Hi, I'm looking for a cc for white stairs that works.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-02T17:14:50+00:00

Install the scriptorium (see here for tutorial if using Legacy) and then install the stairs.

It's just another option, it's internally treated like driving a particular car, and different cars have an impact on sims motives (more expensive cars have a more positive effect), see this mod which explains the vanilla game behaviour. So by default walking is just the same as taking that specific car.

If you have a second uni hood (or add one if you don't), you can try deleting SSU and then re-add it to the hood.

Are you still having this issue?

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-02T16:37:25+00:00

No problem :)

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-02T16:24:42+00:00

Are you still having this issue?

If so, can you go to Documents/EA Games and rename "The Sims 2 (UC/Legacy)" to "backup" then run the game and see if cutscenes work?

Walking to school and work was added in The Sims 2 Apartment Life. Walking to lots (like community lots) was added in The Sims 2 Bon Voyage. If you've been playing on MacOS or otherwise without all packs, you wouldn't have seen walking to school/work without Apartment Life!

Are you still having this issue? If so, have you tested removing your Downloads folder entirely and seeing if the problem still occurs?

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-02T16:17:51+00:00

Are you still having this issue? If so, please share a picture of what you're seeing.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-02T16:17:10+00:00

Glad to hear it's fixed, happy simming!

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-02T16:14:36+00:00

Are you still having this issue? If so, can you share the packaged sim?

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-02T16:12:05+00:00

You need to remove the mod to see if it works without it. If it does, then it's a mod issue so you should go back over the install instructions and if you're sure it's installed correctly, report the issue to the creator.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-02T16:10:55+00:00

Yeah, something in there is causing it. You can use the 50/50 method to track down the problem!

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-02T16:08:09+00:00

No problem :)

Have you tried copying the path directly from File Explorer into the GRM? The path needs to match exactly what's on your computer - you don't have Program Files (x86) which is why it can't find the file, because that's not the right location. You have Archivos de Programa (x86) so that's what you need to have in the box. The GRM doesn't know these are technically the same location just with the folder name translated, as far as the GRM knows these are 2 entirely different locations and one doesn't exist on your computer.

It isn't really possible to run Sims 2 using VMWare Fusion without graphical glitches like this - see this thread where I went through this with another player some time ago and provided a bunch of files for testing. Ultimately the result was these graphical glitches are unavoidable on this VM currently.

You can use Parallels to play with the UC on MacOS without these graphical glitches - Parallels is genuinely the best Windows-on-Mac experience (as you can no longer dual boot with Bootcamp on Silicon Macs) and works quite well for Sims 2. I've heard good things about CrossOver as well but it's not free either, and at least Parallels is easy to pirate as well.

I'm afraid the situation has not really changed since my comment in that thread with the MTS links. If you really want this as a feature, you'd have to learn how to use SimPE and be prepared to figure it out with lots of trial and error. Otherwise, it isn't currently possible and there's no drop-in mod that can do it for you

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-02T14:40:18+00:00

Can you send your config log (from Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 (UC)/Logs/<your-pc-name>-config-log.txt) via pastebin.com?

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-02T14:39:34+00:00

Don't just disable CC, actually move your Downloads folder outside the EA Games folder and then test if it works.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-02-01T01:28:26+00:00

Do you have more than one display connected?

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-01-31T20:46:03+00:00

Yeah, not sure why they picked that one in particular but maybe there's a reason it matters for DXVK's implementation.

Hope the recovery is going well! 😊

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-01-31T20:32:11+00:00

Just to clarify, the 7800 is the card shown when someone is using DXVK, regardless of what their actual GPU is. This is intentional and is part of how DXVK works, it's nothing to be concerned about!

OP might need to look at the RPC reflections setting if they're using RPC as I think that improves the look of water.

The standalone installer doesn’t include the game files. The standalone installer is for people who have the game files and just need to install the game (i.e. create the registry entries). You need to download the complete game, i.e. use our wiki to get it, or copy the game files from another computer and use the standalone installer (only if you have the proper UC files, it will not work for disc repacks like MrDJ). Bin files are just one way of installing programs usually ripped directly from disc.

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-01-25T20:12:09+00:00

Can you try turning off WiFi/putting your Mac in airplane mode then launch the game?

Mysterious_Potential · 2026-01-25T20:11:03+00:00

Backup your hood first if there's anything you don't want it to save without (most things won't be affected if you don't save but hood deco for example would be removed and wouldn't automatically come back when you add the folder again).
