842. University in November on Mac

Written on Friday 26 August 2005 at 21:53 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's been almost six months since The Sims 2 University was released on the PC, and about 2 months since the Mac release of the original game. Now, Aspyr has announced that the first expansion pack will be available for the Mac in November of this year. The expansion is now in Early Development, which means the release date might still change. Naturally we'll keep you updated as the release nears.

843. More Nightlife Screens

Written on Friday 26 August 2005 at 21:47 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Nightlife has been completed, and that means screenshots made now can show the game in its full glory. Several new screenshots have appeared. One is from the official site, the three others were posted by the Spanish Capital Sims, and originally came from the official Spanish site. Those four can be found below. For more, you can visit the website of the German GameStar magazine. They've posted 42 new screenshots (of the German version) in their screenshots gallery.

844. T-Mail #6

Written on Wednesday 24 August 2005 at 13:53 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Tim has sent another e-mail to the community. This time he gives two screens of Nightlife, showing the day/night button in the neighborhood view. The team has put the finishing touches on the expansion pack, which quite possibly means that it's gone gold. Other than that he tells a bit about the fansite event at Maxis just over a week ago, where several website representatives, including me, visited to check out the Sims 2 on consoles and handhelds. Scot Amos and Virigina McArthur, producers for respectively the Consoles and Handhelds/Mobile versions of the Sims 2, are also introduced. They will probably send out e-mails like Tim in the near future. Read the entire mail in the Read More part, as usual, and see the screenshots by clicking the thumbnails below.

845. Nightlife Cheat Codes

Written on Tuesday 23 August 2005 at 12:45 by Neil - 2 comments.

A list of some of the new cheat codes that will supposedly appear in Nightlife have appeared on a 3rd party website. And as the game isn't out yet, this should be taken with a pinch of salt.

As well as the long term favourite move_objects and motherlode cheats (free access to all objects and lots of money cheats), the new cheats look set to control varying options of graphical quality and realism.

Couple of the new cheats are as follows:

• social_debug - You can tell what social reaction will happen before you do it. So will the sim accept or reject that attempt to tell a dirty joke?
• slowmotion Puts the game in slow motion. The community will find a reason for this one :)
• boolprop lotInfoAdvancedMode - shows some sort of lot information.

Most of the other cheats revolve around views in the neighbourhood. And of course, many of the previous cheats will be retained. But as I say, take it with a pinch of salt. Click here to see the list of cheats.

846. Sims 2 Consoles Preview

Written on Monday 22 August 2005 at 23:50 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

As we mentioned before, we've visited Maxis and the Games Convention earlier this month. On both occasions the Sims 2 on consoles and handhelds was shown. A new special has been opened up, with an exclusive preview of the Sims 2 on Consoles. Included are also many pictures taken at the Games Convention, showing the game in its current (developing) state. In two pages many aspects of the game are covered, from the loading to creating and controlling a sim. Find out about the game in our new special.

847. Sims 2: Bugs, Features, Solutions...

Written on Sunday 21 August 2005 at 01:11 by Neil - 3 comments.

Another revision to this Extra of mine, with some brand new oddities for you to scratch your head over.

We have five new bugs, including a nasty University bug that, well, defeats the whole point of the EP really, the "your friend has been dead for ages why haven't you called him?" bug and a curious one involving the maid's van.

17 new "features" of Sims 2 are also listed - including Zombie capabilities (what you can and can't do with them), what cowplants do when they're hungry, broken universities with custom neighbourhoods and another one which can be only be described as "WooHooing yourself" and remain clean enough to sit on this front page.

Two days ago the annual GamesConvention started in Leipzig, Germany. This gaming expo is one of the biggest public expos where gaming publishes and developers show off their latest upcoming games. Of course Electronic Arts is also showing several games, including the Sims 2 on Consoles and Nightlife for the PC. Several, mostly German, Sims fansites are also attending. TheSims.de has already posted some screenshots of Nightlife taken during the convention, in two posts on their frontpage. The Sims Zone is also at the GamesConvention and we'll post pictures and more in the next week - so stay tuned for more.

Gaming site IGN has posted several new screenshots of the Sims 2 on Consoles and Handhelds (except mobile). There are three screenshots for each version of the game, all fairly small compared to some previous shots. You can see them all below, as usual, by clicking the thumbnails.

850. Nightlife Developer Chat

Written on Saturday 20 August 2005 at 14:52 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Maxis regularly holds developer chats so the fans of the game can meet the team behind it. One of those will be held next Thursday, 25 August. This time you will be able to discuss Nightlife and ask any questions you still have about the upcoming expansion pack, which will be released in less than a month, directly to the team. As usual the chat will be held at 3pm PST, which is 11pm in the UK and midnight CET. You'll need to go to the chat page at that time to join the chat.
