681. TS2 PSP Delayed for Europe

Written on Thursday 22 December 2005 at 02:36 by ChEeTaH - 5 comments.

The PSP version of the Sims 2 is out in North America and Australia already, and Europe would get it this week. Just before that release though, EA Europe has moved the release of the game to next year. Rather than the game arriving on the shelves this week, you'll now have to wait until 13 January 2006 if you're out to get The Sims 2 on your PSP in Europe. This has been officially confirmed for at least the UK and Germany, but the new date most likely counts for the entire region covered by EA Europe. This should be the final release date for the game, but in case it changes again we'll let you know as soon as possible.

682. Possible Open for Business Release Date

Written on Wednesday 21 December 2005 at 17:41 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Our affiliate SimsZone has reported that besides the German name and pack shot, there's also a release date. This date was put on the release date list of EA Germany - there is no release date for other territories yet, and this one can still change. So far the game is expected in Europe on 2 March 2006. North America can expect the game in the same week, so sometime between 27 February to 3 March next year. Of course we'll let you know if this changes or gets confirmed.

685. Mascot with Open for Business Pre-order

Written on Monday 19 December 2005 at 01:46 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

Open for Business is arriving in the first quarter of next year, and shops have already started taking pre-orders. Our shop is one of them, but EBGames is doing the same. As a gift, they now have a promotion up that if you pre-order the game there, you can get an exclusive Sims mascot and a life-size sculpture to promote that your shop is the best in the hood. It seems the offer is only available in the US. It's not sure whether Amazon or other online shops will have the same offer.

Written on Saturday 17 December 2005 at 14:32 by MissWendy - 0 comments.

Hello all! I just uploaded 9 bedrooms sets. When designing my sims homes I prefer that their rooms are color cooridinated and matching, so I thought I would share a few of my favorite patterns. Please feel free to leave any comments or request of certain patterns. All sets are recolores of the Maxis originals. You can download them from my section. Enjoy!

687. Sims 2 (Mac) Patch C

Written on Saturday 17 December 2005 at 03:14 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's no news that games ship with some bugs in them. The same goes for the Sims 2 on the Mac. Aspyr has released a third patch for the game. This patch solves a conflict with NVidia video cards in combination with OS X version 10.4.3. The patch also includes the fixes for the previous two patches, so you don't need those for this patch. You can download the patch from MacGameFiles. For a full list of fixes, including those of the previous patches, check Aspyr's patch page.

688. Open for Business T-Mail 2

Written on Saturday 17 December 2005 at 03:08 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

One of the last, if not the last, T-Mails of the year has arrived. Tim LeTourneau, Senior Producer for the Sims 2 expansion packs, has given an update on the upcoming expansion pack Open for Business. He says that the team just hit a major milestone (he doesn't say which one exactly), and that there's now a lot of tuning, polishing and gameplaying going on. Included are two screenshots and a 37 second movie. Besides that Hunter Howe, designer on the team of the expansion pack, gives some insight in what goes on behind the scenes and how things work, using several constants. He also mentions business perks, which are rewards for the business owner when the place is running well. All those bits can be found in the Read More part of the newspost you're reading now. For the screenshots, click the thumbnails below, or follow the links to the movie if you wish to see that (QuickTime required).
