501. Nightlife Guide Details

Written on Sunday 28 August 2005 at 20:48 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

As Prima has done for the entire Sims series, they've also made a strategy guide for Nightlife. On their website there is now some information about the contents of the guide. Similar to the University guide, the guide will contain the essentials for the Sims 2 as well. Other than that, there's a complete catalog of 125 objects and items, details about the new Pleasure and Grilled Cheese aspirations, tips for dates, outings, attraction and "supercharging romantic pursuits". Besides that, expect instructions on how to build your own downtown, and a directory of the downtown area that Maxis ships with the game. See the info page for more details.

If you want to pre-order this guide, or order any of the previous Prima guides for Sims games, visit our shop. You'll help us paying our bills as well, without any extra costs for you.

503. More Nightlife Screens

Written on Friday 26 August 2005 at 21:47 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Nightlife has been completed, and that means screenshots made now can show the game in its full glory. Several new screenshots have appeared. One is from the official site, the three others were posted by the Spanish Capital Sims, and originally came from the official Spanish site. Those four can be found below. For more, you can visit the website of the German GameStar magazine. They've posted 42 new screenshots (of the German version) in their screenshots gallery.

505. T-Mail #6

Written on Wednesday 24 August 2005 at 13:53 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Tim has sent another e-mail to the community. This time he gives two screens of Nightlife, showing the day/night button in the neighborhood view. The team has put the finishing touches on the expansion pack, which quite possibly means that it's gone gold. Other than that he tells a bit about the fansite event at Maxis just over a week ago, where several website representatives, including me, visited to check out the Sims 2 on consoles and handhelds. Scot Amos and Virigina McArthur, producers for respectively the Consoles and Handhelds/Mobile versions of the Sims 2, are also introduced. They will probably send out e-mails like Tim in the near future. Read the entire mail in the Read More part, as usual, and see the screenshots by clicking the thumbnails below.

Written on Monday 22 August 2005 at 23:50 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

As we mentioned before, we've visited Maxis and the Games Convention earlier this month. On both occasions the Sims 2 on consoles and handhelds was shown. A new special has been opened up, with an exclusive preview of the Sims 2 on Consoles. Included are also many pictures taken at the Games Convention, showing the game in its current (developing) state. In two pages many aspects of the game are covered, from the loading to creating and controlling a sim. Find out about the game in our new special.

507. Sims 2: Bugs, Features, Solutions...

Written on Sunday 21 August 2005 at 01:11 by Neil - 3 comments.

Another revision to this Extra of mine, with some brand new oddities for you to scratch your head over.

We have five new bugs, including a nasty University bug that, well, defeats the whole point of the EP really, the "your friend has been dead for ages why haven't you called him?" bug and a curious one involving the maid's van.

17 new "features" of Sims 2 are also listed - including Zombie capabilities (what you can and can't do with them), what cowplants do when they're hungry, broken universities with custom neighbourhoods and another one which can be only be described as "WooHooing yourself" and remain clean enough to sit on this front page.

508. Strangerhood Studios Episodes

Written on Saturday 20 August 2005 at 14:42 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

We already mentioned Strangerhood Studios a while ago, the spin-off series of the Strangerhood made for the Independent Film Channel. Three episodes could be seen before, but now you can also download episode four from the videos archive. There you can also still find the previous three episodes of the Strangerhood Studios series. Two more videos have been made and might be put online later.

509. New Extra - How Good's My Computer?

Written on Friday 19 August 2005 at 01:27 by Neil - 0 comments.

Derived from a post in the Knowledge Base today about slow computers and Sims 2 comes a small article about how to work out whether your computer can play Sims 2 comfortably or not.

It helps nobody when a user posts on the KB saying they have a slow computer but don't give any details about it. So now one can find out everything and a little bit more about their computers.

The extra includes fascinating (if you're into this sort of stuff) details on what I'm running Sims 2 on. But you don't need to know anything about a computer to use this tool. Except switch it on. And get online. Though if you're reading this I reckon you've got those two elements sorted. :)

510. Nightlife Preview and Lots of Screens

Written on Wednesday 17 August 2005 at 03:06 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The second expansion pack for the Sims 2, Nightlife, is nearing completion and with less than a month to go to its release, GameSpot has had some exclusive hands-on time with the game. In their preview written about it, some new details are given. For example, the pre-made downtown area will feature 31 locations to go to, including clubs, restaurants, spas, parks, an art museum, a grocery, bars, shops, and more. The Gypsy Matchmaker which can also be found downtown will set up a date for you for §5,000. That is more expensive than some cars, which come from §950 to §11,500. Added is also the "Ask" interaction, which besides asking about wants and fears also lets you know about the other Sim's job and how much money they make. Besides all that there are dozens of new options in Create-A-Sim. The preview also mentions the new lights, which are basically the only graphical improvements to the game. They do seem to slow down the framerate of the game a bit if a lot is going on, so tweaking the graphical details settings might be needed to keep your game running smoothly. Other than that, the expansion pack will probably be received better as it has a bigger impact on the original game than University did, says Gamespot. Along with the preview, 22 screenshots were posted. 20 Other screenshots come from the official Japanese site. These small shots were found by SnootySims. One of them shows what could be a food fight, so there might be throwing more than just drinks in the expansion pack. Click all the thumbnails in the read more bit (below or behind the link) for larger versions of all these screenshots. Thanks to joesemsims for the Gamespot link. Read More!
