.99, or £19.99. Note that you will not get a disc, manual or box when you purchase the game at EA Downloader. You do get the bonus bandit cat when pre-ordering the game through EA downloader. Check the British or American product page to order the game. If you live somewhere else, go to either product page and then pick your region on the top-right of the page.

454. Sims 2 Pets Mobile in Europe

Written on Tuesday 10 October 2006 at 20:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

We've already caught some rumours earlier about the Sims 2 Pets being in the make for mobile phones. This has now been confirmed more or less by more recent press releases, which state that the mobile version will be released in Europe only in December this year, after the European success with the Sims 2 recently reaching the 1 million downloads. There are currently no rumours or anything saying that the game will also be released in the US or elsewhere in the world. Details of the game have not been released yet, but if anything shows up we'll let you know.

456. Second Pets Training Paper

Written on Thursday 28 September 2006 at 01:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

A month ago Maxis posted a training paper of the Sims 2 Pets, in which a few details of breeds as well as looks and personality of pets were explained. In the second issue Maxis gives away many more breed details, for both cats and dogs, but also some tips about training and playing with the pets. New information is that dogs and cats can be taken out for a walk, something that as you can read in our special (which will be continued again very soon!) was only implemented recently. The paper also mentions some interactions which improve the pets' needs, as well as training birds (PC only) to talk. Read the full training paper for all the information.

458. Sims 2 Mobile hits 1 Million Downloads in Europe; Pets on Mobile?

Written on Thursday 28 September 2006 at 00:44 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

EA Europe announced last week that the Sims 2 for mobile phones has reached the 1 Million downloads in Europe, within the first seven months of release in December 2005. The press release announcing this milestone also mentions the Sims 2 Pets being in production for mobile phones, although no details or screenshots of it have been revealed so far. The press release says you'll be able to pick the appearance and gender of the Sims' pet, adopt and name the puppy, and of course being able to teach tricks. You can also take pets to the park. Taking care and training a pet is important, and "leaving your dog unattended near a freshly planted flower bed probably isn't wise." The press release has more details about the achieved milestone.

459. Sims 3 Already in Production?

Written on Thursday 28 September 2006 at 00:33 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Following an earlier rumour, there's also the rumour going that Maxis is already working on the Sims 3. Every summer students from all over the world work as intern at Electronic Arts studios. MTV has interviewed a couple of them, of which one has worked on the Sims Division. Gwynne Olson-Wheeler, 21, worked on graphics for the Sims 2 Pets, but signs on the walls saying "Welcome 'Sims 3' team" also indicated that the Sims 3 might already be in the make. While nothing is of course confirmed by EA yet, it is not unlikely the Sims 3 will come at some point in time. Nevertheless it'll probably still take a few years before anything will be published about it. For now, read the MTV article for the few details that are out.

460. Sims 2 Best on Mac

Written on Thursday 28 September 2006 at 00:25 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The Sims 2 is not only available on PC, but also Macs are able to run Aspyr's port of the game. That edition has recently been awarded with the Best Mac OS X Game, at the Apple Worldwide Developers Conference. Aspyr is "very proud of the work we [Aspyr] did with Sims 2 to make it feel like a home-grown Mac game, and want to keep that attention to detail in all our future Mac titles," as stated in their September newsletter in which Aspyr announces that they won the award. With the Sims 2 being a game originally from PC, like many Mac games from Aspyr's studios originally started on PC or XBox, it means the Sims 2 has excelled in using the Mac's features, otherwise Apple wouldn've have given the award to the Sims 2. For a few more details, read the newsletter.
