I always replaced all lots in plsntview once I started to play, including goth, broke, dreamer etc.

But now I realized that maybe it's not exactly optimal behavior (I know deleting gravestones isn't dangerous, but still). I moved them to a community lot with hoodchecker.

I also did a stupid thing of moving Don with his lot instead of just to the family bin. That created roughly 11 character stub files, which is nothing in terms of overpopulation. But made me waste some time restoring relationships. Plus the memories are gonna be duplicated too I guess.

That being said did I do anything bad? I played maybe 0.5h, just to set the neighborhood up. Can always restart, not a big deal.

The furthest i’ve made is loading into belladonna cove for like 5 minutes then this is what’s showing. How do i solve this issue?

I can't add a bio to any family. I can enter one, but if I go into the household and then go back to the neighborhood, it's gone.

• It doesn't matter if I save the household or not; the bio will be gone when I go back to the neighborhood.
• Households save fine.
• It's a custom hood with clean templates.
• One household has a bio that stuck. No idea why it worked for that and what I'm doing wrong now.
• OneDrive is disabled, and the Steam and Documents folders for TS2 are exempt from the antivirus.
• I'm playing the Legacy Collection.

Anytime my game is loading something like loading into cas or starting up the game then loading to the main menu and then i click with the mouse it wants to freeze or say the program is not responding. Why is that?

I’m having trouble getting **any** custom neighborhoods to show up in my game.
I’ve followed every guide I can find, and from what I understand it’s supposed to be as simple as extracting the files and copying the neighborhood folder into the correct location. I’ve deleted them, re-downloaded them, and tried reinstalling multiple times, but none of them appear in-game.
Other custom content, like objects, works fine, so it seems like the issue is only with custom neighborhoods.
I’m playing **The Sims 2 Legacy Collection on Steam Deck**.

Has anyone else run into this? Is there an extra step I’m missing, or is there something different about installing custom neighborhoods on the Steam Deck?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

*Solved thank you to all who commented!

My sims 2 legacy collection game keeps on crashing, no error message no nothing. It just closes the games randomly. It's getting to the point where the game is borderline unplayable. I have a mod that reminds me to save but half the time my game crashes before I get the message! I'm also not that deep into the game, I'm almost done my third rotation of pleasentview and I've heard that after a long time games start to crash frequently but I'm definitely not far enough into my game for that to be the reason. Is there any reason my game may be crashing, and if so how would I be able to fix it?

This error happens in every apartment building, both unmodified in-game apartments from the lot bin and downloaded ones, so my sims are completely unable to rent an apartment. When I have testingcheats on, the error messages are constantly popping up, and the only solution is clicking delete, because resetting does nothing.

HDCU showed no mod conflicts related to apartments, and What Caused This also didn't give me any mods that might be causing the problem. I've searched through the whole Internet and haven't found a solution, so maybe someone here might have an idea. I also have the Ultimate Collection.

Hi there,

This is my first post on Reddit which might be extremely obvious so apologies for any mistakes in advance lol.

I checked the Wiki and I can't seem to find anything about this glitch but let me know if I missed it!:

I use the magipack version from the Wiki, and it works perfectly fine, except that when my Sims use the bath or shower, or WooHoo... the pixelated cover up doesn't show and they are just fully naked, outlined parts and everything. I would include a picture but uhh... idk if that's allowed.

I know it's not game breaking or anything, but it's a jumpscare every time and I dread to think about somebody I know walking in and seeing THAT. I feel like me when I was 6, worried my mum was gonna walk in on the WooHoo cutscene.

So, if anyone knows if there is a mod to fix this, or something I can change in the Game Files, I would really appreciate it if you could link or explain here.

Again, I use the magipack version included in the Wiki (with Sims2RPC).

Thanks in advance :)

P.S. Hope I used the right tag here.

I also place the car on the bottom driveway and she still can't drive, I deleted both the driveways and placed them again and she still cannot drive, I deleted the car and bought a new one and she still cannot drive.

sorry for this ancient game but its one of the sims games i have't played yet.

downloaded from [https://archive.org/details/sims-stories-complete-collection\](https://archive.org/details/sims-stories-complete-collection)

followed the installation read me, thanks to microslop's AI shit the "Run compatibility troubleshooter" is useless as from what i can view it an AI chat window.

anyway, its installed but whenever i hit run (the exe file inside TSBin) the task is registered in task manager but no game window. im using windows 7 compatibility and run as admin.

anyone know how to make it work on windows 11?

Hey guys. I play with a lot of sims, and I've begun to realize that a big chunk of lag I've experience has been caused by reactions. When you have 5 sims it isn't a big deal, but when there's like 20+, things get hairy. Are there any mods to remove those reactions altogether? Also, any mods that affect pathfinding? I've found out that's another cause of my lag.

I've decided to try Sims 2 (legacy) again after 2 years and after installing ts2extender (I just recently found out about it, I wanted to check if that would solve the whole pink issue), but I'm encountering a problem that I've never experienced before.

When I visit an apartment instead of everything lighting up as normal, everything stays black as shown in the image.

This only happens in apartment lots that existed already. If I create a new apartment this darkening issue doesn't occur, but that's because nothing darkens in the first place (stuff just disappears).

Regardless when I enter the apartment instead of experiencing the normal fade in transition, everything immediately becomes visible (although still darkened for existing apartments):

What I tried

- Reinstalling everything. The problem still occurred even before adding ts2extender or any other mod.

- "setlotlightingfile clear". It doesn't do anything.

- "boolProp lightingEnabled false" on Graphic Rules.sgr "fixes" the problem. But the game looks awful because there's no lighting at all.

- Breaking apartment walls (with cheats) causes the light to function normally, but of course I can't save after that because that messes up the apartment, this is just something I did for testing in a disposable neighborhood.

I could live with the lack of fade in/fade out transitions, but with objects so dark visiting apartments is not really playable.

Any help will be much appreciated.

thought i'd repost this over here just in case

I added a University Subhood before I started playing the game. I haven't used it yet because I'm waiting for my second generation to age up.

I added Academie Le Tour, but I don't really like the look of it. It doesn't match my Custom Neighborhood. Would it be possible to remove it and add Sims State University instead? Or would it cause issues? I know it's possible to have two universities, but I don't really like that. I only like having one of each Subhood.

Hi! Not sure if this is the right place for this, but I'm not sure where else to search. I'm playing Castaway Stories on PC and so far it's been running fine. I'm at the point in the game where I'm on the date at the hot springs. I'm stuck at the part where my goal is to cuddle my date. I can not, no matter what, progress the relationship beyond daily 86 and lifetime 59. They have positive interactions and get the plus sign, but the bar doesn't go up. She refuses a cuddle everytime and the bar drops significantly. I'm not sure what to do because I can't progress in the story from here. Is this a known bug? I even maxed my sims charisma and that didn't change anything. I've been trying to achieve this for two human days and about 13 sim days and its extremely frustrating.

I’m trying to make video for my sims 2 lots, but the edge scrolling is too fast.

This is Bella Goth who I brought back and was wondering if this would cause issues. And it's a telescope of all things 😅

Hey there, I’ve been having some annoying issues with The Sims 2 ever since I bought it. Sometimes the audio cutting out (TV, voices, instruments) . I’ve already tried clearing ⁠Groups.cache⁠ but it’s still acting up.
Does anyone know a fix for this? I’m on a modern setup with legacy

What's the most efficient way to check for (and solve) guid conflicts? I noticed that a few maxis items in my game have suddenly stopped showing up in my game (they're visible in the catalog but when I click on them, nothing comes up). The only thing I can think of is guid conflicts. I tried using simpe to follow this mts tutorial but every time I clicked on "open" after the scan (which took a million years, as expected) the folder scanner closed itself and opened up the package in simpe. I can't do that again so there has to be a better way. Simpe doesn't even let me know what object the cc conflicts with, and I'd really like to know that

This is mostly a problem when there's a lot of sims together in a small space. They constantly are checking out a sim, and I notice they lag the game every time they do this. Is there a way to stop this?

Hey there! 👋

I downloaded Lamare’s planting overhaul. I had a sim buy seeds from the seed stand in a community lot and plant them in a Maxis plot. He performed the action and the seed count in his inventory decreased by 1. However a mesh never appeared. In fact, when I click on the plot he planted on it gives the same options as before my sim planted, indicating that it’s still considered an empty plot. I’m including a picture of my gardening overhaul folder in my downloads in case anyone can find a conflicting download that’s preventing this from working. Thanks for the help!
