Which food from the Sim 2/3 have you always wanted to try because it looks so good? As a cliché American it’s always been the cheeseburgers from Sims 2 & 3. I’ve always wanted to reach into the screen and grab one. 😂
Oliva Kapitha lives at a senior retirement village in my desert downtown, Pandora. It has nice, weather year-round and a variety of things to do! She was an executive chef and Pandora is a hot spot for great food, which she really appreciates! The Hortchata Village is right next to a Bingo Hall where Olivia goes on Tuesdays. It services her contemporaries, they all love a good bingo and the variety of food they can get there.
There's also a bowling alley, which can do a number on their joints, so she makes sure to invite buddies that take their vitamins. In addition to bowling it has karaoke, and also a small pottery studio she can use to work on some badge skills she wants to achieve in her leisurely retirement time.
She also wants to write a novel, it's never too late to start!
Maybe I’m Crazy but I have never had a male service sim dressed in this outfit.
Also I do play with Kaylynn so she isn’t a maid anymore but I haven’t had any other maid besides this guy!!! I usually will see Lucy or Remington. I haven’t gotten either in any of my homes
Am I crazy??
I do not have any mods or anything that impacts the service sims.
I play on Sims 2 Ultimate Collection on Mac
This is the 2003 3D version of the 1992 Maxis logo; which is seen on SimCity 4, The Sims Bustin' Out, The Urbz: Sims in the City, and on The Sims 2 all the way up to the Pets expansion (these screengrabs are from YouTube videos). For some odd reason, it was never added to The Sims Superstar, The Sims Makin' Magic or The Sims Complete Collection. From The Sims 2 Seasons onwards, EA just took out the Maxis logo entirely and pretended that Maxis didn't exist; up until SimCity 2013. Looking back, though I didn't really notice it then, it's kinda strange how EA Games got updated with new CGI-animated logos during the 2000s, while all Maxis got was a static image, even though that image got updated in 2003. But on the other hand, I do wish that the Maxis logo didn't get taken out from the later years of The Sims or The Sims 2 onwards. The Legacy releases don't ship with the Maxis logo, and The Sims Legacy Collection is (for now) still stuck with the bland 2005 "generic" EA logo as opposed to the 2006 "Sims" EA variant that debuted on The Sims 2 Glamour Life Stuff and is still there on The Sims 2 Legacy Collection. Does anyone know of any mods that can reinsert the static 2003 Maxis logo into The Sims 2 Legacy Collection?
For now, SimCity 4 Deluxe Edition on EA App is the only game that keeps the static 2003 Maxis logo (albeit in a much smaller size than on The Sims 2), though I wish there was also an animated Maxis variant for SimCity 4 and The Sims series. Does anyone know of any SimCity 4 or Sims 2 mod that can not only skip the static Maxis logo, but can additionally also replace the EA Games logo video with a new video file (in 640x480 or anamorphic 4:3 720x480 30fps with uncompressed stereo audio) for both the EA Games and Maxis logos?
If someone could actually make an animated version of the 2003 Maxis logo with 2000s-era reminiscent CGI graphics, I'd really love to see it in the Sims series games. I think I could've seen these variants pop up if EA had allowed Maxis to animate their own logos back then:
Main variant (for SimCity 4; following the 2003 EA Games logo): Begin with a detailed starfield similar to the one on the 1997 Streets of SimCity variant (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=flWSDOea_VQ). Zoom out to reveal the bottom right corner of a dark moon-like planet, which zooms out to the center of the screen. As the planet settles into position, the translucent letters of "MAXIS" zoom out and spin into position. As the letters assume their spot in front of the planet, a flare appears from the top left of the planet and flashes the entire screen, blurring the entire scene as the starfield fades to black and the letters turn opaque. The scene unblurs as the light from the flash dims down to reveal the 2003 Maxis logo as the trademark symbol ™ fades in on the right side of the "S". The flare and the letters shine as the logo either remains bylineless or the byline "Maxis™ is an Electronic Arts™ brand." (in the same font as used in SimCity 4; written in whatever locale the game is launched in) fades in below. The soundtrack for the main variant can be a series of whoosh sounds combined with a low ethereal hum and an explosion sound effect for the flare; or it can have these sound effects play directly on top of a majestic reorchestration of the fanfare from the 1993 SimCity 2000 variant (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0b5INSyASo).
Short variant (for SimCity 4 or The Sims; following the EA Games logo): Same as the main variant, except the animation is sped up and the logo begins as the "MAXIS" letters start zooming out. The soundtrack for this variant can be just the whoosh, hum and explosion sound effects, the sound effects played over a shortened and sped up arrangement of the 1993 fanfare (cut down to the last ten notes), or one of the sounders from the 2001 EA Games/Maxis logo combo variants from The Sims House Party (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3rY1r6bdVs) or The Sims Hot Date (short version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ye-JQ_BkXZk).
The Sims Hot Date variant (for The Sims): The 2002 EA Games "Challenge Everything" logo plays as normal, but then the logo flashes to white and segues directly to an updated version of the special animation that plays at the beginning of The Sims Hot Date (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bw8Irpyq-M), with an updated night sky, backlit 3D trees, the moon glowing faintly and the Sims kissing being moonlit. As the Sims kiss, a comet streaks the sky and begins to touch the top left corner of the moon, at which point a flare appears from the top left of the moon and flashes the entire screen white, transitioning directly to the end result of the short variant of the Maxis logo as the flash dies down. The soundtrack for this variant is the same unabridged sounder from the original Hot Date animation.
The Sims 2 variant (for The Sims 2): The 2006 "Sims" variant of the EA logo plays as normal, but then the logo flashes the screen green and transitions directly to the end result of the short variant of the Maxis logo as the flash dies down. The soundtrack for the Maxis portion of this variant should be the final few seconds of the Timos Maas remix of The Sims 2 theme song (https://youtu.be/LpxnAhHsyMs?si=GJnzhlsqUEDpflmE&t=317).
Has anyone ever had a Sim in The Sims 2 get a WANT for someone to die? Not to see a ghost, but specifically for someone’s death? Maybe in the early expansions? Someone on X / Twitter had it happen. Fulfilling this want gives +10,000 aspiration points. The want is also shown on a red background, the same way fears are displayed. And judging by the screenshot, the player doesn’t have the FreeTime expansion installed, since there’s no lifetime aspiration meter in the UI.
I love this cutscene so much :3
Alexander Goth is a proud dad now XD
Imma try do the same, having TS2 salsa station playing in loop all day to feel like a sim😂
excuse the horrible phone photo but im actually shocked that the game could generate such a pretty sim???? maybe its the default hair doing the heavy lifting but still
btw, these sims graduated college, and they are staying in the bin, and I don't know what should I do with them? maybe turn them into townies or something? also, I am making a 2026 Edition of the Sims 2 Megahood.
This is an article that I originally wrote 4 years ago (Ugh, time certainly flies), but as part of our site's anniversary we've just put it through a massive revamp; we've cleaned up the text a bit, added in and fixed some pictures, and even given it a custom design to the article to try and help it feel more fitting to the actual game itself ~~plus I finally had an excuse to fix the URL because I originally misspelt "bizarre" as "bizzare" and it's been annoying me all this time~~.
Hopefully this is okay to share here and, if you choose to have a look, I really hope that you enjoy it.
So I am tryuing to build a curved roof on my trailer. I am following tutorial that can be find on yt. Yt tutorial don't show it on fundation and with windows but I decided to give it a try. The roof is fine unitl I save the game. As you can se on the photo the roof is curved correctly but the windows and doors are off. When I do it on second level it's the same but windows are higher. Maybe someone know a better trick for this?

have you ever dissociated watching tv in your home located in riverblossom hills while your skirt awkardly clips through your hands and fancy couch?
