No, Social Bunny does NOT cause corruption - The Sims 2 Special NPCs
I took a deep dive into the world of NPCs in The Sims 2. Today we'll have a look at NPCs that - unlike universal NPCs - have character files, but have been rumoured to cause neighborhood corruption: Social Worker, Unsavory Charlatan, Human Statue and others!

    Is it safe to resurrect premade sims from Pleasantview (with or without clean templates)? For example, parents of Don Lothario.

      No, they have incomplete or corrupted data

    Sim Creation Index getting reset could be an issue with multi threading causing word tearing; like one thread reads it as another writes it or whatever,

    Why am I not surprised that the misinformation about those NPCs corrupting the game was spread by the users of the More Awesome Than You site? Pescado and most of the users on that forum are a bunch of stuck-up dickheads that think they know everything and get angry if you dare tell them they're not right 🙄 While looking for information on how to set up Awesome Mod, I literally read them verbally abuse people who where asking for help and telling them to keep searching to solve their issue instead of helping (There were NO threads in the forum explaining how to solve their specific issue)

    Now I want these types of technicaly deep dives for other sims gams (mainly sims 3) just becouse I'm curious how it handles stuff and if it works similarly to sims 2 or is completly diffrent.

    it is worth mentioning that SimAntics (what this video is about) was introduced in The Sims 1, expanded upon with The Sims Online, and expanded heavily upon for The Sims 2. Lots of the topics covered in this video can be seen in TS1 as well :)

    i'm not even a sims fan, and i've never played the sims 2, but i watched your corruption deep dive and video on the squiggly lines a while back. i just rewatched the latter, and now i'm watching more of your videos! they're very interesting to me, even though i barely know anything about ts2!!! :] keep up the good work! and this was actually pretty easy for me to understand despite my lack of coding knowledge, so don't worry about it!!

    EDIT: OMG. Of course they can't 😭 I needed to watch it all again. Im stupid. Now i need to kill this baby and link this sim Do you know if genetics of a sim from Default bin, like Bella would be able to concieve normal children? I have a custom neighbourhood where the author used this method to make sims "disapear" like Bella. I wanted to use one sim from there to make a baby but i think i might have created a male clone of the mother.... This sim does have all the data that are needed so it shouldn't be a problem. But now i have a baby that looked the same every time i tried to roll the pacifier. Also i fk saved accidentally 😭

      I read thier blog post and apparently they are sunsetting it because the owner of FreeSO was tired of maintaining it and wanted to move on. The community dying slightly only cemented thier feelings on it.

    As someone who grew up halfway across the world but pretty much had the same musical taste trajectory, yes, the Avril Lavigne to metal pipeline is extremely real. Honestly, I am kind of shaken that you put such a perfect name to what happened to my taste in music in my early teens. (For me, the path went Avril Lavigne -> Evanescence -> Within Temptation -> Nightwish -> The entire genre of Power Metal in general.)

    I had a bug where my game would say it saved, but it actually had not saved, nof properly anyway. No idea what caused it. Cassandra Goth had a child, and got a dog and cat in the span of time I played where it didn’t save correctly. The game got buggy, Cassandra got a baby bump when not pregnant, and the dogs aging left him with a floating puppy body instead of an adult dog body. When I booted up later, the chid, cat, and dog were not there, the game was reverted to a previous save. No memories or relationships were there. BUT, they WERE there in the picture when loading the lot, and they existed in SimPE. Cassandra went on to have more children and more pets, and nothing bad seemed to happen. But it was weird!

    Thanks for the stream! Maybe one day you can play FreeSO? It is a reimplementation of The Sims Online's game engine, using C# and Monogame, an unofficial community run project. That would be nice to see someone playing this.

    About black roses, I don't know if this is true but I heard a bunch of years ago that you can hypnotize a famous person in your house and apparently obsessed fans will leave black roses at your house? It was something related to the hypnotize spell, but I've never tested it out myself.. EDIT: Also, you should grow a beanstalk!

    • @aprilblacksims
      @aprilblacksims หลายเดือนก่อน

      Black roses are left on your lot by obsessed fans, and you can get an obsessed fan once your Sim has at least 2.5 stars in the Fame career track :) I never heard of the hypnotize trick, but may give it a go! And yes, I do want to grow a beanstalk, but they are so rare! 😫 And it’s even rarer to get one that grows all the way up to the sky, because they grow up to a predetermined height. But maybe we’ll get lucky!
