Holding up snarky signs doesn't seem to be working.
For me, it isn't about whether this action is appropriate or not. It's about how this kind of action is inevitable.
I'm going to let Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. explain in a quote no one seems to post during his annual holiday.
"It is not enough for me to stand before you tonight and condemn riots. It would be morally irresponsible for me to do that without, at the same time, condemning the contingent, intolerable conditions that exist in our society. These conditions are the things that cause individuals to feel that they have no other alternative than to engage in violent rebellions to get attention. And I must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. And what is it America has failed to hear?"
If you only speak up about a supercharger catching fire and ignore the unheard, you are prioritizing a thing over people.
The second part to my Sims 2 mod masterlist.
NOTE: I use Ultimate Collection. Some mods may not work if you use Legacy Edition. They will be noted.
Last Updated: 2/8/25 - Added 'Drama Prof Fix Add-On'.
PART 1 | PART 2
Occult (Bigfoot, Werewolf) Mods
Bigfoot Romance: An edited version of the original Bigfoot romance mod that allows Bigfoot to fall in love with regular Sims, as well as have babies. You only need this mod, not the original as well.
Bigfoot Defaults - Eye Love: Default eye replacements for the legend, Bigfoot.
Bigfoot gets sewing/pottery badges: Makes spawned Bigfeet start with gold badges in pottery and sewing, just like naturally made ones.
Familial Bigfoot: Lets you have Bigfeet of all ages and both genders. MAKE SURE TO CHECK YOUR LOAD ORDER LISTED ON THE POST, AS THIS MOD HAS SEVERAL CONFLICTS.
Werewolf Personality: Rather than continuously changing personality forever, giving all werewolves the same personality, this mod changes personality only through the first 20 transformations.
Creature Fixes: Fixes for all of the supernatural and assorted creatures from the base game to AL.
Hereditary Supernaturalism: Occult status can now be inherited from parent to child.
No Alien Sexism: Allows both female and male abductees to get pregnant from alien probing.
New Pollination Technician: Changes what the alien pollination technician replacement looks like.
Bigfoot Semester Changes: Makes Semester Changes (under the 'College Mods' section) work with Bigfoot. MUST load after Cyjon’s mod AND after the Bigfoot mods.
Manipulator "Controller" Mods
Lamare LTW Chooser: Allows you to freely choose a Sim's lifetime wish without being restricted to the ones available just for their aspiration.
FFS Debugger: Provides options to fix several bugs, glitches, and other issues. Tons and tons of debugging options.
Auto Saver: Creates a dialog that pops up asking if you wish to save your game.
Bathroom Uses YOU!: Adds a toilet paper roll (with a hammer and sickle) that helps with bathroom door clogs. Has a nice feature that ejects a Sim immediately once they have done their business. Here's more recolors.
Cyjon's Debugger: A general purpose object, meant to compliment items like Pescado's batbox. Can be found in Buy Mode under Miscellaneous/Miscellaneous as the pizza box.
Sim Blender: The ultimate Sim management “God” mod.
Sim Manipulator: I use it for the ability to instantly change clothes to a different outfit or plan outfits by clicking on a Sim, and to make non-playable Sims easily selectable, but it has MANY more options.
Visitor Controller: Control which Sims are allowed to visit certain lots. Ban Sim from lots based on gender, aspiration, career, gender preference, and many other characteristics. Also allows you to ban Crumplebottom, Unsavory Charlatan and other annoying NPCs.
Sims 2 RPC: A custom Sims 2 Launcher with quality of life changes, firstborn syndrome fix, better graphics and more! USE THIS LITE VERSION IF YOU HAVE LEGACY EDITION.
College Mods
No College Time Progression On Community Lots: Prevents the college timer from progressing on community college lots and allows it to progress on all residential lots.
There Can Be Only One (Professor): Game will generate one rather than two professors for each major. Gender will be random.
Stinky Dormie Fix: Will stop dormies from doing an assignment when what they really need is a shower.
Young Adult Walk Fix: Fixes the Young Adult walk style so they walk normally. Fixes the Lazy sim idle animations to remove the gorilla slouch as well as the 'slow spin' clothes changing routine.
Later Classes: Moves all morning university classes later in the day so no class starts before noon.
Semester Changes: Substantially changes how the university works so it is more bearable and closer to being on the same schedule as the rest of the sims in your game.
Revised Majors: All the university majors have been revised so that they are actually relevant to careers.
Young Adults Can Enjoy Maternity (and all that): Umbrella category mod that includes: aging at university, pregnancy at university, alien pregnancy at university, adopting at university, school buses at university, and a fix for the University Greek houses. MUST HAVE MATERNITY CLOTHES FOR YA
Smarter choice of parent for entering college cinematic: Unmodded, the game always chooses the sim with the lowest neighbor ID to be in the cinematic. This fixes it so it's relationship based instead of Sim ID based.
Aging Mods
Custom Age Span: Links to PleasantSims' fantastic video on how to setup a custom agespan. My agespan goes as follows: Baby - 2 Days, Toddler - 4 Days, Child - 8 Days, Teen - 10 Days, Adult - 45 Days. Everything else is left at default.
Age Up at Midnight: Ages Sim up at midnight instead of 6pm. !! DO NOT USE THIS MOD IF YOU USE A CUSTOM AGE SPAN (ABOVE) !! Instead, you can edit the ijAgecons.package according to the description on this MTS post.
NPC Aging: NPC Sims on the active lot will age up one day at 6:00 PM, but only if they are ON the active lot. Does not impact playables.
Smart Age Correct: Corrects ages in 'hood to go along with your own custom agespan.
Career Mods

Part & full time careers mutually satisfy wants: Getting a part-time job satisfies a want to get a full-time job in a corresponding career and vice versa.
Business Runs YOU!: Automates a lot of Sims 2 business processes, including: managing the employees, making them take breaks automatically, giving them reasonable wages automatically, so that your sims can spend time actually running their business instead of micromanaging the dumb employees so they don’t ragequit. Here's the invisible recolor for the hammer and sickle.
Professional Blogger: Sims can make money from blogging on the computer.
Job Level Labels: With this mod you can quickly see what level your Sim is in their career. In addition the number shows up when you are job searching.

Anti-Redundancy: Eliminates spawning of unnecessary, redundant NPCs. Should only spawn one per type, more only if needed because the first is unavailable.
Child Computer Chat: The computer chat menu displays two submenus: Child (all the children online) and Adult (teens, adults and elders online). Access to the separate chat rooms is no longer restricted by the age of the user.

Caged Pets Fixes: Fixed random bird death bug and other annoyances and bugs related to the birds and womrats.
Talk More, Eat Less: This hack will bypass the conversation if the Sim is in desperation for energy, hunger, fun or bladder, or is in a bad mood. Sims with maxed social will talk less.
Apology Fury Fix: Apology will reduce furiousness, as it was originally supposed to. Requires Smarter EP Check.
Call NPCs: Reverts a "fix" made in FreeTime that prevents sims from calling almost all NPCs.
Relationship Decay Fix: Fixes bug which causes game to error out when calculating the 4 pm relationship decay on very large families.
More Sleep: Players can direct sims to sleep at night, even if the sim is not tired.

Same Sex Marriage: Replaces 'joined' to be 'married' for sex same couples.
No Corrupt Death: Suppresses the corrupt death memory.

NOTE: This list is so long that I had to split this into two parts (Tumblr doesn't allow posts with more than 100 hyperlinks 😩).
ALSO NOTE: I use Ultimate Collection. Some mods may not work if you use Legacy Edition. They will be noted.
Last Updated: 2/7/25 - EA released a patch that did a bunch of stuff, but by proxy created backwards compatibility with some HUGE mods, such as ACR and CJH Community Time. These mods will now work on Legacy.
Also, added 3D Eyelashes in 'CAS & Defaults' category.
