Dying in Create a Sim (Sims 2, Create a Sim Experiments)
VloĆŸit

- In this video I experiment with getting the Grim Reaper to come into CAS. It took a lot of testing and some modding to figure out how to do this, and some other weird things happened along the way.

Thanks for the 1000 subscribers just noticed đ also while uploading this video I suddenly realised I was listening to HIM's cover of Don't Fear the Reaper haha. Weirdly appropriate.
Congratulations on 1k+! đđ»đ
You might be the first person ever that has killed a pet in CAS in the entire history of The Sims lol
It's possible since the process for doing it ended up being so convoluted lol. Not sure it's possible without modding.
Create-A-Death
Im obsessed with sims 2 corruption videos now
@ARandomAnimeFan oh yes, I already follow her, she's great! but thank you!
Same, it's become that creepy hobby of mine, watching corruption videos made by heroes
Same here. Some kind of psychotherapist should tell me why are these so interesting :'DD
@@kitty_basspiano I think it's the mix of nostalgia, mystery, spookiness, and most of all the intrigue of watching someone destroying their game from within the way we personally wouldn't have the courage and patience to.
Jim Pickens: **nervous sweating**
Oh my God haha you uploaded the video that inspired my fire in CAS video XD
Sheâs even scarier
You have made history! I don't think ANYONE has managed to get Grim into CAS before đđđ
''I don't know why it crashed' says while trying to kill witches, vampires and zombies at cas drowning on a pool cathing on fire and running with scissors... AHAHAHA
the plantsim watched someone be reduced to literal ashes and just went."lol gonna play with this dog"
Watching these things happening feels like playing in the sims in a dream would look like
When you added the dancefloor and flashing lights while the hybrid sims were glitching out I was laughing so hard LOLL
The things we do for science ;__d
U should stop being worried about game corruption and just do it lol. Just back up important stuff and reinstall after your experiments
i did this, i donât regret it. itâs really interesting lol
You still need to be careful. Thereâs a form of corruption that even effects your game after reinstalling
@@Alexa-hs5bd in that case, you just have to erase the registers c:
@@KagamineRinVocaloid but that's a bit of a pain
I do not believe that
how are people suddenly talking about sims 2 corruption and making videos about it, i know it was known before too but i didnât realize it was so complex until now! are people just bored in lockdown lol
I actually ended up reinstalling The Sims 2 during the first lockdown in the UK. I hadn't played it for about a decade before then although I had played The Sims 3 + 4 in between. Not sure what inspired me to do it but I just felt nostalgic and then my neighbourhood got corrupted almost straight away lol. It was almost like fate though because after investigating more I noticed a few other people started talking about it around the same time, and one other person on reddit also had a corrupted neighbourhood and it was the first time they saw that too. When I played regularly in the 2000s I never noticed any signs of corruption somehow, even though I heard people talking about it.
Yessss more CAS corruptions!!! đ€©
A house full of Grims sounds dope, not gonna lie đ
Donât mind me just getting my snacks so I can sit down and enjoy this video đđżđđ»ââïž
haha I did think of you while setting up the intro tbh because of the Grim avatar on your channel :D
@@CalipersandTongs Ahh really? Weâre all Grim fans here đđ
The hybrid pet sims are my worst nightmare
FYI blue fangs is not a corruption, its a bug came with later expansions that happens only with YA and adult males
31:01 that whole segment is quite literally one of the funniest sim things I ever saw.
I don't know if anyone else has commented this but the vampire fangs glitch is "normal", I think it's another poorly coded Maxis issue. There's a fix for it on Cyjon's Sims 2 Mods 'n' Stuff.
Oh yeah I may have heard about that a really long time ago and forgotten because it sort of rings a bell.
Your expirements give me anxiety but I can't stop watching
I never knew CAS was a hidden lot in the sims 2.
I'm wondering if they did this for other games, like the gamecube version of sims 1 that has a burglar peek in through the window.
Yeah it would be really interesting to know how they set things up for the early console games especially as that game was kind of in-between 1 and 2.
Iâve just found your channel a few days and Iâm loving it! Glad you finally figured out how to get grim in CAS
I very nearly gave up tbh lol, but I figured out a way at the last minute.
i admire how much time and effort you dedicated to this even though it seemed like it wouldn't work the entire time
This is just an historical moment
31:57 âI donât think theyâre dyingâ
On the inside they are.
I found your channel a few days ago and since then I've watched almost all of your videos. You touch up on so many interesting things, I really like your content! Keep it up ^ ^
Oh man, I feel bad for suggesting this now! I made you waste so many hours on it! But thank you though! I really enjoyed this video and it was fun to see! Sorry for making you waste so many hours omfg!
But eeeh your a modder now! I guess! XD So that's good...!?
Ah it's cool I wanted to see it as well anyway and yeah I was planning on getting more into modding eventually although more for The Sims 4. But that aspect was pretty rewarding too when I got it to work (sort of lol, I mean it did the job.) Probably will forget everything later though lol.
@@CalipersandTongs Pfffft no I get that. Ya know how I said I fixed corruption in the Sims 3 by moving the files from the old save to a new save? Yeah pfffft I don't remember how to do that! XD I just know it's possible and I've done it XD
So I bet you'll be checking tutorials for a while until it's stuck in your brain XD
When I was younger (and didn't know anything about the dangers of corruption), I managed to get the Grim Reaper pregnant - I think using Inseminator. During her next few visits (I was killing a lot of sims, hehe) she would appear on her preggo clothes, with no face and the default straight black hair (you know, Dina's hair). She would perform her normal actions and then leave, but everytime she came, she was in a different pregnancy stage - the pregnancy was in progress. However, she never gave birth to anything and sorta got stuck on the last trimester. I wonder if this could be looked into further. What do you think? I'm too scared of breaking my PC to try it lol.
Ah I'd love to try that out, also with the story progression mod to see if that would push the pregnancy along. I was trying to get Sims to give birth in CAS using that mod though and it didn't seem to have an effect. (I waited ages and nothing progressed, didn't try it with pets though so that might have worked.) I've been trying to avoid things that are likely to make the game unplayable though and I think that would probably do it, at least if it gets saved. I might try it one day before reinstalling the game though. When/if I do I'll probably make a big list of things to try first and then just go crazy lol.
Thank you for all your experimenting and all the effort this mustâve taken đ I learn a lot about the game from your videos, theyâre really interesting!
this is the splendid content we need in these rough times!!
This series is my absolute favourite thing ever
I was so looking forward to this đ I was going to do this myself but got scared lmao
TS2 vampire teeth are TRAGIC. Cyjon has a "fix" available in his arsenal of mods, bless his soul, but after two revamps (!) he still can't solve the issue. There's something uniquely wrong with TS2 vampire teeth and essentially nothing will make them permanently stop flashing blue... and it makes me distraught! I want non-glitchy vampires in my game!! What I do now is just use the batbox/change appearance mirror option, the way you'd fix flashing blue CC, but it's really frustrating. Thanks once again for a great video!
I feel like I remember this happening now years ago but forgot, it's weird because it doesn't happen with normal vampires I've created recently, I've only seen it with the grand vampire NPC's.
@@CalipersandTongs That is so weird. I haven't played with too many vampires lately, mostly one Sim whose household always opens with him flashing blue...
@@peachforce I think it could be because the vampire's I've made recently were made using the inSimenator and maybe that somehow stops the blue flashing? I'm not sure.
I love your voice. you should start a podcast. I'd honestly listen no matter what it's gonna be about.
and btw the quality of your videos is fire, it's obvious you put a lot into them.
Thank you :) I feel like I sound very awkward in videos because I end up stuttering and mixing up words a bunch.
@@CalipersandTongs you do not sound awkward, trust me ;)
maybe I'm not that much of an expert, English is not even my first language, but anyway! British accent makes everything sound cool, even if it's stuttering. thanks for the content đ
Honestly bless you for going through this research and torment bc the title of the placable fire CAS video had me morbidly curious about if a CAS Sim could die and how it'd look. I kept getting weirded out when glitches happened in this video but I forgot how the Sim pet hybrids looked and literally started going, "EW EW EWWW" out loud when they crawled into CAS frame lol. I totally forgot how they "walked" oh my gosh!!
(Also I've never been excited for a Sim pet/animal to die of old age until right now)
Yeah I kind of had to try and find a way after I did the fire thing lol. Also yeah the movements of the sim-pet hybrids are really creepy.
It never occurred to me that CAS house was an actual "build."
Congratssss!!! This is histroical lmao
Your videos have been my favorite rabbit hole in a long while thank you for existing
I liked this CAS corruption series!
Try burning a vampire in sun on the Uni CAS lot. I think we can extract it as well
Poor doggy
This is so thorough and so cursed, I love it.
We are watching The Sims History in the making here đ€Ł I'm so happy I found your channel!
The runs with scissors playset is dumb and dangerous, which is just the way I like my Sims DLC
I loved this video it was so interesting!!! I watched it all
Thx for all ur effort to make it
this experiment got me amazed!! *_* thank you for the experience ,it was surreal... and that INTRO and OUTRO are fantastic , never put them out :)))
0:45 Hey that was clever! :D
I love your vids, also congarts on 1k subs girl!
brilliant video chapters as always
hey!! i love reading and watching stuff about sims 2 corruption and game mechanics so your channel is literally perfect, i treat your videos like a part of my self care routine đ if you want to avoid corruption of game files (at least to some degree) you should set them to read only (there's tutorials online). it helps to avoid game corruption since this kind of corruption is far more dangerous than the neighborhood one đ©
Oh thanks yeah I set those files to read only before messing around with CAS, though I'm not sure if that's enough or not. I did try googling for signs of game vs neighbourhood corruption as well but couldn't find much on that, I wonder if it's hard to tell them apart. I guess maybe if there are problems in every neighbourhood and with the universal NPCs.
Awesome! you actually did it
I think he might want to make a zombie đ€
Now I'm curious if the CAS sim will react to the death like how normal sims do lol
Oh that's interesting. I didn't end up trying much like that in the video after Grim appeared, I didn't want to interrupt him doing his thing the first time I guess lol.
@@CalipersandTongs Also I think that thing you saw under the map might have been a sim. It looked long and flat like a sim body lying down. Least I thought so. Still thanks for doing these btw, its fascinating what strange things still occur in these games.
what if you get a cas camera mod to make it free cam instead of just zooming and turning the sim?
I have a camera fix that allows you to move a tiny bit more, but I didn't realise there were mods that allow you to freely control the camera in CAS, might have to look into that later.
@@CalipersandTongs iâm not sure there is one but in case there isnât u can probably tweak your own somehow
We need to send this to Call Me Kevin so he gets ideas đ
Congratulations on 1k!
I find it pretty rude that the scissors set is called "The Runs With Scissors Playset by ADD". This so wouldn't fly today.
Huh I missed that. I did think this mod definitely wouldn't exist for the current game (as an official mod by the developers I mean, modders make all kind of things,) because the implication that a Sim has been stabbed to death wouldn't really fly either (even if it's just an accident.) I think a lot of stuff from The Sims 2 wouldn't work now, they didn't even include the Specter household in The Sims 4 from what I've heard because of their dark past, though I personally like stuff like that and think The SIms 4 is too sanitised in some ways (and lacking in lore in general which is the bigger problem.)
That being said mental illness and other conditions have never really been covered properly in the Sims games and I think even in The Sims 4 at release just several years ago they had a personality trait that was called 'insane' or something like that. They changed it later to erratic. I get that The Sims series isn't supposed to be overly serious in tone though and is a little sarcastic, so it would be difficult to integrate serious stuff into it for that reason. I think the developers of paralives were discussing that unless I imagined it though, so it will be interesting to see how they handle that if they include neurodiversity or various disabilities at all.
@@CalipersandTongs I agree to all your points, especially that TS4 is too sanitised (and bland to be frank).
This item in particular just reminds me of the time when ADD wasn't taken seriously and kids with it were openly made fun of without anyone batting an eye. (Not that bullying doesn't happen nowadays, but at least a big name video game doesn't imply the idea that kids with ADD are going to have themselves killed) They could easily have named it "The Runs With Scissors Playset" or find a different quirky reference.
Just to clarify myself, I don't really blame the older games for not having 'representation for representation's sake' though. Games back then were rough around the edges, also in technology. TS2 was extremely broken, but it could do pretty much for the time.
I'm curious for what Paralives is going to do, and how. đ
8:09 reminds me of that âthis is fineâ meme
Congratz on 1k subs đđ„...They don't tell anyone this in witch school but you know you've made it when you're chilling at the bar with the grim reaper sipping cocktails.. đđč
Haha thanks
I would love to see u try other sims corruptions!đ
Love your videos đđœ
You can put a cash register or something else that needs a NPC, I remember it worked for me. You may also try to change the lot type to community (with cheats).
It would be interesting to see if it still shows up as an owned business, but I'm assuming it wouldn't recognise that and it will need to be a normal lot to show up.
I also want that Sims 2 Grim Reaper costume with his spooky sexy exposed ribs on Sims 4!
when you play sims 2 on drugs
thank you for destroying your game for this video it;s amazing
To avoid game corruption, there are a few files that you can change in the game. Basically, you change it to Read-Only, and the game can no longer overwrite those files when something game-corrupting (*cough cough, Mrs. Crumplebottom getting bitten cough*) happens. I can't remember which files it is, but it should be pretty easy to google. I found it a few years ago, I think it's only one or two that need the change.
Have I ever tested it? Oh, no. No lol. I'm too lazy. But it does make me feel a bit safer when playing TS2 lol.
Oh I did do that with all the object package files before messing about in CAS (I can't remember the exact files either just followed instructions from the sims wiki,) I wasn't sure if it 100% prevents game corruption or not though.
The scariest part for me is how corrupted game becomes when you are messing with it đ
I still sometimes have a weird feeling when I play normally in CAS now lol.
I actually did want to try corrupying me game for fun, but although, I know not saving the game may stop the corruption...I'm afraid to
Thx for this video
from what i know pengiun that shows not during winter means corruption but I might be wrong
I googled it before and apparently the penguin can show up during any season but it's much rarer when it's not snowing or you don't have lots of fish on the lot.
genius!
Wait ur sims 4 game looks like sims 3 graphics!! HOW
Like at the beginning? Some of it might be the custom content (I've downloaded a lot and used it in my intros,) also I use reShade: reshade.me/ which is a third party program that you can use with various games to make it look different which is good for cinematics and stuff like this (but it slows down the game, so often not great for regular gameplay unless the presets are optimised for that.) I think the preset I'm using in this video is sandstorm by Wanderlust: wanderlustonline.tumblr.com/post/162427355205/reshade-preset-download-for-reshade-30
There are a bunch of videos about reShade and how to install it for The Sims 4 on CZcams. You can also use it for The Sims 2, and I assume The Sims 3, but haven't tried that yet. Herbalwhite on tumblr made The Sims 2 look kind of like Skyrim by messing around with the lighting and using re-shade:
herbalwhite.tumblr.com/post/622267583554633728/the-sims-2-realistic-forest-lighting
Also some other great stuff that looks really cool:
herbalwhite.tumblr.com/post/625361126587351040/the-sims-2-reshade-snow-walled-off-zone-in
herbalwhite.tumblr.com/post/624000247431036928/the-sims-2-reshade-nightcity-yep-this-is-all
You can get some pretty impressive results with it for photoshoots/cinematic stuff.
(comes back a day later with a video idea) I'm curious how broken breeding with broken skins actually is. People *say* you should always fix every Sim with a custom skin you've deleted in SimPE before breeding them, but what actually happens if you just breed them while their data shows a skin that no longer exists? Mannequin skin? Random skin? The infamous white-skin-with-code-on-it?
I also found, related to vampires, some sort of problem where fangs can be tied to skins. This thread was certainly interesting: modthesims.info/archive/index.php/t-556190.html
Oh that's an interesting idea. I might try that later. I was planning on doing a video on something vaguely related at some point, so could include that as well. Also that fang glitch is interesting. I think they probably did download a default replacement for the vampire skin that still keeps the fangs.
@@CalipersandTongs No, it was just a custom skin with odd teeth! People have reported other weird issues with skins having funky teeth, though I can't remember where I found the last one. Would probably be hard to find distinctly messed-up skins, though @__@
the real way to get a ghost in ts2 cas
Could it be possible to have ghosts appear on the CAS lot? Or do you think theyâll probably disappear like the other types of sims you tested?
Also the noise at around 32:55 was probably the cowplant. At least thatâs what it sounded like to me.
I was wondering about that while creating the video. I think it could potentially be possible if I save the CAS lot at night time, maybe just before the ghosts come out, or if I save with them as ghosts. I think ghosts are still recognised as Sims though and have most of their data attached to the gravestone, so it's possible they'll function the same way and not show up.
Ah I did remove the cowplant later, but I can't remember when I did that but it probably is that then.
i have a cas replacement I downloaded a while ago thats designed like a store and has an npc cashier. he's really quite annoying cos when you complete one Sim he moves to the photo booth area and seems to be stuck there as he complains he cant move the rest of the time. could probably be killed by fire that way. I would try it but I dont want to corrupt my game lol. its got like a decade of saves on it. but im thinking they must've changed the cas lot to a community lot to make an npc cashier spawn when a register is placed.
yeah that's really interesting so they managed to get NPC's on to the lot hmm. I thought it wouldn't still work if you changed it to a community lot. I think that doing that causes neighbourhood corruption in occupied buildings, I was reading about changing lot zoning with apartments before. I don't think it causes game corruption but will have to check. The CAS lot object package can be easily replaced again with a backup (have to back it up first,) which should remove any corruption that could be tied to it or the game as a whole but neighbourhood effects may still apply. Doing stuff like this is risky though.
I forgot I had a youtube video open and I grabbed my phone and saw this 31:04
I wonder if there's an invisible scissors NPS generated, same as with a remote control car.
Hmm I'm not sure I think that's just for certain controlled object movements. I once downloaded a mod though (well I still have it because I have all my old downloads, but I downloaded it over a decade ago,) that adds a potion to the game that allows Sims to fly and I noticed through boolprop that there's an NPC SimMacFly there, so some mods do add invisible NPC's like that:
modthesims.info/download.php?t=169139
I'll have to look later to see if there's an NPC that shows up.
Add human statue Sims to Cass and see if they show up lol
Oh I always forget they exist lol, and I think I thought they were universal Sims but they're not same with the social bunnies and social workers as well they seem like they'd be universal Sims but they're not.
So the literal object sims are not literal objects?
@@CalipersandTongs right me too lol but you have to give it a try I believe they are like objects so maybe it will work fingers crossed lol
@@Human-hs8sp I'm not sure but I believe they are objects ? or it just spawns them ?
@@Gabbydirectionsims I'll have a play around and find out.
Maybe they would freeze to death if it was winter?
I think the CAS sims might not because I'm not sure their motives decline like normal Sims (or that they have motives at that stage,) and they also seem to freeze weirdly quickly compared to normal gameplay even when it's summer time on the lot, but it might be possible to get snow in there and things like that.
Best way to stop corruption with "Objects" is to make them Read-Only, or for better protection, mark it as a system file so that even the game files can't modify it
Oh yeah I've done that now.
8:18 "GRWM in Hell :) "
How did you place a Create-A-Sim lot?
You have to find it in the game files, copy it and add it to the neighbourhood lot catalogue of one of your neighbourhoods. There are a few guides to do this floating around, I can't find the one I followed now but just found this one on modthesims which includes screenshots:
modthesims.info/t/180469
I didn't use any game starter since I wanted strays to be on the lot + didn't mind the other weird seasons effects, but it you want to create a normal CAS screen you have to use that.
@@CalipersandTongs Thanks!
Congrats!
is it possible to remove the floor and dig down?
I think it might be but since the camera is limited I'm not sure it would be possible to see much, without some kind of camera mod.
Hey Calipers and Tongs, me and MONI were talking in Discord and I was wondering if you wanted to make a corruption collaboration video? I could send you the server or I could give you my email so we could all set it up. đ
That could be interesting, though I've never done anything like that before so kind of anxious :P I'm planning on working on an Easter themed video next because there's a crazy bunny cryptid hunter guy in my neighbourhood and I thought this was a good time to talk about him and some other things, but could work on it after that or at the same time depending on what you all have in mind. I could join the server if you are discussing it there.
@@CalipersandTongs Yess! Here add me on Discord and I will give you the server link
I wish the deadly dinner dish was downloadable.
I didn't upload it anywhere because when I was making it I didn't really know what I was doing and it replaced the original pet dish instead of working as a separate object, it's also very powerful lol (at least in the autonomous death form.) I didn't think anyone would want to download it though lol.
@@CalipersandTongs
I like to purge my neighboorhoods from pre made "beings". Most sims can be killed with fire, but I have to use cheats to deal with pets, and therefore, there are still a bunch of pre-made strays roaming around.
Your game works after that all? :D
I haven't played much normally since messing around in CAS so can't really say lol, but it seems relatively playable. I mean the game still loads at least lol.
Do sims usually act like they are freezing in CAS?
Oh no lol, that's a side effect of editing the CAS lot with seasons installed for some reason. That's why when you make custom CAS screens for normal use, you need to use a mod called anygamestarter to stop seasons running when you set it up, also pets because otherwise strays might wander onto the lot. I didn't do that in the video though since it just adds to the chaos lol. The really weird thing is that they freeze pretty much straight away, and even though the weather is fine.
what happens if you make cas lot a community lot
I did do that temporarily actually in the alien CAS video, but I can't remember now if I changed it back before moving it or not. If I did then I don't think it had much of an impact. That was in the uni subhood too so there were some other weird things happening when I moved it from there like the CAS Sim being told that they had class soon.
running with scissors has a death for females but if you get a male to run with scissors they will just stand still and die.
Oh I didn't know that, that's weird.
What I wanna know is if the CAS sims will grieve/react if the dog dies.
Yeah that would be interesting. I may go back to this topic again later, I have some other videos I'm planning/working on for now but I do want to make one on the Uni Create a Sim screen later since you can edit that lot too.

So tell me why I wasted 10 mins of my life on this lame video lol
This video is awesome
