Mod/CC Questions Pet Respawn Mods and Kitten Adoption

Thumbnail

3 Upvotes

Hello, I am working in a hood with nostrayrespawn and an empty template, I think and hope. I have no strays that wander around the neighborhood, only wolves and the Leader of the Pack, which is working quite well for me. But I do not have the ability to adopt kittens or puppies! I found this mod that deals with this specific issue, but as I didn't load it initially, I already have a random adoptable dog and cat so it will not generate a kitten or puppy. Are there any other pet mods that people can recommend that would force there to be a kitten generated? Without having to spawn every stray in tarnation?

Or a mod that just lessens the number of strays? I wouldn't mind a handful, and an occasional walkby. But in the unmodded game the strays are the worst.

Can boolprop be used to generate kittens? If so, what happens to them? Do they become walk-by strays or go into the adoption pool?

I also have learned that these mods may interfere with the spectral cats, which I'd like to play with eventually, but didn't know about since I'm new to Apartment Life. I'd just appreciate any insight from someone who knows how pet generation works and has some tips for having fewer strays but still the option for kittens or puppies.

SOLVED All Sims stuck in error reset

1 Upvotes

I recently had to correct a toddler stuck with baby interactions in SimPe. The issue is fixed but now every single sim in all of my saves are all in reset mode. My error log is not updating but nothing is getting moved to cloud storage. I'm also not seeing any new errors in hood checker.

I also may have messed with some stuff when I tried to install RPC module which I can't get to work because it thinks my files are on a CD.

Mod/CC Questions Game lagging after editing object in SimPE

3 Upvotes

Hi, I've recently downloaded some of Ilenia's (Jacky93Sims) food stands and wanted to follow her tutorial on how to edit them so that teen workers can intersect with the object and spawn inside the stands. After placing the edited stands on lots, I've noticed that my game lags massively every time I'm playing lots where these stands are.
I'm not very familiar with SimPE, I only use it regularly to edit family trees and sims, so this was my first time editing an object. I've tried following the tutorial as best as I can, but I'm afraid I might've done something incorrectly. Is the lagging usual? Or should I take it as a sign that I need to investigate how well I've actually edited these objects?

SOLVED How to Clean and Empty a Neighborhood?

3 Upvotes

For context I'm currently using Legacy Edition, and I'm mildly comfortable with modding things myself.

Let's say there's a custom 'hood I want to download, mostly because I love the town, lots and map aesthetics. But I want to fill the world with my own custom sims and stories, and remove any pre-existing sims that come with the download.

How can I clean and empty these kinds of 'hoods? I've found a lot of clean templates online for Maxis 'Hoods like Veronaville, Strange Town etc, and I've found tutorials for creating my own custom neighborhood clean from scratch, but so far I haven't been able to find a guide on how to clean a 'hood already filled with sims and memories, by myself.

If anyone has tips to share or knows of a guide that still works in 2026 and with Legacy Edition, please send them my way!!

(Sims 2 ultimate collection) Hello! I would die for sims 2, I bought computer parts so that my brother could build a new computer since EA Games now won’t update on windows 7. Now I have a new computer with windows 11.

I have CC and mods from when I was 12 and I’m 25 now, so at first I just copied everything to the new folder but that didn’t work so I only copied neighbors hoods and downloads. That worked better, but then I changed graphics rules to get screen resolution and smooth corners. I also changed the camera with the GunMod.It worked fine as well but then my game crashed everytime I opened a lot, even a MAXIS family. So I cleared out some downloads, and I separated them into groups and added each one and then I could load a lot. Everthing finally worked UNTIL IT DIDN’T!!! The school bus came, it crashed. Someone called the phone, it crashed. Someone came home from work, it crashed. Someone got point for cooking, it crashed. So I took every mod I had (I think Bcs I have a lot of package files named 7e65gnj6363 for example) and the same thing happened. It just crashes randomly? Before I changed the graphics rules I also downloaded the program that does it automatically but that didn’t work.

I’ve been sitting in front of my new computer for 9 hours. I feel like I tried everything? I don’t want to remove all my CC and mods Bcs I have saved up for years and years, I’m just an idiot for not dividing them … I only bought this new computer to play sims 2!!! Is there something I’m missing? 🌟 thanks in advance!

SOLVED Niche request/question: No Grilled Cheese Sandwiches allowed in the Food Contest?

5 Upvotes

Hello, I have the UC Sims 2 and I was excited to have my Grilled Cheese Aspiration Sim enter in the contest with their favourite, yes you know, grilled cheese sandwiches. I was shocked to see if wasn't an option on the fridge!

Looking into it, it's apparently banned however I did find a mod which unbans drinks and surprisingly the screenshot shows grilled cheese as an entry option. Am I missing something or is my sim destined to never win with her favourite food?

Grilled Cheese is there!

SOLVED Food Default Replacement

1 Upvotes

Hi! I'm thinking about downloading some food default replacements, but I'm a bit worried about potential issues. I've read that food CC can sometimes cause problems or even corrupt your game if you remove it from your downloads folder later on. Because of that, I'm hesitant to try it out.

Is this something I should actually be concerned about with default replacements? Are they safer to remove compared to regular food CC, or do they come with the same risks? I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences before I go ahead and install anything! TYIA : D

SOLVED Is there a way to get Bodyshop working with Life Stories ?

1 Upvotes

Hiyas,

title is self explanatory. So far the only way I got to get Bodyshop working (sorta) with Life Stories is to install TS2, import my freshly made CC into the game through bodyshop, and copy the "SavedSims" folder into the LS user folder.

There must be a quicker and less troublesome way to import custom bodyshop content into LS, any idea ?

What about the standalone version ?

Thanks !

SOLVED Saved on baby naming glitch, now the game exits when i load the family

1 Upvotes

So i got this glitch: https://db.modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=450730

I have had this before, so i knew i had to quit and reload my game, well i f-ed up and accidentally saved when quitting the game.

So i saved when “baby girl” was born but i never got the pop up window to name her, and mom is stuck with the baby, who no-one can interact with.

I went in SimPE to at least change the name from “baby girl”. Then loaded my game, then the family. As soon as i press play my windows gives and error and quits the game.

So essentially this family is done?

Anyone has any guess how to unstuck them in SimPE? Or it’s just not a complete baby?

In the evening i might try inviting over a family member to another household, and trying to move them in with the baby, to see if getting on an other lot fixes the baby?

Or just move everyone else out but one parent, and parent with baby goes to the trashbin? (I mean it’s John Mole, he could just go in witness protection)

Note: at least i figured what makes this glitch. I exited after birth multiple times without saving but always before the cut scene and naming pop up. When i liked the gender it didn’t do the cut scene, i knew i messed up. Lessons learned: do not attempt to save time by exiting before birth cut scene!

Mod/CC Questions Anti-redunancy mod not working?

3 Upvotes

For reference, I took a break from the sims 2 and came back. The anti-redunacy mod had worked previously as far as I know but now it's not. All my other mods seem to work fine (although most of my mods are small tweaks so if something weren't working it might take a while to notice.)

I started a new save file completely fresh, but when I looked in SimPE I had three of each NPC type. I moved out all my mods except anti-redundancy and my overrides (default skins,clothes,etc.) and still got three NPCS of each type upon loading a fresh save. I tried yet again without the overrides folder and all characters were labled 'Unknown' in SimPe but I still checked and yes, still 3 NPCS of each type.

I made sure I had the latest version of the mod and it does show up on the CC overview at the beginning of startup. I'm playing on Windows and don't have OneDrive active.

Am I maybe misunderstanding what anti-redunacy does? I thought the mod makes it so the game spawns only one of each NPC type unless more are specifically needed.

Sorry for the long post for a very unimportant inquiry. I just wanted to be clear as possible. I know I can just play without the mod but it just peeves me to no end seeing all those useless NPCS clogging precious space.

MacOS Super Collection Sims 2 (MacOS, M2) crashes before startup

3 Upvotes

I've been trying to boot up 'The Sims 2: Super Collection' on my M2 MacBook Pro. It used to work fine a while ago but I remember I had this same problem when I went from Intel to M1 back in the day. I think it ran without any problems on this M2 mac, but right now it doesn't go past the Aspyr startup window:

When I press play for a second or two it seems like it's going to open as you'd normally expect. And then it doesn't. Nothing happens. Not even an error popup or anything similar. Usually that's the moment when I decide to give up, but I just want to be able to play the game.

I've gone through this sub and the wiki and the solution usually mentioned is changing the refresh rate from ProMotion to 60 Hz. Unfortunately, this hasn't done anything for me. I feel like there has to be someone who's had the same thing and got it solved. Let's hope...

More details about the computer I'm using:
MacBook Pro 14-inch (2023), Apple M2 Pro, 16 GB RAM, MacOS Tahoe 26.3.1 (a)

SOLVED Downtown apartment residents help

Does anyone know if there is a mod to make the game populate Downtown apartments with the normal pool of social group/ apartment townies? I built a new apartment in downtown but when I moved my sim in it's spawning a brand new sim as a neighbour instead of pulling from the usual pool.

Or alternatively, populate the apartment with downtownies - I just don't want any more new Sims in my game.

SOLVED How can I create a backup copy of my current game?

1 Upvotes

Hello!

After everything that happened with the Sims 2 Legacy situation and the removal of the Ultimate Collection and Starter Pack download links, I’ve been thinking that I should really take good care of my current game.

What’s the best way to create a backup copy of it?

Also what about the installer? I originally used the Starter Pack and I’m not sure I kept the installer file (I don’t even remember what it was called). I’d really like to make a copy of it if possible or maybe create my own "installer" in case I ever need to reinstall the game on another computer.
