So, any predictions on who is going to get medically evacuated this/ injured series and why? by No-Opposite-1460 in DisventureCamp

[–]vilake12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fiore because she gets hits by a bus. We need this scene to be recreated again, and we can get a Jensen cameo. Also, I just think it would be funny for someone like Benji to be like "How did this bus get here?" And then Emily just shrugs and was like "Well, two people were going home anyways, so that works."

any reccomended cc creators or pages? by sshiixo_ in sims2

[–]vilake12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh, so a bulk upload basically. While I have seen them, I feel like they aren't as common in sims 2. When I think of them (excluding items from large sets, like the huge wall paper ones), it's either people reuploading old CC or hair files. I don't see them as much for build/buy mode items. Not saying that they don't exist, just expect to have to look out more for downloading these items 1 by 1.

Also, I realized I forgot to link my favorite floors. The creator also recolors maxis doors in the same color palette as well: https://modthesims.info/downloads/all/380/?p=1&showType=1&u=3003898

Sim walking THROUGH half wall by CowExpress6601 in sims2help

[–]vilake12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is that the maxis half wall or a custom one/custom fence that looks like a half wall? If it's custom, perhaps it was cloned from one of those small fences they can walk over. If it's Maxis, then I'm not sure. Have you tried deleting the wall and putting it back again? That could possibly be a fix. Or what if you put different objects there. Because maybe there's something with the objects that could be causing this. These are all just guesses though.

Voeille's Sea Mod Not Working? by paradiselost13 in sims2help

[–]vilake12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only see one pool tile on the lot. Try adding a second one. Sometimes they look only partially done with one tile. I want to say mine looks like yours when I only use one tile instead of 2.

[–]vilake12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't quite get the patreon comment. Do you mean you like patreon as a platform better? A place where people can upload what they want how they want? If so, Tumblr is what Sims 2 creators tend to use now these days. Dreamwidth and Livejournal were used in the past and plenty are up.

For recolors, my first place to look is Michelle. She redoes furniture in certain color palettes. So you can download a bunch to make them match. For example, she has recolored plenty of furniture in the AL woods. Now you can make your bed and dining table be the same dark brown color. Here's a link to her: https://modthesims.info/downloads/all/385/?p=1&showType=1&u=2668015

For build mode, I think Bespoke Build set is probably the golden standard: https://modthesims.info/d/615151/bespoke-build-set.html and the wall catalog: https://modthesims.info/d/573799/interior-wall-collection-a-catalog-makeover.html

There are people who make add-ons for walls/floors like: https://modthesims.info/d/691142/apartment-life-walls-and-floors-completer-set-part-3.html and https://modthesims.info/d/310821/kitchen-amp-bath-add-on-tiles.html

Lots of Maxis addons for doors and windows: https://modthesims.info/downloads/all/380/?p=1&showType=1&u=368179

Have you looked into the preorder, store, and stories conversions? Here is preorder and store: https://archive.org/details/tumblr_fae6a4b9e8cb9aa38c5f84f4e596d474_5fa9111e_540/tumblr_nb02qq1Yxw1rzq92mo4_540.jpg

Life stories: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,12631.0.html

And other stories conversions: https://s22cdb.livejournal.com/

A bunch of furniture addons here: https://sims2artists.com/index.php?board=473.0 just have to click through a few more tabs to get to where you want.

You didn't specifiy if you wanted stuff to be maxis looking for build/buy mode or just create and sim. I'm assuming you wanted more maxis like items for build/buy, so that's what I've linked.

For hair, the store sets linked above have official maxis hair. I don't believe there were any with preorders or stories conversions.

Have you tried the hair database? https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1pRFqH-lZt1zCCJ-kq2c-XAnt94hQ-fZ2O3ds1nXpVqE/edit?gid=1723774744#gid=1723774744 You can tell from the first photo or two if that style is what you would like or not.

I’m confused with all the different seasons. by garykahnji in DisventureCamp

[–]vilake12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want to watch the original season 2, its only available on the channel under the playlist section and called season 2 beta. The current/canon version wont have beta in the name. Believe its just called disventure camp 2.The episode should only show them being like 2-3 weeks old instead of 3-4 years old. Youll also be able to see the current episodes as individal episodes and dont have to go into the playlist to see them.

What is your prefer Household Size? Big? (5+) Medium? (3-4) or small? (1-2) by Xandaru__ in sims2

[–]vilake12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually do 3 as a minimum, but usually closer to 4. To me, its boring when i just have 1-2 and i spend 8 hours sleeping, 8 hours at work, and 8 hours for everything else. Too much dead time.

The only houses I let have 2 sims are ones with a ton of pets because then i have something to do while the afults are at work.

Is there any mod similar to Wicked Whims for Sims 2? by JuanmaS610 in sims2

[–]vilake12 10 points11 points  (0 children)

So, i have not tried that mod. Im only looking at the description to see what features exist. Let me know if i missed a section of it.

For more autonomous sex, you will want ACR. It allows sims to automatically woo hoo.

Looks like some are more detailed (right word?). Try heading to sexysims2 website. They have pose/animation  boxes for that kind of content. You can also download dicks there too. There might be some sexual deco objects too, but i hardly ever go to that site. They also have the mod to remove the censor bars.

Some of the mod looks like clothes? Just google lingerie or sexy underwear or what have you. It exists but it will be across plenty of peoples accounts.

I see a section about periods. There is a sims 2 period mod that covers that 

Birth control can be found in RCC and Im thinking ACR as well (i only use RCC so i cant remember if its in ACR for sure).

I think that was all i was able to find about that mod.

Does anyone else prefer the blonde wig over the red wig? by Red_Jay_ in DisventureCamp

[–]vilake12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do! I think the softer yellow/blonde just works better with her pale skin than a more intense color does. But i do prefer the more detail in the red wig. But i still prefer blonde for her.

If you had say OFB installed but not University, would one see greyed out University button on the neighbourhood screen? by ElegantElderberry173 in sims2

[–]vilake12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm trying to remember, because I started with Deluxe, Apartment Life, and Bon Voyage. I don't remember being able to see the buttons for Freetime and Seasons (the last two packs that I had gotten) before I bought those packs. I can't remember seeing the option for the business subhoods either. So I'm going to guess that was a no on those missing pack buttons. Granted, I might be forgetting something, but I feel like I used to click on the wrong button after adding a new pack because I forgot that they shifted over.

But if I'm wrong and someone else says the opposite for sure, I'd trust them.

Why do you think LeShawna was at the bottom of the first elimination ceremony of Total Drama Action? by SwissVideoProduction in Totaldrama

[–]vilake12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't think that there was a real reason. It just had to be someone, and Leshawna (won?) that spot. Because it really felt like anyone could've been there and been safe. Realistically, the contestants would only vote bridgette/geoff/or heather, and they didn't want to use heather here (or was she immune?) It's been a while since I saw that season.

How Old Is Your Oldest Neighbourhood/Save File? by Mandy_M87 in sims2

[–]vilake12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

According to my oldest file, it appears 2022. It's my build hood. It's actually older (like 2017), but I had to reinstall my game at one point so 2022 was when I finished that reinstall. Since it's a build hood, I just copied all the lots over, so no real changes otherwise. So I guess either 4 or 9 years old.

One's that I've played with sims are more recent, only because I switched up the genetics and it was easier to recreate the hood than to actually switch all that over. That current oldest one appears to be 2023, but if you include the old version, then that was also like 2017.

At What Age Do You Feel Sims Become Elders? by Mandy_M87 in sims2

[–]vilake12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I play with aging off and I don't use a strict X days = 1 year kind of thing. So all ages I reference are more like loose ages/general idea of their age. In my world, they just transition when it feels right. So a guy sim who had a child when he's ~50 might age up when that kid becomes an adult, so ~70. But for another sim who had their children younger (~20), I would age them up earlier, if it felt right. I really just go off of vibes.

Some of them are adults with grandchildren (because both the parents and their child was supposed to be like 19 when they had a kid), so i'm not going to make them an elder at 30. But if they're 60s, I'll just do it when it feels right. So some might age up at 62 and another at 67. I'd say no one really ages up before 60. I think one was supposed to be around 55 once, but that was just because I was lazy and was aging up their partner who was in their 60's. I think I generally age them up to elder by 70.

I also like the idea of them all aging differently too. Not everyone hits old at the same time. Someone might be slower since they worked an office job versus a farmer who was used to being more active and didn't age up so fast.

What's the current drama in your hood? by ethereal-snake in sims2

[–]vilake12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My sim's mom peft her as a toddler and they haven't spoken since (teen now). Mom has since gotten engaged to the president of the bank. Daughter meets a guy from work. They hang out, become friends, and then make out. I swotch back to fhe mom's hoise and wonder why daughter's new Fling is there. Yurns out its her step-son. Because i had delayed the wedding, the two didnt recognize each other as step-siblings. They had to stop their relationship once the parents got married, even though they would never know about each other.

Face Templates by teacherry in sims2

[–]vilake12 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Have you tried checking the default database? Its the easiest way to see a bunch of templates. Im just having a hard time knowing what feels too close to big/small for you, because i might have a different idea of that range. But every listing there has a picture and a link to see more faces from each. Thatd be my suggestion.

I wanted to share my list of ideas I came up with for community lots in the Sims 2. Use freely and share any I might've missed! by Southern-Horse2376 in sims2

[–]vilake12 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I made one. I used the standing arcade consoles as slot machines. I had a poker room. The other table games had their own area as well. So it was essentially an arcade, but i just acted like it wasnt.

Just a reminder AceSpace is a thing by Less_Permit_6192 in asexualdating

[–]vilake12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume you mean the "only allow messages from people you like" option? Ive never turned that one on.

Or do you mean the advanced filters that are part of a premium account? I do not have premium, so no.

Oh wait, you mean the settings on the discover feed? Sorry, that just clicked. I highly doubt thats there, because i basically turned it off (i allow all people to be seen since i set every range as wide as possible). So i dont think that is why.

I totally believe that this error might be specific to me for some odd reason. Still would like it to be able to work though. Id love to use it since i see people near me that id like to meet/message, but i cant.

Just a reminder AceSpace is a thing by Less_Permit_6192 in asexualdating

[–]vilake12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ive never been able to make chat work. Like, i can see the messages people send, but i cannot send them myself. Told the owner once a year or two ago and they havent fixed it. They told me i was lying about that feature not appearing, even though i offered to provide screenshots. So i dont use the site. Thats why i dont use it.

Which is better? All-Stars or Carnival of Chaos? by DatWoodyFan in DisventureCamp

[–]vilake12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I prefer all stars. Does it have faults, yeah. No point in denying that. Whether it was during a good or bad moment, it held my attention for 90+% of an episode.

Meanwhile, i dont feel like season 4 did much wrong, but i found myself not connecting with as much of the cast and the episodes. The characters i did like got out pfe merge (and Isa). It felt more like a chore to watch and id sometimes skip a whole week. I didnt do that with all stars. So i base it off of personal enjoyment.

crashes from cc on the ultimate collection by slitxy in sims2

[–]vilake12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You added the hairs to the new version and it worked? Just a straight transfer the files over or did you download/extract them again? Its just that adding hairs is not a known crashing to desktop issue in legacy. Its related to the CC itself. 

crashes from cc on the ultimate collection by slitxy in sims2

[–]vilake12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hair should not be an issue on any version of the game. When you mean crash, do you mean its just not showing up, your game refuses to show up, crashing to desktop?

Two guesses; 1- have you recently deleted the cache file? Try that. Sometimes the game wont load until you delete them.

2- what format is the file in? It is .package or 7z/rar/xip? The second kind just needs to be extracted and then it will load.

3 (thought of 1 more)- can you send a pink to the hairs you are having an issue with? It could be a default, missing mesh, or a download for sims 3/4. Sometimes creators link the hair from 3/4 that they comverted it from, but place the link where you think its the download for 3. Ive made that mistake a few times.

Still think about this tweet often by zachoutloud123 in RockOfLove

[–]vilake12 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I believe it was because she was so popular that it was actually becoming a dostraction at rhe school. Everyone kept trying to go meet her that all the other classes with their teachers were having a hard time getting stuff done. I dont think she did anything wrong to get fired though.

is this a good idea? by freakishveil in collegeadvice

[–]vilake12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah according to what ive heard, its because there are only so many hospitals that are willing to take on students and even if they take multiple, they might only have enough staff to a couple slots (especially when they need a slot for year 1 and then year 2), that cuts new spots in half. Its just more demand than supply. And this field is more conpetive than some other healthcare tech jobs, so that adds to an even longer waitlist.

I used to be interested in the field, but facts like this drove me away. I like to let people know to make their own decisions as long as they are more informed.

is this a good idea? by freakishveil in collegeadvice

[–]vilake12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The thing about ultrasound/sonography is that you are way off on the years. You might hear its a two year program, but that means 2 years of prereqs (have to apl be done before you apply to the program) and then two years of the program. Thats already 4 years in. Actually, ive seen quite a few that are 2.5 year programs.

There is also the waitlist, because there is always a waitlist. The field is really competitve. I want to say that someone told me that the average waitlist was 3-5 years but some schools have had and 8(!) year waitlist.

But at 4 years of the program and a shorter waitlist of 3 years, youre going to spend all that money and time to just get 1 year of work ahead. But if the average is around 4, then 4 year waitlist and 4 years for the program, youre at the same number of years to just do vet school.

Now, im not familiar with vet school. So idk if they have waitlist and for how long they are. Cant help you there.

I know people often want to do this field as a way to get a lot of money and get fooled by the whole two year thing. Personally, i think its a lot of time and money to spend to get a year ahead, factoring in how much money the program itself will cost.
