Gaming News - August 2003
Redwood City, CA (August 26, 2003) - Electronic Arts today
announced plans to release this September The Sims Double Deluxe.
From EA:
The Sims Double Deluxe delivers the original #1 PC game of all time, The
Sims, as well as The Sims™ Livin' Large and The Sims™ House Party expansion
packs all in one value-packed product. With the most Sims content ever assembled
in one place, now is the best time to join The Sims phenomenon.
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. The Sims Double Deluxe combines the full version
of The Sims with the first two expansion packs in the series. The Sims Livin'
Large allows players to put their Sim families into zany situations and
settings. Its content adds dozens of extreme items like 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 opens the door
for players to throw the biggest bash, 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 numerous outrageous items such
as a dance cage and mechanical bull, as well as madcap characters like a cake
dancer and caterer.
The Sims Double Deluxe also includes The Sims™ Creator, a customization tool
for creating Sim characters. Players can recreate any Sim imaginable, right down
to the smallest detail. Users can also select new clothes, design original
attire, add logos to their clothing, and accessorize their Sims with belts,
ties, and jewelry. Players can even 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
all-new bonus content including dozens of new walls, floors, and objects in
African and Asian design themes. For all current Sims players, this bonus
material will be available to download on
www.thesims.com over the
course of four weeks beginning the week before launch.
Also included is a collection of game objects posted on
www.thesims.com since the
launch of The Sims House Party, including a Carnivorous Plant and Mistletoe that
players can incorporate into their Sim universe. The Sims Double Deluxe offers
the perfect invitation to enter the world of The Sims.
