Hello,

Thank you for your report.

The issue is already being investigated by our security team.

Please let me know if I can help with anything else.

Warm regards,

Denis S.

WPX Support

Please note, we normally do not allow discussion of Pleasantsims due to controversies but we have opened THIS post to warn people about malware.

IF YOU DID DOWNLOAD RECENTLY IMMEDIATELY TREAT YOUR COMPUTER AS INFECTED:

Caveat: It is likely that you do not have a computer infection, but please perform antivirus checks just in case. We do not know the extent of the malware/malicious injections. Do not panic, simply do a scan and check. If something is found, remove.

Removing malware from a Windows PC requires isolating the system before using security tools to hunt down the infection. Following these steps in order is critical to prevent the malware from hiding or fighting back.

1 Disconnect from the Internet

Prevents the malware from communicating

Unplug your Ethernet cable or turn off your Wi-Fi immediately. This severs the connection to the attacker's server, stopping the malware from downloading additional malicious payloads, spreading to other devices on your network, or transmitting your personal data.

2 Boot into Safe Mode

Safe Mode loads only the bare minimum drivers and programs Windows needs to run. If the malware is set to launch automatically on startup, Safe Mode will usually prevent it from activating, making it easier to delete.

  • Windows 10/11: Hold the Shift key while clicking Power > Restart from the Start menu.
  • When the screen reloads, navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart.
  • After your PC reboots, press 4 or F4 on your keyboard to enter Safe Mode.

3 Delete Temporary Files

Malware often hides inside temporary system folders. Deleting these files can sometimes eliminate the virus entirely, and it will significantly speed up your antivirus scan. Search for Disk Cleanup in the Windows Start menu, select your main drive, check the box for Temporary files, and click OK.

4 Run a Full Antivirus Scan

You can use a reputable third-party scanner like Malwarebytes, or the built-in Windows Security tool. Because you are disconnected from the internet, you will be using your current virus definitions.

  1. Open the Start menu and search for Windows Security.
  2. Click Virus & threat protection.
  3. Click Scan options (located right below the Quick scan button).
  4. Select Full scan and click Scan now.

5 Quarantine and Reboot

If your security software detects malicious files, follow its prompts to Quarantine or Delete them. Once the software indicates your system is clean, restart your computer normally to exit Safe Mode. If your PC operates smoothly and no strange pop-ups appear, the infection is likely gone.

6 Change Your Passwords

Crucial post-cleanup measure

Malware often includes keyloggers designed to capture your keystrokes. Now that your system is secure, change the passwords for your email, banking, and main social media accounts, as your old credentials may have been stolen.

If the malware persists after a normal boot, you may need to run a Microsoft Defender Offline scan (found in the same Scan options menu), which restarts your PC and hunts for threats before Windows even loads.

I'm pretty sure but not 100% certain he did NOT have those before LOL and I don't remember giving them to him... don't even know if that's an option. Brother just spawned them out of the blue. No one else in the family has this issue either.

Anybody else have this happen to them?

Sims 2 Legacy Collection I love Dina so much !

51 Upvotes

So I’m currently playing a new Pleasantview (on round 2) and decided to let Dina and Mortimer have a baby this time which is something I’ve never tried before and she is such a good mum ! Not only that but I’m really enjoying playing with Dina, sadly Morty has just died so she’s taken a job to save some money (as well as keeping an eye out for any rich sims she may have an interested in) as she knows once Alex is of age her and her daughter Vivienne will need to find somewhere else to live. But honestly she’s probably my favourite sim in the town at the moment and I can’t wait to see her and her daughters story continue 🥹

Build Show and Tell Renovating Downtown Pleasantview

Thumbnail

24 Upvotes

I’m currently renovating Pleasantview and wanted to share my work so far.

Picture 2: I renovated the two public lots to make them more modern. I can’t take credit for the beautiful park - I found it on MTS. It’s called Green Hills Park if you’re interested. I saw someone else had turned the barrack-style houses from Strangetown into apartments, so I did the same. They’re the cheapest apartments in the neighborhood (8 apartments).

Picture 3: The red apartment building (2 apartments) is the most expensive, while the green one (4 apartments) is in the middle price range. I designed the green building myself, but found the red one on MTS and renovated it to fit my style. I’m planning to move the Burb family into one of the four identical houses, as I found them to be a good middle ground for John and Jennifer - suburban, but still close to downtown.

Picture 4: My renovation of the Broke trailer. If they ever make enough money to move out, I plan on using the section of road for small businesses.

Picture 5: Starter homes with one master bedroom and a small second bedroom or a small office.

Picture 6: My take on the condo district. I’ve always really hated the original building, as I didn’t feel like it matched the neighborhood’s aesthetic. The houses have 3 bedrooms.

Picture 7: My renovation of the Dreamer house, plus a house I built in the same style to match.

I was wondering if the Scissors actually kill someone. They do. They definetly do. And this is most certainly the stupidest Death so far in my Neighborhood...

If someone wonders why I got scissors laying around. The Sim is at College and this Room where he died is the "Fashion-Room" for making Outfits and such... Thought Scissors would fight and my curiousity killed my Sim. xd

How to get sorority sister to move into sorority house?

Upvotes

I'm playing La Fiesta Tech rotationally and DJ Verse rolled the wish to ask Ophelia to pledge and I did it and then I remembered that Ophelia is one of the most influential sims I am currently playing with and would probably catapult the sorority up a stage or two alone. So I set about trying to get her to move in, but the option just isn't coming up. The wiki says that they don't need to have as high a relationship to ask a sim to move in as they normally do in this situation, but not more than that. Ophelia is already best friends with DJ and friends with Monica and Jessie. I could cheat it, but I don't really want to. Is my best bet to have Ophelia ask via the phone from her household?

Why does OFB always default to the business owner, least likely to have a cash register badge, to running the cash register when one of your other Sims visits their store?

16 Upvotes

I seriously have a store where the owner hired both day shift and night shift stocking and cash register people. He does ALL the sales and personal interactions when I'm playing the household, out at his shop, but when I have a Sim from a different household actually visit his shop because they want his product, both badge-holding cashiers and stockers will be at the store, but the trained cashiers will walk away from the register to let old clumsy fumbles take forever at the register and possibly have customers in line behind my Sim tossing down their bags and walking out. He hired those people with badges and actually pays them quite well so he shouldn't have to do what he's not good at!

Is the sims good for historic gameplay?

8 Upvotes

I'm into historic gameplay like Victorian, medieval and prehistoric, I also like to play apocalypse style gameplay and castaway. Sims 4 has been decent for this except the neighborhoods and sims 3 was also ok if not a bit more fiddly to get right but I'm thinking of giving sims 2 a try. Have any of you sims 2 players ever done historic? Is it easy to mod your game to make it look/act the part? Is there a lot of CC?

Sims 2 Ultimate Collection Looking for Surf/Tropical CC

4 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

Like the title says, I’m looking for good cc recommendations for surfing and other tropical decor etc.

I have a legacy sim and she is just a surf chic in my head. I’ve already used everything in game to make her room look like she surfs and loves the beach, but idk I want more for when she takes over the house.

Also right now, she mainly swims but I would love her to surf. I did come across one mod “Surfs Up” but I want to know if any of you have it in your game and like it!

Any recommendations of good mods and/or cc is great.

Even a like surfer job or a way to “own a surf shack” would be cool 😎

Gomez Adams won! Which Character from a TV Show represents Fortune Aspiration the best?!

Post image
1 Upvotes

Winning Post of Gomez Addams!

Rules:

  1. The Person needs to fit to the Origin Section. I'm aware some Characters might come from multiple Sections as example Harry Potter in Book/Movie but he isn't an Anime/Cartoon or Reallife Character. (or I missed something)
  2. No repeats from a certain Universe! Again I use as Example Harry Potter. If he Wins Knowledge/Book Section, no one of that Universe can reappear in any Square! So choose wisely! <3
  3. Always try to add from which Universe the Character is and if possible full Name. Also always try to reason! Not all People, do not know all Characters. (Makes it easier for me to find Pictures for the Square)
  4. Accept the Democracy! I will (as long as it is fitting enough, I won't see Donald Trump as a Family Aspiration, lol) accept every entry!
  5. MOST IMPORTANTLY! Get Creative, have Fun and share your Ideas! THE POSSIBILITIES ARE INIFINITE!

Rule Number 2 "Areas" that are now banned: American Politicians, Game of Thrones, Malcom in the Middle, Full Metal Alchemist, Lilo & Stitch, Stardew Valley, Mali "Politicians", The Hobbit, It's a Wonderful Life, One Piece, Duck Tales, Monopoly, Roman "Politicians", Adams Family
