363. Unofficial Patch for FFS Bug

Written on Sunday 16 April 2006 at 22:40 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The bug reported about yesterday, in Family Fun Stuff, has already been fixed by the community. Although it will make the Family Fun icon disappear on the clothes provided by the pack, it does prevent them from being deleted after you use them. PatchesSim2 has provided the patch on ModTheSims2. Meanwhile an official patch for the pack is still underway. Thanks to Babbelsim and Hiki from the official Dutch site for providing the link.

364. Commercial Contest Winners

Written on Sunday 16 April 2006 at 22:28 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Several weeks ago Maxis launched a contest in which members of the official site were asked to create a commercial for a business from Open for Business. Winners could receive a brand new nVidia PC, or a video card by the same company. The winners have now been revealed, with pancaketitz8's commercial for WWBTC being the grand prize winner. Second prize winners, the video cards, go to booey4864 (Nutty Ned), m1tchm (Macabre Mart) and Ninhead1011 (Big Jon's). There are also 6 honorable mentions, picked from over 100 entries in total. All videos can be downloaded from the winners page.

365. Family Fun Stuff Bug

Written on Saturday 15 April 2006 at 02:55 by ChEeTaH - 6 comments.

More Family Fun Stuff news, this time specifically for owners of the pack. Not only will they see the icon on the left on their MySims page on the official site, they will also experience a bug with the new clothes. When you use one of the new outfits in Create-A-Sim mode, to dress your Sim, the selected outfit will disappear from the game after restarting it. The Sim (or Sims) will still be wearing the clothes. The outfit will not only disappear from CAS, but also from community lot purchases. The only work-around so far is to give Sims the Family Fun Stuff clothes through purchase on a community lot rather than through CAS. This way, the bug won't occur. If you backed up your user data (neighborhoods, downloads, etc) before installing the Stuff Pack, you can uninstall and reinstall the pack to get the outfits back, but this will mean you lose your progress made since the pack was installed. Maxis is working on a patch, which should solve the problem soon. When exactly the patch will be released is unclear. For more information see MaxoidKane's post on the official BBS. Thanks to SnootySims and Hiki for the tips.

366. The Sims 2 Open For Business - Open All Hours or Closing Down? - Part 5

Written on Friday 14 April 2006 at 08:02 by Andy - 0 comments.

Just over a month ago, we began our review of "Open For Business" but due to my moving house, I was without an internet connection for almost 3 weeks. For those who are still on tenterhooks to find out what else there is to find, the wait is over.

"Martha's Kitchen" is now open for business. Find out about the mechanics of running a bakery and whether she could indeed make a profit from her unorthodox cooking.

With also sections on running restaurants, here's hoping you will feel you have got value for money from this fifth part of our indepth review.

You can find it right here.

367. Family Fun Stuff Producer Mail

Written on Thursday 6 April 2006 at 02:07 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

We've had Luc-Mails (Luc Barthelet) and Lucy-Mails (Lucy Bradshaw) for the Sims 2, T-Mails (Tim LeTourneau) for University, Nightlife and Open for Business, H-Mails (Hunter Howe) for Open for Business as well, and this time we have an L-Mail for you about the Family Stuff Pack that will be out on PC later this month. Lyndsay Pearson, Associate Producer for the game, tells what a Stuff pack is, and how it's made. As example the toybox is used. She concludes with a few items that will be in the pack, as well as her own experience with it. Of course plenty of graphics are included, this time containing several sketches and artworks, as well as the odd screenshot. You can see them all below, as well as within the e-mail which is posted in the Read More part (see below). The last screenshot listed right below here wasn't directly included in the e-mail.

368. Family Fun Stuff More Expensive [Update - April Fools]

Written on Saturday 1 April 2006 at 13:59 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The first "Stuff" pack for the Sims 2, Family Fun Stuff, will be released later this month. Although previously it was said to be sold at a price of $20, EA has decided to increase the price. Packaging and shipping costs are the main reason. The so-called "Gold Master" CD, the very first CD containing the product which will then be copied to the pressed versions, was broken. The pack had already gone gold, yet unannounced by a press release from EA. This has made millions of already printed copies unusable. These copies cannot be sold anymore, and will be destroyed next week. A new, working version has been made yesterday and is in testing over the weekend. It's expected to be sent to the CD printing factories next week. Family Fun Stuff will be released in stores a week later, but a version at EA Downloader will be released at the given date of 13 April. Due to this misprint the pack will also be sold at a higher price than mentioned before for the first couple of weeks: $25 instead of $20. Availability of the product might also be lower than usual. The price will probably drop back to $20 when the next Stuff pack is released. That rumoured Glamour pack is expected late June. If nothing goes wrong with that, Glamour Stuff will probably start selling at $20.


[Update 2 April, 1:04] Did we kid you? The truth is that Family Fun Stuff will be released on time, in the week of 13 April, for the price of $20 (or roughly the equivalent in any other local currency). Although the game has probably gone gold by now, considering the short time to the release, this has not yet been announced or confirmed by EA. An EA Downloader version too has not yet been confirmed. All the details about that will be posted here as we get the news. Next year, keep in mind that the first of April is a day when we'll post something that's not entirely true... Read More!

369. Lots of Lots

Written on Saturday 1 April 2006 at 02:02 by Jendea - 0 comments.

I've added five new lots today - three residental and two community lots for businesses. As some of you know, I like to play without the money cheat, so all these lots are good values (pretty cheap!) for the square footage. :)

I created the two community lots for my game as well and, consequently, they are admittedly and purposefully very simple. Both turned out to be easy start-ups for young sims, so I thought I would share them too.
Happy Simming!

You can find all 5 lots under my section:jendea.
