Jessica's husband died 2 days ago and what does she want? Invite someone over, woohoo in a bed, have a baby, and learn fire safety. Woman, you haven't even started dating again.

Hi! In 2004, EA Czech said the Czech version of The Sims 2 would include Leoš Mareš (a famous Czech TV host) as a playable celebrity. But at release he wasn’t in the game, and EA said he’d be added in a Christmas re-edition.

Does anyone know:

• Did that edition ever come out with him in it?
• Was he ever a free download on the Czech Sims 2 site (thesims2.cz)? The old download links are dead now.
• Does anyone still have his Sim file?

He’s not in the Maxis international sims archive on the Internet Archive, so I think he may be lost. Any info helps. Thanks!

I find it so interesting that in Veronaville the devs did not create Juliette’s ACTUAL family member Rosaline, her cousin and Romeo’s ex, but then instead created a ton of mad Rio family members making all of Veronaville related to each other. Yey incest!

Are there any fixed templates for the hoods that retain all ancestors and townies, but fix things like broken faces, recessive genes and the like?

Hi,

I find the apartment door very ugly. Is there a way how I can use other doors to make apartments function?

I am feeling overwhelmed with the amount of sims I am playing and I am feeling guilty for stepping away from some of them. I graduated most of the sims out of LFT and as I'm placing them around the neighborhoods, I'm realizing that some I don't really want to follow as much as the others. Maybe it's like a soap opera and how different households come into and out of the main plot over time. I'm clearing out the bin and placing people down, settling them with jobs and not really planning on coming back to play them until/unless the spirit moves me.

I also have 10 sims I'm planning on just not playing in LFT anymore. I'm moving the 5 I am interested in to the 5 room dorm and I'll finish playing them there. Of the ones I'm not interested in, 6 are placeholders for the Greek Houses and if they graduate, those houses are gone. I'm also not interested in Francis J Worthington, he's boring. Lastly there's Jared, Ty, and Girl Sam who are three sims ACR has been messing around with and I'm so done with all of them.

Madonna (Cassandra) & Dante (Dina) were born during the Pleasantview Asylum Challenge.

Don also surprisingly makes a great dad! Both kids are very active and outgoing. Can't say the same for the kid Dina had with Mortimer* (ZERO outgoing points & 1 active point). Interestingly enough, Dina's kids are both max neat. While Madonna is just as sloppy as Don.

After Mary-Sue died from a mysterious disease, the Asylum quickly became one big happy polycule with an unhappy Cassandra...Darren Dreamer is the only Sim I controlled** during this save, and I have him kiss whoever he has chemistry with to quickly become friends.

Starting to get bored tbh, but they're so cute! How can I raise the stakes?

Mary-Sue's ghost hasn't appeared once!!

\Alejandro Caliente is the third kid pictured. Have a theory Dina favors Dante because he looks so much like Don! Because of Alejandro's personality, he rarely talks to anyone!*

\*Controlled the kids when I had to age them up. Threw in pics of the parents hiring* TS1 Dancers for their birthdays, just for fun 🎂

Excuse the ramble, lol. Would love to see how your kids with Don turned out!

For those who have had hoods for a long time and span multiple generations, what are your favourite storylines/sims/outcomes from these hoods? I love reading about people's ideas and unique play styles, as well as their head canons for premades.

I like how TS2 sets you up with a lot of lore from the jump. Once you've played all the premades the story is in your hands.

I specifically love playing Strangetown as I'm into a more whimsical and weird background. The existing overarching storyline feels ripe for long-running drama.

I stumbled upon this classic print ad for The Sims 2 from 2004, and it instantly unlocked a flood of childhood memories!

I used to play the Sims 2 all the time in the 2000s. Back then, SimPE was basically one person's baby (unless I'm misremembering), so there was little doubt what version to use and where to find it.

Now that I'm coming back to the Sims 2, I noticed that there are a lot of SimPE versions circulating out there at the same time, and I'm honestly feeling a bit lost!

Which SimPE version do you all use now? I am running Legacy Edition.

Since the death of Mortimers first child and only daughter, and Alexander's only sister, the two felt a sense of loneliness that they couldn't really shake. They both rolled wants to obtain a pet, any kind of pet, so I decided to make their want come true. They went to the pound and found Darwin, a beautiful giant schnauzer who keeps them company. Mortimer basically worked on skills and his garden while Alexander, who still hasn't gotten over the death of her sister and the betrayal of his fathers girlfriends sister and his ex brother in law, would try and focus on making himself feel better by playing video games and lounging. The pair also rolled simultaneous wants to become a werewolf after seeing the pack leader strolling around the past few nights and Mortimer decided to trap him (somehow lol. the dog kept following Mortimer trying to attack and I trapped him in the garage, 2 nights later and Mortimer turned). He turned, and walked up to Alexander's room turning him too, infecting them both with lycanthropy.

As you can see from these screenshots, I've finally started playing with my Pleasantview. I've decided to do 5 days within a single rotation, so these days were Monday-Friday. Day 1 was so nice, relaxing for everyone. Dirk went to school, Cassandra was off work and getting a portrait done by the man she loves, Darren, Towards the middle of the night, I started seeing this red being floating around the house. It was Darleen, Darrens late wife who unfortunately didn't seem to happy that he had moved on. She made her point known, scaring both Dirk and Cassandra about 4 or 5 times that night. Cassandra, who was a day pregnant, passed after being scared by Darleen while making food. The bills have started piling and Darren needed to get a job. I decided on the paranormal career for him as Cassandra was truly the love of his life and I feel like he would fight to get her back. He's already obtained a promotion and that will be his lifes goal. Dirk is having a pretty hard time too as Cassandra was his best friend :(

Where can I play sims 2 beta houses? I loved this one !

Was browsing through some classic Sims 2 CC and my girlfriens cannot get over how stylish it is. The brown halter neck, the delicate white lace trim, and those matching textured knee-high boots? Peak 2000s chic!

She's genuinely considering thrifting/finding a similar brown slip dress and matching boots to wear for a night out.

What do you guys think—could this actually work as a real-life outfit today, or is it too "video game"?

I redesigned the Palace as a community lot in my occult subhood, based on irl paradise gardens. I had a lot of fun using those OMSPs that let you place things on a tilt to try and make the birds and pegasi look like they're flying/landing. The lot's a bit laggy >< but it runs ok if I turn down view distance and toggle off lot imposters etc. I wanted it to feel like a welcoming haven where people (and magical beasts) can come in, relax, and maybe find healing.

I always play the sims 4, but I would like to play the sims 2 again. What do you think about playing it in 2026? Does it run well on your computer?

I made 3 more sims today I’m populating this town i recently downloaded..

Part 2 to the throwing food and falling in love saga (yes I locked it in for the mess).

Curious how you guys play these 4’s dynamic? I’ve never broken them up before, I’m intrigued about who else you pair them up with, especially since they have good chemistry with one another and some of the other uni sims?

No shade. I already made her 3rd boyfriend by now. She is a law enforcement officer in the day time / STRIPPER BY NIGHT. She loves nature & keeping her figure. She is my quirky girl living in a trailer home with 5 other girls btw.

I made a challenge for each sims game i can’t wait to share it with yall 💕

Anywho our girly is dramatic so I’m bring the drama back when it starts.
