2231. Earth & Beyond official skins

Written on Friday 25 October 2002 at 00:08 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Westwood, another part of EA, has released the Earth & Beyond recently. As special item for all the Sims fans, they've made three skins for all the Sims fans to be downloaded and put in that game. The 264 kb big file, can be downloaded straight from here. It's a Zip-file, so you'll need WinZip or a different program that's capable of managing zip-files to open it.

2232. SimDay: TV Commercial, chat

Written on Thursday 24 October 2002 at 23:55 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

We already told you in the SimDay last week that there would be a chat with Frank Simon, producer of SimCity 4. That chat is later tonight, at midnight (GMT), 1am in Europe or 3PM PST. Make sure you go there tonight, you can enter right here. The other thing this week is that the Unleashed TV Commercial can be downloaded. There are two files, a big version of 3.23 MB, and a smaller one for 1.08 MB. Have fun downloading and watching it, just in case you haven't seen it already. That's all again for this week, more next week...

2233. Poll Results

Written on Thursday 24 October 2002 at 02:12 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Last week's poll was all about The Sims Online's Play Test. Are you playing this game already, or won't you? Most people told us that they were invited but cannot play because they're in Europe (21 votes, 25.93%) - even though that changed last week for part of Europe. 16 People (19.75%) didn't know about the play test. Third place is "Yes, I was invited nearly right away!". That option got 14.81% (12) of the 82 votes. The other results are as follows:

8 votes, 9.88%: I'm not subscribed to the TSO newsletter, so that's a no

7 votes, 8.64%: I'm waiting to get invited, and I can't wait!

4 votes, 4.94%: Yup, I was invited near the beginning of this month

1 votes, 1.23%: I pre-ordered TSO with play test or will do that soon

In total, it adds up to 20.73% (17 of 82) people who are able to play TSO already. The remaining 79.27% (65 of 82 votes) cannot play the game at the moment... yet.

This week's poll is the last regular Sim Brother eviction poll! Make sure you vote either Dave or Samuel out of the Sim Brother II house. You can vote on the right or at this page.

2236. TSO Play Test for FilePlanet Subscribers

Written on Tuesday 22 October 2002 at 03:01 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Maxis, EA and FilePlanet have teamed up a bit, which is something a bit special for everybody all over the world: FilePlanet subscribers can download the TSO Play Test and so play the game before many others. If you are a FilePlanet subscriber, then you can simply download the pack. It's not a simple quick download though: 1214 Megabyte (over 1 Gigabyte!). Getting it sent on CD seems impossible, as you immediately go over the 600mb limit of 1 cd they have... but subscribers could try to see if it actually is possible to get it sent on two cds. The idea probably is that you download the 2 cds, instead of getting them sent home. If you have broadband, then go to here to go to the download page, or to get it on cd if you don't have broadband (and if it is really possible). A bit more information can be found here.

2237. Submissions page update

Written on Monday 21 October 2002 at 18:35 by Steve - 0 comments.

It is now possible to submit lots created with The Sims Unleashed.
If you have a lot (or any file) which you want to submit make sure you check out the submissions page before sending your file in.

2238. Small TSO Play Test Update

Written on Sunday 20 October 2002 at 02:55 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Until recently, it wasn't possible for Europeans to select their country after being invited for the TSO play test. The problem was that you had to select a US state, but couldn't select a country. However, the state list has been updated and now includes Canada (split up in its states), the countries Australia, the UK (split up into England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland), Ireland, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden and other (South-American) countries. For German people there is a different rule, which you can read about here. The other European countries where The Sims has been released (like the Netherlands, Belgium and others), as well as for the Asian countries, cannot be selected. This might change however, if there's news we'll let you know. Note that shipping costs to these countries are $10 and not $5 as told by Maxis before! The $5 only applies to citizens of the USA, not even Canada. The play test will probably run until the end of November (included 2 weeks play time after the release), so that's just a bit more than a month left. If the play test lasts longer for Europeans (where the game is released a month later) is yet unknown.

Written on Saturday 19 October 2002 at 01:58 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

A few new screenshots of The Sims on PlayStation 2 have appeared at the German site SimsZone.de. There are 4 shots which show the similarities with the PC version, but also the differences - as you can see a bit of the split screen mode. To have a look at those shots, click the thumbnails that you'll see right after you click here.
