Any guides still around?

Well The sims wiki is still a good place for some info.
Unfortunately the good guides i know are in french, but lately @Rflong7 had post a link in the thread about chance card, and it seems kinda good http://www.snootysims.com/thesims2index.php?id=infocenter .

Guides? We're here, what do you need? :mrgreen:

There is still a lot of information out there.

Oh I know. This is a wonderful community. I've never had a particular question go unanswered. I was hoping for something like:

carls-sims-4-guide.com/

But for TS2. I thought he had one but I can't find it.

And thanks Lulubadwolf! I think that's the guide I had been thinking of that I used to use!

If you're open to the old fashioned type, Ebay usually has all sorts of the originals. With patience you can get a full set of them. On the electronic side these forums are loaded with helpful simmers and oodles of links. Lots of interesting videos out there, too.

Are there any good TS2 guides around like Carl has for TS3-4?

Do you mean like what each hidden skill is, and how to do stuff and what each chance card means, and how to gain skills etc. and all that technical stuff like that. SnootySims still has the cheats for all that stuff and for all the boolprop cheats. ModtheSims still has some archived stuff and it may take me a minute to find it, it's stuff originally on the site when TS2 was new, and not what is seen over on the Wiki.

ETA: Here is the link to their Wiki but it still not what I was talking about, there is an older archive if I can still find it.

I would have sworn that "Carl" had a site llike this for TS2:

carls-sims-3-guide.com/

If you look at that site, it basically gives pretty much all information about any topic you wanted to learn about from how to create a Sim to how to climb up any career ladder. So if I wanted to find out how gardening worked, I could get detailed instructions.

I suppose I should write "Carl" and ask. In the meantime, the Snooty Sims will help. I did noticed that snooty sims is a bit confusing. Some of the pages are for TS3 and TS4 but some of it's for TS2. And it's easy to end up on the wrong section.

I'm not looking for anything specific right now, just some good sites to bookmark for reference. If anyone finds another resource, let me know.

Thanks guys!

I know Carl did have a guide for sims 2, but I think it has been gone a while. He might have let it go, no google search finds anything now, even the way back machine can't find anything, but I know it existed. I haven't been able to find anything of substance, just little bits here and there. If I run into anything I will let ya know.

So I'm not totally crazy and senile yet. Shew! Thanks, Jules1111! I feel better now!

Update: I reached out to "Carl" of Carl's Guides and he confirmed that he never did a TS2 guide. Jules1111, I checked that link for the Simswiki and while the page is there as is some of the information, many of the links are gone. For instance there is text that says there is a link to information on careers but there is no clickable link. Having said that, my computer has been acting VERY weird on the Internet the past couple of days with things not loading right. I get my new video card today so I'll check it again later. It looked like a good site and basically what I was hoping for.

@RiennaTelemnar Weird, i could have bet that he has done one for the sims 2 too :open_mouth:
