Thanks to a helpful message from NH1 on the S2C boards, I have some new information to share with you in regards to this package.

Based on this pre-order page it appears that the Sims Deluxe package will include the base game along with the Nightlife expansion pack. I had hoped it would include a little more, but it’s a start I guess. We’ll probably see the “complete collection” around the time the sims 3 is released …

Starting with some news from the official site - they’ve updated the Pets patch, get it here!. You can also download Prima Strat Guide Samples by clicking this link which will take you to the help page offering the downloads and various other help.

Also worth noting is that the Sims franchise now has it’s own seperate help site, support.thesims.com where you can get sims-specific help and not have it a mishmash of all EA games.

A Mac World article lets us know they are planning to bring all the stuff packs to the Mac, with the first one being Family Fun Stuff due to be in stores in April.

Gamespot has given us a huge update in regards to mysims for the wii - read about it here - there are also videos to watch and pictures to see.

Last, but not least, IGN has reviewed the Seasons expansion and given it the highest rating it’s ever given any sims expansion. read the article here.

The official German site has posted a number of screenshots from the upcoming stuff pack “Celebration Stuff”. It appears that we even get new hairstyles in this pack, which is something simmers seem to want more than other things. You can also see a video showcasing party accessories.

See everything here!

Also of note, if you pre-order your copy of the Celebration Stuff Pack from EB Games, game.co.uk or Gamestop, you get a free download of a blue party dress. Pre-ordering from the EA store or gameplay.co.uk will get you a pretty chandelier and play.com pre-orders are slated to receive a black tuxedo.
