383. Belated Simday

Written on Saturday 30 April 2005 at 22:27 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

A slightly late report about last Thursday, as usual Simday on the official site. Maxis has improved their site a little bit again, by improving the search possibilities for lots. You can search on lots whether they have Custom Content, on Lot Size, Number of Floors, and Lot Value now, giving you a bigger chance of getting what you want. Other than that, there are some links we mentioned earlier, namely the GameSpot articles about The Sims 2 on console and mobile phones. New is also the intro, which now promoted the recently launched movie contest.

As for the Sims 2 on consoles, handhelds and mobile phones, Maxis has posted new information pages. There are pages for all platforms the game will be out on later this year: Playstation 2, XBox, GameCube, GBA, DS, PSP and Phones. There is just one bit of information from these pages so far, which is about the GBA version:

"Between episodes participate in all new unique mini-games such as car and soda commercials. How well you do helps determine how good your ratings are."

Other than that, the following small artworks were posted:

386. Nightlife T-Mail

Written on Thursday 28 April 2005 at 15:22 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Tim LeTourneau, producer of the Sims 2 expansion packs, has sent out another e-mail with an update on The Sims 2 Nightlife, the second expansion pack that's due this fall. This time he tells that the team is gearing up for E3, where the expansion will be shown to visitors. He also says how much the team thinks about the community when developing an expansion pack, implementing features that may not be in for a mainstream announcement, but that fans do want. For instance, there will be half-height walls, and new counter-island corners. Animated lights are "pretty amazing too", as you can rotate them and create different patterns. Besides that, the game will now allow diagonal and L-shaped pools without using cheats. All can be seen on the included screenshots, for which you'll have to click the thumbnails for larger versions. Read on for Tim's exact words.

387. GameSpot on TS2 Mobile

Written on Thursday 28 April 2005 at 15:12 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

After the announcement games site GameSpot has had a first look at the Sims 2 on mobiles. It mentions some features, like the SimQ, a meter which shows how well you are doing in the game. You have to complete mini-goals to improve your SimQ. The game will be mobile-oriented, allowing short sessions of 3-5 minutes, rather than having to take hours to accomplish something. It will feature a complete Create-A-Sim mode, and it even allows you to import a character from the PC version by uploading a Sim to a special WAP site. Copying Sims over through SMS is another possibility, but you'll also be able to just get into your phone's phonebook at any time in the game, and send your friends short messages. Of course there is also some decoration to be done. The game will be released in three versions, a 64Kb one for lightweight phones, and two heavier 128Kb and 178Kb versions. The latter will feature a bigger and richer world. For more information see the preview. The two screenshots below are new as well (do click the thumbnails to see slightly larger versions in this case).
