    i really wish there was a catalog mod that makes a icon that takes up the space between the pets and misc categories, then emulates the buy mode categories panel, and migrates all the custom content to that emulated panel. i hate how the catalog gets horrendously cluttered with random bits from cc sets, and it's also a PITA to make a collection file if one wasn't included and recategorize everything manually to only show in a collection.

    The video was nice, thanks for sharing <3 I was wondering if there's a mod that lets you track your Sim stats (like the stat panel that's actually in ts4). For example, how many days have you played on a lot, how many lovers, bffs or enemies does your Sim have, how much money have they earned in their entire life... It would make it easier to fulfill some wants

    Wow,! Thanks again, BellaDovah! I really have enjoyed these showcases. I can get overwhelmed when reading mod pages so seeing you try the mods in game ready helps. Just want to add that when I put Jacky 93's Functional Bouncy Castles on a lot for a birthday party, the Sims were bugging out when they pick up a plane of food. What's Caused This? showed it to be the bouncy castles. Maybe don't put in out when the Sims need to eat, all maybe one of my other mods was clashing with it.

    47:06 those baby bottles are just so cute so I had to download them!! I also grabbed the cowplant mod at 14:42 (as well as cowplant milk cures zombieism), the popcorn machine at 52:03, and the nails overlay at 54:28 (and some PlatinumAspiration ones cos they had all genders child to elder ones too!) thank you for doing these BellaDovah I really appreciate the time and effort it takes to not only make this video but finding the mods/cc to showcase, testing them for us and showing us how they play in game and are used etc I have a question about the CAS Makeup Lag Fix by Lazy Duchess at 59:17 , I have no idea where to put the files for the ultimate collection, if anyone can walk me through it that would be a great help! tysm I assumed for UC it would be " C:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSBin " but it didn't let me load the game and spat out sims 2 exception error text files in the same location

      So glad I was able to help you find some awesome additions for your downloads folder!😊 You're very welcome! I actually made a mistake by installing both of those baby bottles at the same time, you're only supposed to use one, and the textures actually got a bit squashed as I had them both in, so they'll look even better with which ever one you choose! The CAS Makeup Lag Fix was easy for me because I use the RPC launcher which I highly recommend, and then you just put the .asi into the mods folder in your TSBin you get with it. However, if you don't have the launcher then you do need to put both files in that location, however you need a no-CD/EAapp version of the executable like this: files.fm/u/suyczxza you just make a backup of your original Sims2EP9.exe and replace it with that one.

      @@suepixels The ‘crack’ is simply to bypass requirements for either CDs or the EA App, but its not like you’re downloading an entirely different version to the official Ultimate Collection, everything is the same as what you install from the EA App you just replace that one exe file so that you can use RPC and therefore then launch the game with RPC instead of going through the EA App. Of course you don’t have to use RPC but there’s literally no negatives of it and a whole bunch of benefits.

I like playing as "not the Dragonborn" so anything that helps with that is a +, like alternate start. I play it like the Sims I guess same as every game 😆 it's all just RP. Anyway, as for the Sims 2 about the only thing that annoys me is stuff like Sims washing their dishes in the bathroom sink or if you get them to read the newspaper but then want them to do a crossword as well, they'll place it down on the floor after reading and pick it back up again for the crossword ugh. Little things like that. That can be solved by taking away free will but that's also slightly annoying. I wish there was a nice balanced version of free will because full free will is just pure frustration having to pause every 2 seconds and no free will means the Sim won't even go to the bathroom when they're desperate. 👀

    I really loved this video and i added a few things to my userStartup as well! Thank you so much for this and here are some tips and tricks of my own: the way familyfunds works is that it will work on multiple families of the same name but it wil only affect the family that was last played. For example with the goth family that consists of cassie and don and then the other goth family consisting of Morty and Dina and Alexander. If i last played don and cassie, the family funds will work on that family, not the other one. As for the loadlot cheat it actually can be used in the game shortcut proprieties in the target section press space and u can write stuff such as -load:"N001;165 Sim Lane" which will load the goth household or even -load:"N001;CAS!" which will skip the main menu and load cas in pleasantview. Note that unlike in game this cheat in the game properties will not work with subhoods. If you want to reset everything u can still use the batbox with cheats on and u dont have to click u can just hold down esc on the keyboard

    There's actually quite a few cheats in here i never knew but def will now, especially your tip with the quarter tile placement. I havent seen anyone else mention these tips i know but i thought I'd share. If while typing a cheat you hit "tab" it will cycle between the cheats starting with what you typed. Example, typing just "m" then hitting tab will go from "maxMotives" and hitting tab again will go to the next cheat that starts with m, or typing "mov" then hitting tab will automatically finish with "moveObjects" then you just have to type on or off. This also works though with aliases! For for your zoning alias you could probably just type "z" hit tab and cycle through til you get the zoning you want. Also instead typing "x" to close the expanded cheat window, you can also hit "~" and it will close and open it. Sometimes i personally open it because it allows you to enter multiple cheats at a time rather than constantly having to hit ctrl shift c but most times it is closed lol (Quick edit bc I remembered: the tab tip will not work if you're typing a "boolprop"cheat but will if you have an alias for said boolprop cheat!)

    I didn't know the simdna cheat. Being a very picky Sims baby breeder, often closing the household 20 times unsaved to get the DNA and personality combination I want, I am so going to use this cheat to also check if the resessive genes get to live in the next generation. And a tutorial how to rename the household would be helpful. Right now I always make sure I have only one household with an unique name, so I can still use the familyfunds cheat.
