Build all the women you want in CAS, then turn half of them into guys.

Hunt for sims online. Ditto houses. There's lots of both available for upload.

Oh my last post on here? My wifi dongle works now! Yay!
Also, full neighborhood modding looks to be in the consideration progress. Stuff like INSERT UNSERNAME does to his 1984-esque world. Yet I'm thinking 1890s neighborhood.
Ouch, this is going to be hard.

Lost all of my CC for Sims 2 and had to restart all my neighborhoods because I had a few items that couldn't be deleted without the game imploding. Time to plan out a new neighborhood idea. .-.
Anyways as a side note, redownloading CC for Sims 2 made me wish CAS had the same option for recolors and Sims 4 where the different colors of the same clothes item stack. I have to decide if it's worth it downloading the recolors of the same object when it will take me forever to scroll through all of the pages.

Random thought: I think Sims 2 is the greatest PC game ever made (with the exception of Sims 4 I've played every iteration) and the best of the Sims. However, that doesn't mean someone else can't feel the same way about Sim 3, Sims 4 or even Sims 1.

"Wow, Belladonna Cove's Flythrough video looks so much smoother compared to the BG hoods..."
"Why do all the pretty houses have to be all-EP-and-SP only or pumped full of CC?"
"I'll never forgive myself for not taking up on the UC deal." (I didn't know about the I-LOVE-THE-SIMS code until it was too late.)
"Oh, so 8.1 can't render high-quality indoor sim shadows, but 8 can? WTF?"

Apparently they still give it out, as long as you whine at the tech support people enough...

Actually, Peni, you've just solved the puzzle. Macs DO have BV -- it's the very last EP that was ported over. Therefore, it must be BV that causes those particular types of kisses. Teamwork -- yay!

An argument is not a fight, and I certainly don't have anything about people having different preferences. In my hood lightning has struck with proper might and it looks like half of the townies have turned into coal. (Looks funny, every second Sim turning up at the bar a lightning victim ) No deaths, fortunately.

All the mods and cc I put in Widespot Only Folder are the same as in Megahood Folder. Except I left out a ton of clothes, furniture, etc. But there is nothing in WO that isn't in MH. So why does the love bed (from Apartment Life) in WO have blue bedding only, instead of the normal three colors, while in MH it has the normal three? So far as I know I don't have anything that touches that bedding in any way, shape, or form, and the few custom beddings in WO are all in MH, plus a bunch more.
Custom Content is weird. I'm not trying to fix this: that would require more motivation than I have for one item that maybe two sims, at most, would use. But why would it happen at all?

"Cedar Hollow now has a bowling alley! Even if it does look like a big ol' box!" I am not the best builder, but oh well. I wanted a bowling alley, so I built one!
And,
"Am I ready to have Ana turn on Servo? Wait, no. Everything has to be *perfect*!" I don't think I've ever put this much thought into setting up a hood before I officially "begin" my primary family's story (which begins with Ana activating Servo).

The Mann family tree in my Widespot is now worse-tangled than the Curious/Smith one. Just...don't ask.

Really? I was advised to get W8.1 instead of 7. I finally get used to no shadows under sims but I'm envious to those who get them.
I wish I could play more but I need to clean my flat.
I'm thinking about starting a new hood. I'm still debating.

If you insult my Sims, they may very well come out of the game, come out of my computer, and come and poke you. And I must warn you that some of them have lots of Body points and a very short fuse. But that's up to them. For my part, you can post whatever you like in this thread, and I won't delete it!

ahhh.....so if I don't invite 20 sims to a wedding, plus the 10 that already live on the lot, plus the 3 sim the teens brought home from school my game won't crash! yah!
hmmm which hood shall I play next....Tubman Dunes or Empteton. There's Aaron and Katrina's wedding in Empteton or Romana's endless cheating on Mr. Big??? Endless cheating of course-- wait they have triplets. Screw it I'll just delete some CC instead.

My computer stopped working and I'm praying to the plumbbob that it can be fixed with everything on it intact. My dear sims is one of the things I'm most worried about. I mean, of course I made backups in case the game would crash - on the computer. It never occured to me that the computer itself would crash. Silly, silly Kligma. Worst case scenario, I still have the files I started with this time around, so the families themselves still exist in a safe place, but then there's the progress I've made this time around, and the three sims that were born on the damaged computer. Ah, hang in there, my darlings. Hang in there.

I feel your pain Kligma. I've been there, and I was devastated. It's very upsetting, even if non-simmers might find that weird. I got mine back and I sincerely hope you do too

I understand Kilgma's pain, too. My old hard drive died, and while it was dying, I was most panicked about losing my Sims. That, and I was disappointed that my 'drive chose to die right at the start of Thanksgiving break. I did retrieve my Sims, though.

I see someone disagrees with my post above (#67) where I promised never to delete this thread.
What's that "Disagree" supposed to mean? That they don't believe my promise? Or that they hate the thread so much that they think I ought to delete it?
Well, Ms/Mr Disagreeable, I'm sorry. I'm NOT going to delete the thread. And you disagreeing with me isn't going to change my mind!
