1351. McDonald's Object online

Written on Thursday 18 March 2004 at 23:49 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Remember the McDonald's Preview CD of The Sims 2 that was given away quite some time ago? After posting some content already on 10 February, the popular website Snooty's Sims has posted a Sims 1 object from the same CD. You can find it on this page.

1352. TSO comes to Japan

Written on Thursday 18 March 2004 at 21:08 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

In the March issue of the TSO newsletter, Maxis has said that The Sims Online will be released in Japan next Saturday. Together with that announcement, they've also launched a Japanese website for TSO. This is slightly odd, as the game still has not been officially released in Europe yet. The game is considered a failure by many people, yet EA tries to gain more players this way. Japanese players will live in the same cities as all existing players. It's now possible to type in Japanese character in TSO. On another note, there's a new interview with a TSO developer (Walter Ianneo) at this page. If you want to try out the game, remember to download the free 14 day trial from FilePlanet.

1353. Sims 2 Screenshots [Update]

Written on Thursday 18 March 2004 at 20:07 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

Maxis has published 3 new screenshots, which will probably be included in the next e-mail of the newsletter. They show you what you can do with CaSIE, and how the "Sims 2 Body Shop" can be used to "add your own designs to Sim parts." Since it's been quite long ago that Maxis really talked about CaSIE, perhaps we can expect a release of it in a couple of weeks. Of course that's unconfirmed and it could also still take months for all we know. If you like to see some serious face paint on some Sims, make sure to check out this page. Click the first three thumbnails to see the new screenshots. Thanks to Sterics at SimsExpress for the tip.

[Update 22:45] Maxis seems to have taken the images offline already. We've taken the opportunity to post them after all, like several other sites have already done. Click the thumbnails below to see them completely.

1354. SimDay: Not much

Written on Thursday 18 March 2004 at 13:32 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's SimDay again, but not a very big one. Maxis is preparing for their move which will happen next week. However, there are a few things to mention. First of all the two graphics which we showed you last weekend. See that news item for those graphics. Next is the Bustin' Out CD. If you've followed it well, you already have one cd with all the art. The art for the second CD has also been posted, and you can now download that with or without the music of that CD. Click here to get it. If you don't have the first CD yet, you can download it from the same page. Altogether it's about 120 Mb. Finally, there's the Spring Garden Show, which was announced last week. If you want to see those beautiful Spring gardens, click here. That's all already for this week, and next week there won't be a SimDay due to the move. Maxis will be back on April Fool's day, so prepare for some kind of prank from them in 2 weeks.

Click here for the first page of the preview, then click the "Page 2 de 3" link at the bottom for more, and then "Page 3 de 3" for even more screenshots.

1356. New Poll

Written on Thursday 18 March 2004 at 01:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Last week we asked you about your favourite reality TV show. Out of 317 votes, 88 people (28%) said they don't watch any of the shows listed. The most popular show among Sims fans all over the world is Big Brother, with 51 votes (16%). Survivor came second (49 votes, 14%), and then The Osbournes or similar shows (34 votes, 11%). Back To Reality is the least popular with only 1 vote, which is far less than 1%. For all results, click here. This week we stick to TVs. Instead of asking about you, we would like to know your Sims' favourite TV channel. Let us know which one's watched the most in your game, by voting on the right or at this page.

1357. Sims 2 News

Written on Wednesday 17 March 2004 at 00:18 by ChEeTaH - 8 comments.

Luc's weekly e-mail has arrived again, and he's told us Maxis is "hard at work driving the bugs from The Sims 2, all so that we can bring you the best, most fun, and completely addictive simulation game on the planet in exchange for a wee nip from your pot o' gold.". Complete in St. Patrick's Day style (all green), he also told us a bit about the recent artwork and screenshot:

"To commemorate St. Patrick's Day, we have two brand new images for your enjoyment - the first [the artwork - ChEeTaH] features a cast of characters engaged in at least a couple of favorite pastimes common to pubs the world over, and the next features [that's the screenshot - ChEeTaH] a family called the Shenanigans enjoying a warm St. Patty's Day celebration in their back yard, bedecked in green apparel (except for one poor soul who looks like he's about to get a good pinch as a result of his unfortunate wardrobe choices)."

If you haven't seen them yet or just want to gaze at these images again, click here.

1358. Bustin' Out N-Gage Preview & Movies

Written on Saturday 13 March 2004 at 21:52 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Bustin' Out is coming out for the N-Gage in the second quarter of this year. As usual, gaming sites post previews, screenshots, and media. First of all there's a preview at GameSpy:

"Ruling over your sim and handcrafting the world around him or her is quite the experience. There are countless variables and options, so no two players will have the same experience. The Sims: Bustin' Out has already proven that the series can work its mojo on a handheld platform, as the GBA version was extremely well received when it released late last year."

They conclude with that this game may be the most important title for the N-Gage of 2004. As we reported before, EA thinks slightly different of it. Another gaming site, GameSpot, has posted some screenshots and 3 movies. Visit GameSpot's GameSpace page of the game for all their content. Finally, keep checking the N-Gage site for more information. We'll keep you posted. Thanks to SimsExtremos for the tip of the GameSpot movies.

1360. Sims 2 Artwork and Screenshot

Written on Saturday 13 March 2004 at 02:35 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

Maxis has published a new artwork and a screenshot today. The artwork wishes everybody a happy St. Patrick's Day, while the other screenshot shows how much fun Sims can have in a spring garden, complete with pool. And if you pay attention to details, you'll notice the progress bar above the head of the kid in the pool. This probably means that children have skills too, with (probably, as in The Sims 1) the body skill being trained by swimming. Maxis has not yet talked about that though. You can view the images in their full size by clicking the thumbnails below.
