Macro-skill-dancing seems to happen naturally, though . . . as does macro-hobby-games

I agree wholeheartedly. Do macroclean on the kid so he cleans the whole house while I work... :D

Anyway, here is my random thought: My fiance gave me The Sims 1: Hot Date as an engagement present and in a little over a month we will have been married for 17 years. Smart man! He knew the way to my heart! :D

Oh no, not you! I was referring to the original post I quoted--the comment regarding how long it took the TS4 team to develop Seasons (compared to the development of TS2 Seasons). I should've clarified, my bad!

I won't, I've been drinking out of plastic cups since yesterday. And that's what I'm afraid of the most, so I hope they close up quickly without any incident.

I found ModTheSims2.com mentioned in Rolling Stone magazine (#995, March 9, 2006):

Finally set up my new gaming pc. In the process of setting up Sims 2 UC to work properly and just gotta say its been almost painless because of my lurking in this community and learning new things I would have had no idea I had to do (or not do!).

So far I've:

Fixed the stuck resolution problem
Fixed the neighborhood terrain problem
Fixed the greyed out smooth edges problem

Thankfully didn't have the shadows issue that I used to have to fix. Right now I guess I'm setting up my favorite neighborhood again and adding my favorite CC/downloads. (Am I missing anything? :P)

Once I get an actual full-time job again, I definitely need to donate to this site! I've been feeling kinda bad about that. It's so nice how active it still is seeing as its like a 15 year old game, haha.


edit: Oh yeah, should edit camera mod file thingy to see more of the neighborhood!

And add the 4GB patch; if needed, download a new copy of the CEP and the Scriptorium and install them too.

I've always kind of assumed that the fact that Sims only ever used a screwdriver when tinkering with or repairing electronics was just because EAxis needed a tool to animate around, and that was the most convenient option they already had designed.

As I'm building my computer, I'm realizing that, nope, you really do use a screwdriver to the exclusion of almost everything else in a project like that!

Thanks!

Is the 4gb patch a necessity? (Sorry I'm kinda bad with grammar so unsure if "if needed" referred to that) I very rarely have crash issues, even on my previous old as heck laptop that runs up to date Windows 10.

The "if needed" refers to the next part of the sentence. The semi-colon separates the two grammatical parts of that sentence. ESL teacher.

The 4GB patch can make the game take advantage of an extra 2GB of memory if you use a 64 bit OS.

Speaking of, I'm finally getting ready to install the 4GB patch. I backed up my Downloads, Neighborhoods, SC4Terrains, and SavedSims folder and I'm gonna attempt to do this (I haven't had any detrimental crashes since I started playing *knocks on wood* but better safe than sorry). Wish me luck.

EDIT: it worked! I had a mini heart attack at first because it was just a black screen for a good 45 seconds but then it loaded up as normal and I tested Sim State University. It loaded up much smoother than before, and my Logs says 4096MB for both Memory and Free memory :DDD. I followed the instructions of iCad's post for this updated patch. Works like a charm thus far; if not I still have my backups.

DOUBLE EDIT: also running the Compressorizer on all my Downloads sub-folder. My HoodDeco folder went down from 338MB to 138MB .

Very unusual review of the game. I liked this:

Quote:
Look, in truth, The Sims 2 is beyond grand, it’s beyond spectacular. It’s at times truly breathtaking, not bad for a game which came out the year Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook. Ultimately my only complaint, in so far as you could call it one is that the game, for all its brilliance, is pure evil.

It’s a game which would ultimately take a full human lifetime to play in its entirety, enjoying and seeing everything it has to offer. It’s a game man was not meant to play, stolen from the gods by Will Wright, the Prometheus of the gaming world. And so the core question in this review is as follows: If a game is so good at what it does, so immense and yet so playable that you could feasibly spend your entire life doing nothing else, is it a good game? Or is it a heinous atrocity, a crime against humanity that should be eradicated from the face of the earth before it can do anymore damage?

I don’t know the answers, but I think if I can get my sim’s logic skill up high enough he might be able to figure it out, so I’ll get back to you.


Why is one of the most awesomeness games called "pure evil"?
I think because if other games are immersed in their world, then Sims 2 immerses in the world that you yourself created. Only Sims 2. In Sims 3 and 4 you can't create own wold in game. And the game has so many secrets. This is completely a sandbox game.

LOL - good review. I think what they're saying is it's so good it crosses over good and comes back on the other side.

Which is true, of course.
I no longer come over to MTS very often but if you would like to ask me a question then you can find me on tumblr or my own site tflc. TFLC has an archive of all my CC downloads.

We've made it a sandbox game, and it is, truly spectacular.

Don't bother deleting the post - other people might find it helpful if they are trying the same thing.

Actually I already deleted it >.>. Only thing was that no one replied to that post I made; I posted an update of the situation about a week ago but I didn't get a response. But now that I got it I figured it'd be safe to delete it.

Listening to Welcome to Night Vale as I've been driving back and forth across the desert over and over, it occurs to me that there's very little in Night Vale that couldn't be rendered as a TS2 neighborhood... not even a particularly complicated one, at that. It'd have a lot in common with Strangetown, but you'd be able to make a pretty faithful recreation of it.
