a list of things I only just found out about the sims 2
ESC + hovering with the mouse will delete hood deco (x)
right clicking over a face template in cas will change your sim's face slightly to that template (great for making unique sims in cas) (x)
you can put phones on the walls behind kitchen counters
sims can do yoga on coffee tables and step over small toys
you can get extra points in the headmaster/private school mini-game if the headmaster has a drink, drinks coffee or goes in the hot tub
you can take the drawings your children and toddlers make on the activity/drawing table and place them on the wall
if a burglar on your lot is successfully arrested, you can release them yourself while the police officer is distracted
there is an animation where aliens will scan the power station tower in neighborhood mode in the same way they scan their ufos
toddlers can break out of their cribs if their fun need is low enough
if you turn your newspaper into an airplane sims can throw it multiple times before it crumples and has to be disposed of
One I learned recently...
Your sims can use the phone "booth" on a community lot to report when someone has been pickpocketed by the Unsavory Charlatan!
