Welcome to The Sims 2! Part 2

Please note I'm currently working on the new site. I didn't want to take the site offline though, so you can still visit it. However me working on the site while it's still online means a lot of the pages will appear wonky. But not to worry, it won't take too long.

Hello everyone:Let me start off by saying that I was thrilled by all of your responses to my first email. It was great to hear from all of you on an individual basis and realize that you are all as excited about The Sims 2 as we are here at Maxis.

As I promised, I want to share with you as much information about the game as possible leading up to launch. It is also important to me that we provide you, our community leaders, with exclusive information whenever possible. So in that spirit, have I got something for you!

Here are new and exclusive screenshots only available to you:

These screens illustrate various aspects of The Sims 2. In the new game your Sims are more believable in every way—in how they look and act, in how they respond to the world around them and how they interact with each other. You can post this screens on your websites.

As before, please feel free to email with any comments, questions or suggestions. I appreciate hearing from all of you.

That's all for now. Again, I am excited about our upcoming challenges and believe that, as a combined team, we can make The Sims 2 bigger and better than ever.

Cheers,

Luc Barthelet

General Manager, Maxis
