602. University in November on Mac

Written on Friday 26 August 2005 at 21:53 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's been almost six months since The Sims 2 University was released on the PC, and about 2 months since the Mac release of the original game. Now, Aspyr has announced that the first expansion pack will be available for the Mac in November of this year. The expansion is now in Early Development, which means the release date might still change. Naturally we'll keep you updated as the release nears.

603. More Nightlife Screens

Written on Friday 26 August 2005 at 21:47 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Nightlife has been completed, and that means screenshots made now can show the game in its full glory. Several new screenshots have appeared. One is from the official site, the three others were posted by the Spanish Capital Sims, and originally came from the official Spanish site. Those four can be found below. For more, you can visit the website of the German GameStar magazine. They've posted 42 new screenshots (of the German version) in their screenshots gallery.

604. T-Mail #6

Written on Wednesday 24 August 2005 at 13:53 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Tim has sent another e-mail to the community. This time he gives two screens of Nightlife, showing the day/night button in the neighborhood view. The team has put the finishing touches on the expansion pack, which quite possibly means that it's gone gold. Other than that he tells a bit about the fansite event at Maxis just over a week ago, where several website representatives, including me, visited to check out the Sims 2 on consoles and handhelds. Scot Amos and Virigina McArthur, producers for respectively the Consoles and Handhelds/Mobile versions of the Sims 2, are also introduced. They will probably send out e-mails like Tim in the near future. Read the entire mail in the Read More part, as usual, and see the screenshots by clicking the thumbnails below.

Two days ago the annual GamesConvention started in Leipzig, Germany. This gaming expo is one of the biggest public expos where gaming publishes and developers show off their latest upcoming games. Of course Electronic Arts is also showing several games, including the Sims 2 on Consoles and Nightlife for the PC. Several, mostly German, Sims fansites are also attending. TheSims.de has already posted some screenshots of Nightlife taken during the convention, in two posts on their frontpage. The Sims Zone is also at the GamesConvention and we'll post pictures and more in the next week - so stay tuned for more.

Written on Saturday 20 August 2005 at 14:52 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Maxis regularly holds developer chats so the fans of the game can meet the team behind it. One of those will be held next Thursday, 25 August. This time you will be able to discuss Nightlife and ask any questions you still have about the upcoming expansion pack, which will be released in less than a month, directly to the team. As usual the chat will be held at 3pm PST, which is 11pm in the UK and midnight CET. You'll need to go to the chat page at that time to join the chat.

Three episodes could be seen before, but now you can also download episode four from the videos archive. There you can also still find the previous three episodes of the Strangerhood Studios series.

610. Nightlife Preview and Lots of Screens

Written on Wednesday 17 August 2005 at 03:06 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The second expansion pack for the Sims 2, Nightlife, is nearing completion and with less than a month to go to its release, GameSpot has had some exclusive hands-on time with the game. In their preview written about it, some new details are given. For example, the pre-made downtown area will feature 31 locations to go to, including clubs, restaurants, spas, parks, an art museum, a grocery, bars, shops, and more. The Gypsy Matchmaker which can also be found downtown will set up a date for you for §5,000. That is more expensive than some cars, which come from §950 to §11,500. Added is also the "Ask" interaction, which besides asking about wants and fears also lets you know about the other Sim's job and how much money they make. Besides all that there are dozens of new options in Create-A-Sim. The preview also mentions the new lights, which are basically the only graphical improvements to the game. They do seem to slow down the framerate of the game a bit if a lot is going on, so tweaking the graphical details settings might be needed to keep your game running smoothly. Other than that, the expansion pack will probably be received better as it has a bigger impact on the original game than University did, says Gamespot. Along with the preview, 22 screenshots were posted. 20 Other screenshots come from the official Japanese site. These small shots were found by SnootySims. One of them shows what could be a food fight, so there might be throwing more than just drinks in the expansion pack. Click all the thumbnails in the read more bit (below or behind the link) for larger versions of all these screenshots. Thanks to joesemsims for the Gamespot link. Read More!
