One thing I didn't cover in the video: Uninstalling ACR. If you decide you don't like it and want to uninstall, please read the documentation that comes with the mod to properly uninstall and remove tokens. If that's scary, you can just leave the mod in but turn it off if you don't want to use it.
@@mayorspunion you can probably just put a r back into your mods folder and that should be fine. Unless you have played without it and the corrupting thing have happened. I don't know how that works.
The big difference for doing "high" is that bisexual sims in Sims 2 basegame set to "low" or otherwise become bisexual in vanilla, is that if your bi sims end up in a committed relationship where they're true to one partner, in vanilla or "low" the sim will eventually switch over to being interested in only the gender of their partner. The game calculates sexuality by adding 2 points towards attraction to one gender when you have romantic interactions with that gender and also removing one point from the other gender at the same time. So if a bisexual sim with a preference of +10 male +10 female has 10 romantic interactions when going on a date with the local romance sim, he'll stop being bi and become straight. I like to set my sexualities to "high" to avoid that tendency of the game to push bisexual sims into a single preference over time. (I also set my bi sim percentage at like 30% so that the dating pool for gay sims can expand a little without pulling too many sims out of the dating pool for everyone else.)
This is honestly going to help so many people! Amazing tutorial! Your mods list on your website has completely changed the way I play now. I owe it to you, keep up the fab work!
Your timing is perfect, I'm about to start my new neighborhood and decided to use ACR for the first time! Thank you for doing these tutorials, they're always helpful and enjoyable :)
All of your tutorials are SO helpful. I recently got back into TS2, and had no idea what I was doing pertaining to modding/SimPE/anything outside of playing vanilla. Thank you so much for the plethora of videos you've made for the community! I cannot overstate how helpful they are.

ACR does not add Sims to your 'hood. If you have that many it's most likely from adding subhoods. Do you have downtown or Bluewater Village or a University added? If so, that drops all of those townies into your main 'hood too. :)

I need help whenever I add the adjuster the only options that come up are adjuster misc and gender pref I can’t set up anything else and my sims don’t do anything on their own when it’s on the lot and just stand there for hours even when their needs are low plz help
I have ACR for sometime now and it made me both laugh and cry. I usually use it for my romance sim and risky woohoo. I might use the gender preferences generator now that I know how to use it , the way I did before was with the sim blender. I also have a question Cindy - how do you generate new townies and NPC? I'm getting tired of seeing the Pleasentview townies and apartment townies walking the street of custom neighborhoods. Thank you and I hope your feeling better after your dental appointment!
Thank you! There are a lot of ways you can generate townies - such as with the Tombstone of L& D or Sim Blender. If you mean how to create a new neighborhood that has completely different townies instead of the Maxis ones, that's a bit more difficult. I am planning to make a tutorial on it soon though because I get asked about it a lot. Basically, you need to remove the character files from the base 'hoods before you create a new neighborhood. But this can mess up your game badly if you don't do it correctly. Here's some more info: sims.fandom.com/wiki/Game_guide:Creating_a_clean_neighborhood But I will make an in-depth video tutorial in the coming weeks about how I do it.
@@PleasantSims I love that there's still Sims 2 videos like these around! I still have my Sims 2 and I always get empty neighborhoods, J.M. Pescado mods, and use the mailbox with testingcheatsenabled true to generate new townies as well as default replacement face templates so the townies come out more attractive and distinct. Keep it up!
Just a note on the birth control feature, just like in real life it's not 100% effective in the game lol. I put both a male and female sim on it and they still wound up pregnant after being swamped with 4 kids, thanks to ACR. XD
That happens when you have testing cheats enabled in neighborhood view. I always have testing cheats enabled because I use a startup cheat file. More info here: sims.fandom.com/wiki/Game_guide:Userstartup.cheat
Hey Cindy! I love you for introducing this this mod to me but I was just wondering if you would know the answer to this but I am unable to do the autonomus woohoo on a bed as it doesn't give me the option only on the sofa? I don't know why this is or if I have to have a certain option set as enabled? any help would be great x
I had this mod in my game just a little of time, I think I didn't really know how to use it. Two sims in a univeristy lot were in a hot tub and they were just bugging, I was trying to get them to woohoo but they just either got out from the hot tub or freezed. And then also the woohoing on the couch-part: they just didn't, they got off from the sofa and that's it. I don't know if the settings were wrong or what but I was little worried so I panicked and removed the mod from my game.
I installed the ACR mod and I love the way it changes gameplay (thanks for your great tutorial! :) ) However, I have a "problem" and I don't know whether it's related to ACR or not: ALL my pregnant sims (Cassandra Goth, Nina Caliente and Jennifer Burb) got twins. Has anyone had the same thing happen? Could this be related to ACR or is it just coincidence? Dina Caliente is pregnant right now and I kinda don't want her to have twins, too.
I used Any Game Starter: modthesims.info/d/604873/tester-needed-anygamestarter-v-2-2-0-uc-ultimate-collection-upd-25-dec-2017.html But you can also just switch the folders out in My Documents. I will make a tutorial about this soon because I get a lot of questions on it.
Sometimes my romance sims still get jealous even though their jealousy is set to none. Don't know what's causing it but other than that I love this mod.
I tried to download ACR, following the link in your blog, but my game would crash every time I tried to start with it in the downloads folder. Do you or anyone else have any idea why, or how I can fix it?
Ok so strangely, the method of uninstalling in the previous version was to go to the token menu of the adjuster Acr 2.0 does not have this, so the tokens can not be removed. Does anyone know what the new method may be? I hear the new method may be to disable the mod with the adjustor in game then remove it.
@@PleasantSims I had a megahood I wanted to upload on mts so i wanted to remove things when people asked me for a game save. Unfortunately acr 2.0 dosent appear to have a definitive uninstall method. :(
Hi, This is a great intro to the mod! I have only one concern, as I already read (also here in the comments) - is there a safe way to uninstall, just in case I would decide to get rid of this? Thanks
I tried downloading but I am not able to because simbology isn't allowing new users to make an account and when I click the link you provided it says i need an account. Is there anyway to download acr 2.0 another way? I can't find any :/
hii!! i was having the same issue loll, it was working a few months ago tho, however you can still get the download by going on the wayback machine, copy and pasting the link and then selecting the latest available capture, it should have the download there for you, it did for me!! (you can use this for many other mods with broken/discontinued links) here's a direct link if you get confused :) web.archive.org/web/20190706153405/simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=5669.0 i hope this helped!
I have a question...what if every time I load up the sims 2 my sims are not home and it shows they are just somewhere else but it doesn't say like where they are or what there doing? How can I fix that?
What do you do when you set the pregnancy odds for one specific sim but it changes back to 62% please? I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve set the percentage to lower than 62% but for some reason it keeps reverting back and not saving my changes!
found your video because im contemplating installing ACR! im planning on making an empty hood for rotational play, and i've only dabbled in ts2 mods at most (though im very much familiar w/ modding the other games) - i like the idea of my sims picking their own partners and being more autonomous about their interactions, but i'd rather they don't go around woohooing when im not controlling them. is there a way to turn things down to flirtation when it comes to sims im not controlling at the time? and is jealousy an issue? i saw people recommend Pescado's romance and noinstantloves mods, but im worried that'll sway things too far into the other direction. is ACR adjustable enough to only slightly randomize romantic interactions, instead of dominate it? sorry if thats a complicated question btw! its just hard to find clear info lol
Hi there! I'm not sure what you mean by Sims you aren't controlling. Do you mean Sims not in the current playable household? If so, they only do autonomous actions when they're on the same lot as you - so a community lot or visiting your current residential lot or apartment residents if you're playing with apartments. And then, they'll only woohoo if there are woohoo objects on the lot like a hot tub. If you mean Sims in the same household that aren't actively selected, then no. They will do whatever they like via ACR, although you can change settings for the lot or specific Sim. You can also set jealousy to whatever you want - from no jealousy to jealousy only when married, only when going steady, etc. The best way is to just download it and play around to see if you like it or not. Hope that helps some!
@@PleasantSims thanks so much for your answer!! i meant sims outside of the active household, yes! sims in a current household can do whatever they want, because i already micromanage all of them 9 out of 10 times. if they do something i truly hate, i'll probably just stop them. i just feel like it'd be nice if my sims could show some more autonomy in who they're attracted to, flirt with, maybe start a liiittle drama, etc - otherwise i'd get stuck in trying to perfectly matchmake everyone before even playing, when i make the households i wanna start with. i feel like that'd get boring real quick. that being said, i definitely wanna have the final say, especially when it comes to sims im not controlling at the time, because it might screw up plans i have for them. if i can see their intentions, i can choose whether or not i want them to act on it, so its good to know that i wont have to constantly worry about inactive households unless theyre on my lot! ill probably just try it out with jealousy set to "in love", i just hope it wont be a pain to remove if i dont like it, because iirc it applies tokens to every sim? which i havent actually figured out what they are or do lol, i've just been on a massive mod-hunt this week and scouring old posts to find out what i want for my game. wanna make sure everything is set up how i want it to be! and this video definitely helped make ACR seem a little less daunting :)
I'm little confused about ACR. It's working and not working... Sims do interactions like woohoo, some flirts and kisses but every kiss and flirt interactions aren't working. For example, when my sims try peck they do "jump bug". I have tried ACR 2.0 first and then ACR 1.1, but both have same problem. I tried have only ACR in Download folder too, but still my sims doing "jump bug". I have almost every EPs, but not Apartment Life and Glamour Life Stuff.
hello, love your channel! and I really like your videos about the sims 2 !!! :) Could you put subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese? I don't speak your language well.
Hey I've tried to install the ACR mod, but I can't get it to work I've read instruction, wached many tutorial videos and still nothing. Mods are enabled. I've even uninstalled all other mods and installed ACR from the beginning Did someone else have that problem and want help? I have that ultimate collection and it runs perfectly on windows 10. Some mods work and some don't, I have no idea why.
The first thing I would do is check to make sure you are unzipping the files and extracting them into your downloads folder. If you don't unzip it, the mod will not show up in the game.
@@PleasantSims I did. I unzipped them directly into the Downloads folder and when it didn't work I unzipped it into separate folder on deskop and then dragged them there
Hey, new subscriber here... I've been watching your Pleasantview series and I thought you took out ACR because of all the woohoo at birthday parties? And now youve put it back in? is that right???
Does anyone else get the glitch that once the sims are equipped with the acr token, they just stop all activities and stand still until their motives deplete? They do that little glitchy "jump" as well. For me, the acr only works if I delete the adjuster from the lot once sims have the token. Then they'll just act according to the global settings and I can't individualize lots and sims... Only the data-less NPCs are unaffected and work accordinly. Does anyone know a solution for this, please?
Hi! Does anyone here know if there's a way to download this mod to a game without expansions? All the versions I see online require an expansion. Unfortunately, I can't locate any of my discs for my old packs right now, but i'd still love to try this mod! Thanks!
I have my risky set to 36%, but when I clicked "show my token stats" it says "Base Risky Odds are 36% which works out 0 chances out of 10,000". What did I do wrong😭😭
not sure if this is an ACR question- I had 2 teens going out (townie and playable). My playable went to university then lost the crush from teen to the townie. I used ACR and they can interact through the ACR menu but they do not get any of the relationship flags? He's still a teen and I'm a young adult. Is that normal? with the ACR not triggering flags?
It’s not really an ACR thing because I’ve experienced the same thing. Usually the crush goes away when your sim goes to university or becomes an adult. But the friendship stays with the townie at least. Hope this helpss
Cindy, it just popped up to my mind out of nowhere but I was just thinking that fertility does decreases with age but there are also some cases in which a person is totally infertile even if he/she is young. Have you done anything for that? Just asked because you go for realistic gameplay and so do I.
Hi there! Yes, I allow my Sims to Try for Baby for 3 times. If they don't get pregnant, I consider them to be infertile and they may adopt a child to fulfill their want for children. So far, it hasn't happened. But we've had a couple of close calls.
Any idea why I keep getting the Bad Gosub Tree error? If I click "delete" it deletes my Sim which I know is bad. I have the Smarter EP Check but it doesn't seem to solve my problem.
"Deleting" sims that way isn't bad, actually, as it doesn't actually delete them. It just deletes an "instance" of them (thus resetting them), and once you reload the lot, they'll be standing by the mailbox safe and sound. As for your issue, sounds like some sort of mod conflict to me.
A very stupid question but, For example I'm playing Don Lothario and we all know he's a woohooer. Could he possibly get other sims pregnant that I'm not playing? Like Dina and Nina if they go to his house while I'm playing don and they woohoo will they have a chance of becoming preggers? (Please reply asap if anyone knows I don't want a bunch of don's offspring in my game LOL!)
Not unless you make them selectable with testing cheats or mods (which is what Cindy does). Sims can only get pregnant if they're part of the current household you're playing (and making them selectable makes them so as far as the game is concerned). Just make sure to make them UNselectable again once they've done the deed.
Can you do polyamorous relationships? Like have two romance sims married couple not get jealous of each other and have their flings not get jealous of them? I would like that but I also want to have monogomous relationships as well in the same town. Is this a possibility? Is there a way to have a jealous sim not be jealous of a sim that is openly polyamorous?
I'm guessing the Sims 2 didn't have the ability to add new menus or animations, therefore mods can only work with what's already ingame, is that correct? (Considering the 'adjust percentage' is the buying groceries menu)
I have mods with new animations but they are really rare. Making new animations for the sims 2 was either really hard or there just wasn't that many people with the right tools and skills around when it was big.
Google "pleasant sims sims 2 mods" when you're on the website you have to scroll and find romantic mods , there would be a list of mods and ACR would be right there
I have a really good computer, my game is patched using this method to allow more memory to be used: pleasantsims.com/sims-2-windows-10/ And, I also use these graphical mods: th-cam.com/video/q6R9cfTsFgE/w-d-xo.html That's it!
Does anyone know a working mod that can go into sims 2 that allows teen woohoo? I don’t want pregnancy! I just want to allow teens the option of woohoo in game, all the mods I’ve come across seem complex and/or really old and im skeptical
Any of my sims who have the want for multiple partners I like to turn the jealousy off and allow all interactions with cheating. Especially if I put them in a relationship with other "players".
The problems I have with mods like this is they put sims with sims I don’t like, end relationships I have set up and stuff like that. I wouldn’t mind it so much if it actually did what I wanted, but I’ll have an entire storyline set up for a sim, and the game will put them into a situation that I don’t want, like get them pregnant, or set them with somebody else and have them cheat etc. I need total 100% control over everything and I expect the game to know what I’m thinking before I even think it. Yeah, I’m complicated lol
@@vickylewis8558 yeah it's not perfect but i think chemistry plays a bigger part in that mod. Just make sure you back up your neighborhoods just in case you don't like it and run HCDU plus too see conflicts because it's also a pretty big mod

@@jordynnjohnsrud9347 how to find v.2??

Basically, you need to remove the character files from the base 'hoods before you create a new neighborhood. But this can mess up your game badly if you don't do it correctly. Here's some more info: sims.fandom.com/wiki/Game_guide:Creating_a_clean_neighborhood
But I will make an in-depth video tutorial in the coming weeks about how I do it.
Pleasant Sims Thank you 😊
@@PleasantSims I love that there's still Sims 2 videos like these around! I still have my Sims 2 and I always get empty neighborhoods, J.M. Pescado mods, and use the mailbox with testingcheatsenabled true to generate new townies as well as default replacement face templates so the townies come out more attractive and distinct. Keep it up!
This looks like a great mod! I've only ever downloaded mods for this sims 4 but I'm ready to try this mod for sims 2
Is there an option to only allow ACR between sims with chemistry? My sim has started a thing with a friend he has minus chemistry with...
Just a note on the birth control feature, just like in real life it's not 100% effective in the game lol. I put both a male and female sim on it and they still wound up pregnant after being swamped with 4 kids, thanks to ACR. XD
Yes, you're absolutely correct Kel! Only the "Disallow Pregnancy" is 100%. Birth control can still fail just like in real life!
It so weird to see you with your old wigs now! Love ypu!
Imagine if life was this easy haha I’d love to “set” my life to how I like it.
Hi Cindy! Thank you so much for this video! Please tell me how you show the way to the file lots of neighborhoods?
That happens when you have testing cheats enabled in neighborhood view. I always have testing cheats enabled because I use a startup cheat file. More info here: sims.fandom.com/wiki/Game_guide:Userstartup.cheat
@@PleasantSims Thanks!
This was a great tutorial of ACR. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. n_n
Great video!!!
Thanks so much for this
Love ur hair! 😄
Thanks Georgina!
What's the difference between the autonomy levels shown at 14:51?
The link in the description to download the ACR mod isn't working.
Hey Cindy! I love you for introducing this this mod to me but I was just wondering if you would know the answer to this but I am unable to do the autonomus woohoo on a bed as it doesn't give me the option only on the sofa? I don't know why this is or if I have to have a certain option set as enabled? any help would be great x
I had this mod in my game just a little of time, I think I didn't really know how to use it. Two sims in a univeristy lot were in a hot tub and they were just bugging, I was trying to get them to woohoo but they just either got out from the hot tub or freezed. And then also the woohoing on the couch-part: they just didn't, they got off from the sofa and that's it. I don't know if the settings were wrong or what but I was little worried so I panicked and removed the mod from my game.
I installed the ACR mod and I love the way it changes gameplay (thanks for your great tutorial! :) ) However, I have a "problem" and I don't know whether it's related to ACR or not: ALL my pregnant sims (Cassandra Goth, Nina Caliente and Jennifer Burb) got twins. Has anyone had the same thing happen? Could this be related to ACR or is it just coincidence? Dina Caliente is pregnant right now and I kinda don't want her to have twins, too.
Thank you soo much for this video! ❤️ but quick question, how’d you get a fresh install of pleasantview?
I used Any Game Starter: modthesims.info/d/604873/tester-needed-anygamestarter-v-2-2-0-uc-ultimate-collection-upd-25-dec-2017.html
But you can also just switch the folders out in My Documents. I will make a tutorial about this soon because I get a lot of questions on it.
Pleasant Sims okay, tysm! i’ll be looking forward to that video.
Sometimes my romance sims still get jealous even though their jealousy is set to none. Don't know what's causing it but other than that I love this mod.
Hi Cindy ! The link for ACR on simbology doesn't work anymore as simbology disapearred :( do you know if it has been saved somewhere else ? Thank you
Yes, I've uploaded it on my website. Check my mods list. :)
I tried to download ACR, following the link in your blog, but my game would crash every time I tried to start with it in the downloads folder. Do you or anyone else have any idea why, or how I can fix it?
Ok so strangely, the method of uninstalling in the previous version was to go to the token menu of the adjuster
Acr 2.0 does not have this, so the tokens can not be removed. Does anyone know what the new method may be? I hear the new method may be to disable the mod with the adjustor in game then remove it.
I have no idea. I just don't uninstall it. Lol
@@PleasantSims I had a megahood I wanted to upload on mts so i wanted to remove things when people asked me for a game save. Unfortunately acr 2.0 dosent appear to have a definitive uninstall method. :(
Hi Christopher
Have you found a way to safely uninstall it?
Why am I watching this and I have ACR 😂😂
It must be my siren-like voice. LOL
Hi,
This is a great intro to the mod! I have only one concern, as I already read (also here in the comments) - is there a safe way to uninstall, just in case I would decide to get rid of this?
Thanks
For sim settings, if it says "set to faithful" does that mean they are faithful or does it showing "allow all interactions" mean they are?
the link isnt working anymore queen :(
I tried downloading but I am not able to because simbology isn't allowing new users to make an account and when I click the link you provided it says i need an account. Is there anyway to download acr 2.0 another way? I can't find any :/
@@brattyx0836 same ):

i was having the same issue loll, it was working a few months ago tho, however you can still get the download by going on the wayback machine, copy and pasting the link and then selecting the latest available capture, it should have the download there for you, it did for me!! (you can use this for many other mods with broken/discontinued links) here's a direct link if you get confused :) web.archive.org/web/20190706153405/simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=5669.0
i hope this helped!
I have a question...what if every time I load up the sims 2 my sims are not home and it shows they are just somewhere else but it doesn't say like where they are or what there doing? How can I fix that?
What do you do when you set the pregnancy odds for one specific sim but it changes back to 62% please? I’ve lost count the number of times I’ve set the percentage to lower than 62% but for some reason it keeps reverting back and not saving my changes!
Can you do one on how to download Sim Blender? Thanks!
Hi Jackie! I will add this to my list. Thank you!
Pleasant Sims Thank you :)
found your video because im contemplating installing ACR! im planning on making an empty hood for rotational play, and i've only dabbled in ts2 mods at most (though im very much familiar w/ modding the other games) - i like the idea of my sims picking their own partners and being more autonomous about their interactions, but i'd rather they don't go around woohooing when im not controlling them. is there a way to turn things down to flirtation when it comes to sims im not controlling at the time? and is jealousy an issue? i saw people recommend Pescado's romance and noinstantloves mods, but im worried that'll sway things too far into the other direction. is ACR adjustable enough to only slightly randomize romantic interactions, instead of dominate it?
sorry if thats a complicated question btw! its just hard to find clear info lol
Hi there! I'm not sure what you mean by Sims you aren't controlling. Do you mean Sims not in the current playable household? If so, they only do autonomous actions when they're on the same lot as you - so a community lot or visiting your current residential lot or apartment residents if you're playing with apartments. And then, they'll only woohoo if there are woohoo objects on the lot like a hot tub.
If you mean Sims in the same household that aren't actively selected, then no. They will do whatever they like via ACR, although you can change settings for the lot or specific Sim.
You can also set jealousy to whatever you want - from no jealousy to jealousy only when married, only when going steady, etc. The best way is to just download it and play around to see if you like it or not. Hope that helps some!
@@PleasantSims thanks so much for your answer!! i meant sims outside of the active household, yes! sims in a current household can do whatever they want, because i already micromanage all of them 9 out of 10 times. if they do something i truly hate, i'll probably just stop them.
i just feel like it'd be nice if my sims could show some more autonomy in who they're attracted to, flirt with, maybe start a liiittle drama, etc - otherwise i'd get stuck in trying to perfectly matchmake everyone before even playing, when i make the households i wanna start with. i feel like that'd get boring real quick. that being said, i definitely wanna have the final say, especially when it comes to sims im not controlling at the time, because it might screw up plans i have for them. if i can see their intentions, i can choose whether or not i want them to act on it, so its good to know that i wont have to constantly worry about inactive households unless theyre on my lot!
ill probably just try it out with jealousy set to "in love", i just hope it wont be a pain to remove if i dont like it, because iirc it applies tokens to every sim? which i havent actually figured out what they are or do lol, i've just been on a massive mod-hunt this week and scouring old posts to find out what i want for my game. wanna make sure everything is set up how i want it to be! and this video definitely helped make ACR seem a little less daunting :)
@@mimi-xx Hi Mimi! If you find you don't like it (but I think you will!) you can just turn off ACR autonomy and it will stop everything. :)
I'm little confused about ACR. It's working and not working... Sims do interactions like woohoo, some flirts and kisses but every kiss and flirt interactions aren't working. For example, when my sims try peck they do "jump bug". I have tried ACR 2.0 first and then ACR 1.1, but both have same problem. I tried have only ACR in Download folder too, but still my sims doing "jump bug". I have almost every EPs, but not Apartment Life and Glamour Life Stuff.
I’m not getting the pop up as soon as I start but I can’t figure out what I did wrong when downloading.
hello, love your channel! and I really like your videos about the sims 2 !!! :) Could you put subtitles in Brazilian Portuguese? I don't speak your language well.
Oi! Eu sou brasileiro e tava pensando em legendar os vídeos dela! :D
Hey
I've tried to install the ACR mod, but I can't get it to work
I've read instruction, wached many tutorial videos and still nothing. Mods are enabled. I've even uninstalled all other mods and installed ACR from the beginning
Did someone else have that problem and want help?
I have that ultimate collection and it runs perfectly on windows 10. Some mods work and some don't, I have no idea why.
The first thing I would do is check to make sure you are unzipping the files and extracting them into your downloads folder. If you don't unzip it, the mod will not show up in the game.
@@PleasantSims
I did. I unzipped them directly into the Downloads folder and when it didn't work I unzipped it into separate folder on deskop and then dragged them there
@@c47hy Are you using the correct version of the mod? There are two versions out there. You need to have 2.0.
@@PleasantSims ACR Version 2.0 - Final
As far as I know that's the latest version
@@c47hy Yep, that's it. So my next question would be what do you mean by it doesn't work? When you click on a Sim, does the "Adjust" option appear?
Hey, new subscriber here... I've been watching your Pleasantview series and I thought you took out ACR because of all the woohoo at birthday parties? And now youve put it back in? is that right???
Yes, that's right! It just needed some adjustment. Now that I've learned how to use it properly, I couldn't play without it. :)
Where did you get that poster?
Ebay
Thank you :)
Does ACR work for supercollection?
same question :(
It does! I use it in my super collection.
i know it’s not the mode talking about here in this video but does the clean ui work for the supercollection
does anyone know why this isnt working for me? all my cc is working so it isnt an issue with my downloads...
I'm starting back playing sims 2 again but it's been a long time so I forgot how to do most things.
Does anyone else get the glitch that once the sims are equipped with the acr token, they just stop all activities and stand still until their motives deplete? They do that little glitchy "jump" as well. For me, the acr only works if I delete the adjuster from the lot once sims have the token. Then they'll just act according to the global settings and I can't individualize lots and sims... Only the data-less NPCs are unaffected and work accordinly. Does anyone know a solution for this, please?
Hi! Does anyone here know if there's a way to download this mod to a game without expansions? All the versions I see online require an expansion. Unfortunately, I can't locate any of my discs for my old packs right now, but i'd still love to try this mod!
Thanks!
I don’t understand why my pregnancy scanner doesn’t work :/ nothing comes up when I click it, is it because the sim is not pregnant?
I can't seem to download the sim blender, does anyone know where to download it?
I have my risky set to 36%, but when I clicked "show my token stats" it says "Base Risky Odds are 36% which works out 0 chances out of 10,000". What did I do wrong😭😭
not sure if this is an ACR question- I had 2 teens going out (townie and playable). My playable went to university then lost the crush from teen to the townie. I used ACR and they can interact through the ACR menu but they do not get any of the relationship flags? He's still a teen and I'm a young adult. Is that normal? with the ACR not triggering flags?
It’s not really an ACR thing because I’ve experienced the same thing. Usually the crush goes away when your sim goes to university or becomes an adult. But the friendship stays with the townie at least. Hope this helpss
Cindy, it just popped up to my mind out of nowhere but I was just thinking that fertility does decreases with age but there are also some cases in which a person is totally infertile even if he/she is young. Have you done anything for that? Just asked because you go for realistic gameplay and so do I.
Hi there! Yes, I allow my Sims to Try for Baby for 3 times. If they don't get pregnant, I consider them to be infertile and they may adopt a child to fulfill their want for children. So far, it hasn't happened. But we've had a couple of close calls.
Oh yeah! I remember! Lucy and Alexander were just close to be labelled as an unfertile couple when Lucy got pregnant. That's how it works! Thanks tho!
Any idea why I keep getting the Bad Gosub Tree error? If I click "delete" it deletes my Sim which I know is bad. I have the Smarter EP Check but it doesn't seem to solve my problem.
"Deleting" sims that way isn't bad, actually, as it doesn't actually delete them. It just deletes an "instance" of them (thus resetting them), and once you reload the lot, they'll be standing by the mailbox safe and sound. As for your issue, sounds like some sort of mod conflict to me.
Thanks, fellow Simmer.
You're welcome! :)
For some reason my adjuster doesn't have the hood settings
Edit: oop nvm it works perfectly!
I’m having that problem right now. How did you fix this???
@@chelseylesage you'll have to let the game run in live mode for a few second and wait till u see the 'acr installed'.
A very stupid question but, For example I'm playing Don Lothario and we all know he's a woohooer. Could he possibly get other sims pregnant that I'm not playing? Like Dina and Nina if they go to his house while I'm playing don and they woohoo will they have a chance of becoming preggers?
(Please reply asap if anyone knows I don't want a bunch of don's offspring in my game LOL!)
Not unless you make them selectable with testing cheats or mods (which is what Cindy does). Sims can only get pregnant if they're part of the current household you're playing (and making them selectable makes them so as far as the game is concerned). Just make sure to make them UNselectable again once they've done the deed.
Can you do polyamorous relationships? Like have two romance sims married couple not get jealous of each other and have their flings not get jealous of them? I would like that but I also want to have monogomous relationships as well in the same town. Is this a possibility? Is there a way to have a jealous sim not be jealous of a sim that is openly polyamorous?
Thank you for this video! I had downloaded it and was wondering what was wrong hahah
You're welcome! Glad to help!
I'm guessing the Sims 2 didn't have the ability to add new menus or animations, therefore mods can only work with what's already ingame, is that correct? (Considering the 'adjust percentage' is the buying groceries menu)
I have mods with new animations but they are really rare. Making new animations for the sims 2 was either really hard or there just wasn't that many people with the right tools and skills around when it was big.
Does the Teens bodies morph during pregnancy like the adults?
Do you have another link for ACR? the link provided is no longer working
Google "pleasant sims sims 2 mods" when you're on the website you have to scroll and find romantic mods , there would be a list of mods and ACR would be right there
I am so irritated simbology is offline.. it was one of my must-have sites!
How does your game look so smooth whats your secret?
I have a really good computer, my game is patched using this method to allow more memory to be used: pleasantsims.com/sims-2-windows-10/
And, I also use these graphical mods: th-cam.com/video/q6R9cfTsFgE/w-d-xo.html
That's it!
Does anyone know a working mod that can go into sims 2 that allows teen woohoo? I don’t want pregnancy! I just want to allow teens the option of woohoo in game, all the mods I’ve come across seem complex and/or really old and im skeptical
You're in luck! That's one of the features ACR offers. 🙂
Any of my sims who have the want for multiple partners I like to turn the jealousy off and allow all interactions with cheating. Especially if I put them in a relationship with other "players".
I think I did it wrong hood wide setting is not there
Nvm I figured it out
Glad you got it working!
I cant dowload help!!
The problems I have with mods like this is they put sims with sims I don’t like, end relationships I have set up and stuff like that. I wouldn’t mind it so much if it actually did what I wanted, but I’ll have an entire storyline set up for a sim, and the game will put them into a situation that I don’t want, like get them pregnant, or set them with somebody else and have them cheat etc.
I need total 100% control over everything and I expect the game to know what I’m thinking before I even think it.
Yeah, I’m complicated lol
Apparently the Auto Engagement & Auto Break-up are broken, or were removed or something.
Oh, that's too bad! I've never even tried to use them. Thanks for letting us know!
How can I stop them falling in love? I have a dorm of students who all seem to love each other just because they've been fooling around!
I know it’s an old comment but Midges romantic standards make the relationship in sims 2 more complicated and can be used with acr
@@AntiSolid3000 Thank you, I'll look it up!
@@vickylewis8558 yeah it's not perfect but i think chemistry plays a bigger part in that mod. Just make sure you back up your neighborhoods just in case you don't like it and run HCDU plus too see conflicts because it's also a pretty big mod
