hi, i just want to let everyone know, if any of you are frustrated with the state of TS4, i've compiled several different tutorials and made an all-in-one guide for playing TS2 on modern computers. it has all the fixes necessary to prevent crashes + pink flashing, and tips to make the game look just as nice as TS4, if not better!

please let me know if this guide is useful for you, or if anything needs to be changed/added/removed. i've tested it myself on multiple computers, and, while it works for me, there are many possibilities for error, considering that everyone's computer is different.

thank you for reading! i hope you like it :]

here’s some cute stuff I found in the Glamour Life manual, though naming Pleasantview as Pleasantville is a bit hmmm

lol okay I googled “bedazzled flip phone” with no other parameters and this was literally the third row of results

the only apparently legit source I could find was this Polish auction website that says (per Google Translate) “In connection with the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity, you could bid for a unique Nokia 6101 phone, studded with Swarovski crystals, from the unique The Sims 2 series.”
