They can break the robot, and if that happens it throws sparks and makes the kid cry.



But a sim (or repairman, or landlord) can fix it.

This is sad, but I discovered that a pet can pass away while they are missing after they have run away, and then the policewoman will return the pet's grave. This has never happened in my game before, but it just happened to the Goths.

That happened to one of my pets while I was testing my roach mod. My elder feline tester ran away and I then found his grave at the edge of the lot. I was a terrible pet owner.

WooHoo and the City, with many easter eggs that only long-time Sims 2 players will get!

That was fun, and she really looked a lot like Sarah Jessica Parker.

Not what can happen in an unmodified game, but the restaurant waiter can and will snatch coffee mugs being prepared by the bartender. And deny customers caffeine...

Ooh. Why does your bar have extra drink options?

I find that 2 pixels who are cheaters at chess and married to other cheaters, cheat at chess with each other!

"Hey, you're CHEATING!" "So were you!"

Instantly makes me think of the villain getting out-cheated in The Sting (1973) "WHAT was I supposed to do?! Call him out for cheatin' better than me in front of the others!?"

I was really excited to find that a design bit that I thought for sure would be a routing issue actually works just fine! The AL edging can apparently run right through the middle of the 2-tile mullioned colonial archway and Sims can still walk through it.

I had the unfortunate (and very startling) attack of 'pink soup' last night in my game-it occurred when I sent a pixel to a community lot populated by the 'rideable' horses by Rebakah which had been seemingly updated by Chris Hatch.

When the game returned to home, (I have the Community Lot Time' in game) there was pink flashing all over that lot, which was extremely upsetting because I've not had this ever happen with this computer. The graphics card is more than adequate to run the game.

I exited, immediately went into SimPE and supposedly deleted the lot from the game. Checking to make sure it was indeed deleted with the Sims 2 Clean Installer (supposedly) I returned to the home lot and found everything was back to normal. I also deleted all the items attached to the horses, just to make sure this would never happen again.

Those rideable horses are just not problematic-they're fatally flawed. I would recommend to not use them under any circumstances.

Correction: 'delete lot' in SimPE is a misnomer. It does not remove the lot from a neighborhood-I had to bulldoze it from the neighborhood view to completely get rid of it.

It's the only way to completely and finally remove a problematic lot.

The horses (and other rideable/movable animals and items based on the RC toys or robots) add NPCs to the game, so make sure you properly clean out those as well, otherwise you could risk some issues in the neigborhood (or other neighborhoods where you've used the horses).

Pink flashing can happen even if the card is more than good enough. Could be limitations of the game combined with GraphicRules settings and various other issues in the setup. Or it could simply "the game hit a temporary memory snag" with some or another combination of CC items, a large CC-heavy lot, heavy snow, or what have you.

Oh, I know enough to keep the NPC (Vicky) that was generated with the horses in the folder no matter what else I did, because removing that can cause corruption.

Once generated, never deleted. The items it originated from were deleted. The lot was bulldozed.

I just checked to make sure of that.

It doesn't matter at all whether you use objects that use NPCs in them or not. They have the same effect on your neighborhood when you load the neighborhood with the NPC installed in your game, regardless of whether you actually use the objects or not.
