i have been playing with the clean ui for a month already, everything works fine just as i chose but for some reason the one thing not working is the CAS, regardless of the option i put in my downloads, it never works, the ui is there but its never adjusted for widescreen, what did i do wrong?
Não sei o que está causando isso, mas eles só pintam essa pintura.
Não é só com um sim, todos só pintam isso.
Queria saber se é algum CC, não aguento mais 😢.

Hello - I've gotten a new PC and been trying to figure out how to install Sims 2 Bodyshop but running into issues. The main method now seems to be using a MTS download, but it keeps triggering my anti-virus. Is this a false positive, or is the file actually dangerous and, if so, is there an alternative method that I can use or do I just have to bite the bullet and have no bodyshop (which sorta sucks as it has more options to customize sims than the game itself does)?
I downloaded SiMidge to flag duplicate meshes, but it won't open on Windows 11. I keep getting a "COM server is in use" error. I googled it, and all I could find were suggestions to close Microsoft Office in the background, but it's not running.
I'm confused. Could someone help? Some say this program is better than HcduPlus, while others say the opposite. I want to check if I have any duplicate meshes or defaults since I've been on a downloading spree...
No mods and CCs.
okay so i have a legacy collection of the game, and previously onedrive overwritten my uberhood save. it happened again, which i know is stupid of me because i was warned ! but i just can’t uninstall one drive due to it having most of my uni and personal files and stuff. so i heard there is kind of a way to backup your saves or make the files “read only”. is it actually effective? can i even do anything with one drive?? is there any alternatives ?
Idk why it doing this , I download it a week ago and everything was okay but today this happened someone can explain ? Thanks
I renovated Belladonna Cove (E001) without playing any households and backed up the folder. I use this folder to restart my gameplay whenever I want a fresh playthrough and it has always worked perfectly.
Recently after having frequent crashes I reinstalled the sims. I put my backed up E001 folder back in, but now the Neighborhood Story of Belladonna Cove is completely gone and also 2 subhood's Neighborhood Story in it (Downtown and Twikkii Island), even though this exact method used to work perfectly, even when i reinstalled the game or whatsoever.
I have no mods fyi. How can I fix this ? :<
I downloaded the textures and mods required to run banyard bash but these three objects are still blue, do you have a solution or should I do without them?
I cannot click this arrow on Neighborhood Stories. Any idea how to fix this??

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).
Hi, I downloaded a bunch of custom unnatural skins and have bee deciding which to keep, but have been procrastinating in the matter and playing with premade families instead while not being able to add Colleges or Vacation destinations to avoid getting random townies with any of the skins I might end up deleting.
Now, just checking something in SimPE I noticed this green NPC lol, my question is if his skin is deleted what will happen? and is there a way to give him a more human looking skin?
As an alternative, I don't really mind the green so I added a picture of sims DNA in case there's a way to tell which skin this one is so I could make sure his is among the ones I keep.
I can't remember the name of the mod that fixes the right edge of the selection box getting cut off. This screen shot is from the Legacy edition but I have the same problem in the Ultimate Collection.
I'm trying to have my sim marry a vampire, I've sent her downtown several times, no luck of a vampire spawning. It's a fully custom neighborhood, with all subhoods built from the ground up. I've added extra vampires to the hood via npc and townie maker, I added crypto night club to the hood even. I've seen one vampire show up on her first visit, but she's not into guys, but no luck since that night.
Could someone please walk me through this, I have them in my Neighbourhood Template folder, copied over from a backup, but only get the default options to use terrains?
Okay I’ve been tinkering away for HOURS trying to recover my TS2 Data files & CC/Mods, but I am getting absolutely nowhere & I need help.
I copied everything on my local drive after realizing it was auto being put on onedrive, which lead to incessant errors bc of maxing out on the free storage (5gb) & threatening to shut down my email unless I paid for extra storage (which made zero sense to me bc I have a 2tb hard drive??) & I was confused bc I never opted for my data to be put on there in the first place. I just got a new gaming laptop w Windows 11 & I guess it’s an automatic thing unfortunately?
When I deleted all the sims files off onedrive it wiped everything on the app, even though I still have the folders with saves & whatnot. I unsynced my laptop from onedrive, but now cannot seem to sync it back, to recover the recycling bin & access everything before the mishap.
I tried uninstalling & reinstalling TS2, I’ve tried moving files & folders around. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING has worked. I’m honestly okay with losing my save progress at this point (i was about 20 hrs into the beginning of my dream alien empire 🥺), but for some reason even though I’ve created a new downloads folder, it isn’t acknowledging any of my CC or mods & I am genuinely stumped.
FWIW, the folder since the reinstall are differently organized & do not look identical to the files/folders that I backed up.
I am just genuinely confused & I’m worried because of what happened I now might not even be able to mod the game anymore? Idk how that’s even possible.
If it’s helpful I can link photos of the folders (old ones that worked before onedrive copy & the. deletion ) & the new folders from the re-install.
My possible nuclear option is that I may end up having to completely wipe my new laptop & restart it & maybe that would work & id make sure it’s not synced to bs onedrive before downloading anything?
UPDATE: just realized that, for some reason, my sims 2 rpc was loading the legacy collection rather than the ultimate collection that i downloaded a few years ago. i just had to uninstall the osab version :( it was causing the game to crash
hello, everyone!
i just restarted my downloads folder, and i'm currently trying to configure it so that i can have teen pregnancy in my game.
i'm unsure about what i've missed, but i cannot find the RCC controller anywhere, there are no bed socials for teen woohoo, and every time i create a pregnancy with the simblender, it disappears almost immediately.
i would greatly appreciate the help! i ran it through simidge and saw no conflicts, and the hcdu just shows me the mods that impact each other. i tried to get the load order right, but i have attached a picture of my files below!
screenshot from my downloads folder!
thank you in advance for the help!! :)
i'm sure there's something i'm missing but i have no idea
Sorry, I'm having a hard time and the heat isn't helping.
I downloaded Banyard Bash pets, but some of the items are blue.
I also read about other mods that provide pets. What are your thoughts?
The heat isn't helping me think clearly.
Hi guys,
I recently got a new laptop and bought the Legacy Collection through Steam. I also downloaded SimPe for the first time in a decade.
I’m having an issue with SimPe not connecting to the file paths. I have seen other people online having the issue, but not a concrete, step by step solution.
I have tried filling out both System Folders and File Table manually under preferences, but it didn’t seem to work and then reset itself.
I believe I need to use the following file paths:
C:\users\myname\documents\ea games\the sims 2 legacy (which includes neighbourhoods and such)
And
C:\program files 86\steam\steamapps\common\the sims 2 legacy collection (which has the base game, expansion and stuff pack files)
Can anybody explain how to do this step by step? I must be missing something?
Any help is appreciated :)
