I can't believe all the work maxis has actually put into this game. I hope that a lot of the problems in the original sims and its expansion packs will be old news when it comes to sims 2!
There will always be bugs and glitches in everything written. Even Windows has bugs and glitches so I don't expect The Sims or any other game, software written to be bug free.
Sorry to dissappoint yall but maxis released in this one chat that the weather was cut from the game. Luc said that it was stupid and it rained inside of the house to! I want it back though!!!!!!:chinese: :devious: :disappointed:
I was sad to hear that too, I figured if they could make it "rain" for the Makin Magic pack it shouldn't have been TOO hard to control where it rained in sims 2!! ...oh well... sigh....
Weather In Sims1 Makin' Magic it was raining inside the house too at times. I still remember wondering why it was raining in the kitche of one of my Sims houses until I realized that someone had made a kitchen implement by cloning off of a plant which required water. I just laughed when I saw it. But it did look pretty silly.
Now that IS funny!!! hahaha It's good you could figure out WHY it was raining in your kitchen though! Guess we should be careful about objects cloned from plants then... or maybe I'll make it rain inside on purpose sometimes.. heehee....
I suppose since they aren't planning on having magic etc. in the sims 2 (or at least not till an expansion pack) they wouldn't have any way of having an effect on weather anyway... oh well. Maybe they'll have an expansion pack with weather and seasons at a later date... Imagine clicking just once to select Spring, Summer, Fall, or Winter, and having all the plants, ground cover, etc. change. Or maybe I'm the only one with this fantasy... haha. I spend too much time in sims 1 changing out all the trees and ground tiles to make it a snowy White Christmas.
In one of the (several) interviews (or chats) I read yesterday Neil Young (or at least I think he was the one) was saying that they had graphics problems with weather but that they might have it for an EP. Same with cars.
So, do you think it's too early to start making up wish-lists for what we'd like to see in expansions for sims 2?
What I wan't: -Pets. (Wonder if I can make a Kirby skin... (>`.`)> ) -School. (You know what I mean.) What I don't wan't: -Cars. (This isn't a racing simulation game...) -Magic. (Sorry, I just thought it was kind of cheap >.>)
If they ever did cars I wouldn't want it to work like a racing simulation game, I'd like it if they could have a parked car and click on it for the option to get in and drive to the neighbors and visit though!!
