I once found out that if the last sim in a household dies, the Grim Reaper sticks around before the game over notification comes up. I've seen him float around the house and then go use the toilet.
A remaster of The Sims 2 would be lovely; some aspects I love from the Sims 3 and 4 is the option to choose a voice type for each sim, as well as a name randomizer, so I wouldn't have to look up names that I want to give to my sims. It would be great to see those aspects carry over to a theoretical remaster of The Sims 2.
I have a Pleasantview with Strangetown added on as a shopping district. As I finished off the intro of the Beaker household in Strangetown, Nervous Subject started grilling hot dogs outside when one of his housemates, Circe Beaker distracted him. He was about to tend to the hot dogs when the grill caught fire. Both Circe…
The longest I ever held onto a Pleasantview save file was more than 50 in-game sim days. My Pleasantview accumulated to about 23 households; I had to add some houses from the lot bin, because the other houses were occupied.
I don't think my game has ever crashed; but, the worst freezing I experienced happened when a sim of mine was due for an age up; she was over at a friends house and the camera panned over to her. Once she aged up, the entire screen froze, and although, I had control of my cursor, I had to do a hard shut down of the game.…
It depends on whether the sims roll a want to have a baby; I'm doing a wants based gameplay style which I got inspiration from playthroughs on YouTube.
I added Strangetown and Veronaville as shopping districts to Pleasantview; as, Veronaville is notoriously tiny with only three main families. I was shocked when Brandi Broke died in childbirth; despite her needs being in the green. With a mod called More Risky Grim Reaper; the rates to plead success goes from 90% to 50%;…
Zodiac signs are one feature I wish was added to the Sims 4; also NPCs such as burglars and the Social Worker. I always loved the idea of building my own neighborhood from scratch with my own story and families. Turn-ons and turn-offs are another Sims 2 exclusive thing which is lacking in The Sims 4. I always loved the…
Aspects of the Sims 3 and 4 I wish were in The Sims 2. Sims 3 Choosing a voice type for your sim in create-a-sim; also available in the Sims 4. Shoes being separate from bottoms and outfits. Name randomizer; sometimes, it's hard to come up with names and a name randomizer is a useful tool. Tweaking the amount of days for…
I love Pleasantview; despite the broken Maxis template with Brandi Broke being pregnant with her opposite gender clone; which is why I prefer clean templates that are available on the internet. With those, Skip is linked to his and Brandi's unborn third child; sometimes, it's still a boy; but, there's a chance that the…
The last time I played Pleasantview, I paired Brandi up with Darren Dreamer; the one daughter they had together was slightly lighter than Darren and had his dark blue eyes. This time, I'm planning on pairing her up with John Burb just to shake things up. Both are family sims and each of them have had adorable babies.
I like how when you adopt, you can choose the baby, toddler or child's gender in the vanilla game in the Sims 3. In the Sims 2 vanilla game, not only do you have to wait until the next day for you adopted sim, you only get to pick the age, not the gender. I always hated that.
I have had a few crash scares due to the lag in this game; the worst I ever experienced was when the game became unresponsive and I had to do a hard shut down by pressing ctrl+alt delete to terminate the application in my task manager. That was when I could only move my cursor, but, pressing a button didn't do anything.…
I usually keep the pairings the same; but, now, I may just make two single male sims in CAS; one for Angela and one for Lilith. I would like to carry on a different storyline and see where this goes.
