881. Spoiler Info from Sims 2 Strategy guide [Update]
Written on Wednesday 8 September 2004 at 21:06 by ChEeTaH - 4 comments.
Some people already received the Sims 2 strategy guide from Prima. It has some useful information in it, but be warned: this info goes quite in-depth and may spoil the fun for you exploring the game yourself. The info includes some cheats (including money and camera cheats), some details about the career tracks and how to do basements. If you haven't already ordered it yet, you can order the strategy guide from our shop. Read on at your own risk for the details...

883. Sims 2 News
Written on Wednesday 8 September 2004 at 00:43 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
Besides the news earlier today (review update, FAQ and first cheat, a Video and Website screenshots and Release date confusion), there's some more news. First of all, The Sims 2 is one of the games in the "Games for Windows" list. Microsoft has launched the Game Advisor which will check your system to make sure you meet the minimum system requirements. Internet Explorer 6 required. Thanks to SP Zone for the find.

Furthermore, the Spanish fansite Sims Express has posted a few scans from magazines recently. The first 3 are from the same magazine (Micromanía), the last is a separate one, from "Zone 01". Although the text is in Spanish, those who aren't fluent in that can still watch the pictures, even though the quality isn't great. Click the thumbnails below to see larger versions of the scans, or visit Sims Express for the full size ones (the ones posted here have been scaled down to save bandwidth).

885. Sims 2 Video, Website Screenshots
Written on Tuesday 7 September 2004 at 21:06 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.
The official Norwegian Sims 2 site has revealed a few pictures of the upcoming Sims 2 website. It's unsure whether they're from the European sites, mostly in a similar style, or the American one - or both. It does show some resemblance with the exchange mockup Lucy Bradshaw sent a few weeks ago. As part of the new graphics is also in Norwegian, it's likely to be used at least for European sites. Click the thumbnails below to see the full size screenshots.

Also, a new Japanese trailer has been posted by the official Japanese site. It's from EA, and two Japanese guys and a girl show you the game. Of course in-game material is also shown. It weighs 36 Mb for the High Quality version, or 20 Mb for the Low Quality one. With thanks to SimsZone for these links.
 

886. Not Completely New Screenshots
Written on Monday 6 September 2004 at 00:54 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
A few new screenshots of the Sims 2 have been posted by a new Dutch games site, Games.Fok.nl. The set of 3 may look familiar, as they've been released with the latest scoop newsletter and WorthPlaying (see this news), but in a slightly different angle or a later stage in the game. Click the thumbnails below to see the "new" screenshots in their full glory.

887. Sims 2: Mysterious New Guide
Written on Sunday 5 September 2004 at 21:37 by ChEeTaH - 5 comments.
The game isn't out yet, and even the strategy guide still isn't shipping, but, a new item from Prima Games has appeared in several online shops, including Amazon US and Amazon UK. It's called "The Sims 2: Episode 2 Strategy Guide" and will be released in February of the next year. It's still unsure whether this is for the Sims 2's first expansion pack (which will be released early 2005 as well, according to Neil Young in a previous chat), or whether this is a second release of the initial strategy guide, which will be released along with the Sims 2. All that's known about the guide so far is the title, and that it'll be 240 pages (at least that's what Amazon's product description says). A picture whatsoever also has not been published. Of course we'll keep you updated, but if you know you'll want to get it, you can already pre-order the book from our shop.
 

888. Sims 2 News
Written on Sunday 5 September 2004 at 01:02 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
There's a bit of Sims 2 news again today, as almost every day since the game went gold. In today's issue: a hands-on preview, videos, a bit about the website, and an interview with Will Wright. The preview is from IGN. After their feature series of SimIGN, they now have a full 3-page preview. It's mostly about the personality - especially the difference in it - of the Sims in the sequel. Aging and DNA are also told about, and of course some screenshots are included. There's also a video, made with the in-game tools to record, and edited with the Windows Movie Maker. Download the "SimIGN in Action" video from the Videos page, or just read the hands-on preview for more.

More news inside!

889. Lucy's Mail: Taggin' and Urbz
Written on Saturday 4 September 2004 at 11:33 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
This week's mail from Lucy is co-written by Scot Amos, producer of the upcoming console game the Urbz. He tells a bit about the Urbz, and gives us 3 exclusive screenshots of the game. There are also 4 pictures of The Sims 2 producers tagging the "First Up Against the Wall" wall, which has notes of all tasks that had to be done for the Sims 2, as well as the red "Done" stamped on it. You can see Lucy, and others, tagging by clicking the thumbnails in the e-mail itself. You can find that either right below this, or behind the Read More link.

890. SimDay - Set of Objects
Written on Thursday 2 September 2004 at 23:03 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.
Although at first there was nothing but a link to GameSpot's Designer diary and news about the chat, the official site has now been expanded with a few more downloads. A few second hand furniture objects, weighing 787 Kb in total, will fill your Sims' dorms. A bookshelf, a comfy chair, desk lamp, pennant, a beverage sculpture and a boom-box should make the life of students a lot nicer. You need Double Deluxe or up (it's unsure whether it's compatible if you just have expansion packs from House Party and later), and you can download the files from Get Cool Stuff.
