(The Sims 2) New hot key I found today! Ctrl+Shift+L + BONUS

ADDED: I've have cracked it! Check out this post here to find out more!!!!

While I was poking around in the game files, I stumble upon a text list which contained "Congratulations... The Sims 2 Nightlife!" something something, but then, something in that text list caught my eyes "Press and hold ctrl+shift+L to play again..." something like that... So I decided to try it out in game and... (check out the video down below)

As you can see, the lot reloaded! So no more loading in and out from Lot View to Neighborhood View and back to Lot View, SKIPPING A WHOLE LOADING SCREEN!! WHAAAAT!!!?? But SAVE BEFORE DOING SO!!!!

**Bonus** As you could see in the video, I didn't open the "family bio, enter lot" menu (whatever it's called, the one that displays the family portrait, bio, etc) I Double Clicked and that even works on Entering a Neighborhood

Let me know (by liking or reblogging, etc) if you found this helpful, or even learned something new about The Sims 2😊 (I found it to be both helpful and learned something new, oh man ThIs GaMeEe, I lOvE iTt!💕(*ahem* sorry about that...))

How to build a walkout basement in The Sims 2 🌼

I didn't think of this when I was making the video, but if you use the flowers I used, sims won't be able to water them... so I recommend adding sprinklers!

You can also use the water inaccessible flowers fix, the perfect plants mod or custom flowers that don't need watering, like these & these

The Sims 2 Tutorial | Building Stacked Lots

In this video tutorial I am walking you through the process of building stacked lots. This technique was first created by the amazing @threadandsandpaper back in 2014. You can still find the original tutorial right here: https://threadandsandpaper.dreamwidth.org/5129.html

(Massive thanks for this incredible tutorial, all cred goes to you 🥰)

hi! sorry to bother you, i know this post (/post/762917330214928384/i-edited-and-merged-a-bunch-of-makeup-and-got) is super old but i came across it the other day and can't get it out of my head... could you elaborate on how you pinned makeup cc to SPs to organize your blush category better? i'm really interested in doing that but i'm not sure where to start.

Never a bother! Like I said in that post, using this trick for organization isn't a new idea (BSOK is a thing and I think Almighty Hat uses it to sort distinct cultural attire in their game) but I've never seen it applied just to make-up, and that was the only category I thought was truly annoying to plod through randomly. This is what it looks like in Bodyshop in my Blush category:

I have all my actual blushes and a few effects things in their default CC state, then it starts with eye masks, then misc. "face kits" with lots of parts, then nosemasks, then freckles/moles/beauty marks, then lip enhancements. ETA: One downside to weigh here is that the binned CC no longer displays its tooltip on mouseover. For me, this was a non-issue, but it's definitely a tradeoff.

This turned into a mini tutorial with pictures, so...

How to Organize Your Unmanageable Make-Up Categories by Pinning To EPs using Outfit Organizer

All this is done by changing the Product value. To pin stuff to an EP, we just have to change this one number in the Property Set (or Texture Overlay XML, basically the same thing.) You can do it in SimPe or Wardrobe Wrangler, but those require you to edit packages or Property Sets one at a time, so I use the Outfit Organizer by @picknmixsims. Every EP and SP has its own number, and for EAxis stuff this number tells the game what EP to put it with in the catalog (another advantage of the Outfit Organizer: you don't have to know the numbers because it's in a handy dropdown menu.) Anything that's not EAxis gets labeled as CC and appears at the front of the catalog with the CC asterisk. The first thing I did was subfolder everything by type: all my nosemasks in a folder, my moles and freckles in a folder, my lip shadows in a folder... once I get it the way I like it, I apply the change to everything in that folder. (And at this point I'd probably make a backup of everything in case something goes wrong.) Here I just went and found some nosemasks I didn't have because clearly I needed more nosemasks right? I deleted the supernatural ones I didn't think I'd use much, and then the folder is ready. I open up the Outfit Organizer and select that folder to work on. It's listed in the top left box.

Raw Tutorial - How to Make Custom Harvestable/Orchard Trees and Make Them Seasons Friendly.

This tutorial is somewhat raw and has no pictures. I don't see myself adding them in the foreseeable future, However, at the time, I wrote it as detailed as possible, so I won't forget. Hope it'll be helpful as it is. If not, I will make a proper edit in the future. So, if anyone's interested in that kind of thing, Head This Way:

btw, if anyone has any notes about it, I'd like to hear them.

HOW TO MAKE YOUR SIM WORK IN A FULL-TIME* JOB AND AS AN EMPLOYEE IN A BUSINESS AT THE SAME TIME

IMPORTANT: I've tested this in my game and so far I haven't had any catastrophic glitches. However, I still recommend you make a backup of your neighborhood in case anything goes wrong. Huge thanks to @bstu for helping me out with this one!

*haven't tried this with part-time jobs but I assume it works the same way. Just remember to look for the teen-elder jobs in the career tab once you get to step 4.

Okay for some context, my Sim (Drake Walton, now Drake Jocque) works in the Politics career as a congressperson. However, since his hobby is music and dance, I wanted him to work at Cleo O'Mackey's nightclub as a DJ at the same time for some extra money, but no matter how hard I tried, the game wouldn't let me.

As I said, @bstu came up with an idea. To do this, you absolutely need to use SimPE. This method won't work with mods like Sim Blender, Sim Manipulator or similar hacks. Why, you may ask? Because we need to avoid the pop-up that shows up when switching jobs:

That being said, let's start with the tutorial:

First of all, hire the Sim you want to work in your business as you'd normally do. When the switching jobs pop-up shows up, click on "Yes". After this, save and exit your game.

Go to SimPE, open your neighborhood under "Tools -> Neighborhood -> Neighborhood browser...", then click on "Sim Browser" and look for the Sim you want to edit, in my case Drake Jocque.

Once you do this, click on "Career", above your Sim's description:

4. In here, go to the career tab, where it should say "Unknown". Change it back to your sim's previous job and career level. In my case, it was Politics, Lvl 7. Commit your changes, save and close SimPE.

5. Open your game and see if your changes got saved. If you go check your sim's job, you may encounter a glitch in which it'll display the name of the business your sim works at instead of their vacation days. Again, this is just a visual glitch and will not affect your gameplay whatsoever.

That would be pretty much it! Hope this small tutorial was of any help to anyone in here lol, I'll keep you updated in case I encounter any important glitches, but so far my game has worked as intented.

so what the hell’s up with the theme in simpe?

so today i was talking to a buddy and i realize this is something nobody really tells you, and i mean, it’s 2022. simpe is weird asf and its hard to find support for it. so enjoy this little post

let’s say i was trying to relink skip broke’s character file or do something else that has a table of this format.

it seems like the labels for anything just aren’t showing up, and well, that’s because the labels are written in black and the background of the tables are also black. this has an easy fix. you’ll just want to click extra>preferences... in the top left corner

click simpe settings on the sidebar of this window that pops up

on where it says theme, go to the dropdown menu and choose a theme that is not office2003. i use everett but it’s a matter of preference. enjoy :)
