2161. The Sims: SuperStar?

Written on Thursday 19 December 2002 at 00:46 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Another expansion for The Sims could be coming our way... *sigh* It's called The Sims: Superstar, and there are some first rumours about that now - nothing is confirmed yet! At this page you can pre-order it. The retail price is $49,95 New Zealand Dollars, which is approximately 25 US dollars. Because the developer and publisher are "EA Games" on that site, it also seems to be an official pack. Note that this all is totally unconfirmed and it are only some first rumours. It could all be false. This would be the 6th (!) expansion pack for The Sims, not counting the Deluxe Edition. Of course, it could also be an expansion pack for The Sims Online. It's a matter of waiting for more news about it... if it's true anyway.

2162. More about TSO in 60 Minutes II

Written on Wednesday 18 December 2002 at 23:31 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Thanks to Sumit, there's some more information about the 60 Minutes show tonight. At this page you can find 3 web-exclusive RealPlayer Clips. One clip is about Will Wright and Chris Trottier talking about the differences between computer games and other media like novels and such. The other two are about the powerful appeal of The Sims, and that Will Wright admits he's God in a certain sense. It are quite short clips, but that doesn't make them any less interesting. This page has more information, and perhaps more videos will be put online after the show, which is shown at 8pm EST/PST on CBS News. Oh yeah, there's another clip about Bill Gates in the gaming business... but who really cares about that? You need RealPlayer to view the clips.

2163. The Sims Online ships

Written on Tuesday 17 December 2002 at 23:35 by ChEeTaH - 2 comments.

The Sims Online was shipped today, which means it will be in the stores tomorrow! Unfortunately this only goes for people in the USA. Play testers in the USA and Canada can play it for free for another 2 weeks. After that they'll have to buy the game and pay for it to keep playing the game. There's a press release at the official site. Interesting in it is a bit about the costs: it costs $49.99 to buy and $9.95 monthly to play the game. Not too interesting on itself, but then there's this page. It says that Europeans will basically pay a lot more: 54.99 to buy the game, and 12.99 monthly. For all play testers, this page might be interesting. It's about the Founders program, including a small bit for people not in the US, saying they'll be able to play the play test until after the release in their area. The press release can be found here. More information about The Sims Online is at the official TSO site.

2164. Another TSO Chat

Written on Tuesday 17 December 2002 at 23:17 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

AC2 Warcy, a site about MMORPGs (Massive Multiplayer Online RPGs), is going to have a chat with the TSO team. TSO will be released in the US tomorrow, and Friday, at 9pm EST this chat event will be held. That's 2am British time, 3am in Europe and 6pm PST. If you have questions, you can ask them there. More information is available at this page. At this moment, we've also submitted the questions for our TSO interview and you can expect that to appear here soon. We want to thank everybody who submitted questions to us for that.

2165. TSO on 60 Minutes II

Written on Tuesday 17 December 2002 at 23:07 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

"Don't miss 60 Minutes II, Wednesday, December 18, at 8:00PM ET/PT, when reporter Bob Simon takes an in-depth look at the video games industry with a spotlight on The Sims Online. The story features interviews with designers Chris Trottier and Will Wright."

Now I'm not American but I guess '60 Minutes II' is a tv show..? Anyway, this bit comes from the official TSO site, says it all doesn't it? It's probably worth checking out I guess.

2166. The Neighborhood Handler 4.00 Final out!

Written on Sunday 15 December 2002 at 22:34 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's here, the final version of The Neighborhood Handler 4.00! After months of work, it's finally ready. The manual got a new design and has been rewritten nearly completely. A few tutorials have been added too. But most important: the program is working ok! There were still quite a lot of bugs in the latest Release Candidate 2 version, a few of them causing not all files to be copied properly. Those old versions have been taken offline. To prevent such problems and other bugs, ALL users of The Neighborhood Handler 4.0 RC1 or 4.0 RC2 MUST upgrade to the 4.00 final version! I will not be giving any support anymore for these versions. Because this update is so critical, everybody can download it right away, so the big public doesn't have to wait a week after the group members got it.

You can download the full version from this page, or get the upgrade version here. For the upgrade version, you need to have version 3.7 or later installed. Enjoy this new version.

2167. TSO December Update

Written on Saturday 14 December 2002 at 18:43 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Now it's getting so close to the release of The Sims Online, the official site has gone through a bit of a remake. You could call it a relaunch. Unfortunately, quite a few things (like the news, message boards and more) have moved to the player website only, guests can't access much. However, one of the new things everybody can enjoy is the Sim Persona Test. Test what kind of Sim Personality you have there! All you have to do is answer 16 questions. Some old game features articles have been put in the spotlight again too. However, there are also new articles from this month. All the old and new articles can be found at this page. One new article is about advertising in the game, others about categorising, "Backstage Online!?" and an article about the media attention. The fifth 'article' is the persona test I mentioned earlier. Those who are in the beta test or who will be having the game next week (you must be registered anyway), can visit the player website here. All other people should have a look at this page.

Any spare bit of money, from $1 to $100 or even more, is useful to us. Of course, the more you donate the happier we are. Oh, and don't worry that you have to pay in US Dollars: we accept British Pounds, Euros and Canadian dollars to. So please donate now!

2169. European fans can test TSO longer

Written on Friday 13 December 2002 at 21:39 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

There's some good news for European play testers of The Sims Online. As the release of the game in the US is coming closer and closer, the test is also getting closer to its ending. Testers can enjoy the game until another 2 weeks after the release, so until the beginning of next year. However, Europeans still have to wait a while for The Sims Online to be released. Fortunately though, those Europeans will be get in the so-called "International Founders Group". They can play until a while after the European release for free. If you register the full version of The Sims Online before the end of the play test (and after the release) then you will not lose your game progress. The exact release date in Europe is yet undetermined, but it will be next year.
