Hi all,

I've recently restarted playing the sims 2 again for the first time in close to 15 years and loving it.

I've been playing vanilla so far but now want to try adding some mods again. As a teenager threw a bunch into my downloads folder and completely destroyed my game lol. So this time I have been doing research for days on which ones I want and how to best incorporate them.

I thought I'd now throw it to you guys to get your advice. I've "narrowed" my list down to 135 with at least 50 of them being absolute musts so I'm wondering if there's a best way to check mod compatibility of all of them all at once?

I've heard of HCDU, What Caused This, 50/50, Delphy's Download Organiser but I'm not really sure what the difference is or which one/s I need.

Do I need SimsPE or Sims2Pack Clean Installer?

I would also probably like to use The Compressorizer to keep file sizes at a minimum but I'm unsure what step of the process I need to use this in?

Any advice? I'm happy to share the list too if people would just like to look at it. I know some of you have 300+ mods so chances are some of you are using close to the same combination.

Also note: I'm playing Legacy Collection on Steam and I use the boolProp testing cheats and other common cheats often (like forcetwins, motherlode, moveObjects etc).
