  • @Rflong7 - Yes, I have several old save games in the EA Games folder. I use one just for testing new mods. Another is medieval and has only medieval CC. The one I am currently playing is Victorian. Another is modern. The folder with the TM was actually generated by Clean Installer, I think, when I downloaded some houses.…
  • @JULES1111 - Yes, I opened RegEdit yesterday and could find no folders with the TM still in the title. But I have one in my EAGames save folder. Oh, wait! I just opened RegEdit again. I didn't look far enough! Yesterday I just saw two folders in EA GAMES: The Sims 2 and The Sims 2 Fun with Pets. I guess I didn't look…
  • It's on the wayback site. Here's the addy for that object: https://web.archive.org/web/20160305153308/http://simwardrobe.com/
  • @SPARKY1922 _ Did you ever get the CEP packages properly installed? I checked mine and found I had only installed the two for My Documents. So I installed the two for Program Files and started the game with no problems. After deleting the two cache files. I'm doing that every time I make any changes at all in the game now.
  • I went to the Origin website and clicked on EA Help. I filled out the various forms until I got a choice of what type of connection I wanted. I tried Live Chat once but got cut off. After that I chose phone call. They called me back within a minute or two. I talked to more than one over the next couple of days trying to…
  • When are you getting this error message? When you try to start the game? Does it make any attempt to load? Have you tried deleting the two cache files in My Documents/TheSims2 Ultimate Collection?
  • Most of my families have lots of kids too and yes, I use a cheat. Lotfullofsims from ModTheSims I used for many years. Just recently downloaded Unlimited Sims by Boiling Oil at Simbology. You have to decide for yourself how many sims on a lot your machine can handle but there is no game reason for the limit other than to…
  • I don't think I have anything in my downloads folder that is NEWER than 2010. I haven't been in all the houses yet but so far all my sims have the right hairs and clothing and their furniture is not flashing blue. I did add CEP to my folder, the same way that I had it before. But now that I think about it I'm not sure I…
  • I've played TS2 since 2004. I have over 2000 files of skin, hair and eyes from all over the web. I have over 900Mb of clothes. Lots of my CC I've gotten from MTS2. Of course lots of what I have you might feel was very outdated. My sims currently live in the late 1950s and pretty much dress appropriately. If I can keep the…
  • No, I wasn't. face-palm I was in the regular hood, just checking out what was in the lot catalog. I was thinking about going to the Uni hood and putting the empty dorms back in the bin but didn't get around to it. There was one regular lot that was also missing, one called Alluring Tuscany that I think I downloaded from…
  • Are you talking about just installing it or downloading it? Took me 3 days to download but only minutes to install it.
  • What I like the best about TS2 is the ability to rotate from one family to another and have them all be on the same day. If it's Fri at the Jones's, it will be Fri at the Marlowes and Fri at the Smiths, etc. When I rotate back around to the Jones's it will be Saturday there, no time will have been lost. I always know when…
  • I distinctly remember having male sims abducted by aliens and coming back pregnant. So why would it be forbidden to talk about it? Original post specifically says adult.
  • Would take a loooong time to hit that max. I've played one legacy multi-family for 7 real life years, 85 game years and only have 1299 sims in the hood. (4 sub hoods) No townies though. Only playable sims and the service sims.
  • In my opionion Ultimate Collection does not work any better than the disks do and maybe not as well. It's redeeming feature is that you can still reinstall the game if one of your disks gets damaged which is what happened to me. But the entire package is a 10 Gb download and took me 3 days the first time and 4 the second.…
  • I just recently downloaded TS2UC and was able to play only a couple of hours on 2 consecutive day. Third day it refused to load at all. I watched it on Task Manager and it would begin to load and then the process would disappear. I contacted EA Help and after talking with a number of different techs I found a fix on the…
  • @cleo00 - Will the teens be going to Uni? How would it work for you to use NRaas Traveler to have them move to other towns after they graduate. They could visit Mom and Dad once in a while and the parents could visit them in their new towns.
  • I have played TS2 and TS3 on the same machine with Windows 7 32 bit and an NVidia card, I believe it was 9800. Had no graphics problems in either game. Never heard of the graphics rule maker till today.
  • I haven't been able to play my TS2 game for over a year. I replaced some of my computer hardware, including motherboard and when I was ready to install my game, it wouldn't. Got error message that there was a corrupted file on disc 1. So I've played TS3 and TS4 since then, but really missing TS2. Found this thread today…
  • I have my female sims get a job, then get pregnant. They get maternity leave, then 3 days leave after the baby is born. Before that time is up they get pregnant again and another maternity leave. All this time they are getting paid without ever having to go to work. They make enough for groceries, etc. while hubby is…
  • The dog appears to be enjoying himself so far. Fun bar keeps going up. I noticed him heading for the backyard right after I got the pool built. He had the 'check out new object' icon in his queue. Didn't think anything of it till I saw how he was checking it out. He does look soo cute paddling around. Oh, yeah, his only…
  • I always assign beds to all my sims and normally they always get in their own bed except when they want a story. In one household the older sister offered to read to the kid then walked upstairs to the kids room and waited, tapping her foot. The kid stayed downstairs and got into a double bed.
  • I too have been playing since TS1 first came out. I 'aged' sims in TS1 though never had any die of old age. I did age up kids by sending them off to boarding school when they were old enough to become teens, then recreate them later as adults with same names and personality and move them back in. With TS2 my longest…
  • I'm playing my Wolff family today. This is the one that has been spreading it back and forth between them. I got Thornton the Simmunity reward right after deleting his moodlet. Also deleted the moodlet from the eldest son who just returned from Uni. I think he brought the germs in with him. Just now Mom got the germs and I…
  • @TadOlsen - perhaps that is my problem. Most of my games are still in the summer season. I think I have one that has progressed to fall and I hate it. Their garden died. (Went dormant, same thing.) So I changed it back to summer. I don't have a very good graphic card so turned off all the weather effects (rain, hail, etc)…
  • @StarlingGray I couldn't find a fortune-teller rabbithole in buydebug. Where would it be hidden? I turned on the filter for Supernatural and found nothing that could be it. @EniracY - I have saved the 🐸🐸🐸🐸 wagon park. Will try placing it in Sunset Valley next time I play.
  • This evening one of my toddlers got stuck getting off the potty. There he sat, his face in the potty. I turned on move objects, went into buy mode, picked him up and moved him to the middle of the room. From there he was able to move around. This works for me about half the time when one of them gets stuck. If it doesn't I…
  • I used it for a while. The pictures were attractive and interesting even though they were obviously advertising. Like @Rock'nLlama I didn't realize it was interactive for quite a while but enjoyed it anyway. I finally got tired of the frequent lag after clicking on something even though it says up front that the 'game' may…
  • So glad to hear about this. Have just downloaded it. [quote="BlackSand;13360419 it doesn't take 4 hours to shower, eat some yogurt, chat with friends on the phone, play video games and then go to school in the game. .[/quote] I suspect it would take pretty close to that. I know it takes my sim father an hour to use the…
  • @tayorous - I don't want to kill them, I just want to move them. The household is too unwieldy with 19 characters. Doesn't work as well in TS3 as it did in TS2. These sims drop stuff from their queues and take off in totally different directions than I want them to go. TS2 sims were more obedient. But I still want all the…
