802. New University Cheats & Hacks Info

Written on Thursday 3 March 2005 at 00:41 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Now the Sims 2 University is out, many people are trying things out with the game. The first problems have also arrived, mainly having to do with installed hacks. It is said old versions of the hacks don't work properly anymore after installing the first expansion pack. Some hacks even cause major problems, and it's advised that you uninstall any of those prior to installing the first expansion pack. More information about the problems can be found in this thread at ModTheSims2, which also has a list of hacks that do and do not (yet) work with the expansion pack. Currently all our objects for the Sims 2 that you find on this site are expansion pack ready, and should not cause any problems in your game. If you want to be sure that you got a proper version, it might be wise to redownload and reinstall those objects.

Other news concerns some new cheats. We already gave one cheat to place objects diagonally earlier, but that one is not right (as may have been expected). The other two were known, but now some more details are given:

• changeLotZoning [residential | community | greek | dorm | secretsociety]: Changes the zoning type of the lot. Before rezoning a lot using this cheat, make sure there are no Sims currently living in the lot. To use this cheat, enter the lot that you would like to rezone, and then enter the cheat, choosing one of these zoning options.
• boolProp dormSpecificToolsDisabled [true|false]: Enables build/buy mode tools that would normally be disabled when in a dorm lot.
• boolProp allow45DegreeAngleOfRotation [true|false]: Allows users to rotate any object in 45 degree increments instead of the 90 degree increments used for most objects.

These cheats, as well as the descriptions, are placed in the Readme file of the Sims 2 University. Thanks to SP Zone and AlphaZedPrime in this thread at N99 for the info.

803. Sims 2 for Mac in June

Written on Thursday 3 March 2005 at 00:29 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Despite May 2005 was planned to be the month for the release of the Sims 2 on the Mac platform, Aspyr has delayed the project by a month. It's now in Beta stage (see Aspyr's Product Status page), and so is feature-complete and in the debugging stage. An exact release date hasn't been given by Aspyr yet, but we'll keep you posted. For more information about the Mac version of the Sims 2, see its info page.

804. IGN University Review

Written on Tuesday 1 March 2005 at 18:57 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

After GameSpot and GameSpy, entertainment network IGN has now also posted its review of the Sims 2 University. SimJim appears in the screenshots posted in the review again, although he's mentioned in no more than just one paragraph. IGN's main downside about the game are graphical glitches and bugs, whereas the animations are excellent. With an 8.5 of 10, and an Editor's Choice award, they think it's a good expansion pack. Read the review to get their exact thoughts.

806. Objects at 45 Degrees

Written on Tuesday 1 March 2005 at 01:01 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

A new cheat that will be included in University will allow you to place objects diagonally. This is revealed by MaxoidTom, a Maxis employee, in this post at the ModTheSims2 forums. He won't reveal the cheat yet, but Snooty from SnootySims does reveal that boolprop mayPlaceDiagonally [true/false] might be the cheat in question. It's unsure if this is the actual cheat, but it does exist in the original Sims 2 files but is disabled. It might be enabled in University. This is said in a post at the SimParool forums (post and most of the site in Dutch). It's unsure if this is the actual cheat or not, but Maxis will probably reveal that later.

810. University Reviews

Written on Tuesday 1 March 2005 at 00:37 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

More reviews of University have popped up the past few days. The first is from GameSpot. They grade the expansion a 7.9 out of 10. In three pages and some screenshots they give their opinion. The main downside: there are some stability problems. You can read the review, or actually watch a video review as well as some new gameplay movies of the pack. Those can be found through the media page. Besides that review, there is a slightly older preview at Yahoo! Gamesdomain. That one doesn't really bring any new info, but if you want you can of course still read it.
