CTIN 489 Field Trip to EA Redwood City a success
The class spent two days working with Maxis designers and engineers making original Sims 2 Objects. Both the students and the Maxis folks had a lot of fun. The class learned a tremendous amount about designing for the Sims and about how EA teams work.

Our assignment was to break into groups and create new ways for the Sims to die. This group created a large plasma screen which, when one sat too close for too long, began to radiate the Sim, cause her head to twitch, and then she burst into flames. It was hilarious! And, as you can see, the object engineers can't get enough of seeing those Sims burn.

Our group designed "Death by Lawn Clutter!" If your Sims had too many Pink Flamingos, Gnomes, and News Papers on their front lawn the SARB (Sims Aesthetic Review Board) would put a curse on the property. This was quickly followed two plagues: Raining Fire and Swarms of Flies.
