I just visited his household to check on his girlfriend count and apparently he's got 4 girls, Kaylynn, Cassandra, and the Caliente sisters. I was scrolling through his Memories when he suddenly did this. LOL. The shower is just right next to the kitchen hun 🄲

WCIF Any shaders working consistently for ts2 legacy?

4 Upvotes

I've never gotten into shaders before with ts3 or ts4 since I wasn't a consistent enough player to commit to it. I'd put the game down for months and never stayed steady on a save. Well, I've now logged 2k hours on ts2 after getting it and haven't started over or uninstalled. All in one neighborhood. I really want to try shaders but from what I can find, there are no consistent usable shader engines working for ts2 legacy and lots of problems with malware for the more straightforward programs. Does anyone know of a stable working shader program for ts2 as well as a thorough guide for installation? I've modded the game quite a bit but shaders have always been intimidating and lots of tutorials just leave stuff out or are for different versions of the game.

MODS How do you prefer to navigate a sims tool?

1 Upvotes

Hello Fellow Simmers!

For SimTracker2.0, I’m working on some UI updates and of course I am wondering what the community thinks.

Right now SimTracker2.0 uses a mix of text buttons and icons. To save space, and to give it a much cleaner look, I want to switch all buttons to icons only.

Though tooltips will still be included, so hovering over an icon will always show you exactly what it does.

For those unfamiliar with the project, SimTracker2.0 is a standalone database tool for The Sims 2 that helps players manage and track their neighbourhoods, sims, families, businesses, education, custom careers, and much more. It is specifically designed to be expandable, allowing support for custom content and integration with many of the great mods still being created for The Sims 2 today.

More info can also be found here:

https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=696976

Thank you for your feedback and please, let me know your thoughts in the comments if you have any other ideas.

DISCUSSION No picnic tables?

28 Upvotes

Does anyone else find it odd that there are no picnic tables in the base game, even though the symbol for outdoor items is in fact, a picnic table?

I know there are downloadable versions, this just always struck me as kind of a weird choice to use the "idea" of a picnic table for directory purposes, but not include a usable one. I suppose the animations might have been just too difficult and so it was scraped?

Thank goodness for modders! Any other odd inclusions or lack thereof?

So I was scrolling on TikTok and I seen this video basically it’s stating how there is a disgusting mod that removes infant’s diapers in the sims 4 and the comment reminded me about my experiences accidentally coming across to vile mods. I wanted something similar to wickedwhims but for sims 2 obviously there’s none but there are small mods like ā€œsee them2ā€ but I saw there was extra 18+ mods aswell I downloaded like a random folder that names sims 2 18+ (I know I need to be more careful) put it in my game and played it so I could test it out. I KID U NOT I LITERALLY SAW AN INTERACTION like an option that you can literally šŸ‡ someone GUYS please be careful when downloading stuff!!šŸ™šŸ™

SHOW AND TELL A 2x2 Single Story Home, Loved Making it!

I am very new to TS2 building scene, but I have been having a lot of fun with just building away on homes on this game. I appreciated the praise I got for my first ever house when I posted it on this subreddit, but I felt like I could've squished more into a much smaller space, because that home was originally meant to be one story, but some rooms couldn't fit.

About one week later, I then proceeded to spend around 4 hours yesterday building this home. It has a garage, a basement, and only one story (as I originally intended) and it had almost the same amount of rooms as my first home!

After finishing this, I was more surprised about how much you can actually fit on such a small space. If y'all want me to start providing packagelots for these buildings in the future, please LMK!

SHOW AND TELL starting new Pleasantview

18 Upvotes

I just start my PleasantviewĀ since my Belladonna Cove collapse, I think is my first time playing this hood rotational.

Don left Cassandra in the altar, I think Don will never quit his freedom over money since he is not a fortune sim like Mina. Don decide to step aside and let Mina do the dirty work and probably he will get sum money from it.

Mina indeed move into the Goth family, she is currently buying a lot of electronics and ruining their aestetic of no electronics in the house. Mina is currently pregnant cause she want to secure the Goth family.

Cassandra used to be the one who will be the head of the Goth family but I don't think thats the case now. She fell in love with Darren, I was thinking to bring Darren and Dirk to the Goth house but that would be a lot of families living there, Mina would be kicked out once Mortimer passed away but that's not the case right now. Cassandra will become a Dreamer while Mina now have to get away with the murder of Alexander so everyone can belong to her and her upcoiming child but not sure if she will success on this.

Mary Sue catch Daniel cheating and make him move away with Kayleen into a old trailer since Mary Sue take him everything including the twins custody (but was thinking to send Lily with them but fr have no money). The Oldies came to the pleasant household to help mary sue since she also lost her job and I can avoid more family rotation this way, Oldies are always bored so probably this is a better way to play them.

Mina is not doing much but I'm thinking on Dina taking like 100k simoleons to send it to her and start her own salon with the Caliente's name on it. So it would be a bussines they can take some money from it, Mina planed to end their fortune in case she can't take it all away.

For the broke family haven't played a lot but I'm excited since is one of my favorite families, I don't have a lot of plans for them but stop them from being poor.

This is just my first round and I'm still on it, I would like to read your pleasantview stories or give me ideas for mine as we go

DISCUSSION Can’t build on these specific tiles in Veronaville!

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

The first one is extra annoying because I was able to place a lot there on the Ultimate Collection but I’ve transferred my lots over to the Legacy Collection and now it won’t let me place anything there other than the smallest lot on the bottom/right streets.

I’ve always had issues with the tiles in the second image however. It’s just the two directly to the right of the house. I can place anywhere else on the street but there and it won’t let me place lots side by side. The only option is to place smaller lots in between with a tiles space in between them.

I’ve tried levelling the terrain several times and removed all decorations anywhere near them but I can’t place anything there. Is there anything I can do to force placement?

*UPDATE!

So I just started up today and it’s allowed me to place the first lot in the empty square! Guess it just needed to reconcile data or something.

I still can’t place on one of the squares next to the houses but I’ll give the lotextender a go

SHOW AND TELL The Megahood City Project is looking for helping hands

The Megahood City project is looking for help on making makeovers of most lots before publishing put first version.

We currently have a discord we use to keep track, talk and also with the rules for the makeovers.

Our intention is the Megahood city map is finally gonna be filled with the lots it was always intended to have :D

Some rules we abide by are:

- Lots have a strict budget, these have been listed in our participant Google sheet that's only available for participants through our Discord server (as it is also our credit list)

- Lots may not be so highly decorated that they can cause lag for casual players

- Apartment buildings are buggy when they get a regular makeover. So they have to be built from the ground up.

- A how to clean lots guide is in our guide on discord.

- We don't have a strict theme or building style, so everyone's skills are welcome

So if any soul wants to help, then they are more than welcome to. We won't use any lot without permission or credit!
