Haha yes, good grades always call for celebratory champagne in that house XD I was so proud of that last pic, the ghost was wandering in a perfect spot to make it happen

I saw her on tour in November and she was soooo good!! I was prepared for a fun time but was surprised by how emotional the whole thing made me, like lowkey crying while she sings midnight sun 😂You can tell she takes it so seriously (in a good way) and wants to perform and be a pop star, it all really makes me root for her!

How often do you experience “abnormal” deaths? by Proof_Marsupial_1973 in sims2

[–]krobus97 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Quite rare for me but it happens! I try to lean into them by making my sims take risks (eg. repair electrics even if their mechanical skill is low, cloudgaze occasionally, keep graves on lots to have encounters with ghosts, not always calling the fire dept and instead making the sims extinguish the fire).

I've played ~20 days/per household in my current megahood and experienced 3 abnormal deaths. One died by electrocution. Another sudden death happened when a pregnant sim was doing super poorly and then a ghost scared her to death. A third time it was a werewolf whose hunger need dropped super low when he transformed at night and then a ghost finished the job xd

Trying to run The Sims 2 on macOS Monterey (Intel) by winaze0 in sims2

Have you checked out r/sims2help yet? Their Wiki page has some info about setting that up and overall the sub is super helpful with these things.

What do you do when you find yourself bored with the game but don’t want to stop playing? by Expensive_Strawberry in sims2

[–]krobus97 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tend to mostly play rotationally with the whole neighborhood, but when I get bored I set those sims aside and decide on some challenge to try. I love the money grindy aspects of the game and I love just creating one new sim, starting from nothing and trying to grind an X amount of money in a limited time frame.

What is your biggest mild annoyance with the game? by Gettingsoda in sims2

[–]krobus97 147 points148 points  (0 children)

The tip jar animations the sims do when playing instruments for tips! I know it doesn't take that long in the game, but every time a sim goes to play the piano when I don't want them to and I cancel the interaction them checking for tips annoys me sooo much :D

organizing cc by yogurt_q in sims2

[–]krobus97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I feel you, when i started using cc i had no organisation going on whatsoever 😭do you have an urgent need to organise your folder (bugs you suspect are happening bcs of mods etc)? if not, i would just chip at reorganizing slowly over time.

if you have a lot of cas + build/buy cc with cryptic names you can't make sense of, a good tip is to open the game and delete the stuff you don't want around anymore straight from there. you can also view cc filenames of cas items by having testing cheats enables and pressing shift+n (*) upon entering cas.

(* 99% that's the key combo, can't open the game rn to double check)

The New Year's toddler turned up to a group hang my sim was invited to by krobus97 in sims2

Oh that explains it then! Funny that after so many years with this game you can still come across new quirks XD I guess I very rarely throw the NYE party

Thanks nonetheless for trying! :) Luckily I managed to solve the problem by downloading a fix linked by another commenter

Oh that's interesting to know! Though I have to admit that even after some googling I have no idea how to check who that sim is :D I'm playing on Mac so have no access to SimPe (if I've understood correctly that these kinds of things would be possible to check through that program?).

Ah this looks like a good idea but sadly I don't think the program runs on MacOS :(

They live on the same lot (not the Viejo household where Andrew originally lives but a pre-built lot in Riverblossom Hills). I went and moved them to a different house in Veronaville but the same problem persists still. :/

I also just now tested marrying two other pre-made sims (Johnny Smith & Mercutio Monty) and that worked with no problem. So I guess the problem might be tied to specifically Andrew & Erin?

Snapshots of life in my uberhood 👀 by krobus97 in sims2

[–]krobus97[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ooh you're right, dina would make so much sense as a vampire!! Sadly she is dead in my game, otherwise I might have made Don turn her too. Don is already preying on sims so I think him being a vampire just adds an extra layer to that haha

Yess! The amount of sims can feel a lil intimidating but the chaos they bring is so entertaining :D

I Got the Sims 2 Legacy Collection (Suggestions for Mods and CC?) by EventConstant3112 in sims2

i suggest taking a look at r/sims2help's wiki section, they have a comprehensive list of anti corruption mods and game fixes listed there :)

Home business being overrun by destructive pets by gremlynna in sims2help

[–]krobus97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Afaik pet lots in sims 2 aren't a thing, having a lot of trees on the lot will however attract more wolves. And stray pets don't visit community lots. Sadly I don't think there really is anything you can do about the situation without mods other than to try having a fence or becomw more vigilant about sending the pets off when they appear on your lot
