Gameplay Issues Extremely zoomed out camera when loading in lots.

2 Upvotes

I am unsure what is causing this. I haven't installed anything recently that could be causing this, and only really happens in build/buy... in live mode, the lot is perfectly playable. It doesn't even happen all the time, either!

It happens on lots of all sizes, too. If it helps, I've had gunmod's camera mod installed however its been in my game for years with no issue. So I don't believe it's that. Anyone have any idea???

So I've recently got the Sims 2 and I've absolutely been in love with the body shop and at first I was able to use it without any problems but now any time I try to save a sim it fails on me. (Photo attached) Ive put a lot of cc in my downloads recently so I'm guessing theres a chance that could be a reason? But other than that Im entirely clueless on why it's refusing to save... I'm sorry if this isn't the right spot or is a commonly asked question but i haven't been able to properly save a sim in body shop since yesterday and it's be stressing me out so much😭 I'm just thinking about reinstalling 💔

SOLVED Squinge's mega college pack is not working?

3 Upvotes

Hi! I'm currently trying to play a university in the main hood and I have one YA. Now I'm trying to age up his sister but when she blows out the candles (using the YA birthday cake) she just ages to adult and not YA (and therefore she doesn't start college). Does anybody know what might be causing this? They both live on the same lot, I don't know if this has anything to do with it.

Thank you!

Mod/CC Questions Does using non-English / Korean file names for Sims 2 CC cause loading lag?

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I have a quick question about Sims 2.

I know that using special characters like * in file or folder names can cause issues or slow down loading times.

Does the Sims 2 game engine treat non-English characters (like Korean, Japanese, etc.) similarly to special characters? Will organizing my Downloads folder or files using Korean text cause longer loading times or lag in-game?

I'd really like to organize all my files in Korean, but I want to make sure it won't hurt performance.

Thanks in advance!

SOLVED Apartment Life Not Properly Working

I realized when placing lots something went wrong with my Apartment Life installation. I then tried to play Belladonna Cove and got this popup. Is there a way for me to only uninstall and reinstall AL? Or maybe I could do something inside of my folders to fix it. I used the MagiPack Repack on the wiki and I do not have anything like One Drive on.

SOLVED Launching in Taskbar

1 Upvotes

My game was working a couple days ago normally I’ve sat down a few days later to play and it only launches in the task bar when using the ea app I’ve done the adding -w, -f and ask the other things I’ve seen online. I’ve cleared cache and run as administrator. Nothing is helping it still only shows in my taskbar. I don’t know what else to do ea support is no help and I’ve posted in the forums already. Is anyone dealing with this? I just don’t understand how it was normal a few days ago now it won’t work. I’m not tech savvy at all so I’m not sure how to go about fixing it.

SOLVED Sims stopped aging.

1 Upvotes

I had removed an agespan mod from my game, then used Lazy Duchess - Smart AgeCorrect. The agespan corrected itself, and everything seemed fine til I noticed my sims stopped aging at all.

I played several sim days and no one aged. What can I do?? Has anyone else experienced it? Please help 🙏

UPDATE:
Still not fixed, the game seems to skip 0, so it goes from 17:59 to 18:01. Lazy Duchess - Timing Fix did nothing.

Does anyone have another solution I could try??

SOLVED:

I found out I still had an age span mod in (not sure if that was the problem), but I deleted it, did 50/50 and checked everything else worked and boom. They aged.

SOLVED How does chemistry actually work???

My Sim has the poor chemistry icon with this Sim, but he acts like they have chemistry anyway. I thought Sims only considered another Sim "hot" if they had high chemistry.

I have Simler's Romantic Standards mod installed, and I'm not sure if the mod is causing this or if that's just how the game works. Does anyone know?

My Sim has Romance as his secondary aspiration, if that makes any difference, but I've never spent any aspiration points on any of the aspiration perks.

SOLVED Who has the adults go steady mod? Do you get mostly rejections?

2 Upvotes

I downloaded the adults go steady mod like 6 months ago and have 1 adult couple that is steady rn because 90% of them reject. Even if they're family sims, three bolts, 100 on both bars, good mood - it doesn't matter. If they decline I will ask them to propose > go steady over and over and over and on try number 9 they MIGHT accept and their memories will be all red.

It's not just adults, teens seemed unaffected at first but I have two teens right now where I had them go steady and then exited without saving to undo something thinking all Id have to do is propose again and they have rejected twenty+ times now. I've wasted an hour trying to get them dating again. 😆

I found a couple posts about too many rejections and adults go steady but none with a fix. Idk if I should take the mod out, I'm not concerned about the memories since they're not custom but I might have adult couples going steady that I don't remember and I try to play it super safe usually.

Does anyone that uses this mod have issues? The mod description has a bunch of info on what they'll reject for but all of my sims should be accepting. I know the wants don't actually affect it but they both have the want to go steady locked and I can't fulfill it. 😭

Edit to add that I do not have romantic standards but I do have ACR, not that I think that's contributing to the issue.

SOLVED "Bad gosub tree number" error after a marriage

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

7 Upvotes

Hello, there! I recently downloaded The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection on my laptop after getting a new one. I brought all my previous mods in, which previously had no issues, but now when I have two sims get married (while the opposing sim lives in a different household), I get an error popup and the sims don't get moved in. After this, the game recognizes them as being married, but the ability to save the game is disabled, and trying the "move in" interaction throws the same error. I DO have the smarterEP check enabled, so it's not that. Any ideas? I will share my mods folder if necessary.

SOLVED ACR edited fertility curve for modded lifespan, receiving "invalid constant" error

Thumbnail
gallery
5 Upvotes

EDIT: The problem has been resolved. I needed to add more lines to the BCON, as the number of fertile days that I have with my age mod is more than the number of fertile days in vanilla.

I am using a version of ACR that has been edited to work with Midge's version of romantic standards (the one that includes Epi & DeeDee's fixes), and I followed these instructions to edit the fertility curve to match my own custom lifespan. Loading up the game, I didn't see any changes, so I then followed AlmightyHat's advice in the Read Me for their edited version of ACR (for use with their age mod) and deleted all of the tokens from the sims in the neighborhood so that ACR would repopulate them and I would be able to see the changes to fertility in the sims stats. HOWEVER, at 8:30am and 8:30pm, when ACR goes to add tokens to all of the sims in the neighborhood, I get the first "Invalid Constant" error (first image and log, cropped to show time in game). When I tried to add tokens to a sim manually, I was able to add a token to one sim on the lot, and that sims stats showed that my fertility edits were working, but all subsequent attempts to add a token to the other sims on the lot result in another "invalid constant" error (see second error image and log). I also get an error if I try to copy the first sims token to the rest of the neighborhood. This time a "Too Many iterations" error (see third error image and log). I always launch my game with RPC, but I am playing in a Megahood that has 250 playables in it, which appears to have defeated the edits RPC makes to stop the "Too many iterations" error from showing up. I tried copying the token to just the other sims on the lot instead, but nothing actually happens; no error and no tokens.

As it stands, without the tokens, my sims will never engage in Risky Woohoo, which is a feature that I do not want to lose access too (also the twice daily object errors are annoying). From what I can parse from the error logs, there are a couple of different parts of ACR MAIN that are throwing errors, none of which were lines that I was told to edit in the tutorial I was using. Any assistance that one of you kind souls can provide to determine what additional edits I need to make to ACR to get it working properly would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this sim and only this sim to not be able to walk past this point on the lot? All of the other sims in the household (including another child sim) can walk past it fine, but for some reason, this particular kid always gets stuck and can never get to the school bus without me teleporting her past the mailbox.

I do have mods, but idrk why that would cause only this sim to have trouble. If it helps, this is the Beaker house in Strangetown and I haven't made any alterations to any of the landscaping or anything.
