115. Seasons Patch 2
Written on Tuesday 26 June 2007 at 03:22 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.
It's been a while since the first patch for Seasons was released. Recently the second patch has been released, pulled back and re-released again at the official site. The first release of this second patch reintroduced the crying babies bug, but that has been fixed and the fixed version has been out since last week Monday. The list of fixes is long, so here are just some highlights of the new fixes:
  • Sims will no longer pop out of the pool to recognize that it's raining.
  • Drinking Orangeade will now add random badge points correctly.
  • In Education Career Level 4, Sim will now actually lose 475 Simoleans as the UI states, and not get demoted.
  • In Education level 7, Sims will no longer lose all their Simoleans and get demoted, but rather lose the amount shown in the UI as expected.
  • Players will now be warned before the Social Worker takes away children for temperature neglect.
  • Inventory will now update visually when using "undo" after inventory is empty.
  • Seasonal Progression from home lot will now properly transfer to owned community lots.
  • Drinking Orangeade without Open for Business installed will no longer display an incorrect skill badge.
  • Sims will no longer spontaneously combust so easily (hot tubs, exercise machines, etc.).
  • Sims will now much more rarely route through swimming pools when trying to reach locations.
  • Snow saved on Community Lots will now melt properly.
  • Sims will no longer take repeated baths or showers when cold.
  • Vampires will now not get out of their coffin in the daytime to watch weather.
  • Ottomas twins' father data is now correct.
  • Sims will no longer die as easily by being struck by lightning.
  • Visiting "Townie" Sims will not die as often when struck by lightning.
  • Sims will be smarter about seeking out the shortest path to take to player-directed locations.
  • "It's Raining" interactions will not continue to occur after a Sim has seen the weather several times.
  • Teens who happen to age to an adult at the top of Music Career Track on a work day will no longer 'miss work' and get negative job performance.
  • Arch doorways will now trigger Sims to change to Outerwear during winter.
  • Children will no longer levitate when they watch a birth.
For the total that means there are 44 new fixes, along with the 3 earlier fixes. Not all of them will properly affect on existing saved games, and thus replacing an affected object, family, lot or neighborhood that still does not work after installing the patch may be necessary. The patch weighs around 47 Mb, and can be downloaded from the Seasons patch page. Of course earlier updates for previously released Sims games are also still available, and those patches may need to be applied for the correct behaviour of your Sims game as well.
 

116. Bon Voyage Screenshots
Written on Tuesday 26 June 2007 at 03:21 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.
You've already seen the announcement of Bon Voyage here earlier. As long as the official press release is still not out, which we expect will be sometime next month, information about the sixth expansion pack is still scarce though. The pack will, according to the official UK site have three destinations to go to, each with its own landscapes and residents. Sims can go on tours and buy or find unique items. Of course there will be new accomodations to stay at during the holiday for your Sims. The locations include a tropical island, a mountaintop as well as a Far East style. Your Sims can learn new interactions while away from home as well, which they in turn can take home and teach to friends. The three screenshots that have been revealed until now are available to watch below - just click the thumbnails for bigger versions.

Written on Thursday 14 June 2007 at 03:41 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
A while ago we already mentioned The Sims Bowling, a bowling game for mobile handsets branded with Sims. EA Europe has announced its release, and as it seems the game is now available in Europe. Currently it's not available in North America, though it will be brought there soon as well. According to the product page you can create your sim and select the colour of your bowling ball. You have to try to improve your reputation, but as you do so the difficulty of the game will also increase. The game features three ways to play: Classic, Spare-O-Thon and Strike-O-Thon. The press release is not available to the general public, but as service to you, you can just read on to read EA's announcement. The few screenshots that are available can be seen below.

119. Pets Stories Previews
Written on Thursday 14 June 2007 at 03:04 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
Three websites have recently covered The Sims Pet Stories in previews, which also give the first details of what kind of stories can be expected in the soon to be released title. GameSpot, the first of them, starts with what we know: The Sims Stories is for those who are too dazzled with the Sims 2 and want something accessible. Pet Stories will be about Alice who is about to lose her home. Preparing her Dalmatian Sam for a dog show, she hopes she can raise enough money to save her house. It's your task to train the dog and perform various tasks through the 12 chapters of the first story. The other story is about an executive chef Stephen, who gets Diva, his cousin's cat living with him. Just like Life Stories, the game is laptop friendly, runs in a window, and contains a free play mode as well. GameSpot's information is in their preview.

IGN PC gives the pets names, and also mention some of the unique objects in Pet Stories. There will be tires, see-saws and hurdles and ramps to train your pets on. IGN says it won't be possible to export those items to the original Sims version, but if history repeats itself the community will find a way to port the objects to The Sims 2 without problems. IGN also reveals that a dog bed is one of the chapter ending rewards. Details are in the preview. Finally there's WorthPlaying, which mentions Diana Gabor as Alice's competative rival. They also say that Alice's story is focussed on teaching the dog new tricks, whereas Stephen's one is all about housetraining the cat. 70 Dog breeds and 30 cat breeds will be available in the game (The Sims 2 Pets had 72 dogs, 30 cats). Birds and womrats appear to have been phased out, says WorthPlaying, though they still appear in official screenshots. Find WP's words in their preview. The five screenshots that all these websites have published can be seen below as well.

Written on Thursday 14 June 2007 at 03:03 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
After the release of Seasons EA released a few bloopers again. Bugs that occured during development of the expansion, that came with unexpected or simply weird results. Think invisible plant sims, eating pizza the hard way and flying fish here. The two screenshots as well as a video can be found on the official Bloopers page.
