151. Glamour Life Stuff Pictures and Info

Written on Sunday 9 July 2006 at 03:23 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

After several mentions on online shops of the upcoming stuff pack, known as "Glamour Stuff" until now, there's now some more concrete information regarding the stuff pack. The Thai EA site has published a product page of the stuff pack, which contains some basic information as well as some screenshots. As far as rumours go, mostly from pre-order pages (which no longer exist), the mini expansion will be released late August. The screenshots also reveal a more detailed name: in the right bottom corner the logo is displayed, with the title "The Sims 2 Glamour Life Stuff" 'Srikwan01' on the official site's BBS ('The T' on TheSimsResource) has found the page and posted some information in his TSR blog. You can find that text, as well as some item descriptions in the Read More part of this post. Click the five screenshot thumbnails to see larger versions - the other images are the Thai logo, as well as a few artworks of some of the 60 objects in the pack. Thanks to SnootySims for the find.

152. "Sims Played By" deadline at 5 July

Written on Friday 30 June 2006 at 00:26 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

We recently reported about EA looking for fans for their new Sims Played By commercials. W+K, the advertising company organising the campaign, has set a deadline for applicants. You have until July 5th, next week Wednesday, to submit a story and information of yourself, if you wish to apply for the campaign. If you're selected, you get to play the upcoming Sims games for a week at the EA headquarters in Redwood City (near San Francisco, California). After that W+K will review all entries and select players to contact. They will be asked for additional information and creative work. Fill in the questionnaire within a week to make a chance to be in the campaign.

153. EP4 Sneak Preview: Rotating Floor Tiles

Written on Friday 16 June 2006 at 16:12 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Like MaxoidHunter revealed earlier, the new expansion pack for the Sims 2 will make it easier to make custom paintings. Now MaxoidShannon, producer on the Sims 2 games, has another sneak preview for one of the features of the new expansion pack: rotating floor tiles. You will be able to easily rotate floor tiles by using the < and > buttons. This allows for more custom designs to be made, especially with patterns covering more than one tile. Along with the BBS message, there are three screenshots which you can see below. They show several floor patterns, all made with just one floor pattern (texture).

154. Making Paintings Easier in new EP

Written on Tuesday 13 June 2006 at 02:15 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Although the new expansion - which is very likely to be about pets - is not yet officially announced, Maxis is able to give away a little sneak peak of a new feature of the pack. After last week's message, MaxoidHunter has now posted info about one of the features along with three screenshots on the BBS. It's all about custom paintings - although this is already possible, in a "very roundabout" way - Maxis has decided to design an interface to facilitate custom paintings. In the next EP you can choose Sims to create a painting of a picture stored in a special folder in the Sims 2 directory. Your Sim will still need enough creative skills to be able to paint such a still life. The interface also allows you to stretch the image to fit, to crop it or to make it fill the canvas. Read the BBS post for more details, and check out the screenshots below as well.

155. Show the World How You Play

Written on Tuesday 13 June 2006 at 01:37 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

The Sims Played By campaign hasn't been updated for a while, not since February when it was for Open for Business. Probably for the upcoming expansion pack, and possibly console games as well, the advertising company for EA, W+K, is again looking for fans of the game to show how they play the game. To get in all you have to do is fill in a questionnaire, and submit some of your work. The questions in the questionnaire again hint towards the pets expansion, with questions like "If you could teach a pet any trick what would it be and why," and "Write a short story about a walrus, a toaster, two pounds of dog food and an umbrella." If you're lucky, you might be invited to EA to work on the next advertising campaign. For more details about entering, see the information page on the official site.

156. Blogging Maxoids

Written on Monday 12 June 2006 at 20:13 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Blogging is a popular thing on the Internet, and now Maxoids have started doing it as well. On the official site there are six recently posted blogs from Maxoids - some longer than others. A few Sims 2 team members tell about their work, others just put up an anecdote or random story. First there's MaxisLittleL, who tells about the Design Pit, where the designers for the Sims 2 do their work. She also tells about how the design and production teams are able to socialise and discuss the game during work. Next is MaxoidDrea of the web team. She says what the web team does, and also recaps on an old easter egg on the site, made around the time when the Sims 2 was released. MaxoidKitty explains how she picks items to be featured, and gives a few hints and tips for your Sims and Lots on the exchange.

MaxoidWarlern has a story about a Llama herder, and MaxoidGromit isn't feeling too well. Finally MaxoidGrant tells about his job - making up catalog texts for objects in the game. He includes two texts as a sample, but also has a couple of names for objects in one of the upcoming products. For more blog updates in the future, check the MySim Pages index.

158. The Sims 2: Pets: Pictures and Videos

Written on Friday 12 May 2006 at 04:09 by ChEeTaH - 19 comments.

As announced here earlier, the next expansion pack for the Sims 2 on PC is going to be all about pets. Due to the Internet connection not working at the hotel yesterday, the pictures here are a little later than expected... but they're here. Just click the thumbnails below to see the big versions of the pictures. Although the quality isn't too great, it does show the theme and the logo. More images and a video can be found on TheSidDog.com, and in an E3 line-up video of Electronic Arts at their media center you can see short clip showing artwork of the expansion pack.

159. Survey Revealed EP ideas

Written on Saturday 6 May 2006 at 00:06 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Last week the official site briefly had a survey online, most of which was about the last expansion pack, Open for Business. The first half of the questions was about how you heard about OfB, what you like most about it, etc., but after that a couple of possible expansion pack concepts where given. Whether Maxis is planning to make one of these, or perhaps already making one, is unsure, but it's very well possible that one of the ideas will actually be made into an official expansion pack. Of course pets are mentioned again, as well as the returning vacation idea which has appeared in previous surveys as well, albeit a little different, and this time mentioning weather as well. Other ideas are about taking Sims back in time, a new hospital in town, expanding on the youth years of the Sims, seasons (including neighborhood changes and weather), and castaway Sims on a tropical island. Finally there's also a somewhat different idea, which is much like an adventure game as seen on handhelds before: something strange has happened in the neighborhood, and by socialising you need to figure out details of the puzzle to solve the mystery.

Besides the concepts, several new features were given of which a couple could be picked as favourite which should appear in a future expansion pack for the Sims 2. Plans for the Next Generation consoles - XBox 360, Playstation 3 and Nintendo Wii (known as Revolution earlier) - also seem to exist, as one question asked about interest in a game on one of those consoles. So far no details of new console games have been announced though. The eight expansion concepts and 27 features are all in the read more bit of this newspost. Read More!
