Haha i had a huge obsession with downloading CC as a teenager playing the sims 2. I think it got to the point where i would spend more time downloading CC than playing the game! I had to delete a bunch eventually because the game was taking half an hour to load. 😅
SAME! My old family computer would take like 15 mins on each loading screen so it was like 30+ minutes just to get into a household and play xD it's a problem
It's like a whole new world! The fact that the game has so much CC/mods actually gives it longevity in the long run. There are new mods coming out to this day that elevate the way we play ts2 and give it a whole new twist.
Me too! And this is the 3rd or 4th time I've gotten into Sims 2 over the years, so I was trying to find the Sims 2 store items because I knew the store gave you additions like the swing and playmat for babies. But in my search I stumbled upon MTS and TSR. So since last year, I've been on a quest. Originally I only wanted more career options, more toys for kids and pets and more foods. Along the way I peeped at other objects and then I found mods like getting loans and begging for money and allowing pets and toddlers to use stairs and many more. I finally have stopped myself and am now painstakingly going through everything to make sure I have no duplicates or if I have similar items (like if I have 2 or 3 different pumpkin pies) I'm going to make sure I take the one that is the best fit. I had to buy a second newish laptop, because the one I bought originally is an HBPro with windows 10 and so I can't download the additions, just the base game (even with the patch), so I spent money to buy a used Windows XP laptop and hope this one will work for me (I couldn't do Vista, Vista wouldn't let me use cheats when I had a Vista before.)
This is such a labor of love! I’m just getting back into the Sims 2 (again 😅) and I’m so excited to use what you shared here. You’re so creative and inspiring ❤ Have a good day
you are an ANGEL for compiling such a huge list! THANK YOU for all the effort! Looks like I'll be going on a download-spree pretty soon! I already have some CC, but there's definitely MORE, MORE, MORE!! :3
Hiya! Just wanted to say thank you so much for keeping sims 2 alive. Thought it was long gone and that was a pleasant surprise to know people still creating content. Especially huge appreciation for this video, find out many interesting stuff for myself. Love your channel 🫶🏻
Thank you so much for your kind words, I truly appreciate it! 🧡 I never stopped playing ts2 and decided to start a channel because I think the game is still worth the hype all these years later.
You're an absolute legend for this tysm! Have you been backing up your mods from computer to computer for 20 years? I respect the dedication. I wish I still had the CC I used in 2008, but I was a kid back then and didn't back anything up 😂
This was such a good video to make to share cc. I have pretty much downloaded all of the links you have shared and now exploring some of the custom content creators tumblr's. Thank you for making and I can't wait until you make another video like this :)
Thanks for doing this! I had about half of the things you listed. Most of it from Veranka as I also went through their whole Tumblr and pretty much grabbed everything haha. I didn't know about the Feenwald Metropolitan Set and I got that as soon as you started taking about it. All the picture and posters you talked about were also immediately added to my game. Thank you again for doing something like this. You said it took a while to compile all of this and I can tell. I really appreciate your hard work on this!
OMG Bibi, I've been waiting for this for so long and I was so excited!!! Can you make a video showing some construction and decorating tips? Thank you so muuuch for your time doing this! Love from Brazil!
thank you so much for making this, I know it must've taken a lot of time. What is the mod you use to select and change the colours of item already on the lot?
There is no need for a mod to recolor already purchased items; it's the design tool, which is a function of the game. On a windows pc/laptop press 'R' on your keyboard and click on an object, if it has recolors a window will pop up so you can select the recolor you want. I suggest getting this mod if you're playing on a higher resolution: modthesims.info/d/671320/wider-design-tool.html
Thank you so much for organizing all these items and presenting them in such a nice way 🥰I'm not a builder in the sims myself and usually get stuff with lots I download but I love decorating the houses and many objects sure look nice. Sims 4 items really fit ts2 aesthetic.
Thank you. I've lost so much due to computer crashes and a divorce. I've been playing the game without CC but I miss it so much. Some of my favorites were Garden of Shadows, Mod the Sims, and Susa and Jope. I love this channel and appreciate you so much!!!!
I can relate, I also lost my very first custom neighborhood and all of my downloads when my first laptop died. x_x Garden of Shadows used to be my go-to back in the day!! It's still worth getting the stuff posted on there. Thanks for watching, I truly appreciate it
@@bibipixels I still have 2 older hard drives that *might* be able to be resurrected to save some CC from like 2006-2009-ish which I know looks rough but its more for my own nostalgia lol. My youngest child is now 13 and a good graphic artist so maybe they can teach me how to create and help me out lol. Thanks for talking with me! I love talking about Sims 2 with others!
The build cc with the windows is really helpful, these will make the houses more interesting, thank you Bibi! 🤩 Also, would you make a video with the neighborhood cc you like to use, like the sky?🌄
This is a really great list of CC, some excellent choices here. Thanks! How do you keep things organized ingame? My downloads folder is immaculate but my buy mode is chaos haha.
oh it's pretty chaotic in there ahahahah I'll never make a video on organization because of that reason, I'm not gonna lie to ppl 😂 I have about 50 large folders for several categories and try not to have too many sub-folders because it slows down the load times, that's p much it. 😶
Yes! Please more! I'm bringing myself back to sims 2 with sims 4 being a bigger dumpster fire than before. Thank you for this and hope you do more 🎉🎉❤❤
Thank you so much!! Can you find me in the direction of some basic cloak racks? Does not have to be functional. And what about the skylight windows you used in the Goth Manor? Thank you so much in advance!
I'm seeing this comment a bit later, sorry! I don't have many coat racks in my game, but the one I always use is the "Shop-at-home" Hacked Coat Hook: modthesims.info/d/225251/quot-shop-at-home-quot-hacked-coat-hook.html Other than that, the skylights I use are glass floors converted from sims 4: ethanmcgregor.tumblr.com/post/620529863251689472/finally-again-glass-floors-from-ts4-for-ts2 And the windows I used + other skylight pieces can be found here: modthesims.info/d/268213/victorian-greenhouse-set-updated-3-february-2008.html
OMG your content is amazing, I'm absolutely downloading most of these CCs, can you tell how you change the hight of the decorations? since there's no ctrl+9/ctrl+0 command for sims 2
Have fun with all of your new CC ❤️🔥 to shift objects up and down you need to have Apartment Life EP installed. You then use the bracket keys [ ] to move some wall hangings up/down walls. Additionally, I use a mod called Shiftable everything which lets you do the same with pretty much most objects in the game, much like you would in the sims 4: modthesims.info/d/670142/shiftable-everything-move-any-object-up-and-down.html

Aaahhh thank you so much you're too kind!!! 💕💕 Yes, I've been following the development of paralives and I'm looking forward to its release 🔥
