  • Funnily enough my ranking is the order the Sim Franchise was released. : I can't believe I have playing for 16 years. Wow!
  • In a recent game, I decided to resurrect Skip Broke as Brandi is pregnant when the game starts plus there is toddler Beau and Dustin who need their dad. :) As I was playing about with the game, I also resurrected Michael Batchelor and Bella Goth. This really changed the dynamics of the neighbourhood. :)
  • My favourite is Pleasantview with Strangetown a very close second. :) It's not that I dislike Veronaville, it is just that I like my Sims to go downtown and I can't really do that without some fight breaking out. :D At the moment I have just tried merging Pleasantview and Strangetown (downtown district) and am really…
  • I generally place the H&M Pleasantview store on that street and call it High Street. :)
  • Hello LaBlue0314, When you changed to full screen mode, did you do this by right clicking on the Mansion and Gardens Icon on your desktop and removing "-w" at the end of the target line? Other causes for what I call the Blue Screen of Death when playing the Sims2 is this game does not like having any other programmes e.g.…
  • Just to report that I am still unable to place any of the cushions on a chair or sofa, so back to looking for a solution on-line... :( If anyone can help, it would be much appreciated. :) Update: 9.35 - I have now uploaded other cushions that work. :)
  • Thank you and for the link to other cheats - especially snapobjectstogrid - it is great to be able to centre coffee tables to 3 Seater sofas. :) I hope I am successful with the quarter tile placement - can't wait to modernise my neighbourhoods! :)
  • Thanks for your reply. :) There is no note from the Industrial Set creator (mustluvcatz) and on checking another creator (Mystic Rain) made the cushions that were used. There is a mention of using a "quarter tile cheat" but not specifically for the cushions. Have you ever used this cheat or know of this cheat?
  • Hello ShuffleJ, The moodlet is "beautiful vista" due to the lot's location and a vista score was added when the lot was being created. Most beautiful vista lots overlook beaches e.g. Sunset Valley. I have also noticed the beautiful vista is generally given to small and large parks. It may well be that it is a beautiful lot…
  • I have an odd glitch too with The Sims. :( I recently re-installed the Sims and started playing - everything good so far! (Running game as administrator and without the Windows Update KB3086255). Then after re-zoning a lot and building and completing a community lot, when I went back to play the families in the…
  • @Rflong7 Thank you so much for your help :) I love the look of this snow and the lot - I don't mind if it is not there permanently but just most of the time. :)
  • @chojrak Thank you for the reply but unfortunately the texture link although displays snow there is no download in any of the packs - only the frozen pond. With regard to the falling snow using the fog emitter; it is a video but with no explanation to how it was achieved and clicking on the link to the creator and then…
  • @charlotteprice Thank you for this - I think I was clicking on Sims3 so could only see expansion/stuff packs. :)
  • Ho! Ho! @Seera1024 I beg to differ; nor find your perceived cleverness to extend to be astute enough to realise your actions are undermining the player's decision making - perhaps you are aware of something I am not? ;)
  • It depends on his Lifetime Want so sometimes Don is a Slacker but since I discovered his favourite hobby is either fitness or sport, I prefer if it is the Athletic Career Track where he can befriend Daniel Pleasant and have the fun of trying to keep Kaylynn from being discovered as their communal love interest. :)
  • My dear @Seera1024 You do know that I am a Sim player and a woman that resides in the free world - right? As a member of the forum, I added a comment that appears to have burst your inflated ego for some unknown reason and now this elongated reply? Why do you think your advice is better than anyone else? I could try to…
  • This was the case for me too when it happened back in 2008 after installing Freetime - it could not handle it. :( I invested in a new laptop and had the 'older' one repaired and discovered it was a faulty memory caused by draining too much of the memory playing Sims2. New and more RAM was installed but after that I only…
  • My dear @Seera1024 With all due respect I do have knowledge of the Blue Screen of Death. In the main, it is due to the specs of the computer not being satisfactory to play the programme/software. By all means, do computer maintenance to ensure your computer is running in tip top condition; however that being written and…
  • @sweetiebabe05 The more you fulfil their wants and try not to realise their fears, will determine how long they will live. As you are playing with the full game, every seven days a Sim is notified how their life is going on - from so, so to amazing! Also at birthdays try to have your Sim grow up well by having Platinum or…
  • Thanks for that - I've never thought about having Alexander join Cassandra when she marries Darren. :) This would mean any other off spring would inherit the house whether it would be the children of Mortimer and Dina or in my current game, Mortimer and Nina - usually they end up moving into other accommodation once they…
  • Very eco friendly - are you planning for the family to become Plant Sims? You mentioning 'a little shack in the woods', reminds me that despite playing Pleasantview for about four years, I hadn't noticed the little house on the far right of Main Street in Pleasantview. :(
  • @ZeeGee Unlike Sims3 and Sims4 which actively encourages a player to be on-line whilst playing, The Sims and Sims2 is intended to be played off-line with no other background programmes running especially anti-virus - that is what is recommended with the EA booklets that comes with the games.
  • Hello @sweetiebabe05 I play all the Sims series too and can appreciate the different control settings for the camera. :) In The Sims2, when you visit Community Lots it can be a 'top down' view unless you had previously visited, updated the lot and saved. Holding the Control, Shift and the right button on your mouse will…
  • It is always a bonus if the Sim you love has money! :) In most of my games, Cassandra ends up marrying either Don or Darren and moves to another lot. I usually keep Mortimer alive with the elixir of life until Alexander returns from college. When Mortimer pops his clogs, Cassandra does inherit but ultimately Alexander has…
  • Sims with funds of 50,000 simeons are classed as rich Sims. Don is quite close to having this amount when the game begins - also "down townies" Mr Big and the Diva are also rich Sims. Cassandra receives 10% of the Goth funds if she marries on another lot which is usually over $50,000 making her a rich sim too. If Don's…
  • I was looking through some old back ups of my game in search of a neighbourhood I made with Sims3 homes and characters and I came across a legacy neighbourhood with Mortimer and Bella Goth and their three children. I remember I stopped playing as I did not like the layout of the home and how it was evolving. :( Anyway to…
  • I played a game where my Sim married a lone parent with a teen. I did have the option or the teen to move in too but declined so the teen remained in their own lot. I don't know if it makes a difference but the teen did have an after school job? There was also funds remaining as a Sim moving out only receives 10% of…
  • Yesterday I was playing a Sims2 family and after 7pm, I heard owls hooting - perhaps if I had Pets installed I might hear other noises too e.g. wolves?
  • Hello @nessatay1920 Is it the default clothes for the toddler that you don't like? Whether it is the everyday, formal or winter outfit for toddlers (or all of them!), a parent or teen can buy toddler clothes at the shops that sell clothes. Then use the option to "plan outfit" with the diaper changing station as @Finbar659…
  • It might be some file has become corrupt; if I were you I would move the folder Electronic Arts/The Sims Life Stories to another location on your computer and generate a new file. I appreciate you would have to redo chapters 1&2 but well worth it to play on and unlock Vincent' Story too. :) I think this is Chapter 3:- "The…
