As someone stated above, it's a PITA to do that. There's literally thousands of outfits in the catalog.

I've got DR careers, clothes, the whole works, but I also plan on keeping them all in one folder exclusively for that game. It's taken me a number of years to get to where the game is looking wholly medieval but god, what a gorgeous neighborhood!


Guess I read that as having defaulted everything. Game doesn't look wholly medieval if you have townies running around in Maxis clothes. XD

Didn't stop them from having animals though. XD

I try to keep them out of town as much as possible. Zapped away instantly.

I'd say it's looking pretty damn medieval right now:

2."I'm going to Uni!" "Of course you are! You're a male!"

Why do so many 4t2 conversions have an LC_Sims4ShadowFile.package include?

Why is she panhandling with a knowledge aspiration failure?

Also, is that a pigeon coop mailbox?

There are literally 21 sims in the neighborhood (I've checked), 2 of which are playable. Could it have something to do with Sun&Moon's giving tree? It didn't work to force error on all with batbox, or removing a bunch of random objects with Charles' object editor.

I've discovered the culprit, this happens every time the game hobby instructor tells one of my sims they've maxed the interest. I have a mod that stops them from coming onto the lot, you just get the popup. But the terrible freezing happens again and again. And it takes a while until it disappears, cleaning and reloading the lot several times. Can you mod hobby instructors out completely?

Which mod?
This one? https://modthesims.info/d/622669/no-hobby-stalkers.html
Or maybe one of the listed mods in conflicts that does a similar thing?

I've tried Nopke's mod, and don't get any such issues, so I'd recommend that one if you're using a different mod.
Also, have you looked for conflicts?

She saw a death from fire and she's in aspiration failure. The mailbox is one of replacement covers for the mail box.

The issue is that panhandling is the Fortune aspiration failure action. A Knowledge sim should be talking to Professor von Ball. Is she perhaps Knowledge with a Fortune secondary or vice versa?

Normally, I'd agree, however, she does not have a secondary aspiration-She's a Virgo with a knowledge aspiration and Science OTH.

She stood as a witness in a literal conflagration that took the lives of two teen pixels.

I can't explain it either-but she was talking to Professor Von Ball during her breakdown on at least 3 occasions after that I saw.

She did eventually recover her wits. Her memory is of "having a complete mental breakdown"

Perhaps her entire personality got crushed by it so that she devolved into losing young ones as being a loss someone else's good fortune?

What reason that foods that use custom plates are not selectable for the cooking contest? (And way around it?) They don't appear in the dialog. Other contestants can submit them.

I've started to play Sims 2 after not playing for awhile so I have forgotten. How often should I delete the groups.cache and accessory.cache?

If you've used Bodyshop or Homecrafter, you'll also want to delete the "Contentregistry" file. The "Cigen" file can be useful if you're just using Bodyshop to make sims (has Bodyshop thumbnails), but if you edit textures or meshes and they don't update properly, this one can need deleting, too.

- If the game or Bodyshop doesn't want to run (Homecrafter can also be affected).
- If you've added or removed files in the Downloads folder (especially large download sprees/cleanouts)
- Every time you've edited CC files from your Downloads folder in SimPE - If you've used Bodyshop (especially if you're editing or making new files)
- Every time you've used the Compressorizer on files in your Downloads folder
- If you've removed or heavily edited CC sims are currently wearing or have tried on (removing/heavily editing hair/accessories can cause areas of "black writing/white background", and meshes/textures can show the old version or have "exploding morphs", until you take the sim to a mirror). Is often sim-spesific, so a sim you've used for all your testing can have all the issues (is fixed in a mirror), while a sim you've never put the item on can show perfectly fine.

Basically, if you've edited or removed files - always delete the caches. The cache files save some info of the old version of the item, and also saves it for the sims you've put the old version of the item on, and this info lags behind (mesh + texture in particular. Compressorized files, some mod edits, some OBJD edits, etc. can potentially cause crashes if cache files from before the edits are present).

... Or just to be on the safe side, every time you run TS2, Bodyshop or Homecrafter. The cache files can help a bit with loading speed, but if you use CC/mods, there's a high chance the cache files will cause trouble sooner rather than later, so most of the time it's probably not worth the trouble to keep them (at best I think I can keep them for 2-3 rounds of playing if I haven't touched any files, then the game/Bodyshop refuses to run - the Cigen file being the only exception, as I tend to keep that one if I load a lot of files into Bodyshop for sim-making).

Some people use empty files instead of deleting them.

How long does everyone set their seasons for? Mine are currently four days each to match my lifespan mod but I almost feel like that's not enough. If I have to face months and months of snow then my sims need to suffer enjoy it as well.

#35798 Old 29th Mar 2025 at 3:44 PM
I use the standard seasons - didn't know you could mod the length but I'm not surprised - but I vary the seasons available depending on the neighborhood. Based on my experience of life in a desert, Strangetown is summer/summer/summer/winter. I have a terraforming colony where all the seasons are a year long, so spring/spring/spring/spring, then change it to summer/summer/summer/summer and so on. Universities might be spring/spring/fall/fall or spring/fall/spring/fall, so as to maximize its effectiveness in the two purposes of university, finding love and gaining learning.

I have a mod just recently released that sets the seasons to four days, which is as close to the real length of seasons in the Northern Hemisphere.
