Mods in the sims 2 : This will slightly enhance my game, make money more realistic and make the game look prettier. Mods in the sims 4: Getting bored after 5 minutes without mods.
@@gaboxgamer5313 I had over 2000 hours in the Sims 4 and it puts me to sleep a few times. Now I roll back to the Sims 2 and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made.
EDIT/UPDATE: Unfortunately, the Simbology Site is down for good. I have uploaded the mods that are no longer available to my Mediafire account. The links in the description have been updated so you can still download them. Sorry for the inconvenience! Hey everyone! Thanks for watching! What are your must-have mods for The Sims 2?
Sim Manipulator is one of my favourites at the moment. It is so practical in so many ways. It's similar to the Sim Blender, but with more options. At least I feel like it has more.
The creator of the Townies Budget mode that you mentioned has lots of other mods that basically improve a lot of the in-game systems/features by making them more realistic: hobbies, social interactions, temperature, etc. I found them quite interesting.
Coming here so I can fix up my Sims 2 because EA clearly a doesn't give a s**t about the Sims 4 anymore! Especially after the whole Star Wars situation...
I just played Sims 2 for the first since the early 2000s today after years of sims 3 and 4. Can confidently say I forgot Sims was supposed to be a game and I was actually having fun which was new lol
Living for this video! I think one thing about The Sims 2 that scares me is CORRUPTION. I lost 2 full on weeks of gameplay, modifying terrain, making full on complete lots making more sims and ancestor sims due to corruption that I accidentally did with SIMPE and editing the memories. I had a backup but I basically lost the 2 weeks of gameplay! It would be an interesting idea on what to do to avoid corruption and if there is a way to fix it!
Part of me wants to download every single bit of realism enhancing cc objects and gameplay objects but my PC is staring at me with pain in its eyes just like "No please, please don't do this to me :("
I can't play without equal genetics now. And it's so much fun to see what the babies are gonna look like! Like the burbs having blond kids thanks to John's dad being blond. :)
Yes! These are exactly the kind of mods I look for in my own sims games, I have such a hard time finding “best realistic mods” lists that aren’t made up of only woohoo mods.
It bothered me so much that some lots in vanilla game have parking spots (for example, the shopping lot in strangetown) but the game doesn't generate cars to park there! These car related mods are so useful!! I think I'm going to download the body hair generator as well because this is something that I never knew existed but is really essential
Just to let you guys know that the Equal Genetics mod, the alien eyes one, doesn't work on your teenagers! You need to make a slight change in the file in SimPE to make it so your teens get alien eyes, otherwise, when they become teenagers their eyes will change to normal colour. Myself and Nopke both posted instructions on how to fix it in the comments of that download so I hope that helps!
I appreciate so much how you give explanations for each mod on how to use them; for the longest time I couldn’t figure out how to use the sky mods even with reading the instructions. Seeing you do it all in action really helps. Thank you for this video!! I also have a question if you’re okay with answering it: how do you make those little tooltip bubbles appear when you hover your cursor over buy/build mode items?
Those appear automatically when you hover over something in build/buy mode. I'm not sure why they wouldn't appear for you. Maybe you have a mod causing a problem? You may want to ask for more help on MTS if you aren't seeing them. Sorry!
You've inspired me to get back into The Sims 2! I have so many fond memories playing it when I was younger. Thanks for showing us how to update the game to make it even more magical!
I quit the Edukashon iz gud and do it manually with the job stopinater because I dont even let my sims be a nurse (level 3) and so on with no education or I dont mind them rising up as a criminal with no degree.
I've never liked Edukashon iz gud for the same reason. Needing a degree to be an athlete, musician or criminal is just as dumb as not needing one to be a doctor, lawyer or scientist.
Thank you for listing your mods. I never used mods in sims 2 but after watching your lets play videos I used your blog page and download a whole host of mods which has really improved my game play so thank you for that. Keep making videos I love them. X
Hey everybody! Not sure if anyone mentioned the below but I'd just like to add on! modthesims.info/d/399650/rugs-zmog-off-grid.html Rug fix for when placed diagonally since it becomes gliched. modthesims.info/t/478232 This isnt a mod as such but it is basically a shortened version of the cheats (boolprop -----) It needs to be placed in EA Games/config folder and you need to scroll down for it but it will be a download.
on here because i'm about to try and play TS2 after only ever playing TS4 because i'm tired of the dull and repetitive gameplay. i'm kind of scared of the adjustment it's going to take but you've sold me on this game. i love how passionately you speak on your channel and appreciate the work you put towards it. sending love :]
comming from your tutorial to download mode and cc. Started with the cc part, just getting into the modes. thanks so much, your a bless. was never able to understand anything about cc before this video! Im a big fan of the sims , but usualy im a console player, your sims 2 lets play made me tottaly switch to pc, feel bad for my sims 4 family who have been waiting for months now.. x) thanks a lot, i love your channel, your voice is very entertaning!
love how in depth this is! when you showed your downloads folder I gasped. I now realize I have been sorting my downloads like a caveman. I would just all dump all my .package files in the first level Downloads folder lol. Because of this, I’ve always had problems finding stuff so broken meshes and objects just stay in my game forever. The way you sort them by buy, build, CAS, and mods is brilliant!! You just solved a problem I’ve had for a longgg time. These videos are going to be so helpful for anyone in the future who needs some sims 2 guidance. I sure as heck learned a lot 😅
I know i'm quite late with this, but I reccommend adding some of your CC to a custom collection! I added all my Hood Set up items into one collection to make it easier to add skies, the car spawner, sim blender, etc to a lot when I'm sweeping through the town for the first time, then I add other things I use frequently such as the hacked computer, air conditioners and batbox into another collection so I can just open it up to add things into a new house! It's very helpful, in my opinion, and makes it so I dont have to click around the other categories to find them.
Love this video! I wanna mention a mod I love as well that is very useful for LGBT players. As we all know sadly gay marriage is not allowed in sims 2, it says "partnership" instead. But there is a mod that gives you transition serums so when your male sim for example drinks of the drink the game recognizes him as a woman and gives him a femal voice as well. And now your male sim can actually MARRY another male sim and the memories will say married and not entered partnership. The mod also makes it possible for men to be pregnant so you can make genetically correct children between two of the same gender.
There's actually mods for "marriage equality" to make it so all marriage memories say "married" instead of "joined partnership" as well as same-sex pregnancy! I've been using these mods basically since the game first came out. I know this is an old comment but I know there's a lot of people still getting into the game and learning about these mods even now!
Yes, that's true! I don't recommend Inteen usually because it conflicts with many of the mods that I regularly use and recommend. But it's an old classic that I know a lot of people still use. 😀
Thank you for sharing these mods. Even after playing for years, I've missed some! I really appreciate that you go through showing what they do. Would you consider doing more mod overviews?
The only mod of note I have installed is "community skilling" which is essential IMO. It allows you to gain skill points out of your home lot, without it Gyms/libraries are absolutely pointless unless you make a business out of them. I guess it's a bit of a cheat because you can just put a bunch of expensive objects on a community lot and use them without earning them but w/e. This could be balanced out with a ticketing machine if you want. I've also ALWAYS wanted a mod that adjusts sim bin founds either customly, or based on how many people are in the household; 20,000 at MAX is good enough for like 2 people, I wish it would give 10,000 founds per adult and 5,000 per dependent or something. Great vid, watched the whole thing even though I'll probably only end applying the community car/passing car mods!
I LOVE building my neighborhoods and missed it so much when I got Sims 4 and even 3 with the limitations, by comparison to Sims 2. The "parking lot" mod is EXACTLY what I need! That is so cool and fun, I can't wait to add it to my game! :D
Dear Cindy, I'm installing mods for the first time in my game (all vanilla) and I'm a veteran simer lol I would had been so scared if not for your great videos and tier lists!! Thank you!! 😄💕
So much information! This is very helpful. Thanks! My fav mod is the Sims blender, but for realism I do like the sky mods and the body hair. Oh! I can't decide!
1. If you use no20k, I recommend adding in Pescado's Money Order. With that, you can decide exactly how much money a Sim who moves out gets. You add the amount that you want the Sim to take with them to the money order and put it in their inventory. If you're moving out multiple Sims, you have to put it in the inventory of the Sim who uses the newspaper or computer. 2. Maybe Coral's going to have to move in with her daughter! 3. How do the skies and skylines affect your performance? I'm playing on a really old computer. 4. I still use the old version of the Community Time Project because I play university in the main hood and I really like how the mod handles it. 5. Is this Tarlia's fixed Pleasantview? I'm trying to figure out where the blonde hair came from. I assume Jennifer has a red recessive (since her brother has red hair.)
They don't affect my performance at all, but I have a good computer. However, I suspect they wouldn't impact it much even on an old one. :) Yes, this is a clean Pleasantview. I think John has a recessive blond since Brad Burb was blond, so I assume that's where it came from. And if Jennifer has a recessive too, that's probably why they keep having blondies in my game with equal genetics. It is fascinating!
Thanks so much for this. I might have to replace some of my old mods, especially the traffic shrub with the fire hydrant now! My personal favorite mod for the Sims 2 is definitely more personality please by dreadpirate. It adds so much more character to sims based on their personality.
This is really fab, thank you for the video! Especially the mod for being away while at a community lot - it's gonna be so helpful for conducting affairs! Great video!!
Thank you so much for including links with your thorough explanations 🙏🏼 trying to find mods through several OLD and likely broken links based on just a name or feature can be so daunting sometimes. Edited to add: OMG the organization of your downloads folder 🙌🏼 I could never lol
Wow thank you for the video! Love how you explained everything so well and showed exactly where to get all the mods and stuff. I’ll get them for sure! Some I saw the first time while binging your sims 2 lp :D (always do this while playing sims 3). The ones I personally already knew and use, are the hacked pc and sim blender. And I think the sim blender is my general must have mod. It’s just soo awesome and versatile to be able to do so much with just this mod and set the sims up and stuff!
Omg! I downloaded the "death by pregnancy" mod by midgethetree, which apparently gives a 10% chance of your sim dieing in child birth, and omg Cassandra Goth died giving birth to her second child!! :O
i just started playing ts2 again after not playing it for like a decade and im amazed that most of the mods i used to use are still around and there are even still new mods being made?!
i was just doing your tutorial to get the sims 2 to play which i'm so thankful for 'cause i loved playing the game when i was hardly even in middle school. but now i'm onto downloading some of the mods you talked about! xx
Just redownloaded the Sims2 on my new gaming computer my brother built for me for Christmas and I'm so excited to get started but needed to revive my college years by finding mods and such to make it the game I once had.... I can already tell that finding you via google search is EXACTLY what I needed. Your content and everything is amazing and you're such an inspiration. I can't wait to watch more and follow you on more platforms. New #fan4life
😂 I love this video because I used your blog when I reinstalled TS2 a while back to start my downloads folder so I have most of these! Except the hacked computer as I find its features a bit cheaty. And Edukashun Iz Gud I don’t have because I have other hacks to make jobs and promotions harder and pay less, and bills are higher and come more frequently. I figure that’s enough challenge for my Sims, so I don’t need to artificially prevent them from reaching Level 10 as well - life would be way too hard!
Thanks for putting together this list! I'm getting back in to playing Sims 2 and 3 more now and it's cool to see some of the newer mods (and mods i didn't know about).
Phaenoh's Let Kids Be Kids Lifespan and School Vacation Mods on Mod the Sims. The Lifespan fix is optional- some people prefer their own set-ups for age spans. But the school vacation mod gives kids a summer break and a "Winter's Day" holiday off from school that has changed my gameplay. My sim kids and teens get a lot more of a chance to develop personalities and make friends when they have 5 days off school for summer break, versus the constant wake up-school-homework-fun need-sleep cycle.
Thanks a lot for this useful video full of interesting mods. Especially hacked computer - this one can come in handy if you want to update sims’ lives to nowadays standards when you can buy pretty much everything online.
i never played the sims2 but i enjoyed every second of this video. and i might need to consider looking for mods that could make my sism4 gameplay more realistic
Idk who I want to do this, but I want a sims TH-camr to recreate entire family trees into one game from the family founders taking from all the games- like combining all the family trees into one! If I had the set up for recording, I would myself, but alas, I cannot.
I just installed Sims 2 bc of ur videos! These really help because im new to the whole modding community, i installed the body hair thing before getting to watch this video along with the batbox and i never found them until now because i thought it was a box as a UI not a literal ingame box 😅
I'm really excited for these mods. Played sims 2 for years and kind of stopped looking for downloads many years ago as I've gotten older. I'm excited to spice up this game!!
i want the sims 2 so bad!!! ive only played 3 and 4 and i feel like now i need to play 2! also guys on mac go to the app store the sims 2 super collection is there with all expansions for 30$ not bad.
Such a great video and that equal genetics mod is a godsend. I'm just getting ready to get back into the game, and this is exactly what I was hoping for.
I just found out about your channel! I love playing the sims 2 and I love that you're making videos about this amazing game! Most simmers only play TS4 atm. I'm totally trying all these mods!
Thank you for this video! I recently started playing the Sims 2 again and these mods are something that come in handy, especially because the game is quite old. Keep it up :)
Hi Cindy I’m having trouble whenever I load up my sims the custom content doesn’t show up :( all the hair and clothes are not on there. I followed everything correctly just used my zip extractor that I previously already had for my sims 4 modding I’m not sure why it’s not working
I’m loving the helpful video series! Very good for someone like me who has minimal experience with the Sims 2. May I suggest a video about replacing EA defaults? As in, how you have replaced EA hairs, clothes, etc.
I assume you saw the say-nay-to-blades overlay box for female body hair? It has been posted at the plumbobkeep. My must have mods are: notownieregen, antiredundancy, there can be only one professor, macrotastics, autosoc, business runs you, bathroom uses you, nounlinkdelete, creaturefixes, all-in-one-NPC, romantic standards, chrishatch alternate pregnancy controller, CTP and single leftovers. Although there are many more...
Thanks, Cindy! My simming style is so much like yours and I'm just so grateful that you have spent so much time sharing your gameplay and how you set up your games with all of us! These realism mods are so great! I think it would add a lot of depth to the game if Family Sims got sad if their Try for Baby failed. As far as I can tell, the success or failure of Try for Baby doesn't even register with the involved sims. Do you know of a mod that does this? (I know I'm posting like 2 years after you uploaded this video, but I just recently got back into the Sims 2 so I am just discovering a lot of these Sims 2 videos)
Hi Cindy, after years not playing Sims 2 anymore, I decided to play again...lol....tired of Sims 3 & 4 for a bit! Watches ALL your videos, and I love it! My question....I see you sort your downloads folder into first, second, etc loads.....please advise which comes first and so forth ....like cc clothing, skins, jewelry, etc, and of course the tweaks (mods)...thanks
Question: Do you need both the Bat Box and Bat Box as Vase in your game for the vase version to function? I can't seem to find this answer anywhere online.
Chris Hatches genetic baby hair works better. You can also get different styles that you can change in game (just like other sims). He also made buyable baby clothes.
I don't mean to sound mean, but I have to correct something. The Alternate Pregnancy Controller Lite does NOT add a miscarriage memory by itself. The custom memory needs to be downloaded seperatly. It's the Inteenimater_C.package: simfileshare.net/folder/22466/ Once this memory is installed they work in conjungtion meaning if a Sim has a miscarriage the memory gets automatically generated.
Thanks for this! Really helped me find some new things for my game. I know you primarily focus on the sims 2, but if you have any realistic mods for the sims 3, I'd love to see a video on those too :)

I LOVE building my neighborhoods and missed it so much when I got Sims 4 and even 3 with the limitations, by comparison to Sims 2. The "parking lot" mod is EXACTLY what I need! That is so cool and fun, I can't wait to add it to my game! :D
Dear Cindy, I'm installing mods for the first time in my game (all vanilla) and I'm a veteran simer lol I would had been so scared if not for your great videos and tier lists!! Thank you!! 😄💕
So much information! This is very helpful. Thanks! My fav mod is the Sims blender, but for realism I do like the sky mods and the body hair. Oh! I can't decide!
1. If you use no20k, I recommend adding in Pescado's Money Order. With that, you can decide exactly how much money a Sim who moves out gets. You add the amount that you want the Sim to take with them to the money order and put it in their inventory. If you're moving out multiple Sims, you have to put it in the inventory of the Sim who uses the newspaper or computer.
2. Maybe Coral's going to have to move in with her daughter!
3. How do the skies and skylines affect your performance? I'm playing on a really old computer.
4. I still use the old version of the Community Time Project because I play university in the main hood and I really like how the mod handles it.
5. Is this Tarlia's fixed Pleasantview? I'm trying to figure out where the blonde hair came from. I assume Jennifer has a red recessive (since her brother has red hair.)
They don't affect my performance at all, but I have a good computer. However, I suspect they wouldn't impact it much even on an old one. :)
Yes, this is a clean Pleasantview. I think John has a recessive blond since Brad Burb was blond, so I assume that's where it came from. And if Jennifer has a recessive too, that's probably why they keep having blondies in my game with equal genetics. It is fascinating!
oh, I just recently started collect (?) my Downloads folder, and this video is very helpful
thank you, Cindy
Glad it was helpful! 💙
Thanks so much for this. I might have to replace some of my old mods, especially the traffic shrub with the fire hydrant now! My personal favorite mod for the Sims 2 is definitely more personality please by dreadpirate. It adds so much more character to sims based on their personality.
This is really fab, thank you for the video! Especially the mod for being away while at a community lot - it's gonna be so helpful for conducting affairs! Great video!!
Thank you so much for including links with your thorough explanations 🙏🏼 trying to find mods through several OLD and likely broken links based on just a name or feature can be so daunting sometimes.
Edited to add: OMG the organization of your downloads folder 🙌🏼 I could never lol
Wow thank you for the video! Love how you explained everything so well and showed exactly where to get all the mods and stuff. I’ll get them for sure! Some I saw the first time while binging your sims 2 lp :D (always do this while playing sims 3). The ones I personally already knew and use, are the hacked pc and sim blender. And I think the sim blender is my general must have mod. It’s just soo awesome and versatile to be able to do so much with just this mod and set the sims up and stuff!
Omg! I downloaded the "death by pregnancy" mod by midgethetree, which apparently gives a 10% chance of your sim dieing in child birth, and omg Cassandra Goth died giving birth to her second child!! :O
i just started playing ts2 again after not playing it for like a decade and im amazed that most of the mods i used to use are still around and there are even still new mods being made?!
i was just doing your tutorial to get the sims 2 to play which i'm so thankful for 'cause i loved playing the game when i was hardly even in middle school. but now i'm onto downloading some of the mods you talked about! xx
Just redownloaded the Sims2 on my new gaming computer my brother built for me for Christmas and I'm so excited to get started but needed to revive my college years by finding mods and such to make it the game I once had.... I can already tell that finding you via google search is EXACTLY what I needed. Your content and everything is amazing and you're such an inspiration. I can't wait to watch more and follow you on more platforms. New #fan4life
This video is sooo helpful, it's also great that you show gameplay with the mods, too. Thanks Cindy!!
Glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching janezed! 💙💙
For some reason, I find your accent very relaxing 🤤
😊 thank you
Thanks for the video! I already had most of the mods you introduced but found couple new ones that I totally need to my game!
Glad you found something useful! Thank you for watching, Emma! 💙
This was great! I thought I had all the mods you use....but there were a couple surprises on the list that I will be downloading! Thanks Cindy 😊👍🏻
Thank you for watching Jenn! 💙
😂 I love this video because I used your blog when I reinstalled TS2 a while back to start my downloads folder so I have most of these! Except the hacked computer as I find its features a bit cheaty. And Edukashun Iz Gud I don’t have because I have other hacks to make jobs and promotions harder and pay less, and bills are higher and come more frequently. I figure that’s enough challenge for my Sims, so I don’t need to artificially prevent them from reaching Level 10 as well - life would be way too hard!
Thanks for putting together this list! I'm getting back in to playing Sims 2 and 3 more now and it's cool to see some of the newer mods (and mods i didn't know about).
My current must have now is your organisation system for your all CC. I need that! 😂
Good to know people still are into Sims 2, I'm starting up after not playing for years. Thanks for the helpful video :)
ACR has always been my fave Sims 2 mod, hands down
Is there an updated link for acr? The link in the description doesn't work for me and I can't find it anywhere else.
Just re downloaded the sims 2, and your videos /website have been so helpful. Thank you cindy!!
Phaenoh's Let Kids Be Kids Lifespan and School Vacation Mods on Mod the Sims. The Lifespan fix is optional- some people prefer their own set-ups for age spans. But the school vacation mod gives kids a summer break and a "Winter's Day" holiday off from school that has changed my gameplay. My sim kids and teens get a lot more of a chance to develop personalities and make friends when they have 5 days off school for summer break, versus the constant wake up-school-homework-fun need-sleep cycle.
Thank you! I always go to your videos when i need to find mods for my sims 2 :D
Love it thanks !! As I'm not english barive sometimes it's difficult for me to cleaey understand how certain mods work. So thanks it's crystal clear !
Thanks a lot for this useful video full of interesting mods. Especially hacked computer - this one can come in handy if you want to update sims’ lives to nowadays standards when you can buy pretty much everything online.
Absolutely! It comes in very handy! 😀
i never played the sims2 but i enjoyed every second of this video. and i might need to consider looking for mods that could make my sism4 gameplay more realistic
Idk who I want to do this, but I want a sims TH-camr to recreate entire family trees into one game from the family founders taking from all the games- like combining all the family trees into one! If I had the set up for recording, I would myself, but alas, I cannot.
i'm putting so much effort on this lol, thank you so much! what's the mod for that sims 4 look that your game has? it's lovely
I just installed Sims 2 bc of ur videos! These really help because im new to the whole modding community, i installed the body hair thing before getting to watch this video along with the batbox and i never found them until now because i thought it was a box as a UI not a literal ingame box 😅
I'm really excited for these mods. Played sims 2 for years and kind of stopped looking for downloads many years ago as I've gotten older. I'm excited to spice up this game!!
i want the sims 2 so bad!!! ive only played 3 and 4 and i feel like now i need to play 2! also guys on mac go to the app store the sims 2 super collection is there with all expansions for 30$ not bad.
Such a great video and that equal genetics mod is a godsend. I'm just getting ready to get back into the game, and this is exactly what I was hoping for.
the sims 2 is the most realistic sims game, imo. I feel like the sims 3 and 4 is way to childish. And omg, the sims 2 with these mods is def pg13.
I love it because it’s hard. The Sims 3 and 4 are way too easy. Pregnant Sims are immune to death and more.
ElisaAstrid I've only played Sims 3 and 4. I hated 4, but always felt SO connected to Sims 3. I really hope that I can get Sims 2 soon.
@@satine2342 Bby its free on origin just download it
Honestly your video shows everything i could ever want in my game. thanks alot
I just found out about your channel! I love playing the sims 2 and I love that you're making videos about this amazing game! Most simmers only play TS4 atm. I'm totally trying all these mods!
What a great, great video!
Thank you so much for the suggestions 🙏🏾
Ahhh yes THANK YOU for this!!
**runs off to download all of this**
Lol! Thank you for watching! Enjoy the mods!
Thank you for this video! I recently started playing the Sims 2 again and these mods are something that come in handy, especially because the game is quite old. Keep it up :)
Hi Cindy I’m having trouble whenever I load up my sims the custom content doesn’t show up :( all the hair and clothes are not on there. I followed everything correctly just used my zip extractor that I previously already had for my sims 4 modding I’m not sure why it’s not working
I’m loving the helpful video series! Very good for someone like me who has minimal experience with the Sims 2. May I suggest a video about replacing EA defaults? As in, how you have replaced EA hairs, clothes, etc.
Thank you! I will add that to my list of topics! 💙
Hey Cindy! I was wondering if you ever thought about doing a video about how you handle finances in your neighborhoods with taxes?
Yes, that video is actually coming up very soon! 😀
I assume you saw the say-nay-to-blades overlay box for female body hair? It has been posted at the plumbobkeep.
My must have mods are: notownieregen, antiredundancy, there can be only one professor, macrotastics, autosoc, business runs you, bathroom uses you, nounlinkdelete, creaturefixes, all-in-one-NPC, romantic standards, chrishatch alternate pregnancy controller, CTP and single leftovers.
Although there are many more...
Thanks, Cindy! My simming style is so much like yours and I'm just so grateful that you have spent so much time sharing your gameplay and how you set up your games with all of us! These realism mods are so great! I think it would add a lot of depth to the game if Family Sims got sad if their Try for Baby failed. As far as I can tell, the success or failure of Try for Baby doesn't even register with the involved sims. Do you know of a mod that does this?
(I know I'm posting like 2 years after you uploaded this video, but I just recently got back into the Sims 2 so I am just discovering a lot of these Sims 2 videos)
omg thank you so much, nobody ever makes sims 2 content and im in love with the sims 2!
Amaaaazing video! So detailed. I only have a few of these. Thank you!!!
Glad it was helpful! 💙💙
Hi Cindy, after years not playing Sims 2 anymore, I decided to play again...lol....tired of Sims 3 & 4 for a bit! Watches ALL your videos, and I love it! My question....I see you sort your downloads folder into first, second, etc loads.....please advise which comes first and so forth ....like cc clothing, skins, jewelry, etc, and of course the tweaks (mods)...thanks
Awesome video Cindy!
Glad you liked it!! Thank you for watching! 💙
I'm Binge watching your channel and Downloading Sims 2 👍
Question: Do you need both the Bat Box and Bat Box as Vase in your game for the vase version to function? I can't seem to find this answer anywhere online.
I just downloaded the computer mod . It does a lot in sims 2..omg i really like it. I also download brothel wohoo for my sims 2 .
tysm. I never knew some of these mods existed!
loved it Cindy! it would be fun to see more mod related videos! I CANNOT GET ENOUGH LOL! Hope you have a nice day
11:57
I just wish you can pick certain careers to “not succeed”
Take athlete for example.there’s a few HoF who never went to college
I love the social benefits mod, couldnt play without it :)
18:59 - How do you scroll to the very edge like that? Is this another mod?
When you named the babies Bill and Ted that made me so happy!!! :,) :,)
Chris Hatches genetic baby hair works better. You can also get different styles that you can change in game (just like other sims). He also made buyable baby clothes.
The cars driving by!!! Wow😃 Never knew there was a mod for that, thank you!
I don't mean to sound mean, but I have to correct something. The Alternate Pregnancy Controller Lite does NOT add a miscarriage memory by itself. The custom memory needs to be downloaded seperatly. It's the Inteenimater_C.package: simfileshare.net/folder/22466/ Once this memory is installed they work in conjungtion meaning if a Sim has a miscarriage the memory gets automatically generated.
Thanks so much Hendrik! I thought it came with the mod, but that's very good to know! I'll have to download that for myself.
Thanks for this! Really helped me find some new things for my game. I know you primarily focus on the sims 2, but if you have any realistic mods for the sims 3, I'd love to see a video on those too :)
Thanks for the idea! I'll add it to my list of topics!
Wow Cindy! Thank you so much for this Video, I‘ve been waiting so long for a „Must-Have Mods“ Video from You!
Hallo, From germany 🇩🇪 ❤️
Thank you! Hello to Germany!
