Shameless plug to my YouTube channel heh. Because I do plan on posting on there soon, and I have a let’s play series based on my Build a City Challenge neighborhood ☆*:.｡. o(≧▽≦)o .｡.:*☆
Welcome to my Channel! My name is Ayame, a goth alien gal from outer space who loves video games and art! I'm a variety gamer, but The Sims
Playthrough of my Build A City Challenge neighborhood, Seaport. All stuff packs and expansion packs, and a whole bunch of CC!
im alive n stuff...just busy with irl things...;v;
Trying to make some noise
If anyone else would like to join me in petitioning EA to at least try to fix the object limit in Legacy Edition (maybe I'd bother using that version of the game instead, lol), please jump on this thread I've started in their forums and comment.
Hello,An amazing coder named Will Nixon has been digging into a bug in The Sims 2 called the "Object Limit" and has figured out how it could
🙏🏻
(yes, Will, I know you're still poking at the UC code being like "could I fix this...??" but it shouldn't be all on you, lovely)
(yes, I know Legacy Edition sucks but if they were to remove this cap, I'd "use" it... if you know what I mean 😏)
Please add a comment to the thread or at least give it a like on the forum to help put pressure on them🙏
Halp!!
Somethang weird is happening to my game...
For some reason, I'm not able to select surface objects (desks, table) from Sims 2 Seasons expansion pack and place them down! I am confused on how this happened....
Also, they don't have their recolors that comes with the game + cc recolors
Does anyone have an guesses on what it could be?
Was so thrilled to sit down with the incredible @spockthewok this week to talk about how on earth he fixed The Sims 2. Thank you Will for so graciously allowing me to pepper you with questions (since day 1, lol) and for your time and expertise.
You're going straight to the hall of fame, my dude 😂❤️

After two years, We're back in my uberhood! In this episode, we makeover 190 Sim Lane!

Before and after pics, pt. 1
So the amazing spockthewok released another game changing fix! And it has to do with the ominous 'object limit!'
Ya'll know that I tend to hit that 'limit' a lot...
I tried his fix out and IT WORKS IN MY GAME! I tried it out in my Uberhood (since the object limit likes to show up in my game in my premade neighborhoods, not customs)
I am so grateful for the two fixes he has made for the game, I can play my game without any crashes (so far)
you can get the object limit fix + view the explanation on what causes the crash here!
Thank you once again, spockthewok!
Sims 2 Object Limit Fix
Soooo... I didn't intend for two highly requested fixes for The Sims 2 to drop within the space of a week and a half, buuuut...
Here's where you can download an experimental patch to fix the so-called 'object limit'!
https://github.com/spockthewok/TS2ObjectLimitFix
(Ultimate Collection only at the moment, I'm afraid).
The good news is:
Both @lordcrumps and @teaaddictyt have tested it with stupidly large CC folders and report that it works.
There isn't a dissertation the length of Tolstoy's 'War and Peace' you need to read through to understand wtf is going on.
The crashing wasn't caused by some hardcoded object limit at all! (That I know of).
An explanation of the issue for programmers:
And for everyone else:
The code for the Build/Buy menu was missing basic checks to confirm that the data it was trying to do things with was actually valid. No, I'm not joking.
Basically, it appears that all of the objects you can buy in the game are stored in something you can think of as being like a big, long list, which grows in size with the more custom objects you have.
The only purpose of the code that this plugin patches is to sort the items in the list into some kind of order. This is done by assessing if the value of the previous item in the list is larger than that of the item currently being looked at, and swapping their position if this is true (also known as an insertion sort).
In short, the game wasn't asserting that the data it was about to compare for sorting was valid before accessing it, and then promptly blowing up when it tried to do so and discovered it wasn't.
I imagine that the odds of the game making an oopsie and dumping some funky data into the list increases with the number of objects it is having to process - this might be why this issue only presents itself to those using multiple GB of Build/Buy CC. It was much easier to patch the code encountering the bad data within the list than to try and hunt down the mysterious culprit putting the data in there to begin with, so this is all the information I have at the moment unfortunately.
Either way, one of the first things you're taught when learning to code is to ALWAYS check that the data you're operating on has been initialised (i.e. it holds some kind of value). I guess someone at Maxis must have skipped that lecture :D
Is the 255 objects per subcategory limit theory true?
The Downloads folder I was using for testing had ~672 objects in the Deco/Misc subcategory (Maxis objects included). With the patch, I can freely navigate throughout the entire subcategory with zero crashes, so I guess not?
What about the whole OBJD limit thing?
People have varying beliefs of what the limit on OBJDs might be, but HCDU reports my Downloads folder had an OBJD count of 20,787. Again, without the patch the game would crash when switching categories in the Build/Buy catalogue, with the patch, no crashing.
If you want to hear my opinion on whether such a limit exists, watch this video.
Do I even need this patch if I don't use much CC?
As it adds some fairly important crash-prevention checks to part of the Build/Buy menu's functionality, I'd probably recommend using it anyway, just to be safe - we all know how much this game loves to crash!
Aaaah! I'm still getting crashes with the patch!
I'm aware that a few of you CC addicts out there have Downloads folders larger than the total size of everything ever uploaded to the internet, so if you still experience crashing in Build/Buy mode with this patch, please take a look at the mod's GitHub page and send me over the information requested there. Fingers crossed that shouldn't happen, but if it does, I'll try my best to investigate :)
Anyway...
Will
(I wish I had looked at this for my dissertation, as it was literally only a day's work).
It’s been a while hasn’t it? A brand new Sims 2 BACC Seaport Lets Play video is out on my YouTube! Watch it now! ^_^
Spockthewok (aka Will Nixon) wrote a master's thesis on pink flashing, figured out the cause and potentially found the first genuine fix.
The fix itself (along with the thesis for those interested) can be found here:

Holy moly, can’t wait to try this out!
2 Beach houses ready to catch some waves in your neighborhoods!
If you saw my recent post showing off two beach houses I made, I mentioned that I could make the houses CC free (well at least one of them. the smaller house has minimal cc)
The houses are ready to be placed down in your game!
70 Palm Grove Court is a 1 x 2 residential lot, two stories tall! It sits on a two click deck, so it's not on a normal foundation O_o Minimal CC is the recolorable deck stairs + white recolor, and these stairs by HugeLunatic that will just make the sims + pets zip right up to the deck w/ invisible rc :D
Download here!
72 Palm Grove Court is a 2 x 2 residential lot, three stories tall. It has a basement and garage, how kewl is that? NO CC AT ALL! YAY!
Download here!
I hope you guys enjoy these houses in your games! If there's anything wrong with the upload or the house at all, please let me know! This is my first time uploading anything to simfileshare in YEARS, and I tired to see if the links work, but she just opens and closes on me. Thank you!
Cecelia calls up Val the mailwoman to go on a date. Val must feel so secure and positive about the relationship these two have, so she autonomously asks Cecelia if she wants to go steady! She agrees, which means her and Cora must break things off and remain as friends. Cora is taken aback by the request, but respects Cecelia's wishes.
