SIMS 2: My Essential Mods/CC
Hi everyone! I figured since I have been playing Sims 2 a lot lately, I'd provide my current essentials! Will update as I try more things, but this is valid as of February 1, 2024! ♥
Links for everything are under the cut! Found throughout MTS, Tumblr and other Sims Youtubers!
If any links don't work please let me know so I can try to find replacements!

AFTER INSTALLING SIMS 2 (Windows 10)
Sim Shadow Fix: Fixes that weird shadow box glitch!
Increase Resolution Fix: Have to go into the data files and alter some things to make it compatible for Windows 10!
NEIGHBORHOOD MODS
Seasons Icons In Color: Colors the Season Icons in gameplay and in neighborhood view!
Easy To Decorate Camera Mod: See more of the neighborhood map that you couldn't see before!
CAS MODS
Widescreen CAS Fix: Fixes the UI so your sim isn't covered! There's options for every resolution! (I use 1920x1080)
More CAS Columns: Adds more Columns in CAS! Just like in TS4!
Evie's Equal Genetics: Equal chance for offspring to receive dominant and recessive genes!
5 Custom Genetics Haircolors: Custom recolors for the Maxis hairs! Chocolate (Brown+Black), Sandy (Brown+Blonde), Icy (White Blonde), Auburn (Brown+Red) and Caramel (Brown+Red+Blonde)!
BUILD & BUY MODS
Sim Blender: The holy grail of Sims 2 Mods. Can do anything with this!
ACR: Sims autonomously Woohoo, Try for Baby, Get into Relationships, etc! Great for drama & storytelling!
OFB Shelf Recolors: Beautiful wood recolors for the OFB Shelves! (The OG's were kinda ugly lmfao)
Stay Things Shrub: Choose which items stay after a sim moves out!
Monique's Hacked Computer: Pay bills, Order clothing, etc!
Object Rotator: Rotate objects on an angle! Small, Large and End Tables!
Lifetime Want Chooser: Pick your sims LTW!
LIFESPAN MODS
1 Day = 1 Year (Sims): As the title says! More realistic as I consider 1 sim day a year!
1 Day = 1 Year (Pets): Same as the Sim version, but for pets!
UNIVERSITY MODS
Uni After Birthday Party: Teens can throw a birthday party and before blowing out candles, the game asks if you'd like to go to college first!
Semester Changes: College is now 8 days instead of 24!
Faster Uni Education: 24-48 Hour semesters!
There Can Only Be One Professor: 2 per major seemed much, so I like this one! Generates less NPC's for me :D
Doctors Need Degrees: Depending on your sims education/grades, they can either be stuck at career level 1 or 10!
GAMEPLAY MODS
No 20K Handouts: As it says :) Now my sims aren't wealthy!
Extended Family Treated As Family: Always hated it when second cousins could marry. This prevents it :)
Community Time Project: Time spent on community lot matches with time at the home!
Memory Manipulator: Hide/adjust Sims memories without using SimPE
Break Up Via Phone: End a relationship over the phone! (Going Steady, Marriage, Engagement)
50 New Lifetime Wants: Adds new LTW's to the game!
OFB Adopt Teen&Townie: Adopt Babies-Teens!
PREGNANCY MODS
Shorter Pet Pregnancy: Pets give birth within 1 sim day! The default seemed way too long, so this is a must :)
PregRel NL+: Can't find original post so I can't remember what it does, but I found a secondary version below!
PregRel Compatibility Patch: Negative reactions to baby bumps if your significant other suspects cheating!
Alternate Pregnancy Controller Lite: Possibility of your sims getting a miscarriage (Only had it happen once so far!)
Triplets & Quads: Allows up to 4 babies to be born at once!
DEATH MODS
Death By Childbirth: Morbid, but I like this for storytelling!
Select Your Cemetery: When your sim lives alone and dies, a prompt shows up to move the tombstone to any lot! Now you don't have to cram the younger generations in your home ♥
MISC MODS/HACKS
Last Name Copier: Edit/Change a Sims last name without using SimPE!
Baby Pet Creator: Create a puppy/kitten with stray genetics!
CJ Smart EP Checker: Does nothing, but it is required if you use any of Cyjon's mods!
TS1 Prank Calls: Get the same funny and scary prank calls from Sims 1!
BONUS & EXTRAS
The Christian Collection: On a MTS forum post, (look for Liv Lukas's post) but ChristianLov's mods are no longer able to be found separately. This is also linked where I put the Baby Pet Creator!
Sims 2 Store Content: I only use the extra cars in my game, but there's loads of new stuff!
TOOLS
SimPE: Edit ages, relationships, memories, family trees, etc!
Sims2Pack Clean Installer: Used to install new lots and sims into your game!
Mootilda's Hood Checker: Check any custom neighborhoods for corruption!
Bat Box (FFS Lot Debugger): Similar to the Sim Blender. Here's the Vase version!
