793. HomeCrafter 2 possibly next Week [Update]
Written on Tuesday 14 December 2004 at 20:20 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.
Dutch Sims fansite SP Zone has heard that a Sims 2 tool similar to HomeCrafter will be released on the official site next week. They don't know much except that the tool allows you to create floors and wallpapers. The site also says that this tool is one of a few that Maxis will release in the upcoming weeks. The news is from an anonymous source, and it's unclear whether it's from within EA or not. It also is not officially confirmed yet. Of course we'll keep you updated about this.

[Update 15 December 22:25] As you can read in the comments of this post, our affiliate Sim's Stash, has had a chance to interview Tim LeTourneau. There are questions about custom content tool, and Tim says some will follow "soon, very soon". To the question if a tool to create floors and walls will be released, a positive "definitely" is answered. There's still no official confirmation that a tool will be released next week though. See the full interview for more.
 

794. University Update: Chat Transcript, T-Mail 2, Screens
Written on Saturday 11 December 2004 at 02:32 by ChEeTaH - 5 comments.
There's quite a bit of new info about the first expansion pack for the Sims 2. The first thing is the transcript of last night's chat. The main new things that Maxis told us there are:
  • Young adults can Woohoo and get engaged, but they cannot get pregnant or married
  • Many University objects, but also wallpapers etc, can be used in the regular neighbourhood too
  • Even campus objects like Espresso bars, music lounges, and more, can be used in the regular community areas
  • The exact duration of the Young Adult stage is still unsure
  • Teens might have the aspiration to go to college
  • There will be cell phones, with which you can call but also send text messages (SMS)
  • The streaker is an NPC. Your Sims can become friends with them, and eventually even marry them if you want
  • Sims will have a schedule of classes to attend to
  • Teens can choose to become a young adult and go to college, or to skip that life stage and become adults straight away (like it's done currently)
  • There will be new types of food
There's a lot more than that though. Check the full transcript for the rest.

Furthermore, Sims Express reports that the expansion pack will be released (Wednesday) 16 March in Spain. That would probably mean 17 or 18 March for most of Europe, and 15 March for the USA. However, the dates for other regions in the world (other than Spain) are not yet officially announced or confirmed.

Finally, there's a second e-mail from Tim LeTourneau, Senior Producer of the Sims 2 University. He tells that Young Adulthood will occupy 20 Simdays (contrary to the "unknown" mentioned in the chat). This is different from what was reported at first, twice the life time of a teen. Tim talks a bit more about the young adulthood that your Sims might experience. Along with the mail came two screenshots, which you can see below. Use the Read More link (or scroll down a bit) to read the entire e-mail.

795. SimDay
Written on Thursday 9 December 2004 at 21:21 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.
Besides the chat tonight, which we told you about earlier this week, this week's SimDay has one interview. Pinstar1161 made up a challenge in the official BBS, called "The Legacy Challenge." This challenge asks of you to play the Sims 2 without cheats or cheat objects. Raise 10 generations of Sims, starting with a single Sim on an empty 5x5 lot, and make them as great as possible. The better you do, the more points you score. All for a bit of honour, there's nothing to win. Pinstar1161 has been interviewed about this famous challenge, which can now be read on the official site. If you want to check it out, check the interview page.

798. UrbzDay [Update]
Written on Thursday 2 December 2004 at 22:24 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.
Besides SimDay, there's also an Urbzday this week. It's not much though - just a new comic. This time Jayde visits Diamond Heights, trying to look right for the party. If you want to know if with the help of Darius it all works out, then check out the comic by Chynna Clugston.

[Update 5 December, 0:05] The site has had a few more updates. There's a note about the toys based on the game. The action figures based on the GBA version of the game are out. The Miniopolis pack contains 20 2-inch characters and pets, whereas the Console Edition has 10 4-inch articulated characters. See the Atomic Toys Urbz site for more details. There's also a little note about the Urbz object for the Sims 2.
 

799. SimDay - Strangerhood and Object
Written on Thursday 2 December 2004 at 22:19 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
After releasing the patch and the Urbz as Sims 2 earlier this week, the site has again been updated. This time, it is SimDay again, and it brings two more things. The first thing is a new episode of the Strangerhood. This third episode is titled "We Have a Floater." It can be downloaded from Strangerhood's archive page or the official site's Strangerhood page. As usual it comes in three formats (two on the official site): QuickTime, DivX and Windows Media.

Furthermore, there's a new object made by Maxis for the Sims 2. With this object, a "Chanukah Menorah," your Jewish sims can celebrate Chanukah with this object. You can download it from the exchange.
