There are three different versions of this years Holiday Stuff; The Sims 2 Holiday Edition, The Sims 2 Happy Holiday Stuff and The Sims 2 Happy Holiday Mini Pack (the mini pack is for those of you who bought the 2005 Holiday Edition or Stuff Pack).

Can Pets go in cars? Will you be able to breed small dogs and big dogs together? Can Sims make a living out of breeding pets? Can a Sim be both a vampire and a werewolf at the same time? Are There Any New Lifetime Wants????

All of these questions and more were answered by the Maxoids in a Live Chat held this afternoon.

After watching the Pets Producer video, I’ll bet you’re wondering how to keep pets from destroying your simmies homes. The last issue of the Pets Training Paper showed us how to create new pets, this issue is all about how to train and build relationships with your pet.

Learned or Reinforced Behaviors
Start with the basics. There is no point trying to teach Prince to play dead if he isn’t even potty-trained. Teaching Sim pets acceptable behaviors is the first step in helping them get along with their Sim families. These behaviors include where to relieve their bladders, what foods to eat, and more.

After the long discussion in the EP 4 The Sims 2: Pets thread about what new creature would be introduced, we now have an answer!

It’s Werefish!

No, seriously. Its wolves. But most sims have a healthy fear of the strays that roam your neighborhood at night. But why?

We weren’t able to test this feature out ourselves, but supposedly a wolf bite could lead to an acute case of lycanthropy for your Sims. Yep: Werewolves! ~ Gamespy

Create the perfect model for the new Sims2Community banner!

Do you think that one of your Sims would be the perfect model? Are you just curious to see who from the community is entering their Sims? LyricLee is running a contest to pick a Sim to represent Sims2Community and be featured on our new banner. Applications are only being accepted until September 8th. Check out the contest here…

There’s rumor of another Sims 2 product that has a release date of Sept 29th 2006. So what is this release? Well, the Australian game store GameHead has this product with only a date and price listed - both The Sims Zone and Planet The Sims have articles linking to the product listing.

But is this just a rumor or a real release from EA/Maxis?

MaxoidMoonBelly had this to say:
“hello! It is a legitimate EA/Sims product, more information will be coming out soon.”

The full thread at the TheSims2 site can be read here.

Our LyricLee has kindly taken a whole bunch of in-game screenshots of the new clothes and objects from Glamour Life. Check out her pics here: http://forums.sims2community.com/showthread.php?t=24542
