2211. (SimDay Part 2) Unleashed Patch Ready

Written on Thursday 7 November 2002 at 23:28 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

When posting the SimDay report this wasn't there yet, but now it is at the official site: The patch for unleashed. This time it's not just for Americans only too, European, Asian and Japanese owners of the latest expansion can also apply this patch. Several things have been fixed, like the flooding under objects, skins losing bought skins, Sims will now watch TV sitting again, the routing has been improved a bit, and some memory leaks don't exist anymore. Finally there are a few fixes in the web pages: humans don't display pet statistics anymore, The Sims actually launches the web pages, and the Sims display the correct gender information. There are also some other important notes about it, so visit this page for important notes and the download link. If you can't wait and want to download the 3.17 Mb Patch right away, then just click here.

2212. SimDay: More SimCity

Written on Thursday 7 November 2002 at 20:27 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

As if The Sims is dead and SimCity is alive, this week's simday is all about SimCity. There are 5 new SimCity 4 articles. if you're interested in "Sims, Trains and Automobiles", "I speak for the little people! Andtheir cars! Scripting Automata", "Personalization: Your City Your Way", "Region Play" or "Props" then hop over to SimCity.ea.com and read the articles. It's quiet in Walnut Creek, so it seems... as this is all the news from the official site. Probably more news next week - unless there's completely nothing.

2215. TSO Shifted again?

Written on Sunday 3 November 2002 at 23:55 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

There seems to be some good news for those who want to test The Sims Online a little bit longer. Amazon has its release date now put at 3 December, which is again 2 weeks later than expected before (18 November). Strange enough EB Games has the old date up for a few packages of TSO. The regular pack has been set to 3 December though, so that's pretty much confirmed. If you can't wait that long, haven't been invited to the play test yet and you are in the US, then you can order the play test separately for $4,95 from this page. You can also pre-order The Sims Online with play test combined together at several shops. It's not known if any stores in Europe have this offer yet.

2216. The Neighborhood Handler 4.0 RC1 here!

Written on Sunday 3 November 2002 at 22:37 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Finally it's here. The Neighborhood Handler 4.0 RC1 (Release Candidate) can now be downloaded from this page. This version is only an update version, the DLL files of the older versions (3.x) are required. Note that the manual and proper readme aren't ready yet, it has been delayed due to RSI that I've had. I will be working on that this week, but it could still take up to a month before the final (and fully completed) release of The Neighborhood Handler 4.0 will be out. There's a whole load of new things, including the password-protecting of back-ups, giving regular neighborhoods name and comment details too, and a lot more. It's now also fully compatible with the Unleashed expansion pack. To download it go here. Due to a recent crash of my hard-drive the website has not been updated yet, so the latest files cannot be directly downloaded from there just yet. I will be working on all that as soon as possible. Have fun with it!

2220. Sim(City)Day

Written on Thursday 31 October 2002 at 20:35 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

This week there's quite a bit of SimCity news at the site of The Sims. One of those things is the chat transcript of last week's chat. Have a look at this question:

"'Do cars appear and disappear like in SC3, or do they actually go places?'
'One of my favorite things in SC4 is the traffic... it's not one for one with the population, but instead is a represantive model of the traffic patterns in your city you will actually see traffic jams occuring at different times of the day as people commute to and from work of course, if you're a kind and considerate mayor (which all of you are, I'm sure :) you'll help your Sims out by providing alternate means for them to get to work...or shopping...or....'"

To read the whole thing, visit this page. The other thing from SimCity.com is that there's a new fansite section along with a fansite pack. Now I can't find the fansite pack while browsing at the site (is that typical for Maxis?), but the list of fansites is there... it's not a real big list though. It can and should be found on this page.

The most interesting thing though, is the announcement of a patch for Unleashed. Let's hope it doesn't take them as long as the Hot Date patch, especially for 'international' users. The fixes are pretty nice though. You shouldn't be getting any flooding under objects anymore, Sims should keep their bought clothes, they should be able to watch TV sitting again, and they shouldn't be making themselves dizzy by spinning around a lot anymore. Also, some memory leaks are supposed to be fixed. What bugs we get in return isn't mentioned, but the full list of fixes is at this page. That's all for this week, more in one week.
