241. Sims 2 Mobile Podcast

Written on Friday 7 October 2005 at 22:36 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The first two Podcasts were about the Sims 2 Nightlife and the Sims 2 on Consoles. This week Dano presents an interview with Shanti Bergel who produces the Sims 2 for mobile phones. Shanti first talks about the different versions that are coming out for different handsets. The second question is all about the limits of the platform, and how much can be put in the little amount of memory a phone has. He also says the game looks like the Sims 1, but has some Sims 2 gameplay and assets in it. Trading is up next in the interview, and the almost 7-minute interview ends with some things about the connected version. He tells how a Sim can be created on a PC and then downloaded to your phone, what Splendington is, what your goal is, and what the power of the networking system of the game is. All the details can be heard by listening to the MP3 file or by opening the podcast. Of course this all comes from the official site.

242. University/Nightlife Patch Next Week

Written on Friday 7 October 2005 at 22:22 by ChEeTaH - 1 comment.

Recent news about the University and Nightlife patch revealed that the patch was in testing stages late last month. More than two weeks later that's still the case, but it shouldn't take much longer. The patch can be expected to be put online next week, even though the first target date was yesterday. The release date isn't definite though - it's merely an estimate. Nevertheless the patch should now be very near to completion. An exact date for the release is not given. The following was said by MaxoidKane in this post:

"Just heard that the patch won't be out until next week instead of today. It's still in testing and that's the new estimate. Sorry to bring you the bad news but wanted to update you with what I know."

243. 200 Polls

Written on Thursday 6 October 2005 at 02:00 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

The past 14 weekly polls haven't received a newspost to announce them. Yet today there's a somewhat special poll, as it marks a new milestone. Since The Sims Zone launched we started having polls, which after a while were refreshed every week. Almost every week there was a new poll to vote for- and sometimes more than one, like during Sim Brother time. We now have 199 polls in the archive, which means the current poll is number 200. Of course it isn't the last one. As usual we'll keep updating the poll every Thursday at around midnight UK time, when you can find the new poll on the right sidebar on every page of The Sims Zone. So voice your opinion and keep voting every week, including this one!
