681. A White Dorm Door

Written on Sunday 13 March 2005 at 00:48 by Sumit - 0 comments.

This was requested. So here. :)

If you want a quick request done, I suggest requesting recolors/retextures. I am working on "new" objects, but for now recolors stand till the time comes.

682. Spore Info

Written on Friday 11 March 2005 at 23:23 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The Game Developers Conference ended with a bang from Will Wright, creator of the Sims and SimCity. There's has been a lot of rumour about his new project, Spore (or SPORE), lately. It's a sim game that allows players to control life in every possible way - "from the Cellular level to the Galactic level." At first you start as a cellular life form, after which you grow to be a more advanced creature. After upgrading the creature's hut, you'll be playing a mini-SimCity, a simplified version of that famous game, in which you manage technology and interact with other cities in the world. Eventually you can even buy a UFO and explore the universe, travel between planets and even star systems. Those can be populated, conquered and observed.

The game will be based on custom content a lot, as the creatures and everything that develops will be based on algorithmic procedures, resulting in a lot of variation. So far real details of the new game aren't available, but it might be that this is the game that will be shown at the E3 this year. Of course we'll keep you updated with any information as we receive it. For now, check out this GameSpot article for more information. Thanks to TheSidDog for the link.

Written on Friday 11 March 2005 at 12:40 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Today it's official: The Sims 2 University has been released in Europe as well. Well over a week after the US release, the game should now be available in stores across Europe. Besides that game, EA has also released the Urbz on the in Europe recently launched Nintendo DS (Dual-Screen) platform. The game, similar to the GameBoy Advance version of the Urbz, uses features such as the touch screen, and it has unique features like pets and special locations and mini-games.

Both games are available in our shop.

684. TSZ Goes Poland - Part 2

Written on Friday 11 March 2005 at 12:28 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Similar to just before the Sims 2 release (see this news), the Polish gaming magazine Komputer ŚWIAT GRY has published a Sims 2 special magazine. The Extra comes with a lot of information about the Sims 2 University. Included is a cover disc, which has downloads from EA and various fansites on it. The Sims Zone is one of them. They've published some of our Sims 2 downloads and made them available on the CD. If you're in Poland and want some of our files on a nice CD, buying this extra might be worth it.

685. New Life in TSO? [Update]

Written on Friday 11 March 2005 at 12:18 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

EA is launching a new marketing campaign to draw players who left the Sims Online once back to the game, or to invite new players to it. People who opted in for receiving e-mails and past subscribers can expect an e-mail from Maxis soon, in which they are invited to download the 14-day free trial. The e-mails are not sent all at once, so some might receive it before others. All e-mails should be sent in about two weeks though.

TSO has undergone some changes lately, and with Free Will now being available in a real city, players of old might be tempted to play the game again. Maxis is also bringing in a special "War Game" object that will be for sale in the game for a very short time. The repo man won't touch it and it's fire proof. Once the e-mail marketing campaign is over this objects will become available temporarily, and it will be announced on the Stratics TSO site. For more information see the Newspost at TSO Mania.

[Update 22:45] It seems the campaign has started. I've received an email, which you can find below, in the Read More part. Read More!

687. New Poll

Written on Thursday 10 March 2005 at 01:22 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

This week we have added yet another poll. It is now about the goals you set for your Sims - what do you hunt for when playing the game? Is there a specific feature you go for, e.g. great aspiration scores or careers, or do you just let the Sims develop your stories? Give us your say on the right or the latest poll page.

In our previous poll, we asked if you think Nightlife, what is most likely going to be the second expansion pack for the Sims 2, will be any good. 269 People voted, of which the biggest group, almost 43%, said it does sound nice, but they're not too sure yet. Those who say it'll rock no matter what it's all about are second with 36%. Tied on third are those who think it doesn't sound too great, and those who haven't heard about it, each with 10%. The final two votes, less than 1%, said they won't like it no matter what. For a better overview of the results, head over to the poll's result page.

689. New Extra - the "testingCheatsEnabled" Cheat

Written on Tuesday 8 March 2005 at 01:03 by Neil - 0 comments.

Fans of the "move_objects on" cheat will love this. There is another cheat in the Sims 2 game which makes move_objects look useless by comparision. It's the "testingCheatsEnabled" cheat, which unlocks dozens of new menus, many new choices and allows one to manipulate the actual sims like never before. So I wrote an extra about it.

With this cheat you can kill anybody in any way you like (kids can die from old age for example), you can give a sim a bladder problem by fiddling with the appropriate need to keep it down, or give everybody a boost with one mouse-click. Alternatively have papers delivered in the evening, or summon a burglar on demand.

690. BetaVille Full City

Written on Tuesday 8 March 2005 at 00:23 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

In The Sims Online a new test city called BetaVille opened about two months ago. In that city, Free Will is enabled, and Sims can play the game in a style that's closer to the original Sims game. If the city proves to be popular, the Free Will feature will be developed further and might head to the other cities as well. If it's not, Betaville will remain open, but it won't be worked on anymore and focus will stay on the traditional TSO gameplay. The city will not be wiped or closed before it becomes a real city, but through a version update other features of the normal game will be added to Betaville. See the newspost at Stratics for more info.
