When Sims are playing Marco Polo in the Swimming pool if you listen closely they are saying Tim le and Tourneau for Tim LeTourneau the producer of The Sims 2
Also if your Sims' bladder is down and you don't let them leave the pool they will pee in the pool and the water turns blue where they are swimming.

I should listen closer- I never heard it.
Evil Kites can kill a Sim!
Pets can go on walks and hikes with Sims
I believe (if it's not a mod), stray and wolves that a Sim met can be invited to a party.
Also a little tip about wolves is I've heard (though not fully tested on my part but it has happened a couple times) that the more trees you have on your lot the more often wolves will visit.
Take your pets to parks, other Strays will show up. It's a great way to meet more potential pets.

My Worlds
I had many trees on my lot and every day, at least one wolf visited my household.
Really, Everyday? Because I did try this and it was not everyday. Define many? I had over 20... was that not enough?
The website I read that from said something about 2 dozen tree which would be 24 trees. It said the more trees the better. I don't know if this is true or not it's just a tip I read to make spawning a wolf easier. Also putting a bowl of food out. I have noticed on my lots with more trees I have seen wolves more often than on lots with fewer trees.
You can search google Sims 2 wolves and trees maybe you can find more info.
EDIT: Just found this "Base chance of wolf appearance is 2% per check, modified by the following:
+1% per 4 standard trees - NOT orchard trees/shrubberies/flowers/houseplants/gardenplants
+1% per 5 weeds
+1% per 2 sims of child age or less.
+5% per pet wolf"
I actually do know this. I don't remember the exact numbers.
Which is not everyday but a chance for more. I have read it. I've been playing this since the day it was released. I still remember the Spaghetti theory.
It supposed to increase but not necessarily everyday. As I said, I get enough wolves on Apocalypse lots without one tree.
And I remember reading that if there is a ghost wandering the lot there will not be a burglar nor an abduction.
You know there is one bunch of trees that look like a bunch of trees but are placed as one?
I've been playing the sims 2 since launch and I've never had a sim bitten by a werewolf! Not sure why!
Once at the Caliente home, the ghost of Michael Batchelor appeared on the first evening I played the Caliente girls and when the robbery took place, Michael duly frightened the burglar Amin Bear causing Amin to have "an accident" and fleeing the scene of the crime!
The burglar is scripted to happen at the Caliente house as long as they aren't moved out so to me anything with the premades isn't the same. imo

And this can be done with the base game, or you have to have an expansion pack? I have a CD that came with my game that says, "bonus content" but I haven't tried it yet. I also do have Sims 2 University, but again, haven't ever opened it and so haven't tried it, and therefore have no clue how it works, as I've never let my Sims grow up/get old because I have a tendency to get attached to my Sims and don't want them to die. Which is ironic since I would love to have a cemetery in the backyard, lol.
If I do crack open the University, how does it work? Because I am unable to run my base Sims 2 game without the CD, and I only have one CD slot for my OS. So if you have to have the University CD inserted to be able to play it, and you also need the Sims 2 CD in the slot, I'm in trouble.
Also the werewolves are included in the Pets expansion pack.
May I suggest you have a look at the Ultimate Collection. It isn't officially available anymore, but people have still been able to get it:

It's free and contains everything.
