682. Lucy's Weekly Newsletter

Written on Saturday 5 June 2004 at 19:29 by ChEeTaH - 4 comments.

Another e-mail from Lucy has arrived, which you can read entirely in the read more part. In the mail she describes how Maxis helps the paper industry by using lots of Post-it notes. The office is filled with them, and on every one of them there's a task for The Sims 2 that's to be done. If it's done, it will be stamped "done" in red. She also talks a bit about the new logo, which everybody is "very excited about" (like they are about everything really...). Also some slightly more details about the refreshed fansite kit have been given. It doesn't include only the new logo, but also new images and artwork, and even some desktop wallpapers. Two wallpapers have been given to us in several sizes (800x600, 1024x768 and 1680x1050) which you can put on your computer, so you'll never forget about The Sims 2. One of them is similar to what has been posted before with the launch of the UK Sims 2 website. The other one is a collage of many screenshots of The Sims 2. You can download them using the links below. Note that they're quite big (we've posted them in high quality), so it may take a while for them to load. To use them as wallpaper, right-click the image (once loaded) and choose to set it as wallpaper from the menu. To other webmasters: as usual, please do not hot-link to these images (or any other files or screenshots), but link to this article instead if you want to tell your visitors about it. Thank you.

683. Sims 2 Website Redesigned

Written on Friday 4 June 2004 at 01:05 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Maxis has redesigned the official site to match the new logo. That logo was introduced around the E3 and has been spotted on several movies and screenshots before. The new site has a slightly different look, though the place of all content and the content itself are still the same. A new fansite pack has also been uploaded, which you can download from the fansites page. You can start staring at the new design on the fresh Sims 2 homepage.

684. SimDay: Your Help Wanted

Written on Thursday 3 June 2004 at 12:13 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's a very small SimDay this week. There's the monthly community update on the official site. More news is that Maxis is holding a focus group again on 16 June in the Sunnyvale, California area. You need to have The Sims, and you'll be discussing The Sims 2 with other fans. Check out the official site for details. Finally there's an update of The URBZ. In the new blog, Alex Hutchinson (Lead Designer) talks about the Rep again:

"Everyone wants to be the big man (or woman) around town. Or at least I did, once, long ago, before I realized I was instead destined to be a designer of videogames and borderline alcoholic. It's one of those big fat universal desires that keeps every youngster up at night. Who hasn't harbored a vision of themselves as the kind of person who skips queues at clubs, or who comes home to bulging answering machines and overflowing letterboxes?"

You can find it all on the URBZ Website.

Snooty Sims has posted a few pictures of The Sims 2 in action taken at the E3. They were taken from a TV/video screen, and the quality isn't great. That's no reason to keep them from you though - just click the thumbnails for slightly bigger versions.

687. New Mail, New Screens

Written on Saturday 29 May 2004 at 14:57 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

We've received another e-mail from Lucy, as usual every week. It's all about aspirations again. Lucy tells us that her aspiration is for us to buy the game, and tell others about how great it is. Then those others should buy the game and tell their friends about it again, and so on until everybody's playing the game. This doesn't necessarily mean there will be a "World Domination" aspiration track in the game too though... Anyway, here are four screenshots included with the mail. They are of 4 of 5 known aspiration tracks (there should be 10 in total, according to the E3 news), the "Fortune" track isn't included. Enjoy them, and read the "Read more" bit for Lucy's complete email.

688. New Sims 2 Screens

Written on Friday 28 May 2004 at 23:37 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The scoop newsletter is out again as June comes close. There isn't much news in it though. It starts with some links to the SimDay screenshots and movie. It ends with a link to the BodyShop Showcase. The middle part is more interesting though: there are 4 new screens of the party at the Baxter's. I.e., more Don, Sarah, their son and of course Dina, Don's old flame. For those who still don't know the story, it's here in short (from the newsletter). Click the thumbnails below for the full size screenshots.

"Don's life aspiration is Romance, whereas his wife Sarah's goal is Family. Don's old flame Dina is at Don's son's birthday party, and ol' Don just wants to talk, flirt and more with his old heartthrob. The party gets sticky when Sarah's sister catches Don "cozying up" to Dina back in the quiet cabana. Sarah's sister dutifully defends her honor and that's when things get really fun."

690. SimDay

Written on Thursday 27 May 2004 at 20:32 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's another SimDay today, and a rather busy one. First of all, there's the press release about The Sims Mega Deluxe which shipped tuesday. As announced, the Prom Fashion Show was held, and the results are in. 10 couples have been picked and are showcased on the Prom Fashion Show page.

When it comes to The Sims 2, there are 3 new screenshots (click thumbnails to enlarge). You can see the E3 trailer as well (again), on the videos page. The URBZ also has SimDay, and a new blog has been posted. Alex Hutchinson, Lead designer of the game, talks about the design decisions they make while creating the game. The blog and a new (gameplay) movie of the GBA version can be found at the URBZ website.
