741. The Llama Is Still Gone (New Poll)

Written on Thursday 3 February 2005 at 01:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Last week 210 people told us where the Llama had gone to, but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be helping much. Answers to last week's poll varied a lot, although "Off to see the wizard" was the most comon one, with 30% of the votes. "Gone to be sheared to make a woolly sweater" got 16.7%, which is a second place along with "College". Other options including the Zoo (11.4%), Strangetown (10%), Wisconsin (6.2%), Africa (4.8%) and AFK (4.3%) are less popular places for Llamas apparantly. This concludes last week's research about that, see the results page for an overview of the results.

This week we want to know what topics Sims send e-mails about to their friends. Let us know and vote on the right or on the latest poll page. The poll will run for one week as usual.

743. Will Wright Interview

Written on Wednesday 2 February 2005 at 14:18 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

As mentioned last week, the official UK site would be interviewing Will Wright. Users posted questions on the forums, and Will Wright has answered quite a few of them. He tells his aspiration is Knowledge, that he doesn't play the Sims games too much anymore, and how it happens to be that relatively many females work at Maxis, compared to other studios. His inspiration for games come from books, as he says. Even SPORE, mentioned here (on this site) first, is briefly mentioned, but no details are given:

"Where did they find that out? I am working on something, we don't know what the real name is going to be though."

"So that's the game you're working on with the smaller team?"

"Yeah, when Maxis moved I kept a separate group, we pulled out of Maxis and we moved two months ago from Walnut Creek to Emeryville, so we have our own little satellite studio now."

The last bit of that quote is news, as it seems that Maxis has now completely left its place of birth, Walnut Creek. In other answers Wright gives some information about the influence of fans in the development of the Sims and SimCity, and finally, Will explains why the company mascot are Llamas (also see our current poll). You can read the entire interview for more detailed answers from the man behind the Sims.

A big thanks go out to Jendea for these lovely houses. They are for The Sims 2.

First we have a nice little starter home, get it here. For the Sims with a slightly larger budget we also have this traditional style, midrange house.

If you have e-mailed me in the last month I have been having e-mail problems so I applogise for not answering them. You should receive a reply soon, as I am working my way through them.

If you want to submit files to TheSimsZone, then e-mail me, and in a zip file, send me what it is you are submitting, a preview picture of it (some sort of screenshot showing the house/object/wall/clothing), along with your name, a name for what you are submitting, and a short description of it.

749. T-Mail 4: New Fansite Kit

Written on Saturday 29 January 2005 at 18:40 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Tim LeTourneau, Senior producer of the Sims 2 University, has sent another e-mail to the Sims community. He doesn't have too much to say this time except that he's back from his Euro-trip, but there is a new fansite pack to be downloaded. It's about 40 Mb in size so it might take a while. It contains the US box arts (shown below as well), some known artworks - but this time with the logo over it, high-res logos (also familiar), 2 known videos (the cow plant video and the official trailer) and a bunch of screenshots. 2 Of those screenshots are new, and can be seen below as well. To download the fansite pack, click here, for the new images click the thumbnails below (they're pretty big!), and for Tim's complete mail read more.

750. More Details after Chat

Written on Saturday 29 January 2005 at 18:05 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Although last Thursday's chat brought in quite some new information about the Sims 2 University, there were a few people disappointed that their questions didn't get answered. MaxoidHunter has answered a few more questions in the official BBS. Here's what he said:

• "There are career reward objects around campus, you just need to know where to find them. :)
• "No locks on rooms other than dorm doors, but we know you guys want them.
• "You can only associate one of each college with each home neighborhood. There's no limit, though to the number of different neighborhoods you can associate a college with.
• "You can invite non-family members to visit you in college.
• "Some majors you might not know about: "Drama, Art, Biology, Literature, Mathematics...." There are more, though. ;)"

As History, Political Economy and (Plastic) Surgery were already known, we now know 8 of the 11 majors that will be included in the game. The names of the known ones might, due to translations, differ a bit though. See this thread for the new post by MaxoidHunter, with thanks to SimsZone for the link.
