Sims 2 build mode bug fix

Does it get past the point you'd normally expect it to lock up or crash to desktop? If the problem still persists then it is not due to custom content, but rather that there is a problem with your game installation, your computer's software or even hardware. Such matters are well beyond the scope of the Support that Parsimonious can provide. I recommend this Sims Wiki topic:.

If the problem goes away when you take out your custom content downloads then it is something you have installed. If you suspect a bad file is causing your game to crash then you'll need to identify and get rid of it. There's no quick and easy answer to this, especially if you download large quantities of custom content without paying close attention to compatibility or usage instructions. The Sims 2 will not start when you click on the icon to run it.

This is a common problem and often easily fixed. With this file Sims will gain logical enthusiasm gain from decorative items. For example, looking at the fruit bowl raises food enthusiasm instead of arts and crafts. This package will enable all missing Seasons and FreeTime functions. The red hair with pink head bank incorrectly pulls the brown hair texture for the fringe and the green band will not show for elders.

This link takes you to the files needed to fix this. Not required if you have Apartment Life installed! Missing FreeTime functions are restored with this fix as well as an issue with the screen of the new TV. Apartment Life reintroduced the windows from Open For Business but in doing so made it so that any custom recolours will no longer show.

With AL came the ability to move wall hangings up and down the walls. With the linked files you will also be able to move wall signs, easel paintings, uni and BV photos and photo booth photos as well. AL introduced some nice new hats for our Sims but didn't allow them to be worn as outerwear, including the witch hats! The links below take you to threads that fix these issues. The new Open Mic object cannot be used by Sims that are non-controllable making the item pointless on community lots.

With this fix all Sims can now use it and other Sims can watch. With this fix witches and warlocks will no longer have their alignment pulled back to neutral when casting neutral spells. With this fix Sims will now gain fitness when they jump rope. Surely only kids jump rope just for fun? Apartment life isn't needed for this but its a bit pointless unless you have ceilings in your game. The Lunatech light has been raised so that it now sits in ceilings correctly.

With Apartment Life EA altered the code on orchard trees but not on garden plots which mean that the code could try to change Sims into Plantsims that shouldn't be allowed. This is a bad thing. Get the fix at the following link along with some other you might find useful. When a Sim who has one of the hairs from Mansion and Garden Stuff ages up the hair alters to a randomly assigned style. This fix ensures the hair stays the same when a Sim ages. This download stops them doing so.

This file corrects the rug and its recolours. Simply click on the name of the latest pack you own to find compatable hacks, mods and fixes: and SimBiology. LordDarcy over at Mod the Sims 2 has some great fixes too.

Posted: Tue Oct 02, pm. I don't know of any, but I was wondering if you've heard any of them to fix the sims shaking constantly. It's really weird. They sit at the table and shake violently and constantly. They can eat and drink, but they shake the entire time. It's only happened mainly while they were at the table, but it has happened other times. If you find anything, I'd really appreciate it. Friendly Regular 7, Points Posted: Wed Oct 03, pm. Are you making them drink a lot of coffee? If Sims drink coffee too often they start to shake a lot.

Posted: Wed Oct 10, pm. Well I never make them, but there was a coffee maker in the house. Thanks :] Fin Raziel. Update 2 Jan : Added the reallyNotMisty version. See the known bugs section.

Where have you been for so long and why hasn't this been figured out sooner? THank you again! Hi, Cindy! Thank you for this detailed list. It brings to the correct page, but when you click the download link from that page it gives an error. Do you know if it is located anywhere else? Was wondering about the size of your download folder? Wondering about yours? Hi Taylor! I have around 8Gb of CC right now.

I used to have about 12Gb before I did a clean out a few months ago. Thank you so much! I know many have said it before, but really you deserve it! Since simwardrobe is no longer. Hi Charlotte!

Link is for Sim File Share. I think the old site is defunct. Could you please replace links for the SimBlender and anything else from Simbology so that others can access it? Thanks, Luke. Is Smarter Beds better than sleepinyourownbed? I use SmartBeds and occasionally have to reset bed ownership on custom beds if my Sim refuses to sleep. If possible, could you let me know where you got it? I have never bred pets in my game, either, but watching you wrangle those cats into the doghouse to try for kittens has inspired me to try!

Hello, Cindy! There is an archive. I felt like this was specifically important to mention since this is a pretty big mod in your gameplay. I did find a link to this mod in the archive on Sims File Share of all the big simbology mods! Yes, I plan to update my links very soon. Thank you for the tip in the meantime! They are the only ones I watch. This page is a godsend to me as well. So many wonderful resources. I have one suggestion:. I also have a question about your link to Community Time.

Is this the same as the Chris Hatch mod? Have you had weird glitches with this one? I just remove it when I go on vacation.

Thank you!! I use the updated Chris Hatch version of Community Time. I like it better because it works with University. The only issue I have is that it screws up pregnancy length if you send a pregnant Sim to a community lot.

They do but it takes time. Don Lothario had sex with a lot of women but he only loves couple of them in my games. And it makes sence. Poor Malcolm is constantly rejected sex by his own wife, Nina. I find so realistic. Sexual orientation actually matters with this mod. It basically allows pregnant sim to asdign father to the baby while not changing its genetics. I used it for Landgraabs Poor Malcolm thinks the baby is his, he has the memory and the baby is in his family tree. Thank you for all the amazing mod suggestions.

My game is amazing now! I wanted to let you know that some of the links no longer worked due to Simbology shutting down. Thank you for all you do! Do you can make a tutorial to how take the lag of the sims 2 UC for those who have a copy by origin? Hi Ana. Have you used graphics rules maker and applied the 4gb patch? Thank you so much for inspiring a refreshing new outlook on the game! However, upon trying to download it, I get error code internal server error.

Is there something wrong on my side or is it in the link? Hi Alice! It should be back up now. Yup, I got it downloaded! Am I supposed to do anything with it before putting it in my downloads folder? Lots are installed differently than CC and mods. Instead, extract the package file to your desktop and double click it. Wait a minute or two and an installer will appear asking you if you want to install the lot.

Now you should find the lot in your lots and houses bin. I love your gameplay rules and I decided to download some of your recommended mods to spice up things in my game. Could you please give me some advice how to deal with this? HI Barbi! You obviously have a mod conflict somewhere. Thank you so much for your list of mods! Its super helpful! I just wanted to point out that the link for SimPE is no longer working, I just wanted to let you know! I want to download but I will wait for your response since when i googled it, it was kinda confusing lol.

Hi Nicole! The original site for SimPE is no longer functional, unfortunately. I will update the post too. I just have a question, what mod did you use for the babies to be clothed when they are born? Hi Miah! Thank you so much for this list! I started watching your Sims 2 videos on YouTube several months ago and you inspired me to download my favorite Sims game again. I never really played the game like that when it first came out. Keep up the amazing work!

Thank you so much, Tyler! Hi Cindy!! Can you help me? Did you edited the values on simPE or you just left how it was when you downloaded? If so, can you tell me the values? Sorry in advance for my broken english. Its not my first language hahah. Hi Claire! No, you do not need to edit anything. Just place the files in your downloads folder as they are. These files have already been edited to make the genetics equal. Hi Cindy, I need a help. I have installed some of your recommended mods including Edukashun Iz Gud, more realistist paymemt, taxi charges, car chages, community lot time etc.

Actually, I am having two problems, first thing, last 3 are not working, commuting lot not passed and taxi is still free. No notification also come that the sim has brought this much money. What could be the issue for this. I had a similar issue and had to remove the taxis and cars cost money mods. They seems to conflict with community lot time. Thanks for reminding me! I need to update the post with a warning that these may conflict. This may fix the problem too.

They both are conflicting with each other. Either I can keep commutity timing mod, or taxi and car cost money. Both are not waorking together. Hi, thank you so much for your mod list! Tried installing a the moreawesomethanyou mod to stop townies and the object rotate mod but they just crash the game. Is there another way to do it that wont crash my game? Hi Becky. Those mods alone will not crash your game. They are well-known, stable mods.

You can use the Hack Conflict Detection Utility to check for mod conflicts. Google it. If you have Ultimate Collection, it takes some fiddling. Been watching your videos for a while now and I really enjoy your content!

Do you know if theres anywhere else I can get the lot? Hi there! I will update the post! Hi Julia! Not quite sure what you mean. Do you mean exporting them or editing them? Incidentally, what do the Sim: Score files do? Under the Unofficial AL patch, what do the sshack. SShack — makes the social worker behave more reasonably. You should close this site immediately. Yes, absolutely! Are there any mods you recommend installing before running it? I ran it for the first time today and got a long list of errors it found on the pre-made neighborhoods, despite me having barely played the game and the only other mod I currently have being one that changes the appearance of the milk bottle.

And you still may run into errors. If you have Night Life installed, there will always be errors with the Tricou family.

Thanks for linking me to that. Hi Cindy, I recently downloaded a bunch of mods from your list. The only problem is my sims now reset when I hover over them or even other sims. I can interact with other people living on the lot, but neighbours just trigger the reset.

Was wondering if you knew what to do, Thanks! It sounds like a mod conflict — probably one that modifies the pie menu in some way. I would start by taking those out and testing without them.

I discovered your channel last week and today I started watching your reboot of Pleasantview and I felt like playing TS2 again, so I installed it and fixed all the graphics problems thanks to your great tutorial.

Do you know if these mods work for the base game, too? Hi Jimmy! You can always install them and try them out in a test neighborhood to see if you have any issues. Can this be uninstalled?

Do you have problems with this mod if you walk to lot? I love your YouTube channel. I like to zone out to it when I just want to chill. Hi Megan! No harm done! Hi, again! Please help? Hi Kendra! I figured out how to do it not long after I sent the comment. But now I have another problem. I ran my Downloads folder through the Clean Installer in order to see if maybe I had some duplicates or conflictions.

I took out the duplicates that I did find, but certain mods are still highlighted red, such as the CJ mods. If there is any reason why this would be happening and what I could do to fix this, please let me know.

The Seasons and Weather Controller mod download page seems to be down. Do you have any other link to that mod? Thanks for letting me know! The one listed here should be the same as the other post. Thanks for catching that! Sorry for the late reply.

Is it still possible to download the mod Adult-Teen attraction? Hi fanny! Thank you Cindy! This is just letting you know it modifies game behavior. Do you remember? Can you post me the link to download these curtains?
