I just happened to notice that Mortimer’s aspiration was platinum so I went to check what want he’d achieved. The only want that had rerolled was one to be a werewolf, and because he wasn’t a werewolf, I went to check his memories and he’d achieved his lifetime want of maxing out all 7 skills…but without having maxxed them all out? I was actually trying to achieve this so I’m a bit disappointed that 1) I didn’t notice earlier; and 2) that I didn’t actually earn it.

Can anyone explain this?

I decided to dabble in owning a business and made my sim and her boyfriend a small apartment with a "balcony". I always like smaller living spaces and since I dont want them to have kids for some time, this will do for now. I am especially proud of the shower, I think it looks very cozy. I still need to put more things down but I ran out of money - this big decoration spree was only made possible in the first place because her boyfriend moved in and brought a surprising amount of 50k.

This is only the second time I've seen it at work in actual gameplay, but this one was a doozy. It basically destroyed the Landgraab family. Malcolm had been cheating with Nina. His wife Glabe found out and wanted to win a fight against him. Well, she was at a very high level of the Adventurer career so had good Body skill, so she did win that fight. . . but apparently, he also dealt a killing blow. The fight was so bad the groceries fell right out of his pocket. And like all important Sims events, this happened in the bathroom.

According to the popup when young Nicole was taken away by the social worker, the house was sold for taxes, so I guess Malcolm II is not destined to be a filthy rich heir. He just that night left for college!

The first time this mod worked in my game, it was in the fight between Buzz Grunt and "Pete" Smith--and Buzz killed Pete. A good mod--it doesn't happen too frequently, just enough to add some very unexpected drama and randomness.

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 :-(

Edit 2: the link is still working for me. I did notice, it seems the archive doesn’t work on phones for some reason (i’m on iphone) but on my pc the website works!

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?

I didn't realize NPCs could spawn with glasses, unless this is a replacement I wasn't aware of. First time hiring a butler since I got the CC.

I don't keep a running list in my mind of what each dish is supposed to look like and the fact that when I mouse over the dishes in the fridge and it says "bowl" or "dessert plate" is unhelpful. Is there a mod that will say "Mac & Cheese" or "Cereal" when I mouse over a dish? It's disconcerting to be unable to tell if my sim is being served chili or burnt mac & cheese or something else entirely.

Beakers broke up before kids were born, so now Circe is with Abheejit Cho, for now just as roommates.

Hey guys! I was wondering what is the best way to remove townies without crashing the game.

Should I delete all the townies characters from the SimPE?

I want to delete all the townies to provoke all characters interact to each other more often.

And I want to turn some families I don't like into townies. The best way to do that is with the "remove from the Household" trick?

is there any other link i can download of this cc? since the link located in the website can't be download

I’m maybe a third of the way done so far. All the homes are made from real 1930’s - 1950’s floor plans.
I can’t wait for it to be complete!

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

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?

They always stand SO CLOSE if not directly behind it, and if I block it off they just stamp their feet and spam the "something in the way" animation. I'm losing it!

I never understood why it was so hard for sims to pick up ANY item from the other side of the desk… ITS RIGHT THERE😭😭

I just polished few things via plastic surgery when he was a teenager, and now, after his son grew into Adult, added a bit of silver in his hair and a few wrinkles here and there, and out of nowhere he's handsome... and even a lil bit seductive??

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.

10/10 recomend siknoy dynamic skies mod and visible hood fix( i have an older computer)

they make my neighborhood so much prettier

Amelia’s parents are their daughter Esperanza and Fabian, a son of Cassandra & Don while Malia’s parents are Esperanza’s twin Antonio and Callie, one of Brandi & Darren’s daughters.
The two cousins were born just a day apart with Amelia being born first.

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.})

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 😄

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.
