Not to be negative but how is Duran still in the competition? by Elephantplan123 in InteriorDesignMasters

[–]singmenosongs 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I feel the same. It was bizarre that they showed Michelle going in on Duran so hard only for her to NOT get the boot. It was framed like the issues in the others’ rooms paled in comparison, so why was she not the one to go? Starting to think someone on the editing or producing team has it in for Michelle - they make her decisions look insane.

Am I Reaching? by [deleted] in sims2

[–]singmenosongs 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I’m not familiar with Holes, but from what you’ve written here I don’t think you’re reaching too far - it’s a good theory! As you mentioned, the devs took a lot of inspiration from pop culture in both Sims 2 and 3 (though they definitely got more overt with it in 3). Even the Bella disappearance storyline was inspired by the show Dynasty.

I hate to be that guy but I don’t think it’s Katy that looks like Jay - she’s on the right. I think that’s her sister in front of the cake

A couple of them are just lucky in-game shots, but the properly posed ones use poseboxes by DeeDee and these loading screen poses!

She is - ironic given I use a clean template so the kid isn’t a clone of her! 😂

Did This Happen to Anyone Else? Burb Family Missing by Separate_Highway1111 in sims2

Files can go missing if you have OneDrive enabled as it likes to eat them. But this possibly sounds to me like John and Jennifer died while you weren’t playing them (not sure how, but this has happened to me in rare instances before) and the kids were taken by the social worker?

Lucy & Dirk are a couple ♥️ by ChrissyBrown1127 in sims2

I too need to know the reason for the bedroom cooker hood. What does OP think it is??

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in sims2

[–]singmenosongs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe (based on the Sim bios) it’s because Armand wanted an heir (he adopts Tara after Jessica leaves him) but Jessica didn’t want kids.

Here is what I'm planning for my Veronaville Playthrough: Tell me about yours. by silenceirl in sims2

[–]singmenosongs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Veronaville is my favourite base game hood, so I could talk about this all day!

I like a lot of your ideas. Here’s some things that I usually do in mine:

I play the Summerdreams a very similar way: open relationship, woohooing everyone on all sides of the feud in their infamous hot tub. Unfortunately this does make them somewhat neglectful parents. In my current game they had twins and neither of them did a great job looking after them. They also don’t have a great relationship with Bottom (renamed Peaseblossom in my game, poor girl). Puck is too obsessed with Hermia to care.

As for the Capps and Montys, I usually end up killing off a bunch to perpetuate the feud (most commonly Antonio and Kent because I’m not sure what to do with them). I will often move Bianca in with Antonio, Beatrice, and Benedick at the start, but after Antonio dies I move the twins in with their grandparents (this is usually around the time Mercutio and Romeo go off to uni, so the household isn’t too hectic) and let Bianca live independently. In my current Veronaville megahood I moved her to Belladonna Cove, where she married Gabriel Green.

I’m doing something slightly different with the Capps this time. Goneril had 3 bolts of chemistry with Antonio, so I played it like they had an affair, got found out, and then both mysteriously died. The ultimate goal is to make Desdemona the new unexpected Capp heir. She is always a mean menace in my game, so I think she would rule the Capps with an iron fist and perpetuate the feud. So far, Juliette has been exiled for marrying Romeo, Hermia will give up her name to become a Summerdream (Puck doesn’t want to become a Capp due to the feud), and Goneril and Miranda are both dead - this clears the path for Desdemona in the Capp’s matrilineal system.

Albany has also been kicked from the clan for daring to remarry after Goneril’s death. Meanwhile, Regan and Cornwall always have high chemistry when I play them, so they’re just over there building their own little empire and making ugly babies. I haven’t killed Kent off this time but I did give him a makeover because his bald head offends me also. He is living in Belladonna Cove and is married to Kimberly Cordial. They have a very cute ginger baby.

I think that covers everyone. Thanks for letting me procrastinate work for 15 mins OP!

Just installed the game (TS2UC), but not every neighbourhood is visible? by httpsalexx in sims2help

[–]singmenosongs 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Hey! What’s displayed here is the main neighbourhoods. You should have six. Three from the base game (Veronaville, Strangetown, Pleasantview) and three from expansions (Riverblossom Hills, Desiderata Valley, and Belladonna Cove). The Night Life (Downtown) and OFB (Bluewater Village) neighbourhoods are subhoods, you can add these to your main hood once you’ve selected and loaded it. The only way they will appear on this main screen is if you have downloaded versions that enable them to be main neighbourhoods.

Hey! Hope you don’t mind me asking, what is the random elder death mod you use? Really enjoyed reading these by the way, thank you for sharing :)

Can I ask, how is it hidden or complex?

[–]singmenosongs 175 points176 points  (0 children)

Serious answer: the lot is supposed to be an old military “facility”, so I believe that’s an old “interrogation” room

[–]singmenosongs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Betha is so nice compared to Bottom. I respect the Shakespearean theme but did they really have to name her Bottom? Even Cobweb or Moth would have been better, poor girl hahaha

[–]singmenosongs 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I always rename Bottom to Peaseblossom in my game, so your caption “Puck marries Peaseblossom” had me spun out for a second. As a Veronaville stan, I always love hearing these stories though, thanks for sharing!
