2061. European release of SV

Written on Sunday 31 March 2002 at 23:11 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Officially it's not out yet in Europe, but some shops are already selling the new expansion pack, at least in Germany and Holland. Because it's easter, maybe the shops won't be open tomorrow. If you can't wait, then pay a visit to your local computer store as soon as you can. We wish everybody lots of fun with Vacation, whether they already got it, will get it tomorrow, tuesday or at the official european release date at 5 april.

2063. TNHH 3.7 Coming very soon!

Written on Sunday 31 March 2002 at 04:05 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

I've been working a lot on The Neighborhood Handler 3.7 lately. It is now nearly ready to be released to the TNHH group. There are only a few final tests to be done, but everything seems to be working well. Some of the upgrades are compatibility with Vacation, a more enhanced "Repair a Neighborhood" function, and the "Refresh a Back-up" option has been fixed so it now also works well if no expansion packs are installed. Also the manual has had quite a few changes: it now looks alright in Netscape 6.x/Opera 6 too. It has also been checked for typos etc. Besides that, also a few tutorials and a glossary chapter have been added. For more information - plus how to join the group so you can get it very soon - go to the TNHH site.

2064. Official Site news (SimDay Download, UK Patch)

Written on Saturday 30 March 2002 at 23:05 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Two pieces of news from the official site: First of all, last SimDay's new object, Pluto's Arch, has been removed from the site. The reason was that it had some texts wrong. Rumours are also that it was causing conflicts with other objects in SV (Vacation). It will be fixed and put back online as soon as possible.

Also, in the BBS, a Maxis employee has posted some news about the UK version of the Hot Date patch. This patch is now in its final testing stages, and should be available soon. They apologize for the delay. More news can't be given until at least next tuesday though. We hope they test the patch well this time, and that with "UK" they actually mean Europe and the rest of the world except North-America...

2065. The Sims 2 Info at CNN

Written on Saturday 30 March 2002 at 00:41 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

In an article at CNN Money there's some information about The Sims Online and The Sims 2. According to the article, the last of the two will be announced later this year. I think that it won't be released before 2003 though, so it'll be a wait. The Sims 2 will be more story-based than the game we're all continuously playing now (The Sims). For instance, there will be cuts and fadings when, for instance, a Sim gets turned down by the Sim he/she loves. If it'll result in wet keyboards because of tears won't be known until the release of it. The release date for The Sims 2 is unknown, The Sims Online is planned later this year. SimGolf in Europe has been delayed again, to late April this time. Also SimCity 4000 is expected to be finished in 2003, although that is unconfirmed too.

The whole article can be read here.

2066. We made the 100,000!

Written on Friday 29 March 2002 at 14:31 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

We just had our 100,000th visitor since 2 February 2002! In fact we've had even more, since we started November 2001 at this place. We counted about 30,000 visitors between 14 January and 1 February, but because of some counter problems, those haven't been counted. All visitors in the first 2 months have never been counted at all. Thank you all for visiting us all the time, we wouldn't have made the 100,000 without you!

Written on Thursday 28 March 2002 at 20:07 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Following from last week's poll, we'll continue to abbreviate the new expansion pack to SV - Sims Vacation. 47 of 110 voters voted for that option. Runner-up was just 'V' with 19 votes, third place was for just Vacation with 15 votes. The big loser was 'OH' (On Holiday) with only 5 votes. All the results can be found here.

2070. Vacation: First Impressions

Written on Tuesday 26 March 2002 at 22:02 by ChEeTaH - 5 comments.

Thanks to SimsZone (German site), we can already see some first impressions from happy owners of Vacation. According to them the first impressions are "overall positive". Unfortunately, this expansion pack isn't clean of technical issues though, both during installation and gameplay. To find some screenshots, go here, here, or here. If you already own Vacation, and want to have your say about it, post a comment here.
