Mail From Tim with Screenshots!

TSR and the Sims Zone has mail from Tim LeTourneau one of the creative forces behind the Sims. His mail came complete with three new shots from Nightlife. In his mail he mentions and new dance called the "Smustle" which gets the whole family involved. Here is the mail:

"Hi Everyone,

"Well I know I haven't written in awhile, but as many of you may know, I've been traveling around showing the game to a lot of our international players. It was a great trip, and as always, I was blown away by the fan community and their love for the game. I also had some great Sims cultural experiences, like Disco Bowling with the Dutch fan community in Amsterdam - talk about something you can tell the grandkids someday.

"Things continue to move forward with The Sims 2 Nightlife. So much progress was made while I was away. The Bowling Alley and Karaoke Machine are a couple of my favorite objects, and they just keeping getting better. Also while I was gone the child animations got hooked up for "The Smustle;" there is nothing funnier than seeing a whole family, including grandma and grandpa out of the dance floor. Knowing you guys, I wouldn't be surprised if "The Smustle" starts a new International dance craze. I can't wait for you to be able to play it yourselves.

"We are having a big day today here at EA. Each year we do something called Hot Summer Night. This is when we invite journalists to come in and see all of our games. Since you guys can't be here, I didn't want you to be left out, so I'm attaching a couple of new shots exclusively for you.

"I promise you'll hear more from me over the next few weeks, and I'll keep you posted on progress too."

-Tim

I think that these first two screens probably are showing that.

Looks like our sims have a new way to propose. How cute is this???

A new cheat has been discovered by Snooty Sims. This one allows you to set the volume of the TV your sims are watching so it is no longer the dominant sound. You can find out more about it here.

Also, since EA games is holding their Hot Summer Nights there are some more screenshots to go with the three I've already put up. But instead of posting them all here, the Sims Zone has them all on a page so to see them go here.

In general fansite updates:
Sim Squirts has nine new outfits for toddler girls available for download that are absolutely adorable.

Hope you all enjoy your weekend.

Happy Simming!
