421. Open for Business European Packshot

Written on Thursday 5 January 2006 at 22:33 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Although the box artwork for Open for Business was already discovered in November, we now have the official pack shot for the expansion pack, as it will be in Europe. Although the Nightlife box still shows the old "EA Games" logo, the Christmas Party Pack already had the new logo saying just "EA". Open for Business will be the first full Sims expansion pack in Europe with that same new logo on it. We've reduced the size of the artwork to a resolution that's easier viewable, which you'll see when you click the thumbnail below.

Written on Thursday 5 January 2006 at 22:07 by ChEeTaH - 21 comments.

Expansion pack 3 for the Sims 2, Open for Business, was announced yesterday.

You can now send us your questions about the expansion pack by posting a comment to this post, or by sending an e-mail. We can't guarantee that all questions will be answered, but we'll do our best. You have until 11 January to submit your questions to us, so start asking!

423. Open for Business Screenshots and Movie

Written on Wednesday 4 January 2006 at 21:47 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The official announcement earlier today marked the start of the usual flood of screenshots, movies and information about the new Sims 2 expansion pack, Open for Business. A few have been released before, but now Maxis has also released four screenshots and a video on the official site. The trailer shows the key features of everything that's possible, including many of the new objects. Between them is also a robot that looks like a remake of Servo, the robot-maid that was introduced in Livin' Large for the Sims 1 - we'll most likely find out more about that soon enough. In the background is a new remix of the Sims 2 tune, but naturally it's a matter of waiting to find out if that will be in the game too. There's a lot more to see in the movies, especially when it comes to all the objects. Watch it to see for yourself. Also check out the screenshots by clicking the thumbnails below.

427. Mascot with Open for Business Pre-order

Written on Monday 19 December 2005 at 01:46 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

Open for Business is arriving in the first quarter of next year, and shops have already started taking pre-orders. Our shop is one of them, but EBGames is doing the same. As a gift, they now have a promotion up that if you pre-order the game there, you can get an exclusive Sims mascot and a life-size sculpture to promote that your shop is the best in the hood. It seems the offer is only available in the US. It's not sure whether Amazon or other online shops will have the same offer.

Written on Saturday 17 December 2005 at 03:08 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

One of the last, if not the last, T-Mails of the year has arrived. Tim LeTourneau, Senior Producer for the Sims 2 expansion packs, has given an update on the upcoming expansion pack Open for Business. He says that the team just hit a major milestone (he doesn't say which one exactly), and that there's now a lot of tuning, polishing and gameplaying going on. Included are two screenshots and a 37 second movie. Besides that Hunter Howe, designer on the team of the expansion pack, gives some insight in what goes on behind the scenes and how things work, using several constants. He also mentions business perks, which are rewards for the business owner when the place is running well. All those bits can be found in the Read More part of the newspost you're reading now. For the screenshots, click the thumbnails below, or follow the links to the movie if you wish to see that (QuickTime required).
