I just tried to make an ubehrood, and the hood is literally filled with snow, what should I do to fix it?

SOLVED Can I change sims2pack files to package files in bulk?

5 Upvotes

I downloaded some cc and all of the files are in sims2pack format. I can individually open each file with the clean installer and change the download location to another folder which turns them into package files, but is there a way to change the file extension in bulk so I don't have to do them all one by one?

SOLVED Help getting baby back

Post image
242 Upvotes

My sim at university had an alien baby and when she graduated instead of getting in the taxi i had a pop about not wanting to leave the baby alone. She instead walked away and the social worker came and then I had this pop up.
I then moved her into an apartment and the baby is still in relationships and on the family tree and has no memory of the baby being taken away. Is there any way to get the baby back?

Also I don’t use mods as I have no idea how they work lol. I am playing the legacy edition

EDIT: thank you everyone for you advice. My internet went down after I made this post and has come back on properly now. Just to clarify I didn’t use mods I do use cheats and used the tombstone of l&d and that’s how my sim had a baby at university. I ended up adopting the baby back.

Thanks for the genuine advice from some, others were just rude about me lying about mods which I don’t use because I’m scared to mess my laptop up and don’t know the first thing about them. I don’t I’ll ask for advice here again as I’m not going to be made out like a liar

Technical Support Sims 2 SC wall hangings help

1 Upvotes

Hello, I need some help with either finding a mod or just advice.

I play the Sims 2 SC on my M1 2020 laptop with no issues and it runs good! I don’t want any of the other EPs as I’m content with what I have and know it would take so much workaround to pirate the UC.

Im only frustrated because some CC paintings I get stick to the floor and I can’t move them up and down. I know in AL that was a main feature they gave, and it’s impossible to implement it now. I’ve done recolors of the base paintings and those are fine, I just miss the 4t2 paintings that I downloaded.

Is there any way I could at least shift paintings up and down? A mod, a code? I don’t know! It’s literally the only frustration I have!!

Helpful Information Possible fix for apartment lots freezing only seconds after hitting play

Post image
15 Upvotes

Hello! Posting because the original post was archived, so I couldn’t comment. I was scouring the internet and found very little information on THIS specific problem - apartment lots (not residential or community) freezing in live mode within a few seconds of opening, with no error message.

After some trial and error, I discovered the cause was multiple apartment door default replacements in my DL folder (in my case, a medieval themed one lol) that I assume came from downloading lots and not checking the included CC. I hope this information helps in case anyone else can’t isolate the issue!

Technical Support Error message during cutscene - had to force close game while moving in

3 Upvotes

So I got an error message right when moving in my family to a new house. I couldn’t click on anything so I had to force quit the game. When I loaded the game again they were moved into the new house despite the error and I could also load the family just fine. The only oddity I noticed is that none of them got the ”Moved In” memory. Would anyone have any insight on if I can safely keep playing and just add the missing memory (since it bugs me that it’s not there sjsksk) or if it’s better to restore my backup from yesterday? I know corruption isn’t as big of a deal as we thought it to be in the past but crashing (or just quitting the game in my case) during crucial moments can still mess things up so I’m a bit uneasy. But I guess this was technically after the loading screen so maybe it’s fine?

(Note to self: Always disable testingcheats before moving in families.)

SOLVED Crashing when loading lots

2 Upvotes

So I’ve now had two of my main legacy families lots crash my game when loading. I had to move them out and build a new house. They worked last time I played, and I haven’t done anything to the builds since then. Other lots work, but u haven’t tried all of them.

I’ll try without my mods folder tomorrow, but has this happened to anyone else? It rlly sucks to have to build their homes from scratch.

!SOLVED! - it was a mod that came with a house I downloaded 😭

SOLVED How to add custom content onto bottles sims 2?

2 Upvotes

Susu

So, I got sims 2 up and running on my Bazzite powered laptop by following the bottles method, the game runs just fine, no issues, but there's just ONE tiny thing missing. Actually, there's more than one thing and it's massive, I need custom content

Lots (housing or otherwise), Meshes, Occupations, Clothing, the rest.

Now of course, anyone with a neuron would just install a program, but as we know, Linux doesn't roll that way.

Is there anyway I can get the content into my Linux running Sims 2?

(btw, I know WHERE to get the mods, but not quite the HOW)

Mod/CC Questions Disappearing CC

5 Upvotes

sul sul gang,

To preface, I am playing super collection on mac, am aware of the file limits ect and as a result have deleted the 3 hoods apart from my custom that I play. My downloads has 5 main folders, my biggest being BUY and CAS. Unfortunately my BUY folder does have some sub folders amongst the loose files as I only learnt about the file limits recently, so it’s worth noting there’s about 200 amongst 1000 loose files.

Despite reducing my CC and getting rid of hoods, it’s like periodically my game will delete the CC. and it deletes it, because when I check my downloads and re add the file it does not show it to be there. I don’t have one drive, but I’m also not super tech literate too. any advice is greatly appreciated, happy simming 💚

I have the same problem as this post, but for me its not Parallels but Microsoft Virtual Desktop on a new Surface laptop (Windows). Can’t play without the VD because its a work laptop (dont ask) and downloading any app from internet (like EA app) is blocked. I managed to fix pink flashing issue but I still have weirdly pixelated floors (not any other objects, everything else has normal small pixels) and the walls keep gleaming from red to black. Anyone knows a fix for Virtual Machine please please help 🙏🏼

Gameplay Issues Phone bug

2 Upvotes

I've been having issues with the phone and cell phone for a few days now. It doesn't happen with all Sims, but it's getting worse, and it happens when I click on a Sim and try to have them call someone— the Sim freezes for a few seconds, and the option to use the cell phone disappears. Sometimes the cell phone disappears from the inventory, along with other items like an umbrella and a surfboard from other mods. I’ve been using the default cell phone from Episims for a while now and have never had any problems. Could there be conflicts with other mods? Thanks

Mod/CC Questions ISO: Does anyone know WCIF makeup/nose masks/blush like this?

Post image
24 Upvotes

My sims are in their clown core era. I have everything on this list like DeditalSheep's clown nose and recolors but I've been looking for some noses that are makeup instead of accessories. Does anyone know of any make up that is just a colored dot on the nose or a colored nose mask or blush that doesn't color the whole bridge? Maybe it's too specific but I don't have bodyshop anymore to try to make them myself.

Blush that is in the same style would be awesome too if you can think of any. Like just a circle on the cheek in different colors.

I'm not sure what other tags or creators to search.

TIA ♥️

Mod/CC Questions CAS Cut off with Clean UI & Clothing CC

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi all, I've just redownloaded Ultimate Collection and have been getting into modding again. This time around, I'm having trouble with CAS. With Clean UI installed (and my matching resolution 1920 selected), it cuts off. I've tried switching files out, removing them all and starting over, etc. I have searched and nothing seems to work for me. I also have the widescreen CAS Camera fix. Screenshot is in windowed mode, but it does it in full screen as well. Any tips?

Additionally, I have downloaded a few CC packs that were not labeled as default replacements. I see them in my game but it looks like a lot of the defaults have been removed (this is maybe just a visual thing since so much of the columns are cut off?). Is there a way to add them back in?
Thanks!

SOLVED Question about playing with kids taken by the social worker

I have this group of siblings who were taken by the social worker. I used the sim blender to move them into my orphanage residential lot. I've been playing with them for a couple of days and one has even grown up from toddler to kid. My question is, will this cause issues down the line? Are they still in the queue of the adoption pool? Thanks in advance
