Tonight Maxis will hold an official developer chat once again, this time about the next expansion pack for the Sims 2, most likely called Pets. There are several rumours saying the pack will be announced today, which means more news might - and probably will - arrive within the next couple of hours. The chat will be held at 3pm PST (11pm in Britain and Portugal, midnight in most of Europe) and will last 30 minutes. Producers of the expansion will answer questions, so if you want to know more be sure to get to the chat in time. Maxis has not yet announced who exactly will attend the chat, but all will be revealed on the chat page once the room goes open.

Maxis is still holding the announcement of Pets back to probably July 27th, but the EA Store has already put the game in their product listing. There are 5 versions of the game available for pre-order, namely PC, PS2, GameCube, DS, GBA. The prices are $29.95 for PC, DS and GBA, and $39.95 for PS2 and GameCube. Several brief decriptions are included with the listings. On PC, pets will include dogs, cats, birds and more, but Create-A-Pet only exists for dogs and cats. Training is available, and pets will also be able to get a job in Show Business, Security or Service. On the consoles there will be 22 dog and 15 cat breeds, as well as guinea pigs. At Town Park you can find other Sims with pets and buy items for pets. The console game also seems to be the classic freeplay - whether there's a storymode is not said. Finally, you can also share pets through a code to hand to your friends. On the DS version, you have to run a pet clinic, and by treating pets you unlock newi tems. On the GBA you have to take a career in Pet Care and go through different jobs. Read more for the precise descriptions. Read More!

315. Pets Announcement at July 27?

Written on Tuesday 18 July 2006 at 02:44 by ChEeTaH - 8 comments.

A couple of days ago we reported how a temporary information page of the Sims 2 Pets at GameSpy had "Hold for July 27th" in the title, hinting towards an announcement date of July 27th, when the PC expansion pack and console/handheld game will be officially announced. Now there's a new hint towards that date. A month ago, at 15 June, Don Laabs, Senior Producer for Maxis, wrote a letter to the community. In that letter he wrote "the official announcement is slated to happen in several weeks." Now Don's blog has a little message saying "'Several' = 6.00." Counting 6 weeks from June 15 is indeed exactly on 27 July, which now is most likely the date when Maxis will officially let us know more about Pets and pawprints. Naturally we'll report about anything happening on and before that day regarding the game, so stay tuned for details.

316. Stuff Pack 3: Festive Holiday?

Written on Saturday 15 July 2006 at 03:05 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Even though Stuff pack 2: Glamour Life has only just been announced, it seems like there are already plans for a third Stuff pack to be released early December. The British shop Play.com has a listing of "The Sims 2: Festive Holiday Stuff" at the price of £7.99 (about $15). This is the same price as the Family Fun and Glamour Life packs, suggesting that it will indeed be a full Stuff pack in a holiday theme, slightly bigger than last year's Holiday Party Pack, which had 40 instead of 60 items and was slightly cheaper. An official announcement of the pack is still a long way from now, and details probably won't be officially revealed until the last quarter of 2006.
