I remember how broken-hearted I was when I realized political crap was just as rampant at MTS as in the "real world"... there is no "safe place".

Are you saying reading the Overruling™ Rule® That Overrules All Rules And Other Stuff Too didn't make you realize it already?

(emphasis mine)

Can we get an advanced warning if anyone's going to go through and delete Chris Hatch's links? He's posted a lot of really useful things, and since he's apparently gone inactive, they could be lost forever.

It would be cool if someone make decoration, sculptures, clutter,...related to Oceanography career for SIMS 2

The unclog toilets conversation in discovered-thread made me think of the big screen floor-standing TV. It can break, but the repair interaction is broken. Would be neat if someone figured out how to fix the interaction so it can be repaired when it breaks. I took a stab at it once but it was too complicated for me.

yes, I SO HATE how terrain paint works in ts2! The edges are just weird because of the click system, and it's so hard to make a natural looking path or terrain that I usually don't bother at all!

One of my Sims kids is looking for bugs, and their face when they don't find one is heartbreaking. They look so sad! And it does seem to strike out a lot more than it succeed. I usually do most things in game at least once, but never even got close to collecting all bugs because meh. Would be neat if the chance was a little higher so I didn't have to watch them suffer as much

Is this the tv?

Nope That one the repair interaction works. The huge screen one, I wanna say 3 tiles? I think it came with FT or AL.

It's GiganTek Home Theatre Television (OBJD- name Television-Floor-Home-Theatre). It's Repair interaction is indeed broken no Pie Meny item Repair, incomplete SLOT-file.and CRES.

I think it would be neat if there was a mod to have that sims 4 feature where getting promoted will give you lil knick-knacks related to the career to put in your house. It would be pretty cute how your sims' house slowly gets more and more character as the businessman gets office supplies and the movie star gets posters of their films

I would like a fix to some car windows, including the school bus and other NPC vehicles.
example:"
This is some official CC car I think and is done right


This car is included in the game and is missing windows from inside

Like more career rewards?

Kinda, more like something that's implied with Alexandra O'Mackey, where a sim brings home some small thing related to their career (like a themed lamp or wall deco) in their inventory, maybe upon promotion

I wish I could have the repairman come over every day like the maid.

I dont know if such thing exists. I want MAKEUP KIT as FUCNTIONAL OBJECT. That when you click on it you get option to change your look. It also would be cool if such object could be used from sims inventory.

Sounds like your households must be a bit of a disaster area! I've never exactly measured it, but I reckon my Sims call the repairman about once a fortnight or so. Which is still quite a lot compared to real life, but somehow manageable. Most of my Sims usually do plumbing repairs themselves, but call in a professional for anything electrical. This helps build up their mechanical skill, while keeping them safe from electrocution. One thing that does, I'm sure, make a big difference in my game is that I have Pescado's plumbing-lessbreaking. This doesn't stop plumbing breaking, but it happens much less often. I have a feeling that this mod may never have been updated for the later EPs. Maybe somebody would like to try it out and see if it works. It it does need updating, maybe one of the current crop of active modders (kestrellynn?, midgethetree?, simler 90?) might be interested. It's a small simple-looking mod, so I wouldn't think it would be too difficult, and IMHO, it makes the game a lot more enjoyable. It doesn't take long for the novelty of watching a Sim getting soaked while trying to mend a broken tap, to wear off!

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into that mod.

Some of my bigger multifamily residences have a lot of bathrooms, and something always seems to be broken. Usually I'm doing something when I hear the toilet backed up sound and can't be bothered to have someone go plunge it right away, and then I forget which toilet it was. I also absolutely hate it when the sink is spewing water everywhere. Other times I just don't notice that something, like the dishwasher, is broken. So it would be nice to have a handyman stroll through these properties once a day and take care of anything that needs doing. Like a super.

Christianlov had a mod that let you assign jobs to Sims, and they'd come over at a set time to garden/repair/clean etc. That might work for you, assuming it's compatible with AL.

Thank you for this! While searching for this, I also found the Sim Control Tool, which is just the thing I didn't know I needed for my large households.

I'd like to see a hack that makes witch spells autonomous, just for laughs (likely not possible but hey, it's for laughs!). Could you imagine playing and then a random witch just Tabula Rasa'd your Sims memories away? Or you see a bunch of Sims being chased by bees or something

Fyren5, that's the exact thing I hate about TS3!

There my sim was, minding her own business, a new sim to the hood out in town. I thought she'd meet people, check out the fortune teller, etc., you know? And then some fairy came over and just randomly decided to turn her into a toad. They had not met. They were not enemies. Just random toadification. After this happened a second time in a completely different save, that's when I decided fairies weren't allowed to be populated. Maybe I just need to find a mod, but definitely my current sims are not equipped to handle that kind of situation. And it's not like you can just pop over to the store and buy a cure. Oh no, you have to wait for it to be in stock. And who knows if my sim could even afford it!

So in TS2, sure, I probably wouldn't mind if the evil head witch occasionally made some townies act like chickens or whatever. But if she cast Tabula Rasa or Extractum Amorus on one of my playables, I'm not gonna lie, I'd be pretty pissed. Tabula Rasa in particular is irreversible, too, right?

Ya'll are too nice. I have been know to use cheats to make things dirty, and broke. And give them roaches.

No, we definitely don't want any witchcraft in our game!

General Buzz Grunt, Officer Commanding the military base in Strangetown agrees with me. He says, "Burn them!"

(Buzz thinks that Olive is a witch.)
