Play Sims 2 Pleasantview in the Sims 4
For Sims 2 fans who struggle to get into the Sims 4, or for Sims 2 fans in general, listen up. Cindy of PleasantSims just released a save file that recreates the beloved neighborhood of Pleasantview in the Sims 4. The houses, community lots, playable families, and even townies/NPCs like Goopy GilsCarbo are recreated. All of the playable sims are recrafted in terms of their looks, personality, interfamily relationships, and lore. The recreation is so precise that even the starting family funds of households are reproduced to the exact simoleon. Check out the video: https://youtu.be/L42_s4UusvA?si=V4OsO0f0yjf19cV1
Is there a game limit to the number of homeless sims generated?
I have over 200 sims not living in any world, and the game is still generating more. This is besides the sims that came with each world, all the service sims, and all the sims I have made and placed in worlds. Will the game never stop generating new homeless sims? They are invariably poorly dressed, usually fat, usually with skin and hair color/style that is mismatched, and always named some odd combination of first and last name that never matches body/face type. They also almost always have multiple piercings on all sims and well over half the males have earring styles that are inappropriate. I am getting really tired of putting them all in CAS, fixing the problems, and saving them to my library so if I ever start a new game from scratch, I have all the homeless sims already fixed. Which is why I know how many I now have. The current number is 220. When starting this game, I made a point of sending my sims to every venue in the game, to purposefully generate all the homeless sims the game would need. But now that I am playing my sims in the normal way, it seems every venue they visit is still generating more new homeless. Is there a final number my game will reach of homeless sims? Or will my worlds continue to swell with an ever growing population of uglies I need to either fix or delete? Is there any mod that limits the number of homeless?
Cheat vampire weaknesses
I am currently playing a vampire. She just reached rank 4 which finally allows her to get the sun resistance power. But unfortunately she has to take up a thrid weakness as well, which I do not want. I know in the mccc cheats module it is possible to remove all weaknesses but that's not what I want. is there a way to get rid of 1 weakness and keep the other 2? In short is there a mod or a cheat code to add/remove one specific weakness? So far I only found cheat codes for vampire powers, not weaknesses.
(Growing Together) Trait swap for Jealous?
Does anyone know if you can swap the Jealous trait using Self Discovery? If so, what kind of things do you need to do it? One of my sims has Jealous but lately she's been a bit out of hand. She freaks out if her girlfriend so much as talks to another sim. I'm hoping to change the trait but the Retraiting Potion will remove all her Self Discovery bonus traits and CAS Full Edit Mode makes me nervous because of the major bug it had. I'm hoping there is a "natural" way for her to grow beyond her jealousy. ThanksTeleporting not working
Hey is anyone else having issues with teleporting when they shift click with "testingcheats true"? I have removed the mods I have installed and it still will not teleport my sims. Also, if you have a fix for this, please reply. To be clear, the teleport option does show up, it just doesn't actually teleport my sim.
How do you manage all your produce?
I use the ingredients for recipes but there’s still an excessive amount of produce. If I store too much in the fridge, it makes the menu so laggy when I click on it. It also clutters up the fridge with things that don’t need to be refrigerated and then it’s hard to see what I need when ordering groceries. I also think it’s weird that most produce doesn’t spoil, yet the Cottage Living stuff does, so I have to keep those in the fridge. We could really use a sort feature for the fridge inventory, I think. It doesn’t seem to organize things in any sensible order. Now I generally have one sim do the gardening and cooking who keeps all the produce in their inventory. But this can make the game lag, too. So I try to keep 10 +/- of each ingredient (then I select all of the stack and then deselect what I want to keep, then sell what’s left) but they accumulate so fast during their growing season. I noticed the nectar machine can pull ingredients from the refrigerator. I also noticed the new storage box that came with Horse Ranch and was disappointed the nectar machine didn’t pull from that. It would be nice to store all the produce in a chest like that but managing it manually is a pain. Now maybe it’s just me, but I think it would be great if produce didn’t stay fresh forever, because then I would have to use it or get rid of it faster. It’s weird how the Cottage Living produce can expire but the other produce lasts forever. There’s no incentive to can non-expiring things (managing those jars is another thing!) except it does stretch the ingredients out more which is something I don’t need because I’m overflowing with ingredients. How do you handle all this stuff? I’d be open to using mods that could help manage it. I searched for a mod that makes produce spoil but only found mods to keep food from spoiling.
Mannequins, a hack
It's my understanding that mannequins can only be used in stores owned by Sims after which you can select and dress them by entering into CAS. But wouldn't they be just as valuable as decoration in stores not owned by Sims? In shops in general? Does anyone know if theres a hack that would allow you to dress them no matter where they are?
