This might hurt:

I guess it hurt to the other side of the grave!

This picture looks hot(in two ways):

Yeah, but your Sims will become unhappy, and get attrition in the form of a lowered bladder bar.

(after looking over the screenshots)
The game is looking really good. I'm woried about two things- one is the system requirements. I wonder what the minimun specs are for a huge game like that. The original sims seemed to convince a lot of people to buy new computers, maybe they're trying that again

The second is tha archetecture. I haven't seen what happens when you put a floor on a roof to create a patio, how many stories you can build (please, please be infinite with basements!!). There aren't any buildings showing how corners work with windows, angles, etc.

Hold your noses... :

It's interesting how the lady looks at what's happening on the other side of the table, and at the plate she's carrying. Still no daylight, corner, or landscape pics

[Adagio]

Yeah, great detail

Btw, there's some talk about the graphics here:

Sims: Gaseous eruptions beckons. Ooh look, he farted (chuckles). Aren't I naughty to find such a thing amusing? Can't wait till next Sunday, when more toiletary fun is guaranteed.

Pretty interesting read, but nothing on architecture there

[Adagio]

I hope we'll hear some more about that soon... otherwise I'm afraid there's not much news there, except for what we already know (We can build more than 2 floors)...

Btw, I found a couple trailers here:

http://www.gamespot.com/pc/strategy/thesims2/media.html

I have only downloaded one of them... You need to be registered (Which you can do for free), to be able to download the files...

[Adagio]

I've now downloaded both trailers, and the second one is pretty funny, though I doubt we'll see anything, about what The Sims do in that video, in The Sims 2...




But you've got the rights to hope, right?

I just found a screenshot with outdoor view... a take a look at the door by the pool










EDIT:

Here's a link to more screenshots, though some in low quality

If I didn't know you better, I would say that post was laden with sarcasm.

Interesting that they have indirect interactions now though. The lady serving food notices things going on around her without (presumably) the player clicking "notice dirty old man" in her action menu. Promising.
