It looks a lot more like chicken from a different angle. There's a drumstick and I think a thigh.

Thanks. Sometimes it's hard to tell from those images.

Download the expansion pack-compatible version. AL = Apartment Life, OFB = Open For Business, FT = FreeTime etc etc

AL = Apartment Life

Uni = University
NL = Nightlife
OFB = Open For Business

and so on.

If your intention is to randomly kill off sims, and I'm not saying you are, (nice use of a Grim's quote, dontcha think? I would use the lemonade stand, wait for a random sim to buy a (drugged) drink, then drag him off to where ever, you would not only fulfill your want to do evil, you could make a little money at the same time.

my questions about Townie/NPC selection and moving out; did some testing last night. no one moved out with just 1 Townie and/or just 1 NPC selected. moving out successful with 2 from same household selected. did not test with other playables.

what are the chances of Satellite without cheats/hacks/mods? I know it comes with the ground type of Stargaze and/or with "Watch Clouds".
and does it occur to just characters that do either interaction or could it occur with anyone? again without cheats/hacks/mods.
and are there any kind of limit/limits in which the death occurs (time, needs, mood, etc)? again without cheats/hacks/mods.

Cyjon did careful studies of both death and matters of chemistry in Sims 2. Here is the one on death, which I think will answer your questions above.

Where is that thread where we ask advice, opinion on our creation prior to upload them? I am SO tired of searching...lol I can't find it

Go to the top of the screen. Click "Create." Select "Creator Feedback/Sims 2." Start thread.

Duh..I was looking under Sims 2 Creation...never saw it. lol
Thank you

How do you have a golden anniversary party? I've done all the steps, called the "throw party" option, invited the friends and fam, ordered food, an bought the cake. But my sims can never serve the cake. I just get the clean up option. And it's not a mod. I've never been able to do it even in a vanilla game.

I always figured it's because I'm stupid. For example, I asked you guys a while back how to get my sims to be able to fish in a pond I made. I had lots of great answers because ya'll are the best. Still can't do it.

I don't think you need the cake. Are your sims elder ? IIRC I believe they have to be elder in order to throw a golden anniversary party. The option must show up on the phone.

You don't need a cake - what would you use it for? A Golden Anniversary is 50 years so you need a married elder. And it will start appearing on your phone as soon as it's available: House Party, Sports Party, Anniversary. Invite the kids, and it's also a family reunion.

I don't think I've ever had one not raise the roof. But then I teleport in all and sundry and my elders are all randy and canoodle all over the joint.

The pond must be deep enough and it must show white fish in pond and even then it is tricky to find a spot to fish. i use top down view to find a spot.

I just click all over the pond till it works.

Some older graphic systems may have to turn off shaders and therefore not have fish. There is a mod that lets fish show without shaders on here somewhere.

Yes, I have it

It might make it easier..but I haven't noticed. I never had any trouble fishing in ponds. I had to download this mod because now that my computer is old & grey...graphic chip is dying. But never had to use a mod for them to show, years ago on same machine! ouch.

Is it safe the date the mailman?

To date the mail person? yes. They are safe.

just 2 of the base game parties use a cake (without hacks/mods):: birthday & wedding.
the other 2 base game parties are pretty much an equivalent of the other.

how would a former exterminator react to roaches?

how would a former firefighter react to fire?

In an earlier hood Jan Tellerman was the postal worker. Almeric Davis and his brother moved in together after college. Almeric saw Jan from afar. Thereafter, she was literally all he talked about. At night he dreamt of her. Finally (this was before I had a mod that put everyone in his phone book), I had him stand outside by the mailbox until she came by. He introduced himself and then fled into the house. As Jan disappeared from view, Almeric called her and invited her over. She shouldn't have come because their relationship was like a six or something, but she did. He went outside to wait and when she appeared on the portal, he ran over to her (autonomously), grabbed her and kissed her. I checked and, yep, three bolts. The two were married that day and lived very happily for the rest of their lives. It was one of the sweetest relationships I've ever seen in the game. :lovestruc

That's kind of a clang reference, but it's what I thought of when you asked about dating the postal worker.

I'm not sure, but since a former postal worker doesn't continue to deliver letters, maybe they just forget what they used to do? I don't think a former maid cleans up.

So I'm guessing the newspaper boy is safe as well?

AFAIK, yes

Once you make any of them playable, another service sim is generated to take its place.
Same thing happen if for instance, you invited the maid over just before the time she would show up on your lot..at 10am, another one will then be generated.
Only now, you'll have one more maid/service sim of that sort in your hood. More choices when your sim calls for one.
Yes, a former maid might have many clean skill point, and might as well be more likely to clean up. I made a few playable, and generally, they still clean up after other sims. They will loose their job though. But even when a maid is a maid, if your sim ask them what their job is?..They will answer unemployed..silly, I know.

So yes. pretty much all service sims. maids, pizza/chinese delivery...
One rule you could apply to be real sure is this :
Can I interact with this sim? Is there ANY interactions available without using testing cheats enabled true?
If you can without cheats, the sim is safe and made to mingle with your playables. If not..don't touch.

All delivery people are safe to move in. The game just makes an NPC as needed. Once made playable they have no memories and no job. Some special NPC's like the burglar keep their outfit and the sneak walk.
