Sims 2: Editing an existing Sim

@ohjustmehere For that you'll need to use SimPE. The cosmetic surgery machine just changes facial features, like real life plastic surgery would.

PS: I tried the cosmetic surgery machine, but i don't see any option for changing skin tone.

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.

@RhiaSim There was no editincas cheat with Sims 2. I think you're confusing Sims 2 with Sims 3 or possibly even Sims 4.

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.

p.s.: what do I do once I found it?

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 :)

The easiest thing to do if you just want to make some appearance changes is "UnlockCareerRewards" and grab Dr. Vu's plastic surgery machine. Then "Aspiration Level 5", which will guarantee a good result with the machine. I do it all the time and was glad when they added plastic surgery into Sims 3. I prefer in game stuff to mods or cheats when possible.

@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.

I just wanted to put a little more information up for you. Yes you can use the simblender to change appearances of Sims it is an extremely useful tool I love it...but you have to remember if you change anything with your Sim it doesn't genetically get passed on for example: If your Sim originally had a big nose and tiny lips even though you've changed them to smaller nose and plump lips any children they have will inherit the big nose and small lips. In order to make new changes pass down threw generations you have to use SimPE and it can get pretty difficult. I can't remember all if it exactly but I know you have to make the Second face their default face and commit the changes. Sometimes messing around in SimPE can mess up your game too so I always make a backup of the neighborhood before making changes.
Your picture is really cute I love the cuddling in the morning before getting out of bed. There was so much to that game it was amazing. Wish they would have kept a large portion of it and just added things for Sims 3 and 4...why change what wasn't broken? People loved Sims 2 they just wanted open neighborhoods hehe.
I really miss the personality points. Sloppy vs. Neat and Active vs. Lazy...Of course we have traits now in Sims 3 and 4 but I always loved how sloppy Sims would chow and scarf down their food while neat Sims took one bite at a time...Sims 3 and 4 everyone eats the same. :\
