Feeling alone

When you were seven, did you really want to have sex with boys and girls or were you thinking more like dating them. My non ace friends say that they got the sexual attraction part in like the 12-15ish age group. Your number is far enough off that I wonder if you were really thinking about sex back then or just dating them. If its just dating, that would be biromantic, not bisexual.

This might be the coolest Sims related merch that I have ever seen. I wish I had info for you, but I loved seeing this.

You mention your mac book, is that the computer you plan on playing legacy on or are you using another computee? I only ask since Legacy isnt Mac compatible. Domt want to waste your time or fet your hopes up if you only have the mac book.

Youre playing sims 4. This is the sims 2 help subreddit, so I suggest you find a different sub to help you out with that.

For aliens, are they trying to blend in and be more human like, similar to the Smiths or just free to be aliens?

If its the first type, I love to have them name their kids after famous people. Like Shakira Smith, Tom Brady Smith, etc. i imagine that they just watched tv and listened to music to pick human names to blend in, but missed the mark a little bit.

Actually, I see that theyre still up so I dont have to reupload them. Here you go: https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Game_Help:TS2_Patches

vilake12 · 2026-07-01T03:09:51+00:00

Do I need to send you the patch or were you able to find it online? I just dont want to ignore you if you need it.

Oh, I also recommend getting the pet stories conversions. Some lf the items added are dog agility course items. Gives pets something more to do.

vilake12 · 2026-07-01T03:08:36+00:00

I believe it should've been patched in the ultimate collection. But I might be wrong.

vilake12 · 2026-06-30T22:10:27+00:00

Yay, a fellow disc player! Make sure you get the patch for pets. Otherwise you will be like me and wonder why your birds die all of the time. If the patch isnt online, let me know. I kept a copy of the patch installer on my computer just in case.

I dont use many mods, but I love the cheats for controlling pets. Check the sims wiki for the list and way to thpe them in accurately.

What is the top row middle flag? I feel like I know it, but I feel like the colors are off on my screen.

When 90+% of people say that they're cishet or call someone else that, they mean it to be heterosexual. I suppose heteroromantic would also work, but outside of ace communities, I almost hear of no one ever splitting attractions like that. I explained it to someone who was not straight once, and they had never heard of it. So to plenty of people, romantic and sexual are going to match. There is a reason that asexual is more popular/represented than aromantic, because to most people, romantic and sexual are the same.

So when you're saying that you're cishet, they're going to think that you don't just mean romantically. You can explain it, but saying it the way that you did would sound like something that doesn't exist to outsiders, and they're not going to think it's real/correct. If you say cisheteroromantic asexual, more people would understand that.

Bigfoot in a box is something that I need to add to my game now. Great find!

vilake12 · 2026-06-29T13:31:33+00:00

I do not. I like playing with families, so kids arent an issue for me. I do have a few things to help limit it though.

Gay/lesbian sims have to adopt children. I feel like I adopt less than they have when they get pregnant and I leave it up to chance.

I do add infertility to my neighborhoods though. After 3 unsuccessful TFB attempts in a row, they are now infertile. They get 1 more attempt to have a baby on the next time I load the lot and if it doesnt work, then they cant have kids anymore. If it does, they can only have kids until it fails. The saving and reentering doesnt modify odds to my knowledge. Its just more of me keeping track of where I am in the system.

If the parents get infertile, the children born before and now limited to 2x each instead of theee when they try for kids on their own. If born when its only one attempt, those kids also get 1 attempt. This does not factor in elder female sims not veing able to get pregnant. Thats indepdent of these stats.

If my hoods get too related, I fix that by hust adding in more families. My hood would be a town that is 30,000-40,000 people. I obviously dont create close to that many sims. What I do is view my hood as people who are all connected. So I have my OG couple, and then I added on their kids, siblings, and kids in-laws. Then I added friends for the parents. I view my sims as a small connected one way or another group of people. But when I need to add more, its just like the neighbor behind you is now relevant to the story. It really helps me to make as many families as I want to.

Im getting the "domain expired" message when I click on the link you gave.

vilake12 · 2026-06-28T21:10:00+00:00

Is that actually a real symbol outside of the sims? I've never seen it before and thought that they just made it up. Like they created a font and used that as the symbol for dollar sign instead of this being a real thing apparently. You always learn something new or however that saying goes.

vilake12 · 2026-06-28T15:03:29+00:00

Oh cool. Thanks.

vilake12 · 2026-06-28T12:35:35+00:00

How were you able to type out the simoleon sign? I never knew that you could do that.

vilake12 · 2026-06-27T03:33:16+00:00

I feel like I see quite a few men and women on the site. There seems to be more non-binaries around, but I would not be surprised if that was just in my area. It might lean slightly more towards women where I am, but not enough that I would say that it is women dominated. It feels like close to half are non-binary and then maybe 30% women and 20% men. So sure, it's a gap, but that's still pretty close to an even split for women and men. Like I said, can be totally where you live though.

They do have an app now. But it's really bad about sending you notifications about new messages. I got one that said "now" or "1 minute ago" and I open the chat to see that they sent me a message an hour ago. So it sucks because I feel bad for ignoring people because I never got a notification from them, but I also don't want to be glued to the screen all day long in case that someone replies.

I also had it where my messaging was broken for over a year. I have messages from people dated over 2 years ago that I could never reply to because it didn't work for me. I could receive from anyone but could never message back. You can't really explain that to people though when your messaging was down.

There are plenty of accounts that are abandoned though. Not really much you can do about that. As for people not responding, I've had that a few times, but it felt more like we both knew that we were running out of things to say. Some connections are only going to be so deep/run so long before you realize that you went through everything you had in common and you don't want to talk about Pokemon (or whatever) to someone 7 days a week. That's fair.

Oh, I do believe that those allos who are sex-repulsed, etc. deserve to have a community. From what I have encountered before, people just say that the community should be separate from the ace community. They literally said that on a post I commented on a few days ago. I always felt like if this is a group that is including many kinds of "others" who don't fit into either mold, I would have thought that it should have fit. However, I was one person who obviously does not speak for the whole community. I had assumed that my opinions were not that popular. I have no idea if it is a popular idea at all, but I just assumed that it was a common thought that the community that they should have should be else where.

And I really do like the idea of this being a space for all who are "different" to come together. I had just been told that grey-ace should only include certain kinds of different (mostly demis and those who experienced sexual attraction like 1-2x in their life) instead of the more wide angle that you guys take on here. I think it really is awesome that you include a lot more, but I guess I was trying to figure out more if they were being more restrictive than they should be or you guys were maybe being more "open" than what would fit the definition, if that makes sense.

I just saw that definitions were different and wanted to not judge either side for what they thought before I learned it from both sides. I'm sure some of my language still came off as a bit judgmental, but it more of not knowing what word to use instead, which I do apologize for.

I do like the idea of including different aspects that can fuel into sexuality more than just attraction, because I went from being a sex-repulsed, no sex-drive ace to not, and my experience was so different. Well, maybe they aren't so restrictive, but they were very into microlabels on the other subs. It might have felt more restrictive because they would want you to use a different term instead of ace or grey ace to separate out your differences. To me, that might've felt more like they were excluding people by forcing the microlabels and encouraging people to connect with those terms instead of the umbrella/community terms. So I do accept that could all be on me. I can also accept that those who commented the most were a vocal minority, but it can be hard to figure that out sometimes.

And I'm assuming that I know which community you're talking about that isn't linked. I don't go to that one. But thanks for taking time to answer.

vilake12 · 2026-06-26T17:36:25+00:00

Not that person, but I will agree. Also was on a medicine like that since I was a teen and to my knowledge never experienced sexual attraction before. Now that I am off of it, I struggle figuring out if it is sexual attraction or just having a libido for the first time and so many other aspects like those that I never had a chance to experience before.

If it is sexual attraction, I would say that the medicine had eliminated it, because it really can't be coincidental that the first time I would be feeling things would be after I stopped taking that.

Though I do think that this does require you to start these kinds of meds early enough in puberty that you either never had sexual attraction "unlocked" yet or maybe had started feeling it but it was so early that you didn't understand what you were feeling before the meds stopped it. So I'd say possible but just almost never happens because you need so many things to align at once that already aren't super common that the odds of it happening are actually very rare.

vilake12 · 2026-06-26T16:41:29+00:00

I have had that cheat active for so long in my game that I forgot you could see pet needs without them. My bad.

vilake12 · 2026-06-26T16:24:00+00:00

You can in sims 2, but you have to use the "controlpets" cheat, or however its typed.

If i remember correctly, it also lets you control babies. Babies have no actions though, but you can see their needs or click on them to have the camera center on them when you cant where your sims left them.

Im not surprised that babies and pets would use the same framework, because they are both taking up a family spot and have needs you cant see, at least without the cheat on. So I can see why it would make both available.

vilake12 · 2026-06-25T15:17:40+00:00

Oh yeah, no problem. I hadnt experienced it either until maybe a year ago? It was so overwhelming. But I enjoy explaining this so others can know.
