@@ElleGeorge-q6y no sorry just follow osab’s guide: href.li/?docs.google.com/document/d/1UT0HX3cO4xLft2KozGypU_N7ZcGQVr-54QD9asFsx5U/ its not difficult, once you’ve installed following that just refer back to this for a few further optimisations and tips, good luck!😊

@@BellaDovah thank you one more question I have the physical discs ..do I have to download the sims 2 plus expansion packs before I do your steps ?

@@ElleGeorge-q6y ah I didn’t realise you had the discs, I thought you wanted to obtain it another way as osab guides through, so you don’t need that actually, just install your discs in the order they were released, and between installing each one, install the corresponding patch: modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS2_Patches then once they’re all installed just follow through my guide😊 if you can’t get it to work with your discs then you might want to consider osab’s installation instead but I’d imagine you’d be able to use your discs then get the game stable with my guide! Hope that helps

@@quickentertainme not sure exactly in what way you mean but there are several mods that help with this, one that comes to mind is Care Don’t Wave: simnopke.tumblr.com/unpublished but there’s also some that make them smarter about looking after babies/toddlers etc

@@SeiMiura you’re welcome!🥰 Hm I was under the impression that it was a replacement for the original towel mod lite but it could be that its only the bit effecting children, does it work for children or still no? If so it might be that you need the original mod too to affect other ages, but thats not what I understood. Otherwise, it might be a conflict, such as ‘dress me correctly’, check hcdu+!

@@BellaDovah nope it didn't work with kids either, tried a few times with different versions but it's most likely something I'm doing wrong )x and thank you so much! I didn't know about hdcu+, i'll definitely check out there what could be the issue

@@miaomiao2356 amazing 👏 You’re so welcome!

@@nathalieblindeman7931 you’re welcome!😊

@@azamor5961 you’re so welcome! Thank you!🥰 I have since started using spreadsheets to generate demographic graphs as well. Ani Bats also uses a spreadsheet throughout her lets plays and also shows one off in more detail in her strangetown tour. Katie Catastrophe also has a video about a sims 2 spreadsheet too!

Aw thanks! You are so welcome🥰

@@178cupsofcoffee its the Clean UI mod: greatcheesecakepersona.tumblr.com/post/190825573525/download-clean-ui-post-updated-011121 I also have a video about Ui mods: th-cam.com/video/93NgDt8FKUU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=YLvdO3oT1ytlcHgf

@@BellaDovah thank you so much!!!! 🫶

@@simolauren2718 there wouldn’t be much to show because you just put the .package files in your downloads folder as usual. Just either remove the original simblender file and that specific acr file first or ensure that the new ones overwrite/load after the old ones

@@BellaDovah I removed my sim blender and downloaded the new one and the age option is there but it only gives me the ages Toddler, child & teen I sorted the ACR one

@@simolauren2718 its meant to only be those, or at least it was, but it was more recently updated with some more categories like young adults and pets.

@@romanstudios7707 its this one😊 www.tumblr.com/lowedeus/137560317441/%D1%81amera-mod-compilation

@@XUrbanSimsX wow thank you so much🥺 that really means a lot🥰❤️

@@nemesis.armenia.35.16 someone?😂 Sims 2 has a huge active community, hence why so many new mods are being released every month. Its the best sims game by far so why wouldn’t I?🤣 Pretty sure most of the thousands of people who have watched this video are playing the game too, but thanks for the click anyways

You're welcome! You may be interested in Cyjon's Debugger, particularly the LTW report option, but there are other stats too: cyjon.net/node/148 there's also the Skilling Sim: www.picknmixmods.com/Sims2/Downloads/SkillingSim/SkillingSim.html and The Bonsai of Wisdom: modthesims.info/d/208176/show-hidden-skills-and-stats-with-bonsai-of-wisdom.html that may be helpful too!

try the the tool Magpie. you need to run the game in windowed mode, set the smaller resolution and run the tool, you will get the max resolution for your screen but with the bigger UI. Also make sure to enable auto restore within the tool otherwise it's quite annoying

@@user-td6pq9fj3b Well I did it with Magpie and Lossless scale. It works but after a while they don't scale my game anymore and I have to restart.

@@Kabotynka oh yeah! I remember that now, that’s a good option too😊

@@Cervidae 1. there is a character limit to the description box that would be exceeded with links on top of my detailed chapters. 2. You can’t hyperlink text in the description box so links written out in full quickly gets very messy. 3. People visit my website without watching the video. 4. Not everyone watches the whole video but instead finds the chapters they’re most interested in. 5. Everyone should know the alphabet so A-Z is an order that should help anyone find the mod they are looking for. 6. Ctrl F is a thing

You may be interested in the Magic Duels mod that the bending duel was based on, but this is more closely inspired by The Sims 1! earlypleasantview.tumblr.com/notpublished

That’s so great! 👏 You’re very welcome❤️

You're so welcome! I'm really glad😊 I use the 'Visitor More Population Mod' modthesims.info/d/623811/update-1-lot-visit-mod.html and I also have the cheat 'intProp maxNumOfVisitingSims 50' in my userStartup.cheat file

@@prosieniec that’s a great idea! I would actually also like a new influence option for engagements so that parents & grandparents that want a family member to get married can influence their children/grandchildren to propose to their partner! I also have no idea if its possible, I imagine it probably is but beyond my current modding knowledge. But if I ever figure out how to do one then I’d probably be able to do the other🤞

@@BellaDovah that is awesome idea, would be so cool to see such a mod.

@@autism_and_niamh oh wow that’s really made my day!🥰 I’m so glad to hear it, you’re very welcome ❤️

Commenting to boost this comment up the comment section!

Aw that's great to know! You're so welcome!🥰

You're welcome! Really glad I can help you discover new mods😊 Hm that's strange! It might be worth sending a message to Jacky93Sims to inform them of that bug

So glad I was able to help you find some awesome additions for your downloads folder!😊 You're very welcome! I actually made a mistake by installing both of those baby bottles at the same time, you're only supposed to use one, and the textures actually got a bit squashed as I had them both in, so they'll look even better with which ever one you choose! The CAS Makeup Lag Fix was easy for me because I use the RPC launcher which I highly recommend, and then you just put the .asi into the mods folder in your TSBin you get with it. However, if you don't have the launcher then you do need to put both files in that location, however you need a no-CD/EAapp version of the executable like this: files.fm/u/suyczxza you just make a backup of your original Sims2EP9.exe and replace it with that one.

@@BellaDovah thanks!

@@anyad8 that’s really lovely to hear thank you 🥰

@@Simney love to hear it, I’m so glad🥰

Ah I'm sorry! Yes I did have them both at the same time, I didn't realise you were supposed to only have one - oops! I've updated my website to make it clear its one or the other. They're cute so thank you for working on those! :)

@@BellaDovah Thank you, I posted over on your Discord about it so you can see how it should look. We have also made it more clear that it should only be one as well. Can I ask a favour? Can you make a correction video? Or if that is too much work, is it possible to edit this video to put some text on it saying this is not how this cc should look?

@@joandsarah77 I unfortunately can't edit this video with text, but I would have liked to. I have added a comment clarifying this, and I will try to remember to cover it again in the next episode to clarify my mistake and show off how the textures should really look!

@@BellaDovah Thank you 💜

@@Hendrik_McSims thanks that’s really great to hear! You’re welcome🥰

@@graublauYT amazing to know, thank you❤️

Ooo I’m interested to see what you make with them! You’re welcome 🥰

Ikr! I’ve not known for that long and its so useful. I recommend avoiding deleting the thumbnail files from your folders where possible actually because in my experience that makes pink soup and crashing more likely so this is a great way to just update what and when you need instead! Glad this video was able to teach it to you😊

@@BellaDovah Thank you once again ^^

@@luca57882 thank youuu!!🥰

@@suepixels The ‘crack’ is simply to bypass requirements for either CDs or the EA App, but its not like you’re downloading an entirely different version to the official Ultimate Collection, everything is the same as what you install from the EA App you just replace that one exe file so that you can use RPC and therefore then launch the game with RPC instead of going through the EA App. Of course you don’t have to use RPC but there’s literally no negatives of it and a whole bunch of benefits.

@@BellaDovah I see, guess I just don't know how to replace this file and where to find it. There is no such file on Lazy Duchess page or at least I could not find it. Because I did follow your guide until that point and I was like - Uh? Why do I need a cracked version? 😅 I did everything else and just repaired sims 2 and need to start over again. As I didn't want to use a cracked version. Oh, well... it's a long tutorial and I lost now motivation to start over again. It's a good tutorial, though! I guess this little point wasn't really clear enough for me. 😅😆 So I don't have that file and guess I won't be able to use RPC.

@@suepixels the file is linked in the written guide I linked. It’s called George.

@@BellaDovah 🤦‍♀ I knew I missed something LOL! You are a sweetheart! Thank you so much for not giving up on me 😆🥰 Will try it later again and let you know 😏!

@@suepixels haha you’re so welcome 🥰 I understand it can be a lot to get your head around the first time! Good luck 🤞
