It's awful when you have to wait for the additional storage to set up an old computer as a VM like I do with my HP after the network card began dying on it.It looke like more hardware might be going on it soon.

How many hours a day does he spend on the phone? I have a glitch with the slow time controller that muliplies STR decay 4x (!) and even with hacks that limit it to certain days of the week it's easier to just have a few friends.

Trying to get rid of a flu epidemic is like playing whack-a-mole, especially during wedding season. (I don't have Grandma's Comfort Soup in my game, alas.)

SimWardrobe has a sprayer that can clean up both sick Sims and the sickness tiles on a lot.

God, my sims get sick from roaches so often. It's so easy for trash cans to get knocked over just out of my view, and BOOM, swarms of roaches. Or for an evil witch to summon them on a community lot, which basically means Forever Roaches unless I dedicate precious community lot time to cleaning them up.

I think my least favorite things about TS2 are the ones that are much harder to mod out. Annoyances like the above are frustrating but as someone pointed out already, most people have come up with fixes for them in the past 20 years, and it's the irritating little quirks that are part of the games charm for me (until/unless I get fed up with them lol). The rigid gender mechanic is so difficult to mod, it means you can never really play nonbinary sims.

On a more personal, petty level, I can't believe that if you accidentally build something as a community lot and you want to change it to residential, there is just no fix for that. It doesn't happen to me often, but I ruined a build the other day because I chose the wrong category. Someone used to have a buyable mailbox mod, but from what I can tell the link to download is lost to the void, and i have seen some people say it didn't work right after AL.

If you have M&G, I made this one:

Funny, I just linked someone else to that today, too! The issue with the mailboxes is that M&G introduced recolours for the mailbox, if you use an old buyable mod then the recolourability won't work.

This is excellent work, I really appreciate it. I've been hunting for something like this for a while now, I can't thank you enough

Years ago, I had a massive flu outbreak in my game and it took literal weeks of real life time to knock it all out. The next time it happened, someone recommended some mod for genie cheats that has a cure all sickness in hood wish. I had something like 130 sims who were sick. Now I won't leave a household until everyone is healthy.

@LimeyYoshi has an antibodies hack which should prevent Sims in the household from constantly re-infecting each other.

I started a new hood using no20khandouts so all my young adults have to move to low-income apartments after graduation (unless they move back in with their parents). Found out today that the only unoccupied suite in the building doesn't have a door connecting the actual apartment to the bathroom. Guess I'll have to wait until everyone else moves out before I can fix the building.

On a related note, I forgot the bathroom altogether in one of the other suites while I was building it and had to squish one in last-minute. So maybe this is progress...?
