Any guides still around?

Snooty Sims has left their TS2 information page up. It has information on careers and some of the Chance cards; not all though.

Mike Inside was one of the first building sites I used and where I learned to do the userStartup cheat :)

Here's a Strategy Guild I found. I've used the info for the Chemistry so I don't know how reliable it all is..

**Scratches head** Very strange, I could have sworn that he made one. He would know for sure though. :p I wonder what the heck I was thinking about, maybe I was thinking about 3? It has been to long. :D Oh well @Rflong7 to the rescue... as usual. <3

Me too Jules1111! I hardly played TS3 plus it came out when I was living somewhere else. I remember looking at SOMETHING for reference when I was playing TS2. Maybe it's one of those Rflong7 posted above. Seems to me I might have printed some stuff out long ago so I'll dig around in my "old stuff" cabinet. The above list is great though. I'll be reading up more this weekend!

EDIT: Ok so I had a few minutes before work today and dug around in my "old gaming stuff" cabinet and guess what. I found a print out timestamped 10/27/2007 of all careers up to that date, how much skill you needed to get promoted, work days, salaries and friends. And it's from Snooty Sims.

Jules1111, I think that's what we must have been thinking about, along with the sadly shut down TS2 forums.

I have the Prima Official Guides for Sims2. They're all in my closet.

@RiennaTelemnar I just found this looking for something else. It is a online guide. They need to be downloaded though.

I use The Sims Wiki very often. Other than that, there's GameFAQs, and the Internet Archive has some official Prima strategy guides in pdf format.

Ive seen some of the guides in e format. Not many though.

I still have all my guides even for the sims 1, 2 and 3. Love them!

The community here is really good at answering questions.

Oh yes. I don't have questions go unanswered for long. As mentioned, I just miss all that information we used to have. But I found the stuff I really needed which is information about all the careers. Printed out and on my desk for the next gen to get good jobs!

I wish I would have had a game guide for TS1. I bought a Prima Guide TS2 book right after TS2 came out. I thought by reading through the TS2 guide it would help me with TS1 or be similar. Of course it was 2 totally different games. This is when I realized TS2 had my full attention. I still have my Prima Guide and actually reference it from time to time.
