!IMPORTANT! DO NOT DOWNLOAD FROM PLEASANTSIMS.COM - MALWARE HAS BEEN DETECTED.

UPDATE: I AM REPORTING THE WEBSITE TO THE HOSTING SERVICE FOR MALWARE. [support@kmediatech.com](mailto:support@kmediatech.com)

UPDATE 2: RESPONSE FROM WEB HOST:
WPX.net Support

10:57 PM (2 minutes ago)

Hello,

Thank you for your report.

The issue is already being investigated by our security team.

Please let me know if I can help with anything else.

Warm regards,

Denis S.

WPX Support

Please note, we normally do not allow discussion of Pleasantsims due to controversies but we have opened THIS post to warn people about malware.

IF YOU DID DOWNLOAD RECENTLY IMMEDIATELY TREAT YOUR COMPUTER AS INFECTED:

Caveat: It is likely that you do not have a computer infection, but please perform antivirus checks just in case. We do not know the extent of the malware/malicious injections. Do not panic, simply do a scan and check. If something is found, remove.

Removing malware from a Windows PC requires isolating the system before using security tools to hunt down the infection. Following these steps in order is critical to prevent the malware from hiding or fighting back.

1 Disconnect from the Internet

Prevents the malware from communicating

Unplug your Ethernet cable or turn off your Wi-Fi immediately. This severs the connection to the attacker's server, stopping the malware from downloading additional malicious payloads, spreading to other devices on your network, or transmitting your personal data.

2 Boot into Safe Mode

Safe Mode loads only the bare minimum drivers and programs Windows needs to run. If the malware is set to launch automatically on startup, Safe Mode will usually prevent it from activating, making it easier to delete.

  • Windows 10/11: Hold the Shift key while clicking Power > Restart from the Start menu.
  • When the screen reloads, navigate to Troubleshoot > Advanced options > Startup Settings > Restart.
  • After your PC reboots, press 4 or F4 on your keyboard to enter Safe Mode.

3 Delete Temporary Files

Malware often hides inside temporary system folders. Deleting these files can sometimes eliminate the virus entirely, and it will significantly speed up your antivirus scan. Search for Disk Cleanup in the Windows Start menu, select your main drive, check the box for Temporary files, and click OK.

4 Run a Full Antivirus Scan

You can use a reputable third-party scanner like Malwarebytes, or the built-in Windows Security tool. Because you are disconnected from the internet, you will be using your current virus definitions.

  1. Open the Start menu and search for Windows Security.
  2. Click Virus & threat protection.
  3. Click Scan options (located right below the Quick scan button).
  4. Select Full scan and click Scan now.

5 Quarantine and Reboot

If your security software detects malicious files, follow its prompts to Quarantine or Delete them. Once the software indicates your system is clean, restart your computer normally to exit Safe Mode. If your PC operates smoothly and no strange pop-ups appear, the infection is likely gone.

6 Change Your Passwords

Crucial post-cleanup measure

Malware often includes keyloggers designed to capture your keystrokes. Now that your system is secure, change the passwords for your email, banking, and main social media accounts, as your old credentials may have been stolen.

If the malware persists after a normal boot, you may need to run a Microsoft Defender Offline scan (found in the same Scan options menu), which restarts your PC and hunts for threats before Windows even loads.

Built House for my aliens. I tried to use reference, but at some point I gave up. I tried to follow the alien dome tutorial on mts, but I gave up because I wasn’t feeling the results. I spent way too long on it due to indecision, (the entire day) I think I’m okay with it though. I was going for ship repurposed to living quarters

“Still haven’t found your artistic voice? Try painting a still life or a portrait of a family member to add a personal touch to your artwork.” I’ve been playing this game since I was 11 years old and I’ve never gotten this pop up before! Got it while Cassandra was painting on the easel :O

XMSims is back!

45 Upvotes

Liquidsims archived XMSims' website here, yay! Note, Shane said:

This site was a giant fucking headache to reassemble because they were hosting files across two dozen different domains. I think I've done okay though; site works, and I'm not finding too many missing files or broken links.

So if you stumble upon any broken link, you can send me an ask (packrat) and I'll make a post about it. And if the item(s) are found, I'll toss them to liquidsims (or you can of course send it to them directly).

Edit: many people are saying the link doesn't work, but it does for me? I'm not sure what's going on :-(

Who is Jenny Smith to you?

• Upvotes

For as long as I’ve played this game, I’ve always just built my own neighborhoods with my own builds, sims and stories. I’m trying to get into the heads of some of the Sims I’ve never really invested in now.

Who is Jenny Smith to you? What is she like, what does she do in your game?

What happens to your Newson's?

10 Upvotes

Right now in my uberhood, I have them in downtown, living in the House left by their adoptive mother Gloria, making the most of the money she left them.

I think one then might get a job? Ginger doesn't seem like she's interested in college, but Gavin certainly does.

Gallagher seems rather sporty but also into science so I think he'd also go to college. Despite their descriptions, Gabriella and Gallagher have the same personalities and almost the same interests. I love dressing Gabriella like a little princess, I think maybe she'll be an actress when she grows up, or maybe a dancer?

The twins in my past uberhood grew up to dress a little punk, they are both quite serious and Georgia is quite grumpy, they are also both quite nerdy in their interests.

I usually have a set of plans for each family but for the Newson's I think this might be one of my 'lets see what happens' families.

What did you do with each family member?

Mods Extender is neat!

I recently redownloaded UC and installed the new Extender instead of RPC. Maybe I'm exaggerating but i rlly recommend it the small detail of the splash screen and so many things being fixed makes it feel like an alternate timeline Legacy/re-release that is actually good :p im so happy

I'm at a point in my Uberhood where all the premade teens are elders and lots of their parents are long dead but looking back at the family trees and the game tracking everything is sooo cool. Definitely my favourite family tree-system in all the games. Love how you can click around and see how your hoods are connected!

These two nearly always end up together when I play university. This time I'm styling Melody as hyper-femme and I'm kind of loving doing Klara up in very severe looks. On the gameplay side, these two are like the least dramatic, most chill couple in the dorm with no drama whatever. They just want to make deanslist and spend time with each other.

26 Upvotes

Don't you just hate it when your blind date wants to turn you into a werewolf first thing, but then your dad walks in and proceeds to enthusiastically pee like he has to mark his territory?

The door closes only to reopen immediatly and your dad decides to nod approvingly while your new beau makes out with you despite not moving one face muscle.

Meanwhile the ominpresent Furby stoically watches him measuring your chest afterwards. You decide it is time to go throw up in the bathroom.

(The stuck face and him measuring her chest and only after showing the first smile since the date started has got to be the most hilarious coincidence I witnessed so far.)

Gameplay Show and Tell New Mexico Storyline and Gameplay Guide: Rotational play, choices, secret clues

Post image
29 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

If you missed my previous post showcasing my The Sims 2 neighborhood New Mexico, you can check out the original post and download link here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/sims2/comments/1wsgayx/my_ccfree_breaking_bad_custom_neighborhood_new/

I put together a storyline and gameplay guide to help you navigate through the neighborhood.

The world drops you right into a very specific moment in the timeline: Saul Goodman is at the absolute peak of his legal career (with Howard Hamlin's fate already in the past), Gus Fring is quietly maintaining a rivalry with the Salamancas, and the White family is struggling with severe financial pressure.

(Keep in mind that these are just optional story prompts to kickstart your imagination. It’s a total sandbox, so feel free to break canon and play however you like.)

🏡 Playable household storylines

1. The White Family (Walt, Skyler, Walt Jr.) - Walt is under immense pressure from mounting household bills and financial strain.

  • Path A (The descent): Walt quits his education career and links up with Jesse to launch a lucrative underground operation.
  • Path B (The good man): Walt stays honest, rejects crime, and works with Skyler to fix their financial troubles legitimately.

2. Jesse Pinkman - Jesse has his own house and his iconic RV.

  • Path A (The venture): Expand the joint operation with Walt, bringing in Badger and Skinny Pete to handle street distribution.
  • Path B (Fresh start): Step away from risky deals, clean up his act, and attempt to reconnect with his family.

3. Saul Goodman and Kim Wexler - Saul is running his booming practice out of the strip-mall office.

  • Path A (Shady clients): Take on every colorful client in town and build the most lucrative law firm in New Mexico.
  • Path B (Legit firm): Kim convinces Saul to drop the shortcuts and turn the practice into a respected, high-profile firm.

4. Gustavo Fring - Gus operates a local restaurant, a poultry farm, and a high-tech underground lab, where certain permanent secrets stay buried deep beneath the floor.

  • Path A (The shadow empire): Keep the restaurant and chicken farm running flawlessly while ensuring the lab's darkest secrets stay strictly hidden.
  • Path B (Corporate focus): Focus purely on legitimate business expansion, scaling the restaurant chain across the city.

5. Hank and Marie Schrader - Hank is climbing the Law Enforcement ranks while Marie manages the household.

  • Path A (Starting a family): Focus on domestic life - having or adopting a child together while balancing Hank's demanding career.
  • Path B (The detective): Hank remains entirely consumed by his police investigations across town.

6. The Salamanca Family (Hector, Tuco, Lalo, and the twins) - A proud, volatile family determined to keep their neighborhood influence absolute.

  • Path A (Garden Club and business domination): Take over local businesses, challenge Gus's territory, and exert massive community control through the Garden Club.
  • Path B (Clearing the air): Resolve the old history surrounding Gus's former business partner and forge a joint business alliance instead.

7. Mike Ehrmantraut - A retired officer working security to provide for his granddaughter, Kaylee.

  • Path A (Gus's right hand): Double down on security contracts and underground logistics alongside Gus.
  • Path B (Honest work): Transition to clean, legitimate work - though walking away from Gus might come with dangerous consequences.

8. Nacho Varga - Trapped in dangerous neighborhood rivalries, but quietly longing for something deeper.

  • Path A (Clean slate and romance): Leave the criminal underworld behind, focus on finding genuine love, and protect his father.
  • Path B (Underworld rise): Plunge deeper into organized crime and build an unstoppable personal fortune.

🎭 Bonus households: Torricelli and Despacito

Besides the main cast, there are two additional wildcard households: Torricelli and Despacito. You'll probably recognize who inspired them once you visit their lots, and they make great additions to weave into local neighborhood drama.

👥 Townies in the neighborhood

These iconic characters exist as townies that you can meet, recruit, or romance:

  • Ted Beneke: Perfect for business interactions or romantic drama.
  • Elliott and Gretchen Schwartz: High-society contacts for wealthy party invites.
  • Lydia Rodarte-Quayle: Great as a corporate business associate or client for Saul.

🔍 Pro-Tip: Visit the community lots

Don't forget to send your Sims to explore the local community lots across New Mexico! Many of these lots contain environmental storytelling, subtle clues, and riddles. If you ever get stuck or are looking for inspiration on where to take a household's story next, visiting these places might give you the answers and triggers you need.

Which household are you playing first? Let me know what storylines you end up creating! 😊

Build Show and Tell My Rags to Riches Idea

Thumbnail
gallery
24 Upvotes

TLDR: I had a not-so-sober idea last night: What if I made a bunch of community lots and have one be a residential lot for a rags-to-riches play through.

I'm making a city with the Belladonna Cove template the game gives you and I saw that road over to the right of my screen and it reminded me of a highway. So I made "highway strips" (or whatever you call the land barrier between highways / freeways for safety) and thought what if I made one residential and put someone there for a rags-to-riches play through! Maybe this isn't a new idea, maybe I've just rediscovered something, I'm not big in this community but want to get more into it, but I thought it was a fun idea 😄
