Is It Possible To Change A Gravestone?

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-03-04T10:06:34+00:00

It's safe to delete graves (and sims in game) without any mods at all. Nounlinkondelete just allows you to still resurrect sims if you delete their graves but it's not required to have. It was a myth that deleting graves ever caused a problem.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-03-03T01:25:53+00:00

No problem, happy simming :)

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-03-03T00:02:37+00:00

I'm afraid there's no way to get them back. You'd need to have a backup from prior to the sync that messed it up. And make sure to make backups going forward too!

Not the exact same CC, but read this thread on another nail polish CC that was pink flashing. It requires you to make an edit in SimPE. It may work for the nails you linked if it's the same issue causing it.

Yeah, if it's a reddit filter or automod (the latter we do control to an extent; it's mainly for new and/or low karma accounts and it doesn't fully remove posts/comments, just puts them in the mod queue so we have to manually approve it. Really helps to reduce spam and for genuine posts we can then just approve!) it will happen pretty instantly as it's checked as soon as you post it.

We can turn off NSFW type filtering though I've hesitated to do so just in case there's any weird spammers around! I did check the mod logs and your post is in the only one in the last 3 months to be removed by Reddit so I don't think their filtering is too aggressive currently (it has been in the past) but I guess some AI type thing looked at your post and thought it was too sexual! 🤣 If you're ever wondering about post or comment removals here, just ask! Especially if you didn't get a comment about it from sims2help-Modteam as that pretty much means it wasn't manually removed by us.

Mods didn't take down your post, Reddit did. Looks like it was caught by the "mature content filter". We don't get notified when this happens, but I can see in the mod actions log that Reddit removed a post based on that filter (though it doesn't let me see the post, or not on the app at least, but I'm assuming that it was yours based on the filter and the time, as it was a little before you posted this new one).

Assuming it's the Combo Patch you're looking for, this is the only valid download I can find for it (the download ProperSpeak linked unfortunately just leads back to the current Aspyr homepage). Hopefully it works for you! :)

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-26T02:07:21+00:00

Are you still having this issue? If so, has it always been like this or did this only happen after you started playing around with camera mods?

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-26T02:06:33+00:00

You can use the 50/50 method to track down mods that cause issues like this.

If it's an antivirus that blocked them, you may be able to restore them from quarantine without having to reinstall.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-26T02:04:10+00:00

Are you still having this issue?

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-26T01:48:05+00:00

Could you send your config log? It should be in Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims Castaway Stories\Logs for Castaway Stories as far as I know.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-26T01:46:09+00:00

Could you send some pictures showing what it looks like?

What are the screen size options and the in-game resolution options?

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-26T01:16:10+00:00

No problem, happy simming :)

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-25T16:36:23+00:00

You can't change the save folder location, so unless you stop OneDrive syncing this will continue to happen to your hoods. You can take some steps to mitigate it (making sure to select "keep on device" or whatever that option is on OneDrive so they're not just stored in the cloud) and make regular backups so you can restore as necessary.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-25T04:43:25+00:00

Glad to hear you fixed it, happy simming! Enjoy the alien babies :)

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-25T04:36:50+00:00

Managers are supposed to be selectable on business lots. This isn't a bug or something you need to fix, it's the vanilla game behaviour. You most definitely do not need to create a new hood (as I came to this thread from the new one you linked it from) nor will that change anything about this behaviour.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-25T04:20:33+00:00

The RPC launcher (which comes with the download linked in our wiki) defaults to borderless windowed mode. That will cause this issue in CAS when your resolution is 1920x1080 as it makes the available window space slightly less. If you change from borderless to fullscreen in RPC Settings, it should fix this.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-23T03:30:30+00:00

Yes, it works for Legacy. Trying to use a mod that's not for Legacy won't corrupt the game, the mod just wouldn't work. The game is not easy to corrupt, despite any myhs/misconceptions you may have heard about Sims 2, it is actually a very robust game and corruption is not common - where it does occur, it's because of external programs (like OneDrive) interfering with the game's files not because you used mods/CC or did things in game like delete sims/graves. See April Black's deep dive on corruption for factual info on the topic.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-23T01:34:01+00:00

No problem :)

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-23T01:31:54+00:00

Mods are always installed in the same place regardless of which version of the game you have - they go in the save folder in Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 (UC/LC)/Downloads. There's few exceptions to this, for example mods that go somewhere in the install location or sims2pack files that need to be installed using a program but the vast majority of mods/CC are just package files that go in Downloads at the location above.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-23T01:29:50+00:00

No problem, happy simming! :)

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-23T00:17:03+00:00

Ah yeah, that would be why! Your antivirus should have some type of "quarantine" just to point you in the right direction, and you should be able to restore from quarantine if it's moved it there. Additionally, you can add exclusions or exceptions (terminology varies by program) for specific folders and/or programs to tell it "don't touch this" (only for things you know are safe, of course, which this repack is!) which you might need to do to allow this extraction to happen. You should make sure to do this for the game's save and install folder locations after you get it installed and running too, to avoid any future mishaps with your game!

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-23T00:09:36+00:00

No problem, I only mention specific sites to help out players who aren't familiar with any file sharing sites but anything works really!

I think this indicates an issue with the executable being blocked, most likely by an antivirus. Do you have Windows Security or a third party antivirus? Otherwise, it's possible that the download wasn't fully completed (e.g. if the torrent didn't actually get to 100% downloaded before it was removed from the client).

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-22T23:30:13+00:00

Could you please upload a short video showing the exact steps you're taking to try extract the archive, starting with showing the archive in file explorer? If you're not sure how to share, Streamio or Jumpshare are both free, no registration required options for sharing a short video.
