How do you get sims 2 to work on windows 8? I really wanna be able to play the ultimate collection but it won't work :(
oh nooo :( i think they fixed it to work with windows 8 a bit better so before you do anything else, i’d check your graphics card! if you’ve got an integrated and a dedicated one make sure it’s using the right one - i don’t think ts2 is all that compatible with some intel integrated cards so make sure it’s using your other one! mine crashed the first time i loaded it up because it was using my intel one rather than the nvidia card >.< that’s super easy to fix in your graphics card control panel! if that isn’t the case, try going to program files x86> origin games> the sims 2 ultimate collection> fun with pets> SP9> TSBin and then right click on the Sims2EP9 application and troubleshoot compatibility! i’m pretty sure it runs with windows xp service pack 2 or 3 :) you might have to make it run as an administrator too! i hope you manage to get it working sweetheart :( <3
Hey! I'm so happy you're back, I've missed the James-Grays so much ;-; What month are you doing Camp NaNoWriMo? It'd be awesome to go in a cabin with you :3
thank you so much! ;~; i’ve missed them tooooo :c july! yay yay yay let’s be in a cabin together! :D <3
How did you put the different designs on the t-shirt in /post/50381089279/ahhh-you-gorgeous-people-why-on-earth-are-you ? I really want to try the same thing but I don't know how to do it, so I thought maybe you could give me some tips :)
hi sweetheart! it’s super simple to do once you get into the swing of the whole thing! :) i’m pretty sure i first learned from this tutorial here :) the way i make the alpha (which is the easiest way imo) is basically right clicking on the open file in photoshop to duplicate it so you have your original stencil file still safe and sound and you can make your alpha in peace, filling (edit>fill) in the background layer as black, and then, when on the stencil layer, clicking on this little dude and choosing color overlay, then white, then merging the layers, selecting it all and copying it (ctrl c) over to the original stencil file under the channels section on the alpha channel (ctrl v) (if this makes any sense at all)
then save the file as a .dds and import it as a stencil in tsr! (your channels are gonna look a million times different than that btw, i couldn’t find a dds file of a stencil on my computer so i just opened a random screenshot instead as an example lmao sorry)
i hope this helps you! please feel free to let me know if you need any help at all! i’m excited to see what you come up with :D <3
Being the oldest of four kid, Harvey always felt a kind of pressure and responsability towards his sisters and brother. He tried to be an example for them, but sometimes he felt like he wasn't good enough.
He's always looked up to his father, Dante, because he was his first and only hero.
He doesn't like cheese. Like, he hates it guts. Once Marnie asked him to prepare mac&cheese because she was having pregnancy cravings and of course he made it, because he loved his wife so much, but right after eating he had to go to the bathroom to throw up LOL
He was one of those "cool teenagers". Girls in school loved him and his ambition made him take home really good grades.
If it was possible to decide with which hand our sims write, he'd be left handed.
childrenofthecaandycorn - it's a pose and accessory from here sweetheart :)
1 - okay so for installing custom content, you'll need to double click the file if it's a sims3pack to install it through the launcher and if it's a package file you'll need to set up a mod folder by following these instructions and downloading the stuff it links to ^.^ as for pose player, make sure you have an account at modthesims, download it from here and then put it in your package folder with the rest of your mods ^.^ hope that helps!
2 - hmmm, the kid may not automatically be born with the custom hair so you might have to change it using the mirror! unless you mean hair colors? :) in which case yeah the kid might inherit the custom hair color ^.^ hope this answers your q!
3 - freckles are a mix of these two (1, 2), and eyebrows are from here :3
4 - i don't actually have a mod for no blur because my younger cousin sometimes plays my game and i don't want to disturb her or something lmao! however there's one here and here (make sure you install the right one for your patch level!), not sure which is better because like i said i have very little experience with them haha :3
5 - of course you can! most stuff is base game compatible most of the time, i'd suggest looking here for hairs/clothes etc. to begin with and my sliders/skins are all listed on my resources page here :3 hope this helps!
i'm so so so sorry for both my inactivity and how ridiculously late these are >.<
i'm counting down the hours until i can go back to bed
1 - from my experience, yes! i've never had a problem and it helps the dreaded pose list load quicker :3 just back up all your poses before you do it, just in case :) <3
2 - haha awww! i'll do one for each of the girls - maddie and jack got first dibs because i was in maddie's update save and also i was having feels ;) i'll get to the other girls next time i go in game! :3 <3
princessdark16 - sometimes! never for gameplay though, but when i do i use this one here :3 <3
3 - eeep i'm not sure which sims they are anymore nonny because i'm terrible and you sent this a very long time ago >.< but if they were from the legacy aka one of the kids, i'm uploading the spares after i've finished the heir poll, and then the heir after their generation is over if that makes sense :3 if they're not from my legacy, feel free to let me know which ones they were so i can see about getting them uploaded for you :3 <3
4 - ahhh nonny you're so sweet ;~; when he's grown up i'll be happy to put him up for download!! i would now but i haven't seen him grown up yet and i'm kind of excited for it to be a surprise, you know? :3 <3
bon-jovi-rocks-on-occasion - hello ily let's be friends ok <3
5 - oh my goodness you're so welcome nonny! thank you for being so lovely okay! :3 <3
6 - thank you for this non!! it's taking forever but i've pretty much just got clothing left to do which is kinda terrifying me haha ¬_¬ but yes i'll be so glad to get it all done! :3 i'm glad you got yours sorted out too! :D <3
childrenofthecaandycorn - here you go sweetheart! :) <3
zoesims21 - oh my gosh you're so so sweet ;~; thank you so much sweetheart ahhh!!! <3 <3 <3
7 - yes of course you can sweetheart! :D i'd be honored teehee! :3 <3
suspiciously--yours - !!! you're welcome, love! thank you for the wonderful post :3 <3
8 - i'm not sure what that would entail but i don't see why not! :) message me with details or whatever but i must warn you, it might take me a while! my game is NOT cooperating with me at the moment ¬_¬ <3
9 - here you go nonny :) <3
10 - here non! :D <3
pixelsinthewind - i just had a look and it's 396x700! it took a bit of guess work to get it right haha! it's a bit of a pain isn't it? i hope you get it sorted love! <3
zoesims21 - ahh it was really frustrating me haha! i've got it all working now though. i think it depends on your computer because i've seen some people have no problems at all and then others just can't get it to work. eventually i had to install all the games on my old computer and then transport the files over because it kept crashing during the patching process and agh so frustrating! haha <3
11 - hi sweet! i don't mind a bit! :) it's polyester bride by brntwaffles with this body tattoo on a low opacity and this facial tattoo on a low opacity :3 there is actually a skin with the markings here (and also here!) if you're looking for an actual skin! :) <3
