I've been in the process (when time allowed) of rebuilding Collinwood on a normal lot. I had the family on a beach lot which is proper for that house, but I got tired of everyone going to watch the waves, or sand castles etc. I was just about done with decorating the new house when I realized I have added so much stuff to the new lot, and so many walls and objects etc. I can hardly scroll it. ROFL...I guess I need to remove some stuff so I can add eight Sims to the lot because if I add them to it as it stands now, I won't be able to play it. lol

Thank you @JULES1111 I am happy you like my interiors.
I know everybody is vanilla game here but myself I simply can't be vanilla. I simply adore decorating with cc with this game when I got the feeling to do !
@Surreal Nice! Sounds like you have a good game started.
@Cinebar Holy cow! I have had a lot full of stuff before (clutter-aholic) I have never had that issue! I can only imagine how much stuff you must have put on that lot!
@Simsophonique I agree, I love decorating CC. Especially clutter and paintings!
Just a little while ago, Sandra gave birth to a baby girl named Alicia. Strangely, she wasn't able to tell if Alicia was tired or hungry or anything and so had to try feeding, putting in crib, etc. She found this very annoying. (Babies aren't selectable - don't show need bars? That isn't cool...)
If you have Free Time installed you can learn parenting from reading a book. It'll give you a new action to check on the baby, who'll get a thought bubble showing their most urgent need.
Babies are much easier than in Sims 1 though: just feed them regularly and play and cuddle with them is enough to make sure the only cries you'll hear are from dirty diapers.
Ah. Thank you - I had seen the book in the bookshelf but had no idea what it did.
I've spent some time building new lots, and I recreated the Oozma Kappa house from Monsters University lol. Only made the exterior for now. It would look much more accurate if I remake it in the Sims 4, but this result is also kinda cute.
Last weekend I remembered a forgotten college student Robby in my bin so got him moved into an extremely expensive but classy penthouse. I decided to create a spouse for him so Sabrina moved in. They spent just about all of their money furnishing their apartment. They do have expensive taste!
They quickly became a couple, got engaged and married.
Robby had a lifetime wish of being a Prestidigitator so he got a job in the entertainment industry. Sabrina had a secret desire to be a witch so she started hanging out at night clubs until she met the good witch. Eventually they became good friends and Sabrina is now studying the ways of the light in her secret room in the apartment!
I’m the meantime, they welcomed their first child Gordon into the family. It’s a good thing Robby is almost at the top of his career. They need the cash for that $6k a week rent!
I'm sitting here compressorizing my CC. Because I got past 7GB of content and the game started crashing. It was a long weekend of clearing out my unused downloads. Now I'm eager to play.
@JULES1111 I was highlighting a couple of folders above the EA Games folder in program files to delete, and the highlight box thing covered the EA Games folder, and I did not realise until I presses the permanently delete button. the Documents/EA Games Sims 2 folder was spared, so I grabbed my saves then deleted that too. I got some installing to do.
I would love a little help...
I just finished writing a terrible chapter 1 of an Apocalypse- way too long for Uni (130 some pictures but not much in the story category)- and would love to know if it works for others. I've never used Google presentation (I don't want to transfer them unless I have to).
Does it show... does it allow you to edit (it shouldn't)... is it presentable. Not going to ask if you like it or if you read it all or if it's too long (it is).
@Mstybl95 Really? It started crashing at 7 GB? That is crazy. I know of people that have 3x that amount.
I used to have way more than that, but since that Microsoft update for the video cards, it has been crashing nonstop! I finally whittled down my downloads to around 6.8 GB and it was working fine...then I went on a small downloading spree and it started crashing again. So around 7 GB is where it's at. Makes me so sad.

I can open and read the presentation. If I choose "open editor" I go into the editor in a "view-only" mode, meaning it seems like I can't edit it either. So it seems like it is working fine
Just played Sims 2 again after almost a month.
And I encountered Bigfoot for the first time! Now if I can get him to the point of moving him in... What if the Travellers become the "Addams family" of Veronaville? :3

Works fine Rflong! I read the whole thing, it wasn't that long! It had me laughing though, you are good at story telling!
@Mstybl95 Oh man that stinks. Lousy Windows. I don't normally have that much, I just hate scrolling through the catalog to find everything!
@M13Vulpecula Yay! Glad you got to meet Bigfoot! Hopefully you can get him to move in. That is something I have never managed to do yet.
Can't find the Sims 2 Legacy thread so I'm just gonna post here lol I am starting a new Legacy challenge and had a complete brain fart on the rules of townies marrying playable Uni students. I created a YA in Uni. and she developed a relationship with a YA male who started calling her within hours of her moving onto the lot (the blue 15 room, 2 floor custom dorm). Is he a Townie? He doesn't live on any of the dorms in the game. Do they have to be engaged before she leaves college? Is she allowed to marry him after she leaves college and moves into her house?
I found the answer to my question but now the problem I am having is that the Sim is not moving in with my founder while she's still in college. I found the Uni rules for the Challenge and they say Townies can move in after the Founder graduates. I wonder if this is happening because there's an update to the game I can't install for some reason and I am not losing my progress for one update. I will see what happens later today.

Yay, thanks. I locked a want for Tina Traveller to get him in. Too bad his full name is 'Dorian Bigfoot', doesn't really fit in with the T.T. theme. (ps. I play in Dutch, so they're named Reiziger in my game. Guess that makes a T.R. theme instead. Or I could rename them all)
As promised, here are the pictures:
No good closeups, but he's got the same face as Goopy Gilscarbo. Missing Link perhaps?
Little bit of context: I have a sim called Morgana who is an evil witch and she runs Gothier Green Lawns. The twist is that she charges around $1000 per hour for the 'privilege' of even just visiting. She lives in a redone House of Fallen Trees. Her children are almost ready to go to university and I'm deciding on what path in life they should take.

@Scribal_Goddess Sorry about your crashing. Hope you get it figured out.
