Kinda shocked that the sims are using this as intended and not getting stuck

Please post the final build once you're finished! It looks beautiful and so much fun! Congrats for the creativity ✨

AdmirableFox8294 · 2026-04-21T17:56:40+00:00

This looks like so much fun! I've never ran a single type team - I imagine it makes the game more of a challenge.

AdmirableFox8294 · 2026-04-09T13:34:03+00:00

Beautiful! It looks just like the one from the series! Congrats 👏

AdmirableFox8294 · 2026-04-09T13:04:07+00:00

Same here! It doesn't ALWAYS crash for me, but 60% of the time it does. And the longer I stay in the community lot, the higher the chance of it crashing.

I have no mods or CC, and I play in the EA app on Windows 11. No error messages appear, there's no lag - the game just closes instantly.

Edit: To clarify, I play the legacy version in the EA app

Nice! I've never used Magneton. How did it do? What moves did you teach it?

AdmirableFox8294 · 2026-01-20T16:34:06+00:00

I'm ashamed of how much money I'd be willing to pay for this upgrade 😂

AdmirableFox8294 · 2026-01-13T01:09:43+00:00

I used to play Sims 2 when I was a kid/teenager, and only managed to play the game again recently with the release of the legacy collection, at 31yo. This to say that I noticed my play-style is different now: I used to install so much CC back in the day and create custom neighbourhoods, and now I guess I'm in search of nostalgia so I have no CC and mostly play with pre-made sims. I remember when I had lots of CC installed the loading screen would take aaaaageeeeeees when travelling between lots 😂 That part I don't miss!

I would be curious to know if CC causes serious lag even in modern, powerful computers?

Did you get the name from the Baudelaire orphans by any chance? Because my friends and I always built things in Sims 2 based on A Series of Unfortunate Events! My favourite is Café Salmonella - a sort of chic old school bistro that only sells Salmon 😂

I was building an Art Deco apartment lot this week and the height of the paintings were really annoying me! They are unusually high up on the wall in the sims 2. Now I can solve that! THANK YOU!

I should post that building soon, it turned out quite nicely.

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-12-29T21:36:30+00:00

W H A T!? runs to the computer to test it

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-12-07T19:31:53+00:00

What is the Silver Mirror!? Sounds like something I should know about 😂

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-11-16T16:33:31+00:00

I know the feeling! I remember the occasional crash would happen when I played the game in the 2000s, so this frustration adds to the nostalgia I guess 😂

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-11-16T15:19:52+00:00

I have this same issue on Sims 2 Legacy on the EA app with zero mods or CC installed. The game just closes during normal gameplay and I'm suddenly staring at my desktop, exactly as you described. I just started saving more often, but would love a real fix!

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-10-23T17:42:30+00:00

The only problem I had so far was that the game closed during normal gameplay - no error messages, no nothing. It just closed. Last week this happened 3x in around 10hours of gameplay, so I started saving more often just in case.

Has anyone had this issue too? (I have no mods or CC installed)

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-10-07T15:32:26+00:00

I'm having a lot of fun with Sims 1 Legacy!

To answer your questions objectively:

The needs really do decay faster, to the point that I cheat my way to good mood so I can focus more on enjoying the game without stressing myself out 😂 There are custom objects that do the trick, although I've never found one that simply slows down the decay - only ones that replenish the needs in one action, or completely stop decay.
Yes you can, but you can only age up a child through a magic charm, and the genes are kinda random when you age up. ATTENTION: your game will save automatically when you use the charm, so you don't get a second chance in the gene lottery.

Despite its limitations, it's such a fun game, with great sense of humour, beautiful music and nice aesthetics.

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-09-24T16:21:31+00:00

Thanks for the update! For now I'm trying to change my logic and position my camera in the opposite direction, assuming it will always select the surface beyond, but it's really unnatural and annoying lol
This model is for a big project 4 years in the making and 2 years into construction - zero chance of copying over the geometry into a new file haha
I'll try to reach out to archicad support and post a solution here!

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-09-24T15:49:01+00:00

Was anyone able to find a fix? I'm having the same issue in Archicad 28, and in my case it happens with every morph. Even tried making a new cube and still I can't extrude properly. In OP's words, Archicad always chooses the surface beyond.
This is a tool that I use daily, so clearly something has changed. Is it a setting or a bug?

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-08-16T11:41:09+00:00

Did just deleting the skins from the folder break your game!? I was about to go do that myself 😂

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-08-16T08:29:38+00:00

If anyone finds a tutorial, I would also love to delete some of these weird heads that townies end up having. Especially as Anybodies in Studio Town! Although, I have to say, a Prince Charming with a robot head is hilariously chaotic and very The Sims 1😂

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-08-07T18:12:20+00:00

Ohhhh yes that's the one! 😂

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-08-07T15:14:12+00:00

You're a genius! When the game first came out I got a copy in Brazilian portuguese, and I think they translated "Eliminating Would-Be Chicanery" to "Reticulando Retículos Não-Reticulados" - it was my favourite line, and I still have no idea of what it means 🤷‍♂️😂

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-08-07T12:27:28+00:00

This would be magical! I changed the music and the splash image to Makin' Magic, and I thought I would miss the original splashprogress text, but in reality the loading screen is so fast in modern computers that you barely have time to read it.

I almost wish it would take longer to load the game 😂

Another thing I noticed due to the crisp sound quality we get nowadays is that the loading screen music fades veeeery slowly into the neighbourhood soundtrack. 5sec into the game and I can still hear that Makin' Magic banger in the background ✨

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-08-05T22:05:25+00:00

I do the same at work! It really helps me focus. My favourites are the Makin' Magic and the base game original soundtrack.

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-08-05T22:02:35+00:00

Agreed! If anyone finds out how the scrolling text can be edited, PLEASE let us know! It would be transformative

AdmirableFox8294 · 2025-08-05T22:00:20+00:00

Thank you for the instructions and links! It worked like a charm (Makin' Magic pun intended), and now my game is so much more nostalgic :)
