in The Sims 2
TS2 was my favorite, but obviously we all have our dislikes.
I didn't like how people not in your household didn't age with you.
I'd be doing apartment life, and by the time I raised a sim from baby to elder, the kid next store would still be 10 ;-;

I play the whole Sims2 neighbourhoods day by day (or sometimes two days at a time) so all Sims age. Another advantage is that households are all interacting which makes friendships easier - best friends forever happens quicker too so relationships don't deteriorate so quickly.
The only thing I dislike is sending Teens off to college - I play one semester to one day in the neighbourhood - but it takes quite a long time for student Sims to graduate!
That's why they have CC!
The ability to age their friends came in an expansion- so, the only time their friends can't age with them is when they die.
I like having the same Townies because I know them, they're like Sim friends whenever I start the game I say "Hi." SP in TS3 took away my control of the whole neighborhood. XD
I also change change the townies clothes and hair to look different if I want the story to go that way. But I'm sure you didn't want to hear all that.
I have several mods for the little annoyances- like not being able to stop them making beds.
I don't like the Witches in the game. They we smashed in at the end- like TS4 GTW- and don't have enough from TS, which I really missed in TS2.
I don't like all the sandals the guys wear. It wasn't Ever popular where I lived.
A lot of the clothes were outdated by the time the game was released- imo.
LOL!! True Rflong, but then I was always afraid of running out of kids if I kept doing that
I believe the game would generate more kids for our School Sims when it randomly sends some home with our Sims- or they send neighborhood player Sims home on the bus. I usually have several houses of Sims so their family or next door neighbors would visit. Never ran out of kids or friends.
The game likes to send Vacation Sims home with the school Sims- that always annoyed me since they can't visit for a few hours. XD

It was okay at first when they had just moved into the neighborhood and had no friends...but my word, it got frustrating at times. For example, when you had four kids/teens go off to school in the morning and in the afternoon, they ALL brought friends home. Majorly overcrowded household and I remember their being big queues for the ONE bathroom in a tiny trailer house hahaha :')
The only thing I didn't like was the "Watch Out" interaction with drive-ways. Oh that drove me crazy. I tried mods to make it go away, but my game got messed up using it. So I had to get it out. But really, out of everything in ts2, that's the only thing and I have all ep's and sp and a ton of cc.
I still play it, it's my favorite.
That, and I wish there was a recolor tool like in Sims 3, sometimes.
To locate Body Shop - All Programmes/EA Games/The Sims2 Mansion & Gardens/The Sims2 Body Shop
If you do not have Mansion & Gardens Stuff Pack, use the latest expansion pack that you have.
This allows you to re-colour items/objects as well as creating custom Sims.
I use photos (scanned and copied!) and crop around clothing materials worn in the photos - you can do this with items in your own house such as bedding etc or magazines. You then place these cropped photos on the item or Sim for a new look and save.
Hope this helps?
Good luck with your game!
I find witches lag my game when they enter a Community Lot.
I couldn't resist posting this pic taken with Angela Pleasant (adult) at H&M Pleasantview when not only one witch arrived on the scene but two and proceeded to fight!
How is her relationship with her sister ??
I tried my hardest when Angela and Lilith were attending Sim State University to become friends; but anytime left to their own devices or if I was playing other students and they turned up on a Community Lot (and were unplayable) - the fighting began again!
It wasn't until they became adults and had families of their own that ceasing to be enemies occurred.
Yes, they can and in Uni Community lots.
True that's right lol I actually used the library in uni
