    City Living Event in Cologne

    Introduction  As for other expansions before I followed an invitation from EA Germany to the City Living event in Cologne and was able to get an impression of what we can expect with the new expansion pack. The event was taking place at the Unitymedia Medialofts. We were well taken care of and could enjoy some international food at the lunch buffet. We were able to play the game for about 6 hours after an approx. 20 min presentation by SimGuruGrant. It was not possible to import any existing Sims or savegames so that we all started with a brand new game. Since…

    Get Together – Producer Event in Cologne

    Introduction EA Germany invited quite a few fan sites to check out Get Together at their German headquarter in Cologne. Apart from a short Q/A with Graham Nardone through Skype, we had the opportunity to test the new expansion pack for 6 hours and take some screenshots home for you guys. Be aware that all of these are in German since that was the language the game was installed in. My green Freezer Bunny accompanied me and checked out all the decoration and surroundings. 6 hours are long .. but also very short. We could not test everything and many questions…

    Get To work – Producer Event in Cologne

    Introduction The producer event to Get to Work in Cologne was a great adventure as always and we had tons of fun. It was great to see everyone and meet new people and the rich food buffet was great too. A big thank you to everyone involved. Unfortunately we didn’t get to see the presentation since something was broken but SimGuruAzure gave us a short introduction and then we had about 5 hours hands-on time with the new expansion. This is of course not enough to test everything thoroughly but it gave us enough time to take a look at…

    Crinrict’s SimsCamp Adventures

    When I found my invitation to SimsCamp in Cologne in my in-box in june, I could hardly believe it. The anticipation was big and the expectations even higher and the event that took place from August 20th to August 22nd 2013 at the German computer game show did exceed those. The whole event was very well organized and despite a little issue here and there, everything went like clockwork. The time table was pretty full and I don’t think anyone got much sleep that week but it was so worth it. Photo: EA After SimsCamp I also had the opportunity…

    SimsCamp@crinrict.com

    Sitting here at Zuerich Airport waiting for my flight to leave. Most of the others are already in Cologne and I can’t wait to meet them What reports to expect on crinrict.com I’m still unsure how to handle the whole thing since there are so many site going to post so much stuff. SimsVIP has a list of participants so you know which sites to check out. I will probably not be posting anything during Gamescom week but save it all for afterwards. I’m just going to enjoy myself. Reporting directly is not really the focus of my site and to…

    SimsCamp@Gamescom

    As many other Simmers I’ve been invited by EA to attend SimsCamp in Cologne. I will have the opportunity to take a look at Sims 4 and Sims 3 Into the future. I did not receive a detailed program yet but what I can see on the short description I got, sounds very exciting. I’m still a little unsure how to organize my posts here and on which aspects I should focus. It will be way to early to say anything about any bugs and you’ll read all about the most important News and features on other sites. I will…
