The Sims 2 is being released on Mac next month, but last week the new version of OS X, nicknamed Tiger, was already launched. The result are three developer journals from Aspyr on Inside Mac Games. The first of these, "Put a Tiger in your tank," is mostly about the dashboard features of the new OS. The second blog is mostly just a link to a photo album of the Tiger Launch event. Both don't mention the Sims 2, though Karen Halloran does talk about it in the usual Friday entry of the blog: "The Life Cycle." As you can guess from the title, it's all about the aging life cycles and genetics of the Sims in the sequel. Karen tells how there are six life stages instead of two as in the Sims 1. Genetics will have to be passed on to the next generations as well. Included is the screenshot below. There's no new information compared to what we know from the PC version - the games will be very similar anyway - but for the interested read the brief journal for a little bit more info.
