My sim was announcing her pregnacy and camera panned to her but she stayed skinny and it kept positing the camera to her when i unpaused AND she was constant state of almost announcing the preg so she couldn't do any other action. I tried to fix this with force error but but it didnt work. HELP
Hi all! I downloaded the updated version from March 2025 via ModtheSims and placed in my Downloads folder but am not seeing anything in the pie menu. I enabled testing cheats though I wasn't sure if it's needed and still see nothing.
I have a small amount of CC that works fine, and no other mods in my Sims 2 Legacy collection folder.
Can anyone confirm if it is just supposed to appear in the pie menu clicking any sim? Do I need to use any additional steps to make it work? I tried shift+click and that too, doesn't offer anything other than the usual Debug, selectable features.
Otherwise, any additional ideas what the issue may be?
Update: Downloaded from a new link and got it working. Thank you!
I entered a lot just fine today, but when I loaded up the next one, all lots in the hood ended up with the camera all crazy like this. The lot objects are responsive, but I can't really zoom in on it properly. The only one that works normally is one that is inhabited by sims and playable. This just feels extremely random and I feel quite distressed ):
I use GunMod Camera mod 3.1 since many years and everything was fine until now. Please can anyone help?
My sim is stuck in action of shooing people away, but she's the only one in the lot. I sold the community lot and everything in the shop, but she still can't get out. Please, help. I'm new to the game and I don't know how to fix this.
I bought my wife The sims 2 legacy collection on steam on it's release, she played a bit and came back just recently, now when she opens the game she gets this error, we already deleted the caches and did a clean reinstall, nothing worked so far. Help?
Just trying to load up today and the game keeps terminating with this message.
It was working fine yesterday!
Hello! ^_^
I want to start this off by saying I'm definitely not the most tech savvy person, so I wouldn't be surprised if I made a simple mistake along the way because this is kind of my first time downloading stuff like this.
I followed the wiki instructions with downloading the UC edition, 4GB patch & the Graphics rules maker. I also downloaded the RPC launcher, but every time I launch the game (with AND without RPC) it crashes with no error popup or anything.
Basically, the opening sequence runs smoothly & just fine until it gets to the loading screen. I watch it load almost all the way to the end and it just closes my game!
Every. Time. !!!
My computer is Windows 11, and I've even tried updating my computer. It's slightly old, but I don't think that really has anything to do with it. Any help is appreciated! I'm just so at a loss after everything I've tried.
I’ve had this problem constantly in my game! I am redoing a prebuilt nightlife house and removed the connecting stairs that were there. Now it won’t let me place new ones. It says can’t place step?? What’s weird is it had the green outline (like how if furniture was intersecting a wall it’d be red) so surely you can place it but when I click it won’t allow it.
I don’t get how there were stairs there before that I now can’t replace. And also if I can’t place them why is it green!! Like I say I have this problem all the time w connecting stairs. Would rly appreciate some help! <3
heres how my mods folder is set up. theyre not showing up in my game despite enabling them and resetting my pc.
sorry if i missed something obvious, but i checked the wiki and nothing seemed to solve the problem im having. i downloaded the torrent recommended here so it might be specific to it.
Hello everyone,
This pop up is coming up every 10 seconds! My sim has never interacted with Malcolm before. Tried restarting my game but it keeps popping up, making the game basically unplayable :( any ideas for this one?
In desperate need of Mods
Hey guys!
I have some mods in mind, but I can't seem to find anything like them. I tried to do them myself, but it is waaaay too complicated for me. So I'm hoping someone could help me out?
I came up with a system where, each season, my Sims have a challenge/objective based on their One Hobby, but some interactions don't give the enthusiasm I expected, or none at all.
So I would like to have:
- Water balloon fights to give sports enthusiasm
- Bowlig to give sports enthusiasm
- Building a snowman to give nature enthusiasm
- Snowball fights to give sports enthusiasm
I also tried this mod: https://heathensimmer.tumblr.com/post/798681499023147008/functional-microscope-updated-with-3t2-traits - but I don't use 3t2 traits, and I believe my Sims reset because of that and can't use it. I tried to look for the part where it checks the traits, but I couldn't find it.
I was also trying to find a chemistry table that gives science enthusiasm, because the biotech station is too serious for my teen sims to use.
I would really appreciate it if someone could help me, or just point me towards somewhere they can.
Thank you so much, and happy Simming!
how do I make the terrain perfectly fine? well I use an apartment though, which is a stupid thing to make... what should I do?
Hi everyone :D,
I’m having a issue with a custom content eyebrow I made, it looks normal before i import it but after i import it, the quality drops significantly, it looks incredibly blurry, and it even
makes the eyes look blurry and low quality too.
I am running the game on Windows 11 with a modern graphics card. I use Paint.NET to draw the eyebrows
The right one is mine and the left one is from another CC i downloaded.
Has anyone encountered this texture blurriness issue with custom makeup or eyebrows before? Is there a fix?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!^^
The picture basically says it all. For some reason when I get my sims to travel to community lots, the hobby stealth hoods appear in the ‘Neighborhoods’ list three times. One of them isn’t functioning correctly and when I get my sim to travel to it, it takes them to a completely empty residential lot (as in there’s a mailbox as opposed to a phone booth). The other two hoods work fine tho but the game treats the lots in there like completely different lots as if they’ve been duplicated (Like if I had a sim go to Platinum Gym and chose the option to go to another community while I’m there, the same lot will appear in the duplicate hood and the sim can actually travel to).
The issue also only seems to affect one neighborhood too (Pleasantview) and when I opened another hood to test it out, the duplicated don’t exist so I’m doubting that this was caused by a mod. Personally this isn’t, like, a huge issue for me cuz I could just avoid the empty lots (they have a different thumbnail than their functional counterparts), but I’m wondering if this is a sign of corruption?
So I’ve turned to ChatGPT to solve my problems, so I’m really desperate because I hate using AI. But I’ve been struggling for months with trying to get my CC to show up in game. I use Steam for The Sims 2 Legacy Collection.
This is the issue that I typed for CHATGPT:
I’m trying to download custom content into my Sims 2 Legacy Collection game, and even after me making a downloads folder with a capital “D”, unzipping the files, and enabling custom content into my game it still won’t show. I have a Lenovo: ThinkPad computer and I found the “Sims 2 Ultimate Collection” folder and made the Downloads folder. Alongside the Downloads folder is a “Game Files” folder, instructions.txt, oldgamesdownload.com.url, and a “Redlist” folder. I don’t know if that’s the right location for custom content, because my custom content won’t appear in game.
When I told it my issue it’s saying I’m putting it in the wrong place and that I’m putting my Downloads folder in the game location area. So the next solution I think of is to go into Steam where I run the game, click on settings and putting it in the game files, but when I tell CHATGPT that it still says it’s in the wrong place.
Second issue I typed for CHATGPT:
In the files on Steam for the Sims 2 Legacy Collection I click on settings, then “manage” then clicked on “browse local files” then I see app, .local, share, Steam, steamapps, common, then “The Sims 2 Legacy Collection” at the top of the folders and in the folders I see 3314070_install.vdf, Base, EP1-EP9, instal SP1-SP7, and Suppprt. Is this the right place to put the downloads for The Sims 2 Legacy Collection on Steam?
Apparently, this is still the wrong place to put my downloads folder for CC and that’s the games program files…it keeps telling me to look for an EA games folder, The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection folder, or The Sims 2 Legacy Collection folder in Windows (meanwhile I don’t have Windows). Don’t have the EA games folder, and when I put it in the other 2 folders ChatGPT told me it was wrong. I’ve been trying to get my CC to work now and it’s irritating because I’m lost and confused now. Please help!
I downloaded the Ultimate Townie Replacement but I wanted to change the character's names so they match my language, except, I wanted all the newly created neighborhoods to maintain these new names, instead of going back to the old ones and having to repeat the process. Is there a way to do it?
So i downloaded the GRF from the wiki here and i was wondering if i can change the resolution settings by editing it? currently the UI is so tiny i actually cant play and i want to change it to 1366 x 786.
It started out working fine, then one day (after paying rent?) sims stopped being able to access the mailbox. The bills and coupons just get left on the side of the road. The only CC I have is this caravan lot (since the maxis one is broken), something that stops cats throwing up (called NoPetsNoPuke, something that allows the barista stand to be used on home lots (I made a cat cafe earlier), and now Batbox. Also I’m using the steam version of the Sims 2 (legacy edition I believe it’s called)
Image 1: The bills stacking up
Image 2: Coupon on the side of the road because the mailman doesn’t put stuff in the mailbox
Image 3: The speech bubble when she’s trying to pay the bills but is blocked by something
Image 4: Batbox not having a delete bills option
Things I’ve tried:
-Resetting the mailbox and the bills
-Moving the mailbox and bills with move object (I am unable to)
-Moving the sim around different points of the mailbox using moveobjects to see if she can access it from a different location
-Installing batbox to use the “delete bills” option, it is not there
-Tried paying via phone or PC but I do not have the option to do so
Sadly none of this has worked. Is she destined to go to war with the repo man?
I recently had a bug in the game related to the toilet bowl. My sim can't flush it or clean it at all, when I press flush or clean the toilet, he stands up straight and doesn't do it and because of this the toilet gets dirty.
I have mods and cc and I know that this bug maybe caused by a conflict of mods, but I want to know your opinion and other solutions to the problem
