91. Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff Announced

Written on Friday 25 January 2008 at 20:33 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

FreeTime isn't out yet, and EA has already announced their seventh stuff pack. Although there is no press release yet, it is also no secret that Kitchen & Bath Interior Design Stuff will be the next stuff pack, to be released in April. The pack is focussed on objects for - as you may have guessed - kitchens and bathrooms. Below you can find the (European) packshot, as well as some artworks of items from the pack, crafted by our colleagues from SimsNetwork.

92. FreeTime - Media so Far

Written on Friday 25 January 2008 at 20:10 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Most of you will by now have heard about FreeTime, the seventh expansion pack for the Sims 2. Although we have been a little bit behind on all the news about it, it's time to play catch-up for a bit. Thus we have collected all available screenshots and other things for you to find below (in the "Read more" area).

Other than all those screenshots and artworks, there are two videos: a trailer and a music video of Natasha Bedingfield's "A Pocketful of Sunshine." That track is included in the expansion, of course all in Simlish. Furthermore there are hobby magazines for all of the hobbies, of which at the time of writing 6 have been revealed. The first of seven comic strips has also been published at the official site. Finally, the official UK site has a fansite kit with some material (also shown below) as well. A Prima Guide will be released at the same time as the game.

FreeTime is expected to be released in the week of February 25th (26th in the US, 29th in the UK). Read More!

93. FreeTime Producer Tour

Written on Friday 11 January 2008 at 03:56 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's been some time since there have been producer tours for Sims 2 expansion packs. EA has reintroduced these tours though, and lead producer Bim Majekodunmi will be taking a trip through Europe showing FreeTime. Next Monday, the 14th, she will be at the UK EA office, holding her presentation at around 10:00-10:30am, after which follows a day of playing the upcoming expansion. Anyone who can make it to Chertsey (South west of London) in time can join, though places are limited (and possibly already full). See the UK site's forum thread for more details.

Those who can't attend may still post questions before Monday in another thread. EA will then try to make sure Bim answers the questions.

Although it is highly unlikely that anybody our team will attend (mostly due to the distance), we will attend an event on the 22nd of January in Amsterdam. We will then get the chance to meet Bim and check out the game for some time. Of course, if you do have any questions about FreeTime, let us know by e-mailing me. We will then try to get your question answered in a preview that will be published after the event.

100. SecuROM Follow-Up - Official Statement

Written on Tuesday 16 October 2007 at 23:23 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

Following up on all the SecuROM discussions that have started since the release of Bon Voyage, EA has issued a few statements about it. One is from MaxoidDrea in which it is more or less denied that the problem is a significant one. Another thread started by MaxoidSam has thus far received a lot of response from fans with problems, ranging from disabled drives to other games, like SimCity 4, not starting up anymore. Also, EA claims SecuROM is an integral part of the game, and is therefore not in the EULA, despite the software installing its own third-party service if the game is run as non-administrator. Instructions on how to properly remove (and prevent reinstallation of) SecuROM are in a thread at MoreAwesomeThanYou (MATY). A common theme in the responses is that EA (together with Sony, creator of SecuROM) has lost all trust from several fans, as the legitimate customers are having trouble with the copy protection and are requested to send encrypted files to EA/Sony without knowing its exact contents. Despite all of that, the game was cracked within a day after the release.
