Sims 2: Editing an existing Sim

I think I may be missing something, but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this.

I have run boolprop testingsheatsenabled true and when I shift click on a sim, I get a whole pile of cool stuff, but nothing about editing the Sim.

Any help appreciated :)
  • @ArilyBoo‌ Useful stuff. Thank you.

    Having played some Sims 2 now, I think I would kill for an updated version of the UC. The detail still blows me away. Sims 4 was my first experience of the Sims and I loved it (and still do), but I really do see why 4 is accused of being lightweight in comparison to 2.

    The image that I posted above, a couple of seconds after that...(I missed the shot, sadly)..he strokes her hair and then settles back down. Sims 4 animations lack these tiny details and they really do make a big difference.

    I completely agree with you about the personality points. I feel like each sim you create is unique. Sims 4 would benefit from something like that to provide a little more subtlety - traits are pretty powerful.

    Hi - well, it's been a long while since I played Sims 2 but let's see. It's in Buy Mode in the Miscellaneous section from what I can gather / remember. It's a potted ficus plant costing 10 simoleons.

    When you say you've 'activated everything' do you mean you've enabled custom content?

    Once you've found and bought it just place it somewhere handy on the lot. I can't recall how to use it but it's probably just a matter of clicking on it and selecting the option(s) you want. The best thing is it to put it in a household you're not too bothered about and have a little practice on an unwary Sim.

    If things go awry you can always come out without saving, but definitely don't risk using it on any Sims that are precious to you until you know what you're up to :)


  • Before Origin, when I used to play TS2 I swear there was a cheat. I remember changing the sims face shape and everything, was my favourite thing to do in the Sims 2 University.
  • Hii. I have a mac, re-bought sims 2 with the apple store after my pc broke forever. There's this annoying bug where the lightest skin tone works everywhere but the face. My sim's skin was fine as a teenager, but she went she grew into a young adult there's suddenly a line on her neck where tanner skin starts. I tried downloading the sim blender, but i when i click on it, my mac says that i have no way to open the file. literally i've never modded before, i'm just so heckin annoyed by her face's different complexion that i'll pretty much try whatever just to get everything the same tone.
  • PS: I tried the cosmetic surgery machine, but i don't see any option for changing skin tone.
  • @ohjustmehere For that you'll need to use SimPE. The cosmetic surgery machine just changes facial features, like real life plastic surgery would.
