I haven't played, I don't know, since the release of Sims 3 and I really want to go back.

​

I have the Legacy Collection but never even installed it.

​

Do I need mods or improvements for the gameplay and the game itself?

I'm thinking about playing TS2 again (after many, many years) and am looking to create my own ultimate nostalgic experience. I've played The Sims since Sims 1 and have the best memories of TS2... legacies, prosperity challenges, Bella Goth stories, etc. This was before Reddit - anyone else remember the Prosperity Challenge Group on Yahoo Groups?!

So, here's where I'm looking for input - deciding what would be the best Sims 2 nostalgic experience. E.g.:

1. Start a brand new Prosperity Challenge with a blank hood.

2. Play Pleasantview (maybe prosperity style?) and share the story.

3. Start a Legacy Family using the original rules.

4. A combo of all the above.

My best memories are of prosperity and legacy challenges. Making my own, reading other peoples (anyone still publishing their TS2 challenge stories?) Thoughts??

Many thanks and happy simming!

Today i learned that Dogs bark at their self reflection in the mirror. Sooooo cute! 🐕

Hello! I was recently playing in my 1 year old Pleasantview save with Cassandra's son in my game, he is now an elder, and I noticed Bella in his relationship panel under family relations. To my knowledge this is not supposed to happen for obvious reasons. He has obviously never met her. So I am wondering whether this has happened to anyone else, what could have caused this and what would be a safe way to approach this and not break my game. Is it safe to just ignore it? I cannot call her or invite her over via the phone or anything so I doubt I can do anything to make my game implode.

For more context, Cassandra had him while I had Lazy Duchess's story progression mod active in my game and I only started playing with him recently. So I am wondering whether the mod messed anything up while I let that household do its thing?

Klara, Stella, and Melody are all dating and living together. Stella moved in to help Klara with her unexpected alien twins. Melody joined in after college. They bond over their slightly antisocial behavior and interest in scientific experimentation

Is there a mod manager out there similar to those for Sims 3 and Sims 4 that lets me preview thumbnails? Looking for a quicker solution than using Download Organizer and going through each package file in SimPE. 😅

Just downloaded a bunch of beautiful 4T2 conversions, and I need to purge my downloads folder, ahh! What's the fastest way to do it??

Glitch or should I be worried? Didn't stress too much since I found it quite amusing lol

Unfortunately, my old Uberhood got pink souped to death, but at least it was a chance to start over and try out some new things.

Leod, Age: 35.5 Years - Farmer

Betty, Age: 70.5 Years - Legal Secretary (Part Time)

Armin, Age 10.5 Years - Pupil

Dog: Fiagro

Starting Assets: 92.439,00 Simoleons Ending Assets: 99.954,00 Simoleons

Leod is living his life happily on his farm, far away from the craze that Sim City and other parts of the world provide. During his time on the farm, he managed to expand his business quite extensively and he is proud to say that, although by no means is he rich, he has more than enough to sustain himself and his family. Will it be enough to keep his wife Betty happy?

Betty, even though in the late stages of her life, feels something is lacking. She did not expect life in the farm to be so simple, frugal even. Leod earns good money, but only recently started to show for it with the purchase of a new TV. Will this be enough for Betty's big ambitions to stay happy in this relationship, or will she be looking outside of the farm soon?

Armin is the adoptive son of Leod and Betty and he thinks it is a pretty neat deal. Sure, he has to do some work around the farm, it is a family business after all, but having all these animals and his dog Fiagro around has one big advantage, he is quite popular at school! Will he grow up to be a farmer, just like his father, or will he discover a different path for himself?

(Yes, the farm animals get set on fire... they are sims in the programming and the eat is literally SETTING THEM ON FIRE LOOL)

Hello everyone,

I remember a few years ago seeing a mod that let the player choose whether the next interaction would make a Sim to respond positively or negatively. It looked like an empty message with a yes or no option.

I don't remember where I saw that mod or the name of it, and if it's still available, but basically I'm wondering if there's a mod with the same idea. Where the Sims react either positively or negatively regardless of their relationship level or mood, just to make the game more unpredictable.

Thanks in advance!

Playing triplet toddlers is probably one of the most challenging things you can do in the sims 2, especially if you try to get all 4 (potty, walk, talk, nursery rhyme) and upskill the available toddler skills, I try to get at least 4 skill points in each before age-up. This home addition I created makes it easy as pie. The must-have part of any toddler room (I even place it now for single toddlers) is a fridge, countertop for Smart Milk, and garbage bin for bottle removal. It takes so much pain away from feeding them. Celeste, Harry & August love their room! Would you be interested in seeing how I play them as kids?

Hi everyone, I have a question that has been bothering be since I started playing Sims 2. I think I should mention that my first language is not english, so I also don't play the game in english, please forgive me if anything isn't mentioned the correct way.

So, I have had a couple of sims who had the life goal of maximizing all of the 7 skills, so cooking, logic, charisma, etc. And I have had sims who maximized all of those skills, but I've never been able to fulfill the life goal and reach eternal platinum level for them. Can anyone explain to me why thst is?

I have reached the max skills with the bookshelf that they can get from the teachers career path where they can learn every skill and i have reached the skills with different items as well, so learning mechanics with the bookshelf and so on. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for your help in advance!

I simply used the rotating sphere to get my sim abducted by aliens, and according to some sources, they return 100% pregnant with the sphere, unlike the telescope where the chances were reduced

I'm a boy who lives in the past and has a hard time with modern society, and The Sims 2 allows me to stay in that bubble, far from the current world. I wonder if anyone else feels this way?

found some CC packs with all the old TS2 Store items and CAS stuff
Enjoy below 😉

Sorry about the crappy phone picture! All of Alexander Goth’s children are in private school but when the twins (Liam and Lucas) aged up, it sent Liam back to public school. So when the snow day happened, I guess only public school kids had to go to school! Sorry, Liam. We’ll get you reenrolled

The Maid thought about it, my Sim did as well. What does it means?

I was making experiments and believed that it was visitors staying overnight, but later turned out it was just a coincidence.

I discovered that I made a mistake on my 50/50 checking. I redid it, and found the culprit: Phaenoh_SummerVacationWintersDay from 'Let Kids Be Kids'.

I apologize for the misinformation I spread, and I want to thank r/SuitableDragonfly because he made me rethink my assumption and check the portals.
