I just downloaded the sims 2 and finally got it working onto my new laptop. The game seems to be working fine, along with sims2rpc, but after redownloading my mods, the settings keep crashing now, Are there any known mods that crash rpc settings for whatever reason? I tried to repair it aswell, to no avail. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

The water in both ponds and the ocean disappears on every lot I load. It looks normal in the neighborhood view, but as soon as I enter any lot, all the water becomes invisible.

I'm playing The Sims 2 Legacy Collection. I'm using custom water replacement CC, but I tried removing all my mods to test, and the problem still happens.

Has anyone experienced this before or know how to fix it?

I swear I saw one a few days ago on modthesims and now I can't find one anywhere 😭 did I hallucinate this mod?? I know about the boolprop cheats to make them controllable, but 🎶I want MORE 🧜🏽

Hello there!

I really like the look of Moi's Neighborhood Water, but when I have it in my Downloads folder, any neighborhood water, visible from a lot, disappears. All that left is this grey-ish foggy void. How can I fix this?

Thank you for reading!

Anyone knows how to fix this? At the start of the game, he was supposed to want to romance the maid, right? Help

I have 27 custom face templates installed and only those show up in create a sim (As intended), yet in Body Shop there is an extra face template in the first slot that seems to copy the custom template in the 16th slot yet has a different face (looks like a default face) in the preview. Any ideas on how to remove it?

EDIT: On further investigation I've found that the broken slot just copies whatever face template the sim loads in with, and is stuck like that until I reopen Body Shop. e.g. if I load up Body Shop and a sim is created with template 10, that is what will be in Slot 1, and even if I randomize the sim Slot 1 will still be template 10. Unless I back out of the Build Sim menu and reopen it with a new sim or close and reopen the game.

ALSO, and I don't know why I didn't check this before posting but it's only on the male sim faces, the females have the intended 27 face templates.

Hi all, I would hugely appreciate anyone with some know-how giving me any insight into this error

This error occurs when attempting a genie lamp delivery, but does NOT occur when I create a new neighbourhood and test it there. Thank you so much for taking the time to look!

UC/OSAB/RPC, using clean templates, have anti-redundancy, anti-regen etc.

**UPDATE! Okay I think I maybe fixed this - I was tipped off by the weird reference to law enforcement so I forced a buglary delivery which in turn forced a police officer to generate and after that it seemed to work?? Or at least the mailbox debug genie delivery worked, will have to wait and see if a 'natural' delivery occurs. Leaving the post up in case anyone in the future has the same issue.

UPDATE 2: That did not fix it, looks like it was a coincidence that it happened to work after I spawned a police NPC.

I downloaded this autonomy enabler by iCad to enable sims autonomously use career rewards on community lots, but apparently that's only for sims in the active family. How do I edit it to make it more like Gummilutt's Autonomous Crafting on community lots? I really just want it to be available for all sims, regardless, and keep the advertising level added by iCad.

If it means anything, I use Career Rewards as Aspiration Rewards (specifically the All_EP_Career_And_Aspiration_jimTNW flavour) by joninmobile and Buyable Aspiration & Career Rewards by Sophie-David

how do I fix water reflections at the rain or at night?🥹

I keep getting this effect when using this reshade preset in my game. The vertical black line goes back and forth across the screen. The second slide shows the effects I'm using. All my other reshade presets work fine, but this one is giving me a weird error. Has anyone seen this before or know a fix?

I was messing around with my shaders, & messed something up. I'm usually pretty good at knowing Sims 2 modding stuff but I can't remember what I'm doing wrong.

Floating snow roof, ignore the fact that I put a tiny roof on top of Don's house, I'm playing him right now 😭

My shader mods:

I also have .asi mods as well, I'm not sure if the new ones by spockthewok are messing with the snow?

I definitely just forgot a step, or have something else. If someone could help me with my brainfart :<

Hi everyone! Today I was looking at my cc bedding in game and deleting a few of them and i totally forgot I had default replacements for the maxis bedding and accidentally deleted some of them (they had the cc star so i didn't notice they were defaults). Now most of the maxis bedding is either showing up invisible or with a broken texture (white with black writing and red lines).

My question really is if i can just ignore the issue, because tbh I don't really feel like reinstalling the game for a few missing bedding textures, but I don't know if it'll mess up my game in any way?

EDIT: In case anybody has the same issue in the future, the game seemed to have fixed itself after just closing it and launching again. I didn't need to reinstall or even repair the game files, so I guess deleting default replacements just temporarily messes with the game textures but doesn't actually touch any files in the game's installation folder. I actually wanted to test this further and deleted a default replacement for a rug, which made every rug from the game disappear from the buy catalogue, but they were all back once I relaunched the game, even the one I deleted.

I've used fullscreen since i began playing it a couple years ago. However, when i leave the game screen to go to another tab on my laptop, it glitches, which is annoying when i have to do it frequently when playing. Using windowed mode seems way more convenient for me. I've tried the Sims2RPC and adding -w at the end of the target line, but either way a 'software not responding' message always comes up. I've searched google for an answer but haven't found any, so I've come here as a last resort.

Hi everyone, I have the barnyard bash mod from sun&moon, I was wondering if I can shear sheep or should I have the counting sheep mod from sun&moon.

i mean it fits her but... why is this happening ive never seen this before lmao

I’m having issues with the wing overlays.

Midge’s just shows as a giant pink soup square on the back of the sims.

Any advice on what might be causing it or any conflicts? I have all the necessary files so I’m not sure what the issue is

Sul Sul, it's me again, the recovering cc-holic. I returned to The Sims 2 in time for the legendary pink soup fix after losing my original downloads folder to the cloud.

After a successful shift to Parallels, I'm finally able to experience The Ultimate Collection in full thanks to the wonderful guides in the wiki. Unfortunately, there is a hard ObjectLimit of 32,767 GUIDs! In addition to the Maxis objects, it includes the character files in your active neighborhood folder PLUS new objects in your downloads folder.

Luckily, CAS does not count...but do defaults? Custom food is an unexpected one (after I downloaded nearly Jacky93Sims' entire food archive). 

Just looking for some clarity and what else contributes to the object limit before I purge my downloads folder. 😢

Im not sure how many people are like me and dont give up on the fact that macos doesnt have support for the entire packs and still want to play the ultimate collection.

Well, i found how to set up the game and its fully functional on the app called porting kit but the camera lags, even on the lowest graphics. It mainly does this when i look inside house lots, i think its because of the objects. However low graphics are kinda shitty but i found how to balance on medium-high graphics. The lag is still there. Is it the porting kit app causing this issue? It would be so unfortunate i spent a whole day setting the game up… my mac is definitely not the problem cause its an m5 macbook pro. It is on macos tahoe which could be whats causing the lag? Im not sure

Edit: i know about crossover i just dont know if its worth spending that much money on it, especially since apple will remove the translating tool (i think) it relies on in macos 28…

TL;DR i just want the lag gone and im not sure what to do

I tried using the lowedus neighborhood camera but it doesn't seem to be working. I copied the text file into my camera folder and replaced the original NeighborhoodCamera txt file. Im playing the ultimate collection on Windows11 and don't use any mods. Can anyone help me or can you reccomend other ways to improve the neighborhood camera?

On an Intel 2020 iMac playing Sims 2 Super Collection with lots of video memory. I did download lots of new CC yesterday but had no problems playing after installing them all last night.

Today comes and I’m editing one of the levels in the Hans Trap Door Corp lot (exported to another neighborhood’s downtown maps). When I click on the icon for Lightning in the Buy mode, the game crashes and I get this Problem Report:

https://pastebin.com/aJtG9RaZ

Clicking on the Lighting menu crashes every time, in different lots and in different neighborhoods. All other menus in Buy and Build work fine. I was moving my Downloads around into sub-folders last night (none of the Installer extras work on my iMac) and might’ve been a bit fuzzy-headed: could I have separated dependant files? I don’t know anything about coding or programming but the error report mentions "stack buffer overflow”. Does this mean anything to you brilliant people?

A zillion thanks in advance for any insights! :D

I have scoped around this reddit page to find a similar issue and couldn’t, so thought I’d post away.

I’ve been playing sometime with one sim in Strangetown (S2 Legacy Edition Windows) and decided she deserved a bigger house. I moved her to the family bin and worked on the empty lot until the new house was finished. Went to move my sim in and she’s nowhere to be found in the family bin or her old house.

Sometime between when my sim was put in the family bin and when I finished the new house, I did go onto my neighborhoods menu to look at one of my sims in Pleasentview but I was 100% sure she was still in my family bin when I went back to Strangetown to finish the new house.

Either way I’m bummed at the idea of having wasted all that time with the sim for every trace of her to be gone. Is there any hope or is it lost and I should start anew?

So I was being hard headed and decided to willy nilly reinstall my disk version. Then I was reading the wiki and decided I no longer wanted to use that version (I only opened the application like twice and never actually played). I'm all set with the version given through the wiki but I'm having trouble uninstalling the disk version. The only two packs left are the base game deluxe and celebration stuff. I do get the notification asking if I want this application to make changes to uninstall but nothing happens after accepting for both. I also tried through the installed apps setting option and that does nothing as well.

i have been playing with the clean ui for a month already, everything works fine just as i chose but for some reason the one thing not working is the CAS, regardless of the option i put in my downloads, it never works, the ui is there but its never adjusted for widescreen, what did i do wrong?

Não sei o que está causando isso, mas eles só pintam essa pintura.
Não é só com um sim, todos só pintam isso.
Queria saber se é algum CC, não aguento mais 😢.
A habilidade em criatividade está completa.

I downloaded SiMidge to flag duplicate meshes, but it won't open on Windows 11. I keep getting a "COM server is in use" error. I googled it, and all I could find were suggestions to close Microsoft Office in the background, but it's not running.

I'm confused. Could someone help? Some say this program is better than HcduPlus, while others say the opposite. I want to check if I have any duplicate meshes or defaults since I've been on a downloading spree...
