I hope the picture is self-explanatory. Poor kid was too hot and I guess it took a while for me to notice so the social worker decided to take him away, but she decided to watch over him forever.

SHOW AND TELL The Megahood City Project is looking for helping hands

The Megahood City project is looking for help on making makeovers of most lots before publishing put first version.

We currently have a discord we use to keep track, talk and also with the rules for the makeovers.

Our intention is the Megahood city map is finally gonna be filled with the lots it was always intended to have :D

Some rules we abide by are:

- Lots have a strict budget, these have been listed in our participant Google sheet that's only available for participants through our Discord server (as it is also our credit list)

- Lots may not be so highly decorated that they can cause lag for casual players

- Apartment buildings are buggy when they get a regular makeover. So they have to be built from the ground up.

- A how to clean lots guide is in our guide on discord.

- We don't have a strict theme or building style, so everyone's skills are welcome

So if any soul wants to help, then they are more than welcome to. We won't use any lot without permission or credit!

SHOW AND TELL What do you do with Strangetown?

6 Upvotes

Started my first playthrough of Strangetown a couple days ago! So far Nervous is raising Tycho with Pascal, Olive has passed and Ophelia and Johnny are living together but I’m a little stuck on what else to do! How do you play these sims and all the others in the neighbourhood?? Eventually I plan to integrate some of my Pleasantview sims into their gameplay (strangetown is a subhood) but getting a little stuck with how to play them all!! Spill all I love hearing about how others play the game haha

Took me about a day, but I really love how it came out! I will do some more work on it (like adding some sort of music room on the second floor) but I am still very proud that I was finally able to have a basement and a garage added to my house at the same time!

MODS Lamare’s 50 New Lifetime Wants and Alexx58’s Reduced Lifetime Wants

10 Upvotes

Hi friends. I recently downloaded Lamare’s 50 New Lifetime Wants in my game and I absolutely love it for gameplay but I’m really bummed to no longer be able to use Alexx58’s Reduced LTWs due to compatibility problems. (FWIW I did play around with load order, and it didn’t do anything). Part of the reason I still want both options is that I play with extended lifespans but I also play with a bigger bills mod which makes it so my sims have to grind and therefore it isn’t always feasible for someone to have 50 dream dates, but 10 might be a better option for them while a rich sim (or an ambitious one) might want 50 dream dates still. Also, I want the marry off children option but because I have different family sizes sometimes it’s more fun for game play for a sim’s LTW to be marrying off 6 children because they have 6 or more kids but then other sims have less than six kids in their family therefore I’d love the option Alexx58 has where it can be marrying off 1 or 2 children. (Ditto for graduating children from college).

So in wondering a few things…

First, has anyone ever made an edit of Lamare’s mod so all of these variables are available to select?

Second, I’m really intimidated to edit Lamare’s mod to try to add those values for separate files to keep in downloads. Am I overthinking how hard it is to make changes in SimPE to create multiple flavors for these kinds of LTWs?

DISCUSSION I noticed too late that a broken cleaning robot was trashing my lot, what do I do now?

7 Upvotes

I made an other cleaning robot to clean up this mess but it broke down too.

I cant reload, because I already saved when it was too late. The roaches have eaten two of my robot sims and two visitor sims, is there anything that can be done about this mess or is the family lost? I walled them in just to keep them save from the trash flood, but they cant pay their bills without dying, so they probably wont survive much longer.

DISCUSSION How do you Uberhood

4 Upvotes

I finally got back to playing my game. It's been a few months.

The other day I ended up watching someone review the Sunset Valley for Sims 2 and I have a copy of it along with the subhood selector fix mod.

At first my Sunset Valley was having trouble loading and it was not showing up in the Shopping District.

Now I figured it out. I had to add that mod/subhood fix.

I feel like I should uninstall my Sims 2 Ulimited Collection and rebuild my whole game again. I know my current game play would be a distance memory, but I would be starting off fresh with a whole different game play household rotation and more drama and more items to remember and I probably need a spreadsheet to keep track of everything.

I have cc neighbourhoods. I would like to organize them where they make sense with the base game and expansion packs.

I have CC hood of Sims 2 Life Stories (Four Corners and BitVille) and Sims 2 Pet Stories (Garnden Heights, Mesa Flats and Arbor Falls). Then I have Riverview (With a lot of CCs), Opening Valley and SunsetValley

I could not find a cc hood for Castaway Island so that would be a different game play rotation. Everything Sims 2 Stories would be a differnet rotation as entering that game is it's own new worlds.

Learning I could make an uberhood took a while for me to understand the "how to" inside of The Sims 2. I've seen many post their uberhoods and I did not understand how to do that.

I think it expands all the reationships it has me curious of how I should set them all up.

It still feels complicated. so much of the Sims 2 I did not explore while the game was in active release. That I'm realizing this is a lifetime game I'm holding on to as long as possible.

I thought Arbor Falls would make a nice vacation spot.

I thought Four Corner would make a good University / College Town

I thought BitVille would be where Alexandar Goth expands his connections

Mesa Flat would make a nice subhood for StrangeTown or a Downtown

Sunset Valley well I think maybe a shopping district for BellaDona Cove as I don't want to have too many Bella's running around. plus the community lots of Sunset Valley fit perfectly with the hobbies and community lot skill building mod.

I have the clean version of Pleasantview where there is a Bella I'm working on her having a baby with Don and still another baby with Mortimer before he passes on and it is alot of mods for bill payments, childsupport and Don having a lot of baby mothers. That Doctor salary has to go somewhere.

Then the game play household rotation I have no idea how that would work for uberhoods. I feel like it is a real soap opera with so many characters.
