The Sims 2 Update - Nightlife T-mail #3

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.

Greetings Everyone,

Well as you all now know, there was a lot of news last week on the The Sims 2 Nightlife. E3 was a huge success, and The Sims 2 was everywhere. On Nintendo Gamecube, Gameboy Advance and DS, Sony PS2 and PSP, Microsoft Xbox, and of course, the one that is near and dear to all of us, the PC. Electronic Arts had a huge 360 degree theatre where a video of The Sims 2 played – it was truly amazing to see. Will Wright was also there showing off his next project, Spore. It was a great show for Maxis.

In case you've been disconnected from the internet for the last week, I'll give you run down of what people got to see in The Sims 2 Nightlife demo:

§ Downtown: Cool locations like "The Hub," I built the demo lot myself. Dancing, dining, DJ Booth, bar, etc...
§ Dating and Attraction: "Scope Out" the room to find the Sims your Sim thinks are the most attractive, find out what their Turn Ons and Turn Offs are, then ask them for a date.
§ Cars: Yeah, finally!!! After 5 years, they finally can own them. Park them in the driveway, build a garage, and choose their color. No more missing the carpool.

Oh, and Mrs. Crumplebottom moved into the neighborhood too.

I know there is a lot of stuff on the E3 demo already posted on a variety of sites, and you may have even seen me talking my way through the demo as well. But that's only a small part of what's in The Sims 2 Nightlife, so I thought I would share a few other things that I'm really excited about, and I think you will be too. I popped into the Pleasant house to take a few screens. Check out the rugs and the neighbors. Hope you like what you see.

Talk to you soon.
