It's Raining Cats & Dogs--Almost!

Hello everyone! Pets is only a day away for some people, and 3 away for others, but either way, the news keeps on coming! There's a lot to share, so let's get moving quickly!

There's a new Senior Producer on the Sims 2 team, and he introduces himself and gives a bit of information about future downloads at the official site in his blog, be sure to check it out! MaxoidMoonBelly has updated her blog as well.

There are some new screen shots at the official site, as well as a new video featuring Hilary Duff and her dog on the videos page. Also available are three songs from the expansion by the Pussycat Dolls, the Flaming Lips, and Aly and AJ. There is also a new Pets Minigame available as well.

*Spoiler Warning* - Those not wanting to have their game experience spoiled will want to skip down.

Now that the game has been released in some places, there are some reviews and other information out about it. First off, GameDaily has released a review of the game.

Included inside the game is a flyer for the next expansion pack that will come after pets. According to the translation, it'll be �The Sims 2: In Season.� You can see it at Gamesection.dk, and you can talk about it in this thread in our forums.

Finally, since some people got their copies of the guide already, there have been spoilers posted all over the BBS and other places. We've gathered up a lot of them and reposted them in our forums (with links to the original threads of course!) for you to all check out if you want to know things ahead of time. Many thanks to all those who posted the original spoilers at the official site's BBS.

End of spoilers.

In other, non-pets news, the fansite SimFantastic2 released another pack of themed objects for us! You can get their new Halloween Pack at the SimFantastic2 site. Be sure to also check out the stuff from their Summer Life and Easter packs as well.

That's all for now, stay tuned for more information as it becomes available!
