695. TS2U Reviews and Installation Problems

Written on Saturday 5 March 2005 at 16:38 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Several new reviews of the first expansion pack of the Sims 2 have appeared the past few days. While we've already covered a few, there are three new ones we haven't told you about yet. In these reviews, the most criticizing notes are that going to college is really hard work - there are no vacations whatsoever - and that the game takes a long time to load. But all in all, the reviewers are positive about the product as an expansion pack, and think it's worth it. Click the links for the reviews.

• GamePro (4.0/5)
• Yahoo! GamesDomain (8.0/10)
• 1Up (85%)

Meanwhile there are several reports of the expansion not installing properly. This seems to happen only if the first patch is installed, but not the second one (which includes the first). Having no patch, or the second one installed seems to be alright, but otherwise you might have trouble installing the game. In that case, download the second patch from http://thesims2.ea.com/update/ and install it. That way you should be able to properly install the Sims 2 University. Thanks to SimsZone for the info.

696. Chat Transcript

Written on Saturday 5 March 2005 at 16:17 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

As announced earlier this week, Maxis held a chat about the Sims 2 University last Thursday. The expansion pack has shipped and so almost all information that was given during the chat is old. The new information is that Sims can move to another college in town, as they're put in the Student bin when you move them out. This bin is shared between the colleges, so you can move them in anywhere else and continue their education. There's also the cheat to increase the number of allowed floors:

setHighestAllowedLevel [X] where X is a number that sets the maximum number of floors you can have.

To get to know the rest - if you don't already - read the transcript for the info.

697. New Poll

Written on Thursday 3 March 2005 at 23:52 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

You may already have seen it, or you may not, but we've added a new poll again last night. This time we want to know from you what you think of Nightlife, the rumoured (but almost certainly true) second expansion pack for the Sims 2. You can give us your vote on the right, or on our latest poll page.

Last week we asked about handheld devices, like mobile phones, MP3 players and handheld gaming systems. These are all available in University, so your Sims can now make use of them. Well over 55% of you voted that your Sims will be using all of these three. The Mobile Phones are the most popular of the three, with 22% of all 208 votes. Second are MP3 players (12%) and finally the game devices (8%). The Sims without any of these will be just 2% of the population. See the exact results on the results page in our archive.

698. SIMposium - Movies

Written on Thursday 3 March 2005 at 23:18 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

I wasn't the only one who attended the SIMposium event. In fact, there were about 20 people visiting Maxis during the event. One of them was baconandeggzie (Eggzie) from Sim Movies. He's written an article about the new Sims 2 movie making features in the future, which has kindly been submitted to this site. In it he also says it's been hinted that new movie making tools for the Sims 2 might be released this month. You can now read the article in our SIMposium Special.

699. New University Cheats & Hacks Info

Written on Thursday 3 March 2005 at 00:41 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Now the Sims 2 University is out, many people are trying things out with the game. The first problems have also arrived, mainly having to do with installed hacks. It is said old versions of the hacks don't work properly anymore after installing the first expansion pack. Some hacks even cause major problems, and it's advised that you uninstall any of those prior to installing the first expansion pack. More information about the problems can be found in this thread at ModTheSims2, which also has a list of hacks that do and do not (yet) work with the expansion pack. Currently all our objects for the Sims 2 that you find on this site are expansion pack ready, and should not cause any problems in your game. If you want to be sure that you got a proper version, it might be wise to redownload and reinstall those objects.

Other news concerns some new cheats. We already gave one cheat to place objects diagonally earlier, but that one is not right (as may have been expected). The other two were known, but now some more details are given:

• changeLotZoning [residential | community | greek | dorm | secretsociety]: Changes the zoning type of the lot. Before rezoning a lot using this cheat, make sure there are no Sims currently living in the lot. To use this cheat, enter the lot that you would like to rezone, and then enter the cheat, choosing one of these zoning options.
• boolProp dormSpecificToolsDisabled [true|false]: Enables build/buy mode tools that would normally be disabled when in a dorm lot.
• boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation [true|false]: Allows users to rotate any object in 45 degree increments instead of the 90 degree increments used for most objects.

These cheats, as well as the descriptions, are placed in the Readme file of the Sims 2 University. Thanks to SP Zone and AlphaZedPrime in this thread at N99 for the info.

700. IGN University Review

Written on Tuesday 1 March 2005 at 18:57 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

After GameSpot and GameSpy, entertainment network IGN has now also posted its review of the Sims 2 University. SimJim appears in the screenshots posted in the review again, although he's mentioned in no more than just one paragraph. IGN's main downside about the game are graphical glitches and bugs, whereas the animations are excellent. With an 8.5 of 10, and an Editor's Choice award, they think it's a good expansion pack. Read the review to get their exact thoughts.
