Gaming News - May 2004
Redwood City, CA (May 25, 2004) - Electronic Arts today announced the
release of The Sims Mega Deluxe in North America.
From EA:
The Sims Mega Deluxe combines the original #1 PC game, The Sims, with three
of its popular expansion packs: The Sims Livin’ Large, The Sims House Party, and
The Sims Hot Date. Assembling a staggering 600 items for your Sims to use the
first time you play, there’s never been a better time to try The Sims.
The Sims, which originally launched in February 2000, is the wildly popular game
that allows players to create a neighborhood of simulated people known as Sims
and control their lives. For the first time, The Sims Mega Deluxe combines The
Sims with three popular expansion packs:
The Sims Hot Date, which allows players to be matchmakers for their Sims,
watching the sparks fly or fizzle. Sims can venture out of the house and into
the downtown area, where they’ll gossip over a candlelit dinner, buy gifts for
their dates, or just cruise the strip in hopes of getting lucky. Also included
are 125 romantically searing items like the Cuddle Couch and Lover’s Swing.
The Sims Livin’ Large allows players to put their Sims into the most outrageous
situations and settings. Its content adds 125 extreme items to the game
including a home chemistry lab, heart shaped bed, and crystal ball, as well as a
cast of wild characters such as the Grim Reaper, Genie, and Tragic Clown.
The Sims House Party gives players everything they need to throw the biggest
bashes in their neighborhood. Whether their Sims hoedown at a country barn
dance, chow down at a tropical luau, or go underground at a rave, they are sure
to rock the house. Additionally, there are over 100 outrageous items such as a
dance cage and mechanical bull, as well as madcap characters like a cake dancer
and personal caterer.
The Sims Mega Deluxe also includes The Sims™ Creator, an inventive customization
tool for creating Sim characters. Players can recreate any Sim imaginable, right
down to the smallest detail, including a variety of new clothes and customized
accessories. For the ultimate level of personalization, players can import their
face into the program and put it directly on a Sim character.
Rounding off this must-have collection, players can furnish their homes with
additional content ranging from decorative Japanese outdoor fountains to exotic
African masks. This bonus material also will be available for download from
www.thesims.com. Access to
this content requires players to own The Sims Mega Deluxe Edition, The Sims
Double Deluxe Edition, The Sims Deluxe Edition or The Sims plus any one of the
following expansion packs, The Sims Vacation, The Sims Unleashed, or The Sims
Superstar. Please visit the site for further information.
