How to play TS2 with Longer Days (50% Slower Time) without going crazy

I don't think I've ever mentioned it here, but I like to play TS2 in a slow mode, to enjoy more time with my sims. This means time runs 50% slower (heavily inspired by @anibats).

But anyone who has tried playing with time at 50% slower knows there are 3 main problems: (1) time control clock in every lot, (2) need decay and (3) relatioship decay. So how do you get around this?

1. Time 50% slower

For me, the first issue is making the day slower. I'm too lazy to place a time control clock in every single household. That's why I use CJH_TimeController, the global version of the mod, that you can download here.

2. Need decay

Now that your day is 50% slower, your Sims' needs decay at the normal rate—meaning, effectively 50% faster. To prevent that, I use Lazy Duchess Motive Decay mod. You set a divider for the hood (mine is 17), and that's it! You can delete the flamingo (mod setup) and never worry about it again. Obs: this link contains the relativity mod. It would solve all our problems, but personally it never worked for me, with it the pregnancies didn't progress.

3. Relantionship decay

In an unmodded game, a Sim's relationship with another Sim drops by 2 points every afternoon. However, with longer days, the relationship drops much more—up to 12 points. Here are two alternatives:

a. For me, the solution is a mod where relationship decay only happens once a week, dropping 12 points all at once. This mod is LessRelDecay, which makes relationships decay only on Fridays.

b. Other alternative is Monique's Relationship (STR) Decay Hack. With this mod, decay is based on STR points and skips some days depending on the relationship strength. However, the total decay will still be 12 points instead of the intended 2.

Other useful mods:

Slower fitness decay

Slower fitness gain

Slower Skill and Badge Gain

Slower LTA Gain

Mods that would be very useful, but that I don't know if exists:

Slower/harder hobby enthusiasm gain (I'm aware of the mod by Tunaisafish, but I don’t notice a difference in-game)

If anyone has any more tips, please, let me know <3

YOUR VISITOR CONTROLLER MIGHT NEED SURGERY

Hello out there!!! If you use Visitor Controller mod for the Sims 2, it might be broken. I am not sure exactly which version I have ... Midge's that allows togas or the older CrispandKerosene's version with personality options.

The personality settings may be broken because I looked at my file today and sure enough, the BHAVs are not referencing personality properly.

Go into the BHAV "Check Personality Flags" inside Visitor Controller in SimPe.

It should look like this:

The highlighted node should not reference any other value but a number higher than 100.

If you see this:

Then it is broken. Personality has to be referenced in hundreds!

You must change it with the Instruction Wizard which is on the right hand side of Plugin view to make Personality features work, as in banning Lazy Sims from a gym.

The first image shows that Sims with a Neat personality lower than 400, which is 0x0190 in hexadecimal, will be banned from the lot.

Repeat for the other personalities lower in the code.

HAPPY SIMMING!!!!

Also, if anyone is interested in a tutorial for adding custom careers to Visitor Controller, let me know!

How to get rid of pre-made Sims completely

Would you like to create a neighborhood, but without Kaylynn Langerak, Benjamin Long, pre-made social group Sims etc.? Or maybe you'd like to get rid of the generic Family Bin Sims before you start a brand new Pleasantview? This tutorial will show you how to disable generating pre-made Sims of certain categories and let the game generate new ones in their place. Pick and choose!

This will only work in a freshly loaded neighborhood! If the game has already loaded all the Sims in your Documents folder, do NOT delete their character files!!!

If you wipe these folders off character files, these Sims will never reappear in any of your newly loaded neighborhoods. They will come back after you reinstall the game. So back up the folders just in case! BUT if you lose the backup, you can download these Sims/families as subhoods here. The subhood can be deleted right after adding it and the Sims will remain in the Family Bin.

How does the game generate these Sims? They are located in the game installation files, in a particular DLC's folder. When you first launch a neighborhood, you can see loading screens of Pets, Weather, Magic... this is when the game imports these Sims into the neighborhood folder in Documents. Most of them are called "stealth hoods", but you can also clean out visible neighborhoods and have them completely empty, buildings only.

You can download empty stealth hoods on ModTheSims. They are folders with deleted character files, so if you feel safer downloading and replacing folders like that, go ahead! But stealth hoods are not all that you can clean out. Subhoods also have clean versions, so if your only problem is a Sim's broken face template – no need to pre-delete all Sims, just get the clean version!

All folder paths are the defaults. If you have your game in a custom folder, I assume you know where it is. If you don't have the Ultimate Collection, the folders may look different, so I'll give you directions on which DLC we're talking about, as it's actually easier to navigate them if you have the Legacy Collection or disks.

Basic townies and service Sims The townies and NPCs from Pleasantview that generate in every custom neighborhood. These include Kaylynn Langerak and Benjamin Long mentioned at the beginning. You can pre-delete them in: C:\Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Double Deluxe\Base\TSData\Res\UserData\Neighborhoods\N001\Characters So in Pleasantview's game files directory. Go into the "Characters" folder and delete all files. The folder must remain empty. Note: This deletes ALL Pleasantview Sims, so if you load Pleasantview AFTER doing this, there will be NO SIMS, even playables! Doesn't affect an already launched Pleasantview.

Strays, adoption pool pets and the Roseland family Pets EP. If you want completely fresh strays and pets to adopt, delete all files in the "Characters" folder here: C:\Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\EP4\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate\P001\Characters Now, if you call the Pet Adoption Center, your game might freeze for a minute because it will be generating a lot of pets. For puppies/kittens to appear in the pool, it needs to generate strays first, as baby pets are made with strays' DNA.

Ottomas, Ramaswami and Garden Club Sims Seasons EP. Delete all files in the "Characters" folder here: C:\Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Seasons\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate\G002\Characters

The Traveller family Bon Voyage EP. Delete all files in the "Characters" folder here: C:\Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Bon Voyage\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate\V001\Characters

Picaso, Cooke and hobby instructors If you don't have the hobby instructors disabled with a mod. Free Time EP. Delete all files in the "Characters" folder here: C:\Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Free Time\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate\F002\Characters

Newson, Goodie, Gavigan and pre-made witches Apartment Life EP. Delete all files in the "Characters" folder here: C:\Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Apartment Life\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate\E002\Characters

Cleaning folders of the Pets, Seasons, Bon Voyage, Free Time and Apartment Life expansion packs = NO FAMILIES in the Family Bin! Except of course the ones that belong in a neighborhood, such as the Burbs in Pleasantview. Cleaning all folders mentioned above will result in an empty "Characters" folder in a freshly made custom neighborhood. So now you can make all Sims from scratch. To prevent the game from randomly generating townies and strays, you'll need a few mods: NoTownieRegen (find on the list) NoStrayRespawnNoDormieRegen I also recommend Anti-Redundancy

You can also have:

Pre-made universities with NO pre-made Sims Dorms, houses, university buildings... but with no students. University EP. Delete all files in the "Characters" folders here: C:\Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\University Life\EP1\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate U001 – Sim State University. Wiping this folder off character files will prevent the game from importing generic Sims (dormies, mascots, professors) in a custom university neighborhood. It's a college equivalent of Pleasantview. I also recommend getting the One Professor mod. U002 – La Fiesta Tech. U003 – Academie Le Tour.

Pre-made Downtown with NO pre-made Sims Nightlife EP. Delete all files in the "Characters" folder here: C:\Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Double Deluxe\EP2\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate\D001\Characters

Bluewater Village with NO pre-made Sims When you love the hood, but not the Landgraab. Open for Business EP. Delete all files in the "Characters" folder here: C:\Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Best of Business\EP3\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate\B001\Characters

Vacation destinations with NO pre-made Sims Bon Voyage EP. Delete all files in the "Characters" folders here: C:\Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Bon Voyage\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate A001 – Takemizu Village. M001 – Three Lakes. T001 – Twikkii Island.

I hope it's useful! Happy Simming!

Quick GUID Checker for Sims 2

This is an expansion on @picknmixsims Microsoft Excel sheet available here. It is a table I made that is incredibly lazy but effective and quick at searching for searching for Maxis GUID conflicts when you create new GUIDs. It's a little easier to use since the GUID Database has been down for a long time and you can add your own GUIDs onto the list and update the formula if you're savvy enough in Excel.

Part 2 out of my Custom Neighborhood series! You can find my video here! You can view my Neighborhood Templates video here!

Guidelines I follow as well as any helpful links to some name generators will be under the cut! ♥

Starting a new Neighborhood can be tough! Where do you even start? Well, this written guide and video above is here to help you get started!

STEP 1: Creating/Choosing a Template - If you want to start from COMPLETELY SCRATCH, open up SimCity 4 and create your own map! - If that's too difficult or you just don't want to (like me!), you can download maps off ModTheSims or use the ones already provided in-game for you! :)

STEP 2: Naming Your Neighborhood/Lots - Take inspiration from real life! - Generators also help A TONNN! Below I linked the ones I like most! Feel free to mix and match them to come up with more unique combinations!

Fantasy Name Generators (Town Names) Mithril And Mages - City Names Sims 2 Name Generator

STEP 3: Lot Planning - Personally, I like to keep Community Lots/Apartments near the center of the map, and Residential homes around the sides/edges - Decide if you want just Small, Medium and/or Large lots in your neighborhood! - Place them around the map to figure out a layout until you are satisfied!

STEP 4: Choosing Your Community Lots - Main Hood Essentials: Cemetery, Restaurant, Park, Clothing Store, Grocery Store - University Essentials: Library, Town Hall, Lounge, Gym - Shopping District Essentials: Everything you can imagine! I also like to leave space for Sims to own their own businesses! I tend to use Shopping Districts as Secondary-Main Neighborhoods! - Downtown Essentials: Bowling Alley, Bar, Restaurant, Cemetery - Vacation Essentials: Hotels, Parks, Landmarks After I have the essentials, I fill in the gaps with whatever I want! Like I added a Car Dealership in my main neighborhood as well as a Cosmetic Surgery clinic! I also added a Train Station in my University!

The Mithril and Mages link above is great to come up with names and business ideas too!

STEP 5: Decorating Your 'Hood - I do this overtime! I don't think there's ever been a time where I've stopped decorating! Start by placing some trees or the flower decorations around the empty lots you placed!

STEP 6: Neighborhood/Lot Descriptions - Personally the hardest thing about Custom Neighborhoods! The good thing though is these can be left blank and nobody would know! - My best advice is to wait until most of the 'hood is built up, and then come with some descriptions! - Photoshopping the pictures like EA/Maxis will create beautiful pictures for the Neighborhood Stories album! (This is another post for another time)

STEP 7: The Families - Can't have a complete neighborhood without Sims and Families! - Use the Random Aspect Generator to come up with various Personalities for your Sims! - If you forgot to use a Clean Template (No Townies), I found a mod that will change up their names! - Take inspiration from TV Shows or the other Sims games! I always tend to recreate the Broke Family's storyline and Malcolm Landgraab's storyline with 2 families in my neighborhoods! (I like having a Rich and a Poor family lmao)

Creating new neighborhoods is always so much fun! I hope some of these guidelines help you get inspired!

My brain's enrichment is my quest to mod any game I have cuz I'm bad at figuring things out at first and it took me 1 hour tryna get my sims 2 modded and I was lowkey losing my mind a lil.

[heathensimmer]

Also, something that is not mentioned in this tutorial (likely because Blueybre recently discovered it and put it in Mod the Sims tutorials: the page for TTABS) is that when you try to adjust motive advertising for objects, the fields are switched.

In SimPe it reads “Min” “Delta” and “Type”.

The game reads “Type” “Min” “Delta”

So basically, your “Min” field should be the personality type!!

Tutorial Time!

This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while. An exchange on the MTS forums kicked me into gear, so…Here it is.

As you may or may not be aware, I have a habit of screwing around with the autonomy and motive advertising attached to objects, Maxis and otherwise. I could share everything I do, but ultimately preferences in regards to this sort of thing are highly individual, so you’re really best off doing this sort of thing yourself, to suit your own playing preferences and likes/dislikes and all that. To that end, I figured that I would write up a tutorial that people could use to set things up as they want, fixing/adjusting things that personally annoy them.

This is for TS2 only, and SimPE is required. But don’t worry. This is actually an easy thing to do, and I’ve been pretty detailed so as to make this accessible to anyone who can install SimPE. (Sorry, Mac users, but maybe you can con a Windows-using friend into doing it for you. :) ) You don’t have to mess with meshes or textures or BCONs/BHAVs or anything scary like that. All you have to do is check (or uncheck) some checkboxes and fiddle around with some numbers. In the case of Maxis objects, the hardest part – and it’s really not very hard – is getting access to the numbers you need to fiddle with.

Before you begin, know that if you are adding/adjusting advertising for an item, it will require some testing and further fiddling with numbers until you get the levels where you want them to be. This will mean repeatedly going in and out of the game, unless you get it exactly right the first time. So, you’re best off doing this process in a no-CC environment, either via AnyGame Starter or by temporarily removing your Downloads folder or by setting up a separate user account on your computer with a no-CC setup in that user account’s Documents folder. That way, your game will load quickly and you’ll not be frustrated by load times during your testing process. So…Off we go…

You would think that because I graduated in something tech related that I would be good with tech and internet but nope, I am very good at modding the sims tho

[heathensimmer]

hi!! do you take ideas/requests for trait mods? i've been trying to add a trait check for midgethetree's cops/pros fight burglars so sims with the can apprehend burglar and brave traits can fight them too, but sadly i'm not that much knowledgeable in modding and everytime i tested my edit it resulted in a Stack number out of range error, so eventually i gave up. if not, that's ok!! i'm looking forward for more of your mods anyway, thanks for your work!!

Hello fellow Sims 2 modder! Here are some pics. Do your attempts look something like this? This is untested, but I do not see a reason why this wouldn't work UNLESS ... "My neighbor ID" needs to be changed to "My object ID". I am not sure of why yet, I know the difference between the two from online descriptions but there seem to be other nuances at play.

Anyways, here is the Instruction Wizard for the only line of code needed.

I used the global BHAV "Easy Inventory Check" by @hexagonal-bipyramid to check for the trait "Can Apprehend Burglars" by @lilbabydilljr that has the GUID of 0x0087BB78. I used this little pop-up shown above because it is super handy and better than typing numbers in the operands manually - it can be found to the RIGHT of the OPERAND BOXES, which are the sixteen boxes to the right in the above image. Two rows of 8. Where "Object ID" and "Neighbor ID" comes in not where the GUID is in the pop-up, but the Sim that we are referencing, which is the top option of the Instruction Wizard where it says "My person Data" and then "neighbor ID"

Neighbor ID might have to be changed to "My" on the left and then "Object ID' on the right. Why? I don't really know but it's worked for me before.

The code is shown here. See all those JOB GUID checks? That is Midge checking to see if the Sim that you want to fight the burglar currently has any of those jobs with the selected GUIDS. I just added a trait check.

If the Sim has the "Can Apprehend Burglars" trait, notice how the highlighted line of code goes to 2 if its true!

Just like the job checks, if the Sim has the current trait or job, then we go to line "2" and the code finishes out by allowing the Sim to fight the Burglar. If the Sim DOESN'T have the trait, i.e, the highlighted code returns false, then the whole entire BHAV returns false and the code is done!

Is there a way to spawn burglars so I can test this? Mailbox, right?

The Sims 4 Main Menu Inspired by The Sims 2

I made an override for the newly refreshed main menu in TS4. The last played family shown as you open the game made me think of loading screen in The Sims 2, so i thought, why not?

The backgroud is heavily inspired by Sims 2 loading screen. I made the art myself and used the icons from The Sims 4, to match the game's aesthetic. The override only changes the background image in main menu.

Here are the screenshots of the home and store backgrounds:

This is the first time I made a CC to The Sims (and finished it) and tbh I have no idea if I did it right lmao, but at least I'm proud of myself.

Special thanks to:

amethystamanda for making a tutorial on how to make your own main menu background

TheSimKid for Sims 4 icons I used for the background

DOWNLOAD

28/01/2025 UPDATE

After latest update, the game started using backgrounds that are images downloaded via internet connection. They replace the default image or any main menu override.

However! LunarBritney made a MOD THAT DISABLES ONLINE BACKGROUNDS.

It will NOT conflict with my main menu override. I recommend downloading it!
