Behind the curtains – Options and more
Supernatural also brings us some changes in the UI. There are new options, a collectors journal and something new about the ingame store ads. My assumptions is that most of these will also be in the patch but if that is true for the lunar cycle, I really don’t know. Options Options are still global for all savegames. If you want saves with supernaturals and saves without, you need to change the options frequently. You can use AnyGameStarter for this or you can have several Options.ini files which you rename with every savegame you have. As advertised you can turn…

A diving board for Crinrict
Seasons Gamescom Information Splash! The kid jumps from the diving board. Yes, that was a jump not a dive and a splashy one too. His mom who’s standing nearby is got all wet.

Luckily the boy is still young and rather skinny for the bigger and heavier the Sim, the more will get wet around the pool when they do a splash bomb. In the background we can see the summer gnome (in the presentation, not the pic). There will be one for each Season. The…

EA’s New Help Center
EA has opened a new Help Center. ATM it’s still Beta and you can submit your ideas for making it better as well. It’s English only but for all EA games, including Sims 2. Every game has it’s own section. Answer HQ To join, you simply log on with your OriginID. I’m still unsure if they want to get rid of their old forum or at least the tech section or what their main goal is but time will tell. It has some pretty neat features like earning XPs by answering posts. You can also let EA know if a…
