Travels cost a lot more than you'd think! This trip went for a total of $17,260!

Sims 2 sims are such complex creatures in ways I haven't seen in the other sims games. I can't stop thinking about how when Penny and Hamilton caught Rhett and Sandy cheating on them together (Penny being with Rhett and Sandy with Hamilton) Penny literally invited herself over a little bit later, invited herself in, just barged into the house, and kissed Hamilton! And Sandy saw. Like Penny was doing it for revenge! She wasn't interested in Hamilton in the slightest before from what I could tell.

Edit: Ya know, I don't remember Penny crying like some of the other sims (over the cheating). She doesn't cry, she gets revenge. That's interesting.

"Revenge is a dish best served cold" -Klingon Proverb.

I think Penny agrees with that saying.

Actually, the Klingons did not first say that phrase-as it is very old.

"The origin of the expression, “revenge is a dish best served cold,” comes from French author Eugène Sue and his novel, “Memoirs of Matilda. “The English translation of the work by D. G. Osbourne, published in 1846, has the phrase appear as follows. “And then revenge is very good eaten cold, as the vulgar say.”
But the modern reference is from this:
Star Trek II, The Wrath of Khan (1982) is the first use of the modern phrase, “Kirk, old friend, do you know the Klingon proverb, “Revenge is a dish best served cold?”

I'm picky when it comes to quotations and their references.
Sorry.

I've been taken away from playing TS2 for now by the discovery of a MSE issue whee it was last updated in June and had not updates at all since then and it's been failing to correctly identify files as clean or infected.One download from here got flagged recently as infected by MSE and I suspect it was falsely flaggged.I've begin looking for a free virue prection softare to replace MSE unitl I can get a paid replacement.I want to get back to my game so I have to find something soon.

Avast works for me. It does what it does and doesn't seem to bother me too much about Sims files unless they come from real shady sites. Nothing from MTS though.

Ah but who did Eugène Sue get it from? The Klingons, maybe!

Avast was one of the options I had downloaded an offline installer for the free version since I don't have a way of paying for anything online.It alos looks like MSE mist've updated a fixed update though I can't be sure of that yet.I might be able to get back into playing my game though not for today because I have shopping to do because I'm almost out of milk.

Every time I go on a extended hiatus from The Sims, someone comes out with a life-changing mod. Last time it was the Story Progression mod. Now, it's new Lifetime Wants and Make Everything Shiftable mods.

I really don't have the time to load up the game, but I want to start a brand new Pleasantview to fool around with the new mods.

The modders are simply clever and amazing they always make the sims 2 fresh and new.

@monijt1 -You're not alone in starting up a brand new Pleasantview game as I've been setting up a Pleasantview terrain map for my Pleasantview Epic Challenge and all of the new releases are being used except the story progression Mod since My current story progression which is shipped with the game already works very well and my own modification is already a great improvement and made even better with the ability to choose lifetime wants now in the game.My pleasantview is starting out with it's colonial rigins about 420 years in the past when it was first settled at the turn of the 17th century.

I never tire of the R&B channel on the radio

Dixie Dixie by Prescott from the sims 2 country station. That song I DO like. Not only is it funny, it makes me dance to it. And here's a fun fact. There is no original song based off this so the only version of this song is in simlish.

I think I Played Chicken with the Train is pretty funny too in Simlish. Tbh, all the country music is funny. Kind of irritating that they mixed Bluegrass and pop country together into the same station though, but that's just my OCD.

This is one of my favorites from sims 2, and it brings back a lot of memories: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-fYFcRuBUg
I love this one too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acJUnTirwU8 Also all r&b music

I love Family Sims

I finally decided to separate my normal game from my projects and other stuff into folders. I had forgotten the feeling of the game loading in seconds.

I just did a calculation and I've built around 668 lots in my current hoods.

Showing off a nice horizon I got from Criquette.

That's a pretty scene @pianogrinder !

That's a very lovely one-is it something he had in his downloads on his Simblr?
Because I looked and couldn't find it-I'm interested in it.

There were four of them from Criquette. Somebody archived them.

Way back before there were console and PC video games, in the 80's there was D&D and monopoly. The main attractions in our neighborhood. Yup I was an 80's teenager

Just had one of the strangest bugs I've had in my game -- well, the bug itself wasn't too strange, but the solution was. Every time the game tried to spawn the penguin, it would throw a "slot number out of range" error until I deleted it, and nothing was showing up when I ran the error log through WhatCausedThis. I decided to check if I could summon the penguin with the simblender and when I clicked through the summon menu, instead of "NPC - Penguin" it was showing up as the name of a specific CC end table from a 3t2 bedroom set I'd downloaded. Deleted the end table, and the penguin worked. But why on earth would a table overwrite the penguin? I would never have guessed in a million years that that would be the problem. IDK, I thought it was funny how random the conflicts in this game can be.
