can I just say how wholesome it is reading everyone's posts here and on discord, seeing pics of their games without pink soup and how they can PLAY their busiest and heaviest nhoods for longer than 5-20min or even an hour without Sims 2 getting all confused and geriatric on them? It is SO wholesome and refreshing and GOOD to see that this patch is so far, the answer to the problem. We were even blessed with a technical breakdown as to WHY it happens!

My heart is so full. Its like this patch breathed new life into this game to allow us to play and enjoy it LONGER finally, without the frustration and heartache of it crashing mid-gameplay, not having saved yet.

Its SO good. Its a RELIEF to not be plagued with pink soup. Stressing about staying on windows or switching to Linux (still recommended tho, in general), trying to save and scour to upgrade hardware hoping by throwing money at it will really help (and now we know, thats not necessarily the answer either!) These stresses, relieved!

Thank you @spockthewok , thank you SO much for your hardwork on your dissertation that Ive been digesting over the past few days 🖤✨ this will go down in Sims 2 history forever.

My experience with Spockthewok’s Pink Soup patch for Sims 2 has been positive so far. Sharing for data collection purposes if it’s helpful! I still need to continue testing the patch, but I am using V1 and it works great with the RPC launcher.

Last night, I was able to load a huge, decor-heavy lot and save it, then exit back to the neighborhood with no pink flashing. Exiting back to the neighborhood is where I have never been able to stop the pink flashing. With this, I could also switch between neighborhoods with no flashing. 

After I start filming machinima again in a couple days (gotta do some decorating first), I will stress-test the patch with having more than eight active sims on one lot. That’s when my game always crashed due to RAM issues when I was using a non-gaming laptop.
