CEP gives you much more options in terms of customizing objects, as it enables color settings for Maxis objects in the base game. If you prefer to focus on the sims themselves instead of building, Sim Blender is the ultimate tool for that. You can manually set or remove relationship flags. Forming relationships, making a family, and going through your sim life. Significant experiences makes the Sims series truly exciting.
This directly impacts romantic relationships as they are no longer possible for second cousins. Great grandparents now have the option to family kiss or encourage their great grandchildren as well. This one is aimed specifically towards teens and up, making their romantic relationships more interesting. Well if this is something you can relate to, you can probably already tell how this mod adds that sense of realism to your Sims experience.
You now have the option to decide if a relationship is not going anywhere serious, and to agree to just be friends. In line with that, you ever notice how that cinematic of sending a child off to college seems to always be a little… off? It makes that scene much more realistic as well. You can decide for yourself how many children you will give birth to, assign the odds for children, or keep it completely random. Fun stuff! The have and adopt a child mechanic also has its flaws as they are completely separated in the game.
With this quick fix, that will no longer be an issue as having a child satisfied the adoption want, and vice versa. The actual task of caring for each and every toddler can get quite tedious. You simply place the bowl on the floor, add some cereal, and voila. Your toddlers can eat on their own. Worse mods have been made. For all the pet-lovers out there, your pets can now choose to sleep on the foot of the bed while being used by a child.
Take note, though, that once the child becomes an adult this will no longer be possible. They can still sleep on an empty side of a double bed though. So if you like to keep your pets close check this one out. With thorough playtesting, each life stage has been increased to give the game a more realistic feel in terms of growing up. The base game included 10 options for job tracks. But with all the expansion packs you can find even more exclusive career tracks for the game.
The Job Seeking Noticeboard actually makes a lot of sense: it adds a job board posting in community lots. As stated by the modder himself, this is a great choice for poorer sims who just can shell out cash for a new fancy-schmancy Steve Jobs device. Among the available Lifetime Wants in the Sims 2, there were actually four college career paths that were added in the University expansion pack but later removed.
This mod brings those four Lifetime Wants back, as your sim may want to reach the top levels of the Artist, Natural Science, Paranormal, or Showbusiness careers. As some sims may aspire to raise multiple pets or become Mayor, your sim may prefer a career as an Ecological Guru, a Visionary in the world of arts, or even a Cult Leader.
Secondly, cockroaches in the Sims are nasty little pests that spawn when the environment is dirty. My question concerns the Sims2Pack Clean Installer. I used it to install mostly lots and some custom content. Is there any way I can transfer the lots I installed with the Clean Installer to an external hard drive and then to the new computer?
Or will I have to re-install all my lots? If I do, what will happen to the lots I used in the game? If anyone can help me I would be eternally grateful! I missed them! You may have to make an Electronic Arts folder first, but the game will still recognize it.
This is what I do when I upgrade my computer and it works great. No need to backup everything separately. Thank you so much for this amazing list!
I just bought the game and this is amazing to have. Exactly what it sounds like. I use this for when I have two teen Sims in a relationship and one of them ages up before the other one, but I still want them to keep their romance. Have looked into the mods listed but wonder if you could help with advice. Do you know of a similar way i can do this in the sims 2 at all? Well, you could use ACR autonomous casual romance to have no-strings attached woohoo. As long as they know each other a little, it should work!
I always look for Sims that have at least two bolts of chemistry to make things easier too. Hey cindy! Sorry for replying to your comment Max, I intended to leave a comment on the post but it somehow just replied to you ;;.
Is there any particular reason you retired them? Do they cause conflict with any other mods you use, or do they not work properly? Or was it just a personal preference to stop charging sims for rides? Thank you so much for your devotion and dedication to this game and to the sims 2 community!
Hi Cindy, thanks for this awesome list! I was wondering about the mod I assume you use that reduces the amount fortune Sims get when they have the Smart Investing aspiration benefit. Thanks in advance. The amount gained or lost is based on a variable percentage of the family funds. Since my Sims are usually broke, they get less money! Sims with more cash get more or lose more through investment. Oooh I did not know this!
But it makes sense now that you say it. I had some pretty well off Sims who were making absurd amounts of money from it, and then it glitched and awarded them money a few times in one day! Thanks for the reply! Thank you so much for all of the resources and content you provide — I have found it so helpful and inspiring for my game! Thanks so Much, Ro x. I use two mods for this — one for eye color and one for hair color. I use all the dominant files to make ALL colors dominant.
Is this a full fledged mod, or something you do manually? Save and remove the mod from your folder before playing again. Thank you awesome content and hard work!! Do you use any mod that makes the time pass while sims are on community lots?
This is the one thing that annoys me in Sims 2. Sorry if it is on the list, I might have missed it. Your blog and your videos have inspired me to go back to Sims 2 and create my first custom neighborhood! Cindy, help me please. Make a tutorial how to fix the Neighbor error for data access. I tried everything but anything worked. Sorry for the inconvenience but I just wanna somebody to help me. Thanks for this website and all you do.
Do you know if any key on the keyboard does this while moving the mouse? I read that you need the net framework 2. I looked for the. I only have basic knowledge about computers so I might just forget something really stupid ;. I have downloaded a lot of custom content from your mods list and it makes the game so much more fun.
But one of these mods has corrupted my sims pregnancies. When they try to give birth they get stuck in a never-ending circle of giving birth to nonexistent babies. I was wondering if you might have had the same troubles and maybe you know which mod is guilty of doing this. You are the queen of Sims 2 after all. I hope you are doing well.
I would start by removing all mods related to pregnancy and see if you still have the issue. Then, I would use the 50 percent method to narrow down the culprit. I recently started playing with ACR and was wondering how you can turn off pregnancy notifications, as I also got silent pregnancy and it just ruins the surprise. Is it possible? Hi Dani! ACR does not give pregnancy notifications.
That must be coming from some other mod. Are you using story progression? Thanks in advance for responding! Also, delete the groups. Then when you load the game all thumbnails should be reset.
Thank you for this list and your wonderful videos. As if Simbology. Do you know any other link I could try? Simbology was taken down unfortunately, but the link above under Essential Mods links to my Mediafire where I have uploaded the mod!
Hi Cindy, thank you so much for this comprehensive list! Also, you can check in Sim PE to see where they are coming from and even delete them if you feel comfortable with it. I first want to say that I really enjoy watching your content on Youtube. Thanks to you, I see the many possibilities the sims 2 has. Until now I already play sims 2 since I was 10 years old, now 23 years old I only played without mods and cc. But after watching your tutorial, it seemed not to be too difficult to install it so I want to give it a try.
I have been playing the sims 2 now for 4 years on my laptop, but never checked on corruption with the HoodChekcer which I just recently discovered existed via your video. Do you think it is still worth it to keep playing in my neighborhood I have been playing for 4 years if I start to check for corruption from now on?
At one hand, it would be hard for me to say goodbye to my sims. From what I can remember, I never did these major things that could cause your game to break removing families from the library, removing gravestones, making NPCs playable…. The only thing I might have done is maybe place a house in the library in which sims had lived in.
Thank you already! Thank you so much for the recommendations—they really help keep the game alive and enjoyable. I just checked and they work fine for me! The file does have to be unzipped. I have a quick question, when you install the Alternate Pregnancy Controller Lite mod by Midgethetree, which item do I have to get in buy mode to edit the miscarriage percentages?
There is no item you can buy for this mod. If you want to reduce the chance, you will need to open the package file in Sim PE and edit it there. Hello Cindy, I just wanted to say a huge thank you for creating this fantastic mods list that has really helped me to get back into Sims 2.
I just have a small problem with a default skin I have downloaded, which has caused the censor to disappear, leaving me with nude sims. Is there any way to fix this? Thanks again. A skin should not be able to do that alone.
I would check and see if it included a separate mod to remove the censor. Then you can just take that mod out. I noticed in some of your videos that when you mouse over lots it says their file locations. I always have it enabled in my user startup file. Set to true to display the file location when you hover over the lot. I love and admire you so much!!
I have scoured the internet looking for such a mod and I can't seem to find it. If it isn't too much of a hassle could you pretty please point me in the right direction.
Hello Cindy! For example, I have a single sim that leaves to go to a community lot or go downtown for about 10 hours. They return home, but since they are the only sim I have to sit and wait 10 hours for them to come back. In your streams, it seems like the time on the home lot just syncs up with the time you left the community lot without having to sit and wait. Are you using a different mod to sync the times?
Perhaps the waiting is edited out? It syncs time immediately since the rest of the neighborhood is going at the same time. I recently played with the SP mod for like 7hrs straight and once some sims started dying my game crashed. Love your content! Hi, sorry! Hi Cindy. First of all, I want you to know that you are incredible and for me your page is a better reference even than Wikipedia.
Please never go away. Is it some kind of mod or an option that is activated in SimPE? I wish I could have it too. Huge hugs and kisses! It is a cheat. I have it activated in my user startup file so it is always active, but you can also just type it into the cheat console. Thank you very much for answer me. I put it on right now! I really admire you, as another PCOS user, you are brave and cool. And I love your real hair!! Thank you so much for this guide.
Or can I just download them like normal keep them with Clean Installer and keep them in sub-folders like in TS3? Hi Cindy, I absolutely love watching your Sims 2 streams. Is there anyplace that I might be able to find them? Please help me with how to use sims 2 clean installer on normal package files. Do you happen to know of any alternate links? I brand new to modding the sims 2.
Been modding the sims 4 for years since it is unplayable with out them lol. Thank you for your help! I tried playing the game a few times now, but it either crashes or given me a game override error if I install any mods. Any advice? And also, if I manage to buy the UC disks, will they install properly on my computer Windows 10?
Do you still use it? I would love to get it, because I hate my sims getting random money amounts just because they move out on their own. Thank you so much for your awesome content and your help! Now the computer is working fine and my sims are no longer resetting. Try it, it might help. Hi Cindy, I have recently been watching your Sims 2 videos, especially your mods videos. While watching i noticed your camera is different to the original Sims 2 camera, is there a mod you are using for this?
If so can you please tell me what it is? I have been looking for it for a while now. I have the Ultimate Collection, can you tell me? Virtual Hugs from Brazil! Hi Cindy I hope you are doing well? My game kept on crashing so I did a deep clean deleted everything and then reinstalled the game and now busy with your amazing list of mods.
Thank you for your time. I really do appreciate it. Please install an app or, if one is already installed, create an association in the Default Apps Setting page.
Super confused. You need a file extraction program like 7zip or Winrar. Please could you let us know how you do it? Ex: weird squiggly lines come up while my sim is on a computer. I only have 1 cc item which is the FFS lot debugger. Do I need to uninstall my game and packs and download the patches? Love your channel and blog! Currently going through a marathon Sims 2 setup ha. I noticed you have a few anti-corruption mods. But, I was doing some googling and noticed a bigger list here with more fixes too.
Do you recommend adding so many of these? I think my computer can handle it…. Should I just lower resolution or is there a way to scale the UI and make it bigger? I know Clean UI did some bigger fonts in places but like the catalog and sim bin for example are tiny at this resolution. This is the way the mod is designed. Adult sims created in CAS are assumed to be average high school graduates so will be limited to level 5.
If you use the batbox to give these sims college degrees, then they will get the level 10 limit just like other graduates.
If I create a Sim that I think should have a career above level five, I give them a college degree using the batbox. Changing their high school grades will not change their ceiling a grade of A, B, or C results in the same level five limit. The only thing that will change it is giving them a college degree. This mod allows Sims to work in ANY career up to level 5 without a degree.
You may have another mod conflicting with this one if your Sims cannot take certain jobs from the noticeboard. But I think you are right, it might not have something to do with this mod but another mod that, when operated in conjunction with this mod, causes this issue. For the day setter mod how do you use it? I am not sure how it would keep the ages in sync. It just allows you to change days. I use it when I move a Sim to a new house or move a family out. Because when you move a Sim to a new lot it is always Monday at AM.
But if you moved them out and it was actually Wednesday, you can use the day setter to change the day to Wednesday. I hate ghosts! I would never recommend deleting urns or graves in the Sims 2 even with the mod.
Hi Cindy, I am facing a problem and hope you can help. I have your recommended mod for part time and full time job for teens and limit promotion for uneducated sims. Now the problem I am facing is that if a teen take a part time job then after getting promotion, the teen reach to level 2 of full time career rather tha part time. Please help me if you can give any suggestions in it. Nopke has a lifespan mod which mirrors the changes you create via SimPE. Hi Cindy, Just wanted to ask a quick question about the sim blender, in your current play through of pleasantview the teleport menu seems to be organized very clearly between the households.
However, in my game, all the sims are in randomly named households, for example, ricky cormier is under the cormier household but so are alot of other townies. Is there any way that I can get it as organized as you have it? Hi Alex. She placed all townies in the same household. You might ask on the MTS forums if anyone knows. I just asked you about the batbox vase a little while ago because of the link not working.
It looks like its a simfileshare. You can just ignore that comment. THank you again! Hi, Cindy! Thank you for this detailed list. It brings to the correct page, but when you click the download link from that page it gives an error. Do you know if it is located anywhere else? Was wondering about the size of your download folder? Wondering about yours? Hi Taylor!
I have around 8Gb of CC right now. I used to have about 12Gb before I did a clean out a few months ago. Thank you so much! I know many have said it before, but really you deserve it! Since simwardrobe is no longer. Hi Charlotte! Link is for Sim File Share.
I think the old site is defunct. Could you please replace links for the SimBlender and anything else from Simbology so that others can access it? Thanks, Luke. Is Smarter Beds better than sleepinyourownbed? I use SmartBeds and occasionally have to reset bed ownership on custom beds if my Sim refuses to sleep.
If possible, could you let me know where you got it? I have never bred pets in my game, either, but watching you wrangle those cats into the doghouse to try for kittens has inspired me to try!
Hello, Cindy! Or if you're building a fantasy world in-game. When purchased, Sims could select the helmet and summon an ogre named Gunk. Parents can then sell their unwanted babies or toddlers to him, or just give them up if you're not interested in the money!
Other Sims could also purchase any children that had been sold. While most of these mods can no longer be found or were released over a decade ago, this mod is still used having been updated in !
A small quirk in The Sims 2 was the gnomes. There were cheap and many premade homes could with them already in the garden. The gnomes themselves weren't overly interesting, but if another Sim didn't like you, or if they were just a jerk, they would take your gnome and run away with it. Sometimes a Sim would leave the lot to retrieve the gnome—sometimes it was gone for good! If the gnome stealing gets irritating for you, you could download this giant creepy gnome.
No-one is running away with that, but it'll probably steal your soul in your sleep! The Sims has been criticized, rightly so, for its simplified portrayal of careers and real estate. In any of the games, it is much easier than in real life to find a job and work your way up. While a realistic portrayal of climbing the career ladder would make for a very boring game, this Monarchy Career Mod is just laughable. Your Sim becomes a Prince or Princess by applying for it like any other job and "work" their way up the career ladder.
This is done by making friends and building skills, rather than killing off your family. If you want royal Sims, try playing The Sims Medieval instead! From an unrealistic career path to a far too realistic one! This career path allows Sims to pursue a career in the "Adult Entertainment" industry. Again, this job is found like any other, from having your Sim look at jobs on the computer or check out an ad in the local paper!
This career comes with chance cards. One example involves your Sim deciding whether or no to do a scene with another Sim of the same gender. This chance card comes regardless of your Sims' sexual orientation. It even appears as a recommended career when choosing your university major!
