So you’ve decided to play The Sims 2: The Big guide to TS4′s grandma

The Sims 2 for PC is an incredible game. It continues to entertain and delight people all over the globe over 17 years after the initial release. Personally it has been a huge part of my life.

It is, however, objectively ancient and thus a pain in the arse to set up and install in 2021 (or whenever you’re reading this). There are tonnes of resources out there to make the game run and look better but they are scattered across every corner of the internet. Finding and utilising these resources can be a nightmare for any new player.

I have 17 years of experience with getting this damn game to work and I thought that some of that knowledge could be helpful for newbies. So I’ve cobbled together this ‘ultimate guide’ which should hopefully help to setup a more stable and enjoyable experience from the beginning.

THE SIMS 2 TRACKER FOR NOTION V.1.2

V.1.2 UPDATE (09/06/2023): FIXES, SMALL CHANGES, NEW VIEWS FOR THE PERSONAL DEFAULTS TRACKER AND MORE! SEE BELOW!

GET THE TEMPLATE HERE

V.1.2 UPDATE (09/06/2023):

#Fixed some pages where I forgot to remove my stuff to test things.

#I changed the property "Do I have a default?" from checkbox to "Status". Now it looks like this:

Why did I do it? Because I noticed that sometimes I wasn't sure about the defaults I downloaded, so I wanted to have… more options to mark things. One check wasn't enough for me.

#I've added four new views, taking advantage of the new property, to help you to better group the defaults you have and don't have. See the screens here.

#I have added other list compilation for cc and mods which may come in handy.

#I added the "Camera Mod" section in the "Graphics" section.

V.1.1 UPDATE (09/04/2023): PERSONAL DEFAULTS REPLACEMENT TRACKER ADDED!

Small clarifications:

# I also added some optional proprierties to fill in in case you use some mods. I made sure they are hidden because not everybody use those mods. So to see them click on “more proprierties”.

These options will only remain visible if you fill their box.

These are:

1. Height (If you use Lazy Duchess’s Height Mod here)

2. TS3 Traits (If you use the Trait System here)

3. The favorite color and the disliked color (if you use the color mod here)

Also, In ”Life States” I took the liberty of also adding midgethetree’s custom occults, but if you don't use them you can delete them.

# Some properties are hidden because not all sims have info for those properties. So to see them click on “more proprierties”. These options will only remain visible if you fill their box.

These are:

1. Death Cause (Don’t all sims are dead)

2. Business (OFB Business, it can be a shop a bakery etch)

3. Role in Business

4. All school/university-related properties, if your sim doesn't attend it.

# Some properties are hidden and cannot be made visible even if you fill their boxes. These are for the template filters, so please don't touch them. This property is literally called "Filters”.

My tracker has many more proprieties than a classic tracker and I filled it with ready options so you don't have to write everything by hand yourself (that's why it took me a long time)

ALL the properties have ready options, you just have to choose without the trouble of writing anything (unless you want to insert custom options yourself)

The tracker has also a lot of different views and I'll let you discover them yourself!

I didn't want to add extra options for gender identities and sexual orientations because I don't want to forget anyone, so you can add whatever you want!

And as a last thing to say I can say that for the "currently played family" view, I copied the idea from this template from @skittlessims-deactivated2023082 / @skittlesplays

AL Gear City window made closeable

Another day, another post! Got a backlog of things to post so apologies for the slight barrage this week :) I love the AL Gear City window! It's my favorite window type for apartments, but there's always the question of, do I go with the open one, or the closed one? I love the idea of my Sims getting a fresh breeze, but as someone who lives in Sweden, you definitely don't want a window wide open when there's a thick carpet of snow on the ground. And in apartments, you can't switch it out even if you have the patience to do that every winter. It's a dilemma! My good friend gayars once made a teddybear that changes clothes as the Sims play with it, and from her I learned how to change the appearance of objects through BHAVs, which lead to this creation :) It adds a pie menu interaction to the AL window that lets you switch mesh between open and closed, so that you have a way to make the window open or closed anytime you like without needing to actually replace the window.

Mod is a global add-on to the windows. Replaces TTAB, TTAs, Object - Model Names and adds two BHAVs. Would conflict with other mods that edit the same resources, but I think it unlikely. Four files total, for open/closed and the diagonal versions of the tow. Translated to english, swedish and spanish.

Fwaysims has two wonderful add-on sets to the Gear City windows, which are posted on MTS (Set One and Set Two). I imagine most people who like this window will have grabbed the add-on, so thanks to fway's generous policy I went ahead and gave the same treatment to them :)

Natasha’s life goal: Eat 200 grilled cheese sandwiches. She’s trying as hard as she can, but even she doubts she’ll ever reach that many grilled cheese sandwiches before the hourglass of life runs out of sand.

Blueberry’s one true hobby is music and dance, but she’s going to have to practice wayyy more if she’s interested in not burning passerby’s ears off.

First post in the new year! I hope that this year will be much better than the previous one for us all… so I started with sims and this stereo :) Happy simming :)

At least Ube and Blueberry aged up! They are so cute as children.
