711. SIMposium - New Graphics

Written on Thursday 24 February 2005 at 17:45 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

On the SIMposium the visitors were given a CD with a renewed fansite kit. This kit contains a lot of screenshots and artworks, as well as old movies. While there are a lot of old materials on there, some items are new. And some even seem old, but are actually an old scene, taken from a (slightly) different angle than previous screenshots. The artworks may also look familiar if you've visited the official site recently. One was posted on a wallpaper, and another one is now set as intro on the site. The artwork however shows the actual streaker instead of a Sim wearing a toga. The last one is quite the same as one of the first artworks, but it has one Sim less on it. Besides that, Maxis has also released three buddy icons in the University theme. Of course we cannot keep these graphics from you, so click the thumbnails below to see the screenshots and artworks (note: these might be too big to fit on your screen!). To use the buddy icons, simply right-click them, and save the images to your hard disk - they are posted here in their original sizes.

Prima has made the official strategy guides for the Sims 1 series and for the Sims 2, as well as other EA games. Of course the Sims 2 University Expansion pack is no exception, and Prima has put together a comprehensive strategy guide for that as well. The book has 464 pages in colour, explaining how to:

"Crash parties, get initiated into a secret society, hack your grades, and graduate with honors" "Keep your Sims' grades on track in all 11 majors" "Secure your final degree and open up 4 new career paths" "Details on the all-new young adult age, Influence, and lifetime wants" "Charts and tables covering objects and socials" "Tours of all colleges and their student bodies"

Besides that, the original strategy guide for the Sims 2 has been included as well. These details have been posted on the info page at Prima's site. There is a special UK version available soon, but the only difference is the cover and the ISBN-number.

Of course you can pre-order the book from our shop, through which you'll also support The Sims Zone.

715. A Rug Object!

Written on Tuesday 22 February 2005 at 01:29 by Sumit - 0 comments.

This is my first rug. I have been trying it out so it might not be perfect. Objects do sink in a bit when placed on top of it. Thanks to Echo for creating the base carpets.

Watch out for some new carpets soon! Soon, as in "in a while" since carpets are sortta funky with a bit of sinking in. So something else will come up next. If all goes well heres a hint: Gogh, Mattise, Rici, Durer

UPDATE: After many tries, I will leave this rug as a recolor and include Echo's original rug. Later on this will be an individual rug. You will need both rugs, when in The Sims, you will find this rug under Echo's rug.

Written on Sunday 20 February 2005 at 10:04 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

Those of you who remember the Sims 2 University event held in November 2003 might be excited to know that Maxis has held another event like that this weekend. The Sims VIP SIMposium (sponsored by nVidia) at EA Redwood Shores (Redwood City, California, near San Francisco) was a big source for new information about the first expansion pack for the Sims 2, but it was also a great opportunity for key community members - that includes fansite webmasters and modders - to give input to Maxis, and tell them what you, the fans, want in the game in future expansion packs. We even got an exclusive interview with Will Wright, that will be posted on this site in the near future. Check this site in a few days for the start of a series of articles with information regarding the Sims 2 and University, as well as a lot of other interesing things.

717. The Grey Phone

Written on Saturday 19 February 2005 at 17:12 by Sumit - 1 comment.

Maxis is sadly very peculiar when it comes to creativity for such an essential item as the phone. But worry no more, this phone comes in grey or should I say gray. :)

The best thing about it, is that it adds a color option to your phone. PLUS you can change the handset seperately.

719. Designer Diary #3 - University gone Gold

Written on Saturday 19 February 2005 at 06:34 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

GameSpot has posted a third edition of the Sims 2 University designer diary. In it, Designer Hunter Howe talks about the final process of making the expansion. He says there are some imperfections in the game, and not all features initially planned worked out too well. Also the birth of the sprinklers is mentioned: in dorms fire would start in the kitchen, causing "absolute death." Tuning is also a major part of the developing process, making sure that everything's working well and is fun to play. Finally it's bug-hunting that's going on. A lot of bugs are made during the creation of the pack, and eliminating them all is important to get the game right in the end.

The big news though is that the pack seems to have gone gold, even though that hasn't been officially announced yet. For more details, check out the complete designer diary. The three screenshots below were included in the diary as well.
