611. Help with Bustin' Out cheats

Written on Tuesday 30 December 2003 at 19:55 by ChEeTaH - 10 comments.

Many people seem to be having trouble entering the cheats for Bustin' Out. Some people managed to get it to work though. If you want more details, click here for a previous news post to which many people have replied with details about the cheats on various platforms. The cheats page has also been updated, and you can view that by clicking here.

When entering the codes, remember that they have to be entered very quickly (within 1.5 seconds). You may also want to try in both live and buy (paused) mode, as it seems that cheats work only in either of them. On the PS2, L3 and R3 refer to pressing the analog sticks down, something that not everybody knows. Finally, the cheats are different for every console, so you should make sure to type the correct ones. The money cheat has only been confirmed for the X-Box so far, and not for the PS2 or GameCube.

It's wise to post questions in the comments of this news item. Click here to read them as well. I don't have the game myself and am unable to test the cheats for you. Using the comments you'll be able to reach a lot more people. Of course any feedback, especially if the cheats did work for you, is appreciated as well, by many people. Please post a comment if you managed to get the cheats to work, with details on which console (PS2, GameCube or X-Box) and how exactly you entered them. That will help many people.

612. SimDay

Written on Thursday 25 December 2003 at 23:55 by ChEeTaH - 4 comments.

There's news this Christmas. You might expect it to be a holiday, but Maxis has still posted a few things. And so we are reporting about it. Although it's not much, it's not something to keep from you. The biggest thing is a new download, in the form of a table soccer table. At TS2U the webmasters and Will Wright (as well as some others) played a few matches at a real-life table. So did I, and I actually did ask if it was in The Sims 2 or not... But now it's in The Sims 1, if you have vacation or a later expansion pack anyway. You can download it from Get Cool Stuff. Another thing is a link to the interview with Will at GameSpot, which we posted about a couple of days ago. Finally there's the message that Maxis is on a break until 5 January in the next year. Sounds far away, but it's just 2 weeks from now. No Simday until then...

613. Merry Christmas

Written on Wednesday 24 December 2003 at 02:35 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

On behalf of everybody from The Sims Zone, I want to wish everybody a merry (and white) Christmas. Don't forget about your Sims, but don't spend too much time with them either :-) If you're going to get any presents, let's hope it's Makin' Magic, Bustin' Out or anything else Sims-related. Our 'present' to you are several new extras. The first one is a complete career index of ALL the careers in The Sims 1 and its expansions. You can now get more info about every career in high detail, including job descriptions, requirements, working times, and mood change per hour. And of course the salary... You can get in by clicking here. Some of the careers have been in the index for quite a while, but the last ones weren't added until a few days ago. Besides that, we've finally added a few review indexes, which contain links to many reviews we've found on the internet of the recently released games. Click the names below to go to the index for each game:

• Makin' Magic
• Bustin' Out (GBA)
• Bustin' Out (Consoles)

I want to thank GameRankings, ToTheGame and SimsZone.de for providing the many links to all the reviews. You can always access these review indexes, as well as the career index, through our Extras section.

We've added a new poll again for this week. We know some Sims are more old-fashioned than others, but we're interested in more precise figures. Hence this week's poll "How modern are your Sims?". Vote at the right or this page. If you want to see the results of last week's (100th) poll, click here.

Written on Sunday 14 December 2003 at 20:06 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

After a private release to the TNHH group last week, The Neighborhood Handler 4.11 has now been released to everybody. You can download this Makin' Magic compatible version from this site, in the Utilities section. You'll need to download the full version if you haven't installed The Add-on Handler 0.3.0b yet, otherwise you can get the upgrade version. The Website will be updated later tonight. For more information about this new version, I recommend reading last week's post. If you don't know what the Neighborhood Handler is or does, check out the website.

616. Sims 2 Release Date?

Written on Sunday 14 December 2003 at 16:07 by ChEeTaH - 3 comments.

Many people have talked about the release date of The Sims 2. So far only "First Quarter" and "Early Spring" 2004 were mentioned. It turns out that it could be both. EA Germany has published 19 March 2004 as (European) release date. That would mean the game would probably be released at 16 March in the US. Note that this release date is still not definite, and might change later. Also, the official Sims 2 site still says early spring. The closer we get to the release date, the more definite it'll be. Perhaps Maxis will release a date in the chat next SimDay, which can only then be considered pretty definite (as Maxis doesn't seem to delay games once an exact date is given, as they've proven with previous expansion packs and other games). Credit goes to SimsZone for publishing this news.

617. Poll #100

Written on Friday 12 December 2003 at 00:39 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

After having a new poll on this site nearly every week (with some exceptions), the 100th poll is now up, and you can cast your vote at the right or right here. It's a bit later than usually, but as usual you'll have until midnight (UK Time) between Wednesday and Thursday to vote. So cast your vote... Now! As for last week's poll's results: According to 186 of our visitors, more than 57% of the Sims will celebrate Christmas with a load of presents. 20% of the Sims are getting some presents. In total, about 18% of the Sims doesn't celebrate Christmas at all. If you want to see the exact results, click here.

618. SimDay

Written on Friday 12 December 2003 at 00:34 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

Slightly late, but not too late: the report about this week's SimDay. There isn't too much though: the weekly chat (which has already started at the time of writing), a Community Update, and 2 other things. The first of these is an interview with JudHudson from SimPrograms. Finally there are 15 new screenshots of Bustin' Out on the consoles. This game will be released tomorrow (Europe) or next week (US). You can take a peek at this page. That's all for this week already.

619. New Sims 2 Screenshot

Written on Tuesday 9 December 2003 at 21:47 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

A new screenshot of The Sims 2 has popped up on the net a few days ago, and I of course don't want to let you miss it. Hence you can find the picture below (click it for a bigger version). As you can see it shows a happy family/household with Sims licking plates, thinking, jumping, sleeping and looking down. Enjoy it.

620. The Add-on/Neighborhood Handlers updated!

Written on Saturday 6 December 2003 at 23:49 by ChEeTaH - 0 comments.

It's been a long wait, but I'm happy to say that I've finally released new versions of both The Add-on Handler and The Neighborhood Handler. The Add-on Handler is available for everybody right here. Nore that you do need the full version, even if you have a previous version. This is because all the DLLs have been updated because I'm using newer software now. The Neighborhood Handler is only available to members of the Yahoo! Group now, but everybody will be able to download it next week. Members received an e-mail with details where to find the new version. If you want it now, I recommend you become a member (for free) and download it. As both programs now use the same DLL files, you will only have to download the full version of one of the programs. For a list of the major changes, read more... Read More!
