A showcase of my Sims 2 game

Not sure you had much choice in the matter, Harriet...

[uglypixels-deactivated20230720]

Sims 2 is unfortenly abandonware and its impossible to get it originally now, and some people, like me, did not got the uc for free at time, so a lot of people just cant play the game, which is very sad because everyone know how amazing it is!

But, luckily there is a way to still get this game! Through… piracy, yes, i know its sad that the only way we can get it is through that method, but at this point its almost impossible to get the original disks that are untouched/not broken… so if you really want to play sims 2 and do not care about doing this method so you can follow this tutorial!

This should be reblogged by everyone. Even if you’re straight, you should be a supporter.

Feeling conflicted, are we?

Side note: That sim he’s afraid of falling out of love with? He’s been dead for, like, 25 sim years...

Time running slowly

Does anyone know how to get the flow of time running normally again on a lot? On speed 1, it takes 2-3 seconds for 1 sim minute to pass. Normally 1 sim min is 1 IRL second, right? I’ve noticed this only happens on lots I’ve built myself, not downloaded.

Has anyone had, and fixed, an issue like this? My sims move at normal speed, time just passes so slowly.

I finally got around to trying everyone’s suggestions, and the sim manipulator did the trick.

Thanks everyone for your help!!

Hello! :) I hate to bother you, but do you happen to know if there is an archive somewhere with all hairs that have been done in the new Hair System? I'm thinking on switching but Jelly deleted her downloads blog and idk where else I'm able to download her hairs and eyebrows from? Thank you!

hey @gupster-sims (you’re not a bother at all)!

There’s no archive, but allthehairs may be your best best. Otherwise, it’s (I think) a relatively small group of people churning out NHS hairs, so check out:

@dreadpirate

@keoni-chan

@spookymuffinsims

@victoriasims

@y2sims

@dullivory

(sorry if I’m overlooking anyone. Let me know and I’ll add them here!)

I’m not sure why @jellybeanery deleted their downloads blog :(. I only have a small amount of their NHS hairs, but I have most of their brows. Since jelly’s on a hiatus, I could upload the brows as several people have asked about them.

Might need this later...

A Story in Three Pictures

I was looking through some old screenshots of a save of @dreadpirate‘s fixed Pleasantview (where I made pretty much everyone bi or gay, apparently), and these photos were all in sequence. I thought it was hilarious.

Summerdream Family

The Summerdreams! This family grows on me each time I open the lot (another @katatty makeover). Titania and Oberon recently got engaged. I decided to have Puck and Bottom be their biological children because I really wanted them to reproduce. I mean, look at them! Disappointingly, Oberon doesn’t have pointy ears, and I’m pretty sure Puck doesn’t have them either, but Bottom does!

Capp (3) Family

Regan and Cornwall live in a smallish house on a huge lot with his parents, Hamlet and Tobea. Their little son Lear is so far a good mix of the two, but because of him, Uncle Kent couldn’t move it. Regan is not at all fond of her older sisters (she was so prickly as a kid), but she does have a soft spot for her little brother. But no space.

Cornwall is kind of an ass. He’s a lot older than Regan, and has more bolts with both of her sisters. I tried to see if I could get him to have affairs and illegitimate children with them (like @dreadpirate‘s updated version of Veronaville), but Cordelia was completely faithful, and Albany knocked Goneril up with Hal before Cornwall could XD.

Monty (2) Family

The last Monty branch is Antonio’s. He and Hero lived together for a long time before getting married, because I wanted the BG Veronaville kids to be somewhat the same ages. For some reason, even though Hero’s dad was a Celebrity Chef, he couldn’t make cheesecake for her, so Beatrice was born first, and hero is currently pregnant with Benedick.

Kinda weird that they didn’t have twins. I’m pretty sure it’s genetic in Sims 2, and both of Antonio’s parents are twins, and Hero’s dad is a twin too. Oh well. I’m not being too strict on canon anyway.

Capp (2) Family

Here’s Goneril’s branch of the family, and they’re one of my favourites in this hood. I’m kinda glad She and Albany need 4 kids, because I love both their faces. Goneril is a freaking queen!

Albany’s dad Richard is still alive and is happy to stay home with his grandkids. Miranda is a tub pirate just like her Grandpa Consort! She’s also basically Goneril with Albany’s colouring. Hal just grew up and is super cute (and blond!). Also, Goneril popped again just before exiting the household, so Desdemona is on the way!

Boarding House

So, Kent Capp moved into the boarding house after college instead of with his sister Regan. Her house doesn’t really have enough room to fit him with her in-laws still being alive and having a newborn. The boarding house is the alternative to having my sims live alone, because that’s just too boring.

The boarding house has a few career rewards and Kent just couldn’t resist calling the Grim Reaper. That’s how Bardolph (a distant Monty cousin) became my game’s first zombie!

Monty (3) Family

So, in my Veronaville, Bianca has plenty of love interest choices, and doesn’t have to settle for the most closeted, contentious choice Base Game Veronaville has to offer. She married Warwick Norman, cousin to Albany Capp, and they have adorable twins named Emilia and Iago. 

In case you’re wondering, Monty (2) is for Antonio’s branch, but Bianca comes first in the rotation. Also, she aged up into that dress and I just rolled with it. I think a 50′s aesthetic really suits her!

Monty Family

I decided to spare you the extensive spare families, as the family trees are so convoluted, and pretty much everyone is marrying their second cousins now... so let’s just jump to the main Monty Family.

I love that the boys are redheads! Also, Mercutio rolled gay. Here’s hoping Tybalt grows up to be bi or gay too (fingers crossed!). Also, I’m not sure if I should try to force relationships from here on out, like pairing up Romeo with Juliet. Should I just let them choose the partners they like best, or get them together and see what happens?

Also, I love Claudio and Olivia. They’re so cute! Olivia isn’t pregnant again, cause I’m not sure if they should have that “extra” kid or not.

Capp Family

So, I still play a lot, but definitely don’t post a lot. But I thought I should update you all on how my Beginning of... Veronaville is coming along. As you can tell, we are now at the point where all your favourite Veronaville sims are born/being born! It’s very exciting, and I’m proud of myself for making it to 5 generations of an entire hood!

Anyway, here’s the complete Capp family (see captions for a who’s who)! I’m pretty pleased with how the genetics were doled out here. Juliet and Hermia (both of whom aged up after I took the group picture) are redheads and the spitting image of their father. I’m kind of annoyed the kids don’t have more of their mother’s beautiful features, but I think Caliban’s features will translate well to female sims. Tybalt actually looks a lot like his Uncle Kent.

I’m using the Capp Manor makeover by @katatty BTW. And I don’t have plans to kill anyone off who is supposed to be dead at the start of the game. There’s not really a feud going on XD. I do have realistic sickness on, though. Cordelia already died, but before she could give birth to Juliet, so, uh, I had to save her. But we’ll let nature take it’s course from here on out!

Sims 2 Aspiration Sheet

There was a Google Sheets doc shared recently that let you input a sim’s personality points, zodiac, hobby and interest points to calculate an aspiration. I grabbed it and am loving it, but I must have accidentally deleted one of the formulas and I have no idea how to reset it. I tried scouring the last week and a half of my tumblr page, but couldn’t find it, and I was dumb enough not to like the post. Does anyone know what I’m talking about? I can’t remember who the creator was, but I want to re-download that sheet.

Much thanks, Tumblr-verse!

Nevermind, I didn’t realize I could restore an old version :P
