Forum Discussion
There are a few mods I have to play with to make the game flow better.
For me they are:
Some programs I HAVE to have in every install:
graphicsrulesmaker, CEP, multisims2pack extract, sims2packclean installer and sometimes i'll install homecrafterplus if there is a sims 4 floor I want to convert to sims 2.
Things I usually stay away from:
Hair, clothing, skin-tones, make-up and pretty much anything bodyshop. Back in the day it was a tragic nightmare in my downloads folder, but today I am too spoiled and real picky. If it's not high quality, i'll pass. The conversions are usually pretty nice though like the dresses with sentate heels and such. But I download clothing slowly because if you see a dress you want one or two colors in, you'll have to find them in like 20 options and I'm just too lazy for that.
Clothes and hair are tricky finds. I have to make sure the clothes don't look painted on, the hair doesn't look like straw or odd sitting on the sim's head. If you take your time in this area though, you can get a solid high quality collection you're proud of. No disrespect to any creators, sims 2 wasn't as easy as sims 4 to create for.
Many links to sims 2 content lead to inappropriate sites or viruses (edit: due to being an old link now) so I'd tread carefully and stick to well known sites. I also second that simlogical site metioned above from @leefish, it's one I visit regular to make simming in sims 2 easier.
If you were looking for ideas, hope this helped.
For me they are:
- windkeeper's mailbox, just the mesh
- no salute (stops them from saluting when they greet guests)
- 1 tile computer desks from honeywell (MTS) and a few other stuff from this person
- no playable shoppers mod
- Veranka's 4to2 easel set for Darren Dreamer - the entire attic in the Goth home gets dedicated as his work space =)
- sometimes 'perfect garden' mod or the 'perfect plants'
- 3to2 fences/gates
- that lipstick set over at MTS that looks natural on all color tones (forgot what it's called but it's marked as a top item easily found)
- bruno just shadow (MTS) or any make-up really that looks natural on sims instead of plastered
- Global Mod - Enable Rent Furnished Apt.
- simswardrobe before it closed: 1 tile pet beds, robot recharging station, and arcade machines with videos for them (just a few)
- 3to2 Country Living set - blends in nicely with the furniture set that came with Seasons and I love using it for my families.
- invisible driveway
- Marvine's animated ladder
- a few "no autonomous" mods like with the diary, baby swarming, pet obsession, jumping on bed for kids, etc. things that they do so often it becomes disruptive or dangerous for them (ex: kids jumping on bed and getting over heated causing social worker to show up and take them away lol).
- speaking of... if I can remember, I will sometimes have the no social worker mod installed. Kid out playing in the snow? Ok then. Jumping on the bed? Ok. Worth it.
- no relationship decay mod - highly recommend! There are other things to do besides make friends for the sake of promotions!
- no witch at community lots
- no red pause line, makes for better screenshots and I take a LOT
- simnopke 20 facial sliders MTS
- I'm a sucker for electronics, appliances, landscaping, cc free (medium sized) lots labeled clean meaning no sims have been in it (I think lol).
