Quote from: Wolf's Rain
Well, i guess it's good to hear good reviews for Open for Business. I also heard there is a bug in that XP, which is the main reason for me not buying it. I do like Nightlife, but i would like more variaty. The dating is hard, though! And the cars are so awsome. Whats in the Family Fun XP anyway?

 

they bought out a patch for the bug almost within days of the game being released - same as for family fun once they relised their was a major bug they got a patch out quickly.  in fact they ahve just changed the patches to included even more bug fixes which makes me happy cos one of them was for my specific graphics card, so now my Servos work properly.

Where did everyone see this pawprint?  I went to their site and didn't see it on the homepage, and it wasnt under the expansions page either.  Help!

wolf's rain just downaod the patch to your computer desktop and run it it is a self installing patch.

dlugopets if you check out the front page
http://thesims2.ea.com/
you will see the paw print after the blurb about the glamour pack and in teh forums there is a whole topic about the meaning of the paw prints that have been appearing on the site.
http://bbs.thesims2.ea.com/community/bbs/start.php?openItemID=item.108,root.1,item.43,item.104,item.41,item.23
but they are just as bad as microsoft/blue fang for keeping us in suspense.

Well its offiical now the next EP after Glamour pack is PETS!!!!

http://thesims2.ea.com/

Quote
Players will also be able to teach their pet new tricks, take them for a romp in the park, outfit them with new pet accessories and even give them a job! As in real life, your Sims’ pet will require care and training. A neglected cat with an urge to scratch might claw up your new couch if you aren’t careful, and leaving your dog unattended near a freshly planted flower bed probably isn’t wise!

"The Sims 2 Pets captures the magic between pets and their owners," said Executive Producer Rod Humble. "A dog gnawing at his chew toy, a cat jumping at a dangled feather, a toddler stroking the chest of a big dog who sits by patiently—even a frisky dog getting caught rolling around in the trash. These special moments all come to life through the lifelike animations and artwork of The Sims 2 Pets. There is something delightful about your Sim, a little pet person, having a pet of their own. Pets allows players to tell more stories with their Sims and helps create more emergent anecdotes within the game."

So far they have 34 breeds, but in the create a pet, you can create pretty much any type of breed, from what I gathered by reading the press release and info page.

If "Pets" includes Birds and Reptiles, plus smaller mammals, I might just buy Sims 2. I think it'd be cool if they Made a Sim Zoo, and you could tranfer the zoo to Sims 2, and visit the zoo.
