311. Get A Life Genuine Sims Product

Written on Thursday 7 September 2006 at 16:56 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

A little while ago we reported about a game called "The Sims 2: Get a Life" for the PC. Now another online retailer in South Africa, Take2, has a listing of the Get a Life Edition of the Sims 2. The recommended retail price of 300 South African Rand comes down to roughly £21 or $40 (US), slightly cheaper than what was reported earlier. The little price difference may be merely because of the difference in region. The word "Edition" suggests that this is a repackaging of the Sims 2, probably bundled with either an expansion pack or stuff pack, or multiple of them. Exact details are however still unclear, and nothing can really be assumed at the time. The release date listed on Take2 is also different from the earlier mentioned 29 September: Take2 expects the product to be out early February next year. Thanks to Sims2Community for spotting the product listing.

That the pack is genuine is confirmed by MaxoidMoonBelly, who in a BBS post says "information will be released at some point in time, in the future. Patience for the perfectly baked goods will offer rich rewards of chewy goodness." The post has been updated yesterday, and MaxoidMoonBelly said "it is a legitimate EA/Sims product, more information will be coming out soon," before. Of course we'll keep you up-to-date with details around this new edition of the Sims 2.

312. GameSpot Previews Pets on PC - Movies and Screenshots

Written on Thursday 7 September 2006 at 16:18 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

We already reported about GameSpy's report about The Sims 2 Pets for PC, the upcoming expansion pack, last week. But GameSpot also published a preview of the expansion last week, along with a host of screenshots and videos. The preview describes the Create a Pet mode, as well as their scratching or chewing behaviour. Their moods are briefly mentioned, and that it affects their performance at work. GameSpot concludes that it's interesting how it will turn out in the end, since time is a limited resource in the game, and taking care of a pet requires that important resource. After reading the preview, you can also check out the 14 new screenshots or the 3 new "Gameplay" movies, all posted 29 August 2006. You can also find the new screenshots below.

313. Glamour Life Memory Game

Written on Sunday 3 September 2006 at 03:39 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Recently Glamour Life was promoted with a mini game in which you can decorate a home using items from the stuff pack. Now Maxis has created a second mini-game on the official site, which is a memory game. You have to find and match items from the stuff pack, and so get the complete puzzle solved. It can be found through a hidden link on the About page of Glamour Life. Try to find it yourself, but if you're unable to find it, or just too lazy you can also head straight to the memory game.

314. New Pets Screenshots and Artworks

Written on Thursday 24 August 2006 at 05:05 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The official site has recently been updated with various new screenshots of the Sims 2 pets - on all platforms. There are some Create a Pet screenshots for all platforms, as well as some generic in-game scenes on the PC and various handhelds. Besides all that, we also have a few artworks which were left behind at the announcement, all directly from EA. As if that's not enough, we also have five screenshots for the Nintendo DS and one for the GBA from DS-x2, found by GibbieSims. Check out everything by clicking the thumbnails below.

315. Sims and Children

Written on Wednesday 23 August 2006 at 04:20 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Similar to an article earlier this year published by the New York Times, the UK newspaper the Telegraph has posted an article on their website about the Sims, and how young children play the game. They've interviewed Bethany Howe, 11, and her mother. Bethany showed the Telegraph around her houses, families and neighbourhoods, as well as the creation of a Sim. Her mother is alright with Bethany playing so much, since the game is safe and non-graphic. Caroline Pelletier from London University's Centre for the Study of Children, Youth and Media explains how little girls playing the Sims tend to explore subversive behaviour with the game. Covering five pages, you can check out the entire article for all the little details.

316. Glamour Life MySims Icon

Written on Wednesday 23 August 2006 at 04:01 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

With the news that the MySims icon for Family Fun Stuff has changed also comes the news of the icon that will be used for Glamour Life Stuff, which is to be released later this month. Rigglyby on the official site's BBS has already found the image, which is that of a sculpture. You can see the images for registered (coloured) and unregistered (grey) games below. Thanks to SnootySims for the tip.

317. New Family Fun Stuff MySims Icon

Written on Wednesday 23 August 2006 at 03:57 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

To clear up the official website a bit, Maxis has changed the MySims icon for Family Fun Stuff, shown on everyone's MySims page. The original wheel made it unclear to people with lower-end video cards, as the difference between registered and unregistered was hard to tell. The toybox has now taken its place, after it won over the Mardi Gras mask in a little survey held by Maxis. More information has been posted by MaxoidDrea. You can see the registered (coloured) and unregistered (grey) icons below.

318. Festive Holiday Stuff Update

Written on Wednesday 23 August 2006 at 03:48 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Over a month ago we reported about the third stuff pack possibly being Festive Holiday Stuff. This has now more or less been confirmed by EA Germany, which gave a release list to GameStar, a German magazine. With an expected release in Germany of 9 November, the pack can be expected in the US around 7 November and the UK at the 10th. The date may vary a little for other countries. The exact contents or price of the pack is unknown, although EBGames has had a listing of it according to SnootySims. Under the title "Happy Holiday Stuff" a release date of 7 November was put, and a Holiday Edition 2006 of the game, most likely a bundle of the Sims 2 and the Stuff pack, was also listed. Both listings have now disappeared from the website though, and the pack can no longer be pre-ordered from EBGames. Naturally we'll keep you up-to-date with any news about this (still rumoured) stuff pack.

319. Open for Business Gold on Mac

Written on Wednesday 23 August 2006 at 02:43 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Aspyr has updated their project status page with the information that Open for Business has gone gold for Mac. That means it's now in the final stages of production and will soon be shipped to shops worldwide. Although an exact release date is not given by Aspyr itself, their main online retailer Amazon US currently reports a shipping date of 4 September, while Amazon UK says it'll be out 1 September. Making things more confusing is MacWorld, which reports that the game will be out this week. The exact date remains uncertain, but it's almost certain that it'll be released in the next few weeks. Whether Aspyr is planning to release the stuff packs on the Mac platform as well is currently uncertain.

320. Glamour Life Mini-game

Written on Wednesday 23 August 2006 at 02:33 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

To promote Glamour Life Stuff, EA has published a mini-game similar to that of Family Fun Stuff. With the game (which requires Flash 8) you can drag several items and Sims to a room, and so decorate your favourite glamour room. You can play the game as much as you like, straight from the web.
