Tim LeTourneau has sent his fifth mail last night, and as you may expect it's all in Valentine's day style. Tim mentions the new possibility the Sims 2 University will bring regarding love. Teenage Sims, even townies, can now be sent to University, so they too can get engaged and married eventually. Townies will become playable that way, as after graduating they will become available in the Family bin. Included are three screenshots. Two of them we've shown yesterday, though today they come in a slightly larger version. You can see all three of them by clicking the thumbnails.

476. New University Screens and Artworks

Written on Tuesday 15 February 2005 at 00:35 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Today is Valentine's day, and several official (European) sites have posted e-cards in Valentine-style online. Other than that, the Dutch site has also posted a Sims 2 screensaver (click the "Nu Downloaden" next to the screensaver image to download it). This screensaver updates itself with new screenshots of the game, and currently it's loaded with University screenshots. Of course they are romantic screenshots on Valentine's day. You can see them below.

Besides that, the screensaver comes with something extra to promote University: a small shockwave movie which shows some artworks. Those show what different students will be doing during their time at university. In order of the images as posted below, they say "Hanging on the phone with my friends all day long," "Playing Rock&Roll until I have blisters on my fingers," "Studying, and winning the Nobel Prize eventually," "Partying 'til I drop," "Discovering my own style," and "Uhhhhh..." The final artwork says Sims will be on campus from 10 March, and you decide what they do. Thanks to SimParool for the find. Click the thumbnails below to see large versions.

478. Official Site Nominated

Written on Saturday 12 February 2005 at 00:07 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The game itself has already won several awards, including several Game of the Year ones. It's a great success with over 4.5 million copies sold in just 5 months' time, but the website has never really won anything. That might change though, as the official website of the Sims 2, TheSims2.ea.com, has been nominated for the SXSW 2005 Web Awards. Nominees for these awards are all websites that launched or were redesigned in the past year. The Sims 2 is nominated in the Community/Wiki category, thanks to the huge amount of members on the exchange, helping the site to get some content. Other nominees in the same category are Digital Web Magazine, Dogster, Spiceplay and SuperBorrowNet. Besides the Judges' choice, there's also a People's Choice award where you can cast your vote for your favourite site until 1 March 2005. The awards ceremony will be held 13 March.

It's SimDay again, and Maxis comes with several new things. The first are four romantic screenshots, all for Valentine's day. You can see those below or on the screenshots section on the official site. There's also an old video of the Sims 2 University, in which you see some students play some pool. If you haven't seen it yet or want to see it again, head over to the official video page. And finally there's another interview, this time with Tim LeTourneau on 1UP.com. Although most of the information is old, a few new things are mentioned. For example some specific new wants and fears:

"Well there are many tied to the new objects and interactions in the game. They also have wants related to academics, like 'Write Term Paper,' or 'Make Dean's List.'"

Tim also answers no a few specific items and features that 1Up would like to see in the game, including Scarface posters, Grateful Dead or Phising T-Shirts, student protests or bringing laundry home to parents. Read the complete interview for the exact details.
