How to build a walkout basement in The Sims 2 🌼
I didn't think of this when I was making the video, but if you use the flowers I used, sims won't be able to water them without the water inaccessible flowers fix
Another option is to use the perfect plants mod
You can also use custom flowers that don't need watering, I recommend these & these

Pink Soup Tip
hello gang. it's me. the guy who stopped playing because pink flashing on my nice gaming laptop made this thing unplayable (we're talking pink flash immediately upon loading a small lot). i've somehow stumbled my way into fixing it(?)
tldr; have you tried using Legacy's Graphics Rules.sgr file instead of using GRM?
that reddit is the only place i've seen anyone mentioning it, and after deleting my custom-tailored GRM and replacing it with legacy's EA-built version i literally don't have pink flashing anymore. i didn't edit it in any way but i removed dxvk (which overwrites your graphics card settings and hasn't helped prior anyway) and i use the RPC launcher's no visualization mod (which doesn't help me with pink flash--it's just better on the eyes) and somehow i'm able to load and play lots without any pink.
other optimizations i've done afterwards that have further improved my performance:
forcing my laptop to always use Nvidia GPU
forcing Nvidia to use max settings (direct link to the mentioned MTS thread)
being selective with shaders. personally my laptop doesn't like Shader Fixes in combination with whatever else i have kicking (probably user error on my part for having conflicting shaders, but (personally) i like blue snow so i haven't done extensive testing to make it work). LD has his own version bundled with Lot Lighting Fix (but unfortunately it doesn't play with my lighting mod so I don't use it, but the option's there.)
i know this isn't a revolutionary post, but as a guy who tried literally and i mean LITERALLY EVERYTHING to stop pink soup, the Legacy GR was a very unexpected small fix. i haven't updated my drivers or anything--but after using that and forcing Nvidia to use good settings, i've been able to use max settings, shadows, shaders, and load every lot on the same session with hundreds of objects. i don't want to jinx it but maybe you should try it.

my specs for reference: 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-11800H @ 2.30GHz 2.30 GHz Installed RAM 16.0 GB (15.8 GB usable) NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU

This bug has now been fixed, link in the comments of this post:

Has anyone seen this bug before? The Chickenfeed Charlie Sculpture of Fun is turning into the Kozy Kitsch Garden Gnome when picked up. Is this possible to fix?
