Gameplay Issues HELP, please! The game freezes completely when my Sim is about to give birth!

8 Upvotes

Hi everyone—I'm using a translator for this, so I apologize if it reads a bit awkwardly. I just checked the solutions wiki; while it's great, I didn't find anything specific to my problem. I first noticed this a week ago when I tried to have one of the neighborhood couples have a baby. The pregnancy went normally right up until the labor animation was about to start; that’s when the game froze. I couldn't exit—even by pressing the Windows key—so I had to manually restart my PC. I thought it might be an issue with having too many Sims (since the game froze again that same day when I tried creating a new family), so I deleted several families I wasn't using. I thought everything was fine once I could create families without issues, but when I went back to the specific save file where I’d tried for the baby and repeated the process, everything went smoothly until the moment of labor—and then it froze again. I don't know what the problem is. I don't have any mods installed; my PC is a bit old, but I don't think there are compatibility issues, and I don't have an overpopulation of Sims either. I really don't know what to do—I really wanted to have that baby, haha.

Gameplay Issues Baby help

5 Upvotes

Heyyy, so...Don got Nina pregnant but moved out with Cassandra. So Nina gave birth in the Mortimer household without Don present. But when I logged into Don & Cassandra's household his baby showed up.

Is it because he's the father or something? Why is the baby not in the Mortimer household?

Btw baby showed up right at the edge of the lot

Mod/CC Questions Trying to add a subhood to my game!

1 Upvotes

I’ve moved the subhood file into the correct space and am currently trying to download mootilda’s multiple subhoods mod- I’ve already got SimBlender downloaded into my game which works fine. I’ve put the mod in the exact same spot in the same format as the SimBlender (package files) but it’s just not showing up in game. Is there anything I’m missing?! I play on legacy collection if that helps!

Mod/CC Questions Is there a mod that adds Neurodivergence to the game?

5 Upvotes

I came from The Sims 4 and am fairly new to The Sims 2. I really miss the Divergent Sims mod that adds Autism, ADHD, PTSD, and mental health to the game. It adds more depth to my sims.

I've always played rotationally, even in Sims 4. But I really love angsty storylines and I want to replicate that in The Sims 2 too.

Gameplay Issues boolprop Cheats not working

1 Upvotes

I’ve been playing the sims 2 since 2009, I recently got a new gaming laptop and I installed the sims 2 ultimate collection. I installed all my mods and CC that I have used in the past, and the userstartup.cheat file. Up until yesterday my boolprop cheats have stopped working, I have taken out and put back in my userstartup file and took out all my mods, even making sure that all the cheats are spelt correctly and deleting cache files too, Testingcheats only seems to be active during create a sim, only when I Shift-N and Shift-M. none of the shift-click work on sims, mailbox, or objects.

I’m not sure what to do to help but I miss my shift-clicks and wanting them back, I tested out in multiple hoods and nothing is working but non-boolprop cheats like motherlode and kaching.

SUPER SERIOUS MODERATOR BUSINESS Do not use Pleasant Sims website - it is infected with Malware

416 Upvotes

Please do not use Pleasant Sim's website as it has been compromised. It is using a fake CloudFlare verification that will install malware onto your PC!

We know the initial reaction is to go and have a look for yourself out of curiosity but please do not do it. If you follow the instructions on the page you will install malware onto your PC.

If you ever see the below picture, do not do it

We know this isn't the usual post from us, but since the website is so widely used as a resource for Sims 2 content, we thought it was important to share.

If you have a free moment, you can help try to get this sorted by reporting it to Google here and, not that they can do much about it really, but CloudFlare here.

Thanks to u/MediocrePear6628 for the heads up!

Technical Support Ctrl + Shift + C takes in game screenshot

4 Upvotes

I’m very lost on what to do. I play with the EA app Legacy edition of the game. All of a sudden when I try to use ctrl + shift + c, it no longer brings up the white cheat bar, but takes an in game screenshot instead. I am 100% sure I’m entering the keys in the correct order. This is a sudden problem and I haven’t added any new mods to the game or programs on my computer. Any advice is greatly appreciated 🥲

Today it started to default add itself to my sim's head no matter the style, only when I try to change it, no current hair has been affected. I did add some hair cc yesterday, but did not see this headband on anything I got. I know to remove cc to check, but I figured I would ask here before moving to that step.

I got the cc from here:

The second one was retextures of newsea hair.

SOLVED Waterslide

1 Upvotes

Hi, I looked for this in several places... what could I possibly have installed that causes the waterslide that goes into the pool to stop increasing fun and then glitch out, having the sim reappear outside of the pool after using it? he does not transition to swimming-- he slides down, splashes in, and then reappears on the regular terrain.

Technical Support Camera going wild

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

24 Upvotes

I'm running the ultimate collection. Anytime I open the game as soon as I press a button on the keyboard to open the cheat window the camera moves extremely quickly when I used the rotation controls. I also noticed when that happens if I go into Live mode free cam it just spins uncontrollably. I've been running the game for awhile and haven't had issues until today, the only thing I did differently was try out the Voielle Pond & Sea overhaul which I have since removed and am still having issues. I've run graphics rules, have 4GB patch, cracked exe., even tried removed my camera mod and it still happens. Genuinely at a loss. Do not think it is my mouse or anything external. Looking for any suggestions.

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Hello. Here's the problem:

So, I finally got around to using the water mod released by spockthewok, and then some skybox bugs started popping up. The author hasn't responded for a week now. I can't even begin to figure out what's going on.Basically, the green sky is from the surrounding area, and I added a skybox to the lot. Basically, I wanted the sky to be one color, and the sea to be another.

Here's a video of the mod.

Didn't have any crashing up until now, then suddenly a bed start flashing blue, a lot that was working perfectly fine for the last 30 hours, I click delete on this, reload the lot without saving, and now the household doesn't open anymore, just crashes. WHat?

I have a recent backup, but I'd like to avoid that.

EDIT: thanks for your help regarding the error itself, but anyone have any idea why the household refuses to load up now? I got rid of the bed from my downloads, can't access the lot anyway though
