[simsamgrl16]

theres 2 others n i think the 1 w/the mouse over it says play

[mattho]

I think by "cruise" they actually mean "chill out". But yeh, your hypothesis could equally be correct. I just don't think it necessary definately means we can drive yet ;)

[ManagerJosh]

Picture! :D

Any chance Cruise Together Might be one of those romantic cruises you go on?

[simsamgrl16]

then wuldnt it day chill out instead of cruise together? i'm goin w/my 'hypothesis' ne ways, its an option that has a ... after it wich meanz to cruise together u no. sorry im just trying to support my finding

[simsamgrl16]

sorry im just trying to support my finding

[AddictedToTS2]

well I heard that you can go to commuinal areas in this game, i dont know what areas will be available but.. i know you can have like a vacation home and a regular home... and I heard you can go places.

[missashtastic]

So my sims will be able to drive? YES!

[FinalFantasy4ever]

That sounds cool

[FinalFantasy4ever]

Err to be abvle to have more then 1 home is cool

[lilfaeriegirl078]

just becuz it says cruise, does not mean u can drive, simple basis

[simsamgrl16]

well what else wuld cruise mean? also there r parks i heard but there wont be stuff like restuarants or any big places exept for vacation homes buh thats it mayb in a future ep?

[FinalFantasy4ever]

Maybe cruise means like wqalk around together. Like cruise around the backyard. who knows we'll just have to wait and find out.

[simsamgrl16]

yea i guess so

[FinalFantasy4ever]

hehe it was the only thing i could think of

[ManagerJosh]

Or you could take it literally and think of it as a romantic cruise on a ship.

[FinalFantasy4ever]

yes u could. that is a possibility. guess we can't underestimate what they may do in ts2

[mattho]

Um..... now that I look at that pic more closely, it looks more like "Dance together"... ;)

[FinalFantasy4ever]

hmm it may be i should look at it wearing glasses but they uhh....broke hehe

[simsamgrl16]

o well i guess we'll have to wait til maxis says so

[FaeLuna]

If it says cruise together I'm wondering if that means those teen sims would leave the party together? As in the expression "let's cruise" when you mean let's leave, let's go. :p Or maybe they go off on their own at the party to find some privacy... ;)

[TheHairyDudette]

Doesn't it say 'Dance Together'? Wouldn't that make just a wee little bit more sense?

[mattho]

That's exactly what I'm thinking....

[usman]

I don't think Maxis would make outside version of home just yet. The Sims 2 mostly stays indoors.

[lilfaeriegirl078]

thats cuz their houses are gonna be so awesome that they dont want to leave!!

[simsamgrl16]

lol yup ;) lol hahaha hehe also i forgot, thereIZ community lots like grocery stores n stuff n also i read one of those it culd happen stories u no those stories that can happen in the sims 2 that u can drive but i guess we'll have to find out later ;)

[FaeLuna]

I wonder if they will have something come pick them up when they want to go to the grocery store, or if they'll be able to have cars and drive themselves? Since all the stuff so far has your sims being picked up and given a ride I'm kind of guessing they'll keep doing it that way... but we can always hope and dream....

[simsamgrl16]

yup n pray

[englishninja]

It sez dance together, it is just very blurred, but it makes sense and if you look closely it looks like dance together too.

[lilfaeriegirl078]

yeah lol i they aint gonna drive!

[FaeLuna]

I guess give us some fuzzy text and our hopeful imagination kicks into overdrive. ;) ;)

[FinalFantasy4ever]

yeah it sure seems to

[katrina]

I'm sure if Maxis was going to introduce something as big as being able to drive cars they would have mentioned it by now, that's a pretty major thing. Dance together certainly makes more sense to me.

(I've given up asking if anyone can tell how how to change my signature)

[suitemichelle]

Some things I've read suggest that s2 will go to stores for specialty items. Do you think they will walk, drive or take a taxi?

[katrina]

I think it will probably be like Old Town. Some kind of bus or tram. But that's just my guess

[FaeLuna]

I think it would be fun for them to walk and then come home carrying a bag of groceries... but since all the other versions of the game have had something pick them up that's what I'm expecting to happen in this one. I just don't know if it will be like a bus or a trolley or taxi or what.

[katrina]

That would be cool. They'll probably have that by the sims4. Will Wright said in an interview he'd like to be able to control a whole neighbourhood at once. So I think, in a few versions later, when our computers are all faster and and better, they'll probably be able to do that and then you'll be able to walk places and maybe even drive cars. That's just what I imagine happening. I hope they at least have a bus though. Who ever actually rides in trams nowadays?

[FaeLuna]

Sims 4!!!??? :o Wow THAT is thinking ahead! The thing about controlling the whole neighborhood at once makes me think of the cancelled simsville... maybe it will actually get made someday after all, just in a different way -3D! ;)

[lilfaeriegirl078]

maybe we should focus our attention back to the sims 2.... heck it aint even out yet and yall are tlaking about a 4th?!!? kerazzzzzzzzzzzzeeeeeyyyyyyyyy

[katrina]

what is simsville?

[suitemichelle]

If I remember right it's a cross between sims and sim city. The idea was scrapped because of lack of interest? Lew, Fae, Josh? Am I way off base?

[SolidSnake_19]

That's what I heard in the TheSims' chat about Simsville. A few people were saying Maxis thought it wasn't that fun or something and there wasn't that many people overly interested in it.
I could be wrong. :-/

ADDED: As for the driving part of The Sims 2 I also think that Maxis most likely would have announced it seeing as how many people seem interested in a feature such as that one.

[FaeLuna]

yeah I think that's a good description of simsville suitemichelle :) The little promo movie they had for it on one of my other sims expansions showed a little neighborhood and people walking around and I think firetrucks... I think maybe the later expansion packs that had places to go like Downtown for Hot Date and then later adding more neighborhood in Unleashed might have come from changing their focus from working on Simsville to working the ideas for it into expansion packs instead, if that makes sense. :)

[lilfaeriegirl078]

i really wanted simsville! it look so much better than simtown.... but now i have sims 2 to fawn over *sigh*

[katrina]

hmmm... yeah I can see how that might be harder to get interest in. What would be the point in it? I mean with the sims you feel close to your sims and get attached to them and it's like a real close up thing, and with simcity it's like a real far off view where you get to play a world leader or God or something. I don't see the attraction in playing inbetween that, it would be like dealing with mundane tasks without being able to feel close to your sims. Am I way off there? Why did you guys want it?

[FaeLuna]

I guess I wanted it, or at least wanted to know more about it, because it looked like I might be able to take my sims families into other neighboring houses to visit each other at home. :p And walk down the street, to the grocery store, etc. I didn't really get that it might have a lot less personal control/involvement in individual sims lives, but if that was the case I can see why there might not be that much attraction to it.

[katrina]

I bet sims would have been able to drive in that one... :)

[amethyst_88]

hehe i just noticed from that pic that there's a mat for the door that matches the rug :)

[bobandbob]

i couldn't read what it said i could only make out hug and damce together *sob*

[TheFuzeMan]

I found a website today that will test to see if your ready for ts2, i'll put it on my ftp and post if i can.

[Edited to add:] actually here it is: http://sims2.servopro.com/TS2sysreqc.htm

[suitemichelle]

Very interesting. According to this I will need a new graphics card. I wonder if I will be able to convince my hubby?

Congratulations on your first post and Welcome to WSF.
It might be better posted in Game Information and News, tho.
