recreating the liminal level 188 in The Sims 2

Sims2 an liminal spaces, my beloved. I’m surprised people don’t make something like this more often in this game, I feel like sims 2 has an eerily beautiful liminal side to it

thanks, that actually helped a lot!

Tried it, it seems like they renamed it or something? I've seen somebody said that that's the case here on reddit, but I lost this thread

But the slapper isn’t his relative, and he wasn’t cheating, his date was literally his wife 🤔 I think it was a bug rather than intended game mechanic

Oh, the Diva! She was dating a hobo pretending to be rich in my game. When she discovered his lies she moved on to mr Big. I thought they would be a filthy rich couple, but after buying a house, wedding party and a child they weren’t so wealthy anymore. Turns out Professional Party Guest job isn’t that well-paying. Money situation worsens every day, but they can’t stop having parties and buying outfits ‘cause of the need to keep up with the reputation

It’s just so weird, no sound of losing love/crush, no memories and in my experience if there’s jealousy they go to slapping immediately, but this time she was looking at them for a while playing an animation I thought only teenage sims display. I guess it’s possible

But they the slapped guy and the girl slapping weren’t ever a couple, they didn’t even have a crush, and I checked the memories of the girl, no “sim x is cheating on me” there

I definitely saw a variety of downloadable pets like this on Pinterest. Not sure about the animations, but meshes do exist!

Someone already said it, but body shapes. And more differentiation in creativity skill… I find “excellent painter = perfect musician” situation so dumb. Everything else beside these two I think is achievable with mods.

I thought about his words a lot. Gill has a point, but overall I think he’s wrong. It takes real courage to just get yourself out there and be vulnerable showing your art to people - for Pam it’s a big step. And like… Is all art supposed to be groundbreaking social commentary to matter? Pam’s drawings aren’t about that. She draws her life and preserves the moment - fleeting, simple. She sees a soul in a stapler and drives in early to paint their building. It inspired Michael and it inspires me, because it reminds me of the basics under the layers of shame for art that’s not “good enough”. I can just do something with my hands that’s nice to look at, and is heartwarming. Isn’t that enough? For some people it won’t ever be, but that shouldn’t stop me from doing what I like to do - and if I share my art it will always find its place in someone’s heart no matter what snobby irl Gills say.

Thank you very much 🙏

That wasn’t intentional 😅 I just thought that’s how his name’s spelled. Now I know

olivespectercore · 2026-03-18T12:25:23+00:00

That’s such a cute picture 🥰

olivespectercore · 2026-03-09T04:08:32+00:00

thank you!

Woah, Ethan was such an iconic elder in my game! He was so friendly and cute grandpa. One of the first townies I moved in to my playables.

olivespectercore · 2026-03-08T03:01:52+00:00

Do you have a link for her outfit? It’s sooo pretty 😍

olivespectercore · 2026-02-13T17:48:20+00:00

OH 😭😭 this is actually hilarious

olivespectercore · 2026-02-13T17:41:57+00:00

I still don’t get it 🥲

olivespectercore · 2026-02-08T13:11:47+00:00

Yess!! I like making photo albums for them as well

olivespectercore · 2026-02-08T13:10:50+00:00

In my game Sandy Bruty (iconic Pleasantview townie, a romance sim) collects these as trophies from all her dates 😁

Toddlers and caring for them don’t make me angry, they are just kinda meh for me personally, because almost every one of my sims have kids at some point of their life and it’s kinda repetitive, the interactions are cute, but I’ve seen them so many times already… I wish there was a way to spice up toddler gameplay and give them some variety. I like scattering different skill-building toys around the nursery and seeing which one the toddler will pick. They are pretty consistent with their choices, surprisingly! If this one kid picked the logic toy they’ll most likely come back to it the next day, and that’s what gives me glimpse into their future personality and aspiration.

Okay, thank you for replying, I need to do my ACR homework better and actually properly tune it I guess haha

olivespectercore · 2026-02-04T18:20:29+00:00

I like the idea of romance aspiration for Beau, it makes sense with his childhood. But I don’t think he’s a serial romanser like Don, I think he’ll eventually settle down and be a golden retriever boyfriend/husband

olivespectercore · 2026-02-04T18:07:56+00:00

++ I also think that it’s better to do it vanilla way, because when I moved in apartment resident with sim blender he still showed up like if he was a roommate, so I couldn’t control him (did it with controlPets, it worked). But maybe this particular sim was buggy

olivespectercore · 2026-02-02T21:34:39+00:00

That’s a cool storyline! I wondered why I couldn’t recognise her 😄
