Although it was already officially confirmed, the release date for The Sims 2 in Europe has changed. Instead of a delay, it's coming sooner. The Official UK site has posted 17 September as release date for the UK, while EA Netherlands has posted thursday 16 September (the usual release day in the Netherlands is a thursday) as release date. This probably means the game will be released almost simultaneously worldwide. If the game will be released on a tuesday (14 September) in the US, as usual, is not yet confirmed. We'll of course keep you updated.
