902. New Affiliate: SP Zone

Written on Sunday 3 July 2005 at 17:18 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

As some might know, the teams of The Sims Zone and SP Zone/SimParool have worked together quite a lot in the background since a few months, and the relationship between the two sites has become very good. The Dutch site stays up-to-date with all the latest information about the Sims and Spore, just like the Sims Zone, and as of now we've decided to make the affiliation official, making SP Zone our third non-English affiliate site. We'll continue to work together to bring you the latest and greatest of the Sims, whether it's in the foreground or background. We're looking forward to keeping this going in the future, as we keep helping each other with news and more. So visit SP Zone for all the latest Sims news in Dutch!

Written on Sunday 3 July 2005 at 06:00 by Andy - 2 comments.

Last week, ChEeTaH went to see Tim Le Tourneau's presentation of "Nightlife in Amsterdam" and for those of you who haven't read it, I recommend you do it now. This will answer a lot of your questions as even though I may cover some of the same ground, this article is more of an expansion on that previous article.

What follows is my peek at "Nightlife" when Tim came to England. Read More!

904. SimDay

Written on Thursday 30 June 2005 at 20:09 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's Thursday again, and with that traditionally it's also Simday. This week Maxis has updated the official site with three things. The first is a Nightlife DJ video, of which portions have been posted in an earlier trailer. You can download and view the short clip from the videos page. It's in QuickTime format and 1.3 or 4.6 Mb. Finally the Post Office, allowing you to send e-cards to your friends, has been expanded with two new postcards. There are now a "To My Best Friend" and a "Thank You" card besides the three that already existed. Go to the post office to send the cards.

[Update 1 July, 20:10] More news items have been posted since yesterday. First of all there are two wallpapers which were put in the Nightlife fansite pack earlier. There are also new horoscopes for July. You can find out about your dating life for this month there, of course hinting towards features of Nightlife. Finally, there is a form where Maxis is gathering information from Sims players. You as Sims player can enter your details and story. The bios that Maxis gathers will be used to create collages, scrapbooks, videos and even on websites. Developers, other fans and press will see the bios. You can enter your bio on the Community Bios page.

905. Nightlife Developer Interview

Written on Tuesday 28 June 2005 at 14:46 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Tim LeTourneau is a lot in the news these days. Last week GameSpot posted an interview - written and on video - with Tim, all about Nightlife. In the written interview, Tim talks about the new features, like the pleasure aspiration, its wants and fears, career tracks such pleasure seekers are interested in, and more. About the career tracks, Tim tells that Pleasure seekers will like job hopping, and are often interested in switching to a new career. There are also several dining options in the new dining system, and besides the Gypsy matchmaker and Mrs. Crumplebottom there will also be a diva. You can read the interview for the details.

In the video interview, Tim talks about the same themes, but in different words. Nightlife is all about Sims having fun. The pleasure aspiration will tie in with the original game and University, and naturally it matches the Nightlife theme as well. Tim also says the dating etc. was still missing from the Sims 2, as it's something people do in everyday life, but wasn't possible with Sims yet. Tim also talks about story telling for a while, which he says is a key element in the game. You can check out the movie, either as free stream (GameSpot Basic account required), or a download for Complete members, of about 114 or 52 Mb. Finally, there are also three new screenshots attached to the interview. You can see those below.

906. Tim in Paris

Written on Tuesday 28 June 2005 at 13:40 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Besides Amsterdam, Tim has also been in Paris two days earlier. French fansite SimsWorld was there, and has posted a report along with pictures on their site. The report is in French, the pictures aren't. You can (try to) read the report, or check out the 75 pictures taken of the demo on this page. Similar to our report, the quality is not very high, but nevertheless there's a lot to see.

We already announced we'd be meeting Tim LeTourneau, and yesterday we did. At a presentation in Amsterdam, exclusive for Sims fans and webmasters, Tim showed off Nightlife. Naturally we took home a lot of brand new info and pictures. About cars, vampires, downtown, content, and more - we got to know quite a lot. If your question hasn't been answered yet, then don't worry. There is one more opportunity for us next week, so if you have any questions ask them by posting them here as a comment, or drop me an e-mail. Any questions that have already been submitted don't need to be sent again of course. We cannot guarantee we will ask your question, but we'll do our best to get as much info as possible out. Read on for the details and pictures of yesterday's event. Read More!

Maxis has updated the official site with two new bowling screenshots of Nightlife, and a movie. The movie shows a bar where a Sim successfully flirts with another one. It can be found on the videos page. It's not a very long video, but it gives you a little glimpse of what's new in Nightlife. The screenshots, from the screenshots page can be seen by going there or clicking the thumbnails below.

909. New Poll

Written on Thursday 23 June 2005 at 02:09 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

We've added a new poll again, as we do every week. As Nightlife gives Sims their own cars, we're wondering if that's also the favourite type of transportation for your Sims, or if they prefer something else. Vote on the right or the latest poll page. As for the place where you prefer the Sims 2, which we asked about last week, almost 74% said the PC is the place where it should be. It's followed by the Mac with merely 9% of the votes. 12 of the 316 votes (almost 4%) went to the Playstation2, after which the XBox and the "It's not everywhere" answers were tied at 3%. The GameCube got one vote less (still about 3%), and the mobile phone another vote less (closer to 2%). Finally we have the GBA (1%), PSP (1%) and the DS (1% too). To get the results with a little more detail, simply head to its results page.

910. Release Date News

Written on Tuesday 21 June 2005 at 01:23 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

We've updated our countdown on the right again as there has been some news about release dates recently. Although a little late, The Sims 2 for Mac has now been released, and will soon disappear from the Countdown bit. More interesting are the rumours for Nightlife's release date. Several shops have put up the date of 13 September for the US. With 15 and 16 September already confirmed officially in some European countries (specifically Germany and the Netherlands, and possibly others too), it seems the expansion will indeed be released in week 37 of this year. The strategy guide should arrive not too much later.

You can of course pre-order the game and the guide from our shop, so they'll arrive on your doormat around the release dates. Simply go to our shop and start ordering. You'll support us with it too!
