291. Glamour Life Mini-game

Written on Wednesday 23 August 2006 at 02:33 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

To promote Glamour Life Stuff, EA has published a mini-game similar to that of Family Fun Stuff. With the game (which requires Flash 8) you can drag several items and Sims to a room, and so decorate your favourite glamour room. You can play the game as much as you like, straight from the web.

292. Glamour Bonus Items

Written on Wednesday 23 August 2006 at 02:01 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

In several countries throughout the world, EA is offering bonus items when you purchase Glamour Life Stuff at selected retailers. Although EA UK has not yet announced a similar promotion, in America there are three stores where you can get one of three items: Target will get you a Gold Record for your Sims, at Wal-Mart you'll get an exclusive painting and at Best Buy you can ask for a Television set. In all cases you'll need to pick your copy up in a local store - online purchases probably do not apply. For more information see the Glamour Order page on the official site. To get the pack delivered to your doormat, you can pre-order the stuff pack from our shop.

Written on Tuesday 15 August 2006 at 05:39 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It was only recently when Maxis made some new Glamour Life Wallpapers and two MySim Themes based on Family Fun Stuff and Pleasantview. Now there are two more wallpapers and two themes for MySims pages, all in the style of Glamour Life Stuff, the stuff pack that will be released at the end of this month. If you're logged into the official site you can click "Manage" next to your avatar to modify the theme of your MySim Page to either the Diamonds or Gold Glamour Life themes, or of course any older theme. The wallpapers can be found on the wallpapers page, and come in resolutions of 1024x768 and 800x600. Below you can see the thumbnails for both the desktop and MySim decorations.

294. Aly and AJ in The Sims 2 Pets

Written on Tuesday 15 August 2006 at 05:11 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Just like several bands did for Open for Business, the upcoming Sims game The Sims 2 Pets (expansion pack on PC) will feature real-life artists who recorded one of their songs in Simlish. Aly and AJ have performed "Chemicals React," which can be found on the Deluxe Edition of Into the Rush, in Simlish. The song will appear in the PC, PlayStation 2, GameCube and PSP versions of the game - the DS and GBA editions will not feature it. The Deluxe Edition of Into the Rush is now available in stores with an extra bonus dvd, which includes the full video of the song. Yahoo! Music will host the world premiere of the complete Simlish Aly & AJ video on August 22nd, but so far a trailer of it has been published on the official site. The press release announcing the collaboration between EA and Aly and AJ is found together with the trailer on a special Aly and AJ page.

295. E-Mail Problems Solved

Written on Wednesday 9 August 2006 at 17:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

If you recently tried becoming a member of The Sims Zone or our sister site the Spore Zone, you may not have received your registration e-mail, or you may have only just received it, after the normal 48 hours limit. You might also have tried sending us an e-mail through our contact form, but never got a reply. Due to some technical issues, the server hasn't sent out many e-mails, which means any e-mail sent between 3 August and today may not have been received by us, or hasn't been sent out properly. These problems have now fortunately been solved.

So if you sent us an email in the past couple of days, please try again. To try becoming a member again, head on over to the register page and fill in the details again. If it's been over 48 hours since you last tried, the username you picked should be free to use again, otherwise you might have to wait a little while.

We apologise for the inconvenience caused by these errors.

296. Bella Goth Interviewed

Written on Sunday 6 August 2006 at 19:30 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Recently Maxis asked on their official BBS about any questions people had to ask Bella Goth. Some of them have now been answered in an interview with her on the official site. She talks about her being in Strangetown, her lost memories, the night of the abduction, Don Lothario, the Calientes and her looks. She isn't able to clearly answer all the questions, as her memory - especially that of the abduction and everything shortly before that - isn't functioning all too well. Read the Bella Goth Interview to find out all the details.

298. The Sims Zone on a New Server

Written on Thursday 3 August 2006 at 23:59 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

As some of you might have noticed the past two days, there has been some downtime of this website. That's because the site has been transferred to a new, more powerful server in Germany. That's also the reason of the slight delay in our Pets previews for consoles and handhelds, but we promise they'll be online on this site soon. Meanwhile we are still having a few small technical issues with the new setup, which means the site might experience a little downtime. We're trying to keep this to a minimum, but nevertheless we apologise for any inconvenience caused by this. Come back after a couple of minutes if you can't access the site at any time.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

300. Pets Chat Transcript

Written on Sunday 30 July 2006 at 04:09 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Last Thursday Maxis held a chat about the Sims 2 Pets on PC. In that 30 minute chat several questions about the expansion pack were answered. For example that there will be about 35 dog and 15 cat breeds in the base game, and that there are five levels in each of the three careers for pets. You can also run a pet store if you have Open for Business, and to bathe your pets you'll need to use the regular bath tubs that are already in the game. Pets also have motives - as we already knew - but no aspirations. Also the family limits seem to have changed a little. Where it used to be a maximum of 10 sims and dogs or cats combined per household, that limit has now changed to 12. That can be a combination of up to 8 sims and up to 6 pets, though these limits might still change during the testing phase of development. The werewolve seems to be the new creature for this expansion. Another thing that pets can do, is sleep in one (double) bed with your sim. Besides the known pets there will also be a spraying skunk, and to prevent strays you can lock gates to stop animals coming through. There will be new music in the game as well, though Maxis didn't mention what it is. Naturally, when a pet dies, they'll get a tombstone as well. Their children will appear in a family tree as well. Dead pets can be resurrected, though they won't be able to return as zombie, even though they might appear as ghosts. To keep pets alive, there's the "Kibble of Life" which extends their life much like the Elixir does for Sims. Newborn dogs and cats come in litters with up to 4 puppies or kittens. There's more than that though, although most other questions were already answered earlier in for example our preview. Take a look at the full transcript for all the details.
