351. Sims 2 Pets: Rumours and new Video

Written on Wednesday 24 May 2006 at 23:18 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

With the appearing of the Sims 2 Pets at E3, rumours about the game have sprung up as well. Gaming shop EB Games had the title in their database for several platforms; first PSP, later on several alternative platforms (PlayStation 2, Nintendo DS, GameCube and the GBA), but by now all product pages for the Sims 2: Pets have been removed. Although it's not unthinkable that a Sims title for consoles and handhelds is currently in the make, the Sims 2: Pets is more than likely the fourth expansion pack for the PC, considering the full E3 trailer (see TheSidDog.com for a new video, near the bottom of the page) has PC-like graphics, and a message from EA just before the E3 saying that the next EP would be shown at the E3. Naturally we'll keep you up-to-date with all the latest news about upcoming Sims games, but until then it's safest to assume that the Sims 2: Pets is primarily the next PC expansion pack.

Written on Friday 12 May 2006 at 04:09 by ChEeTaH - 19 comments.

As announced here earlier, the next expansion pack for the Sims 2 on PC is going to be all about pets. Due to the Internet connection not working at the hotel yesterday, the pictures here are a little later than expected... but they're here. Just click the thumbnails below to see the big versions of the pictures. Although the quality isn't too great, it does show the theme and the logo. More images and a video can be found on TheSidDog.com, and in an E3 line-up video of Electronic Arts at their media center you can see short clip showing artwork of the expansion pack.

357. Little Bit of Sims on E3 After All

Written on Monday 8 May 2006 at 23:29 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Despite earlier reports that there would be no Sims game on the E3 this week at all, SnootySims reports that there will be a trailer of the new expansion pack showing what it will be about. Mmmyrs2, a member on their forums, heard this by e-mail from Tiffany Spencer, PR Manager for EA. The announcement of the pack itself will happen in the weeks after the E3. There won't be many details or reports about the expansion pack though, which will make it a relatively quiet E3 for the Sims this year.

358. New Avatar Items on Official site

Written on Saturday 6 May 2006 at 00:17 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The official site has a MySim feature, with which registered users can make a Sim-avatar using several outfits. Since January this year Maxis has twice improved the create-an-avatar tool adding content for Nightlife and Open for Business respectively. Now it's time for Family Fun to get some of its content being used in avatars. Maxis has indeed added some new content in Family Fun style to use when you edit your avatar.

359. Family Fun Stuff Patch Arrived

Written on Wednesday 26 April 2006 at 00:40 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

We recently reported about one specific bug in Family Fun Stuff, and as posted in a BBS thread there are many others as well (although missing custom content is easily fixed by enabling it and restarting the game). Nevertheless Maxis has fixed two main problems with a new patch. Family Fun Stuff content will no longer disappear from the game after usage. The other problem that's been solved is an object error when both the helicopter and the nanny car arrived at the same time. Even though these are just two changes, the patch takes 26 Mb of disk space for the download. You can get it from the update page.

360. EA Settles in Overtime Lawsuit for Engineers

Written on Wednesday 26 April 2006 at 00:31 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Back in October of last year EA settled in a class action lawsuit about overtime compensation for Computer Graphics artists. Developers and employees of EA, including at least Sims 2 and the Urbz team members, were not paid for overtime they had to work to get a product finished in time. Now a similar case, filed by computer programmers (engineers) has also been settled. EA will make a payment of $14.9 million, which will need to cover all claims as well as attorney fees, incentive payments and administrative costs of the settlement. Any money that remains unclaimed will go to the Ronald McDonald House Charities, and it will also be used to establish scholarships at five universities (Carnegie Mellon University, Cornell University, Georgia Tech, Stanford University, and Morehouse/Spelman College) for female and under-represented minority students interested in studying interactive entertainment. EA doesn't expect the settlement will financially impact the fiscal fourth quarter 2006 by much. More information is to be found in the full press release.
