What do you do with Strangetown?

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

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!

In this video this video you'll see a quick overview of my custom neighbourhood! :))

Neighborhood disappeared

Hi I play a custom neighborhood that I built and made myself with no mods or cc on super collection for Mac and today my neighborhood is missing on the first screen , can you guys please tell me how to retrieve it back? I didn’t delete it or anything it’s just missing now for some reason

Edit: I did use boolprop and created a sim that might have corrupted my neighborhood because it disappeared after I sent him to college

Did you know Sims 2 templates are based on real life people around the world?

In case you didn't know this, The Sims 2 based its templates on real life people.

Sure, not every single person from the same place will look the same, or the exact same way, its just an approach.

Most of the pics are taken from Marticore's video, others have been taken by me (i apologize for the bright glitch i have in CAS). Real life pics are taken straight from free pics websites, istock and others.

This video is based both on an old post, and Marticore's video, the queen of sims 2 templates.

Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/sims2/comments/1cvauxk/question_about_default_maxis_face_templates/
Marticore´s video: https://youtu.be/kMd7JaPURYM

Some notes: some of this are not 100% sure to be from the specific place mentioned in the images, just speculations.

Yes, some of these templates are fictional like the elf one, or highly based on one specific tribe or ancient civilization.

Built my first ever house in TS2! I love this game!

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!

A core memory of sims from childhood that I remember

So i was only 8 years old when I was on the computer searching sims stories back in 2011-2012 came across this very old video of sims story fallen angel then in the video it shows two emo boys one was black haired wearing grey clothes and the other guy was brunette emo then I remembered in the video a girl with fallen angel wings had vampire teeth then she starts to bite one of the guys and they either die or become a vampire is what I remember them I remember another girl who killed another person and they were a vampire in the sims 2 story or I think it was 1 but yeah this has definitely become lost media cause I can't find this story anywhere and it brings nostalgia to me from childhood on YouTube

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

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?

My sim wants to flirt with her own baby????

Ignore the tragedeigh of a name, I couldn't think of anything so I named him after the last song I listened to. I also got a baby named Feel Good Inc.

As the title says. I've tried the batbox, HDCU, Hoodchecker, repairing the relationships in SimPE, rerolling wants, she still really wants to flirt with her newborn son! This isn't the first sim this has happened to; another sim kept wanting to flirt with his son until I eventually killed him bc it was giving me the creeps. Both were romance sims, so I think this is a glitch specifically with romance sims who have children, but I'd rather they didn't manifest their perma-lust into incestrous noncery

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

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.

Do not use Pleasant Sims website - it is infected with Malware

Please do not use Pleasant Sim's website as it has been compromised. It is using a fake CloudFlare verification that will install malware onto your PC!

We know the initial reaction is to go and have a look for yourself out of curiosity but please do not do it. If you follow the instructions on the page you will install malware onto your PC.

If you ever see the below picture, do not do it

We know this isn't the usual post from us, but since the website is so widely used as a resource for Sims 2 content, we thought it was important to share.

If you have a free moment, you can help try to get this sorted by reporting it to Google here and, not that they can do much about it really, but CloudFlare here.

Thanks to u/MediocrePear6628 for the heads up!

A couple of these are still available in ModTheSims but the full collection was only available in the author's website, which has been down since 2009 at least.
