Welcome to The Sims™ 2 Scoop - your best source for the
latest news from The Sims 2 Team.
E3 JUST AROUND THE CORNER!
April has been an exciting month for The Sims 2 team as we
prepare to head to the biggest show of the year in interactive
entertainment: the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3. Every
year, tens of thousands head to Los Angeles to witness the
latest advances, marvels, and flat-out gorgeous eye candy that
the industry has to offer.
The Sims 2 is
set to make a splash at this year's E3, with new videos, a
massive mural of characters waiting to greet entrants, animated
billboards, and demos ready to show off new features. The team
will be showing off some truly realistic Sims, as they guide
each Sim through life with a purpose and experience their big
life moments. We'd love to reveal more, but plans are top
secret; you'll have to tune in for the next issue to see. In the
meantime, we'll let you have an inside look at some Sims
starring in this year's E3.
See some E3
Sims.

THE SIMS 2 BODY SHOP SHIFTS INTO GEAR
The Sims 2 Body Shop was released for closed beta testing last
month, and the custom content craze has not stopped! if you're
just checking in, The Sims 2 Body Shop is an independent tool
that will let you customize each individual part of a Sim, then
mix and match those parts to create a totally unique Sim.
We've been receiving awesome screenshots of some of our fans'
creations, and expect to see tons more once the tool becomes
downloadable next month. Some of our artists spent time cranking
out their own fashion statements, so click below to see some
Maxis-style Sims.

MOVING ONTO CAMPUS
Maxis has been hard at work on making The Sims 2 shine for E3
2004. When we're not polishing this game to perfection, we're
still busy moving into our new home at EA Redwood Shores, EA's
international headquarters. The halls are decked, the dust has
settled, and our Sim sense of style is now a permanent fixture
on the EA campus. We took some pics of our new workspace to show
you all where the magic happens.
