This is really inspiring. I used to build so much in the sims4 but in the sims2 i haven't put too much effort into it exept for furnishing. I have a test hood i got a bit attached to so its all i play now and the amount of drama is amazing. Im definitely going to try harder with the hood now lol.
30:03 Yes The Sims 2 has 'moveobjects on' and other useful cheats for building. This is the first video I'm watching from your channel, so if anybody told you this before, sorry for being redundant, but in case nobody told you: Press Ctrl+Shift+C to open the cheat box and type 'moveobjects on', press enter. Other useful cheats for building are: boolprop allow45degreeangleofrotation true/false (true to activate, false to deactivate). This allows u to turn everything in a 45 degree angle. only works if you're rotating the object with the keys, not the mouse) boolprop snapobjectstogrid true/false (true to activate, false to deactivate). Allows you to place the objects basically anywhere. If i remember correctly, you need moveobjects activated first. You can also use they same keys you use in TS4 to raise or lower objects on the walls (frames, sconses, etc). You also have OMSPs which allow you to add multiple spots to a surface (or just the air). These have an invisible swatch so you can hide their eyebleeding colours and are raisable/lowerable as well. modthesims.info/d/325570/full-range-shiftable-omsps-closer-than-we-ve-ever-been.html modthesims.info/d/317716/updated-a-whole-new-dimension-omsps-revisited-and-improved.html I hope this helps your building. Love your content btw, super relaxing.
@@DarlingPlaysGames also, if you have full game, you can activate "setquartertileplacement on" on the cheat bar and press ctrl+f on your keyboard to activate it. it's way easier to place stuff than with snapobjects because you still have a grid, just a little more free and precise. hope that's helpful for you!
I’m so glad I found your channel, it’s such an inspiration! Hopefully soon, I’ll be able to start playing TS2 for the first time since my son was born. He’ll be 2 in September 🥰
I love the Sims 2 and Stardew Valley, and wanted so bad to pelican town be maid for sims 2 from some of creators. Cause my building and creating sims skills sucks. So I just dream about it😂❤
➡️If you press Crtl+F you can place the objects centered on the grid, no more TETRIS with the TV, that used to drive me CrAzy (I need everything centered and nice), if you use Ctrl+F when placing chairs around tables, you will need to test if the game will set them in their places at simulation mode first, if the game do, they will be working just fine! There's the snapobjects cheat, but sims won't use objects like beds, chairs or bookeshelfs that were placed with said code, so this code is better used to rugs, clutters and deco they won't be needing to interact with 🤪 ➡️Actually there's a mod that allows you to place the toddler's high chair at the table and so the parents can access it from the sides, If I'm not wrong search: Sims 2 High Chair Access Mod and there you go, no more toddler's "left aside" at family dinner time !😂 ➡️ The ] [ keys will allow you to go up and down with some objects, but there's also a mod that makes almost all objects from the game shiftable. ➡️ If you're trying to place deco or clutter at surfaces and shelfs, you can press M and the object will switch to all the available slots there, if there's not good slot options, the OMPS is a good mod for you.
Love these Sims 2 down to earth let´s plays ! Special, this and several other the use of the out for business EP. This economy driven aproach diverts away from a side show like item. Work, workplace integral part of the story as all those hired jobs elsewhere tremendous frustrating time consuming and unsatisfactory. Some custom content might be linked in the description ?
Yes, I am planning on doing an LP with this neighborhood! I haven’t thought about sharing it before but that sounds like a good idea so maybe I will! :)
@@DarlingPlaysGames i would love to see either, so looking forward to both or any or the build videos, I love how you approach the houses. I am not a good builder/decorator my self so i am taking notes :)
Love watching custom neighbourhoods gives me inspo for mine ❤ would love to know what you play sims 2 on I need to upgrade my very old laptop and I have no idea where to start 😩
Hello! I currently play the sims 2 on an Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop, it runs very well even with cc and I haven’t had any issues with freezing or graphics!
I love your neighborhood!!! Wonderful homes and families. I love the little touches, like naming each street based off of different fruits. So cute and creative. You've inspired me to try my hand at creating my own hood. I've been playing the Sims 2 since it came out, but never built a custom hood seriously. I was wondering. Do you have townies in this hood? What about the families that typically appear in the family bin? Also, if you would be so kind...where did you get those lovely windows and doors you used in the Foster families home?
Thank you so much for your comment! I'm glad I could inspire you in any way, building a custom hood is a lot of work but it really is so fun! :) To answer your questions; I don't have any EA townies in this hood, every character that is/or will be in Starryvale is one that I've made up, just because I like the idea of having control over who's in my town haha that also means that I won't be putting any of the EA bin families here intentionally either! I've just looked up the windows and they are from the Bespoke Build Set by Honeywell on Modthesims, here is the link! modthesims.info/d/615151/bespoke-build-set.html If you have any other questions, feel free to reply and I'd be happy to try and answer them! 😁
@@DarlingPlaysGames Thank you so much! Those windows are beautiful! How exactly do you get townies to not show up in a custom hood? Also, same with the families in the bin? Since I know they will show up in town if left there, and deleting them regularly risks corruption in your hood? I really appreciate your help. 😄
@@tryphenarose384 You're very welcome! 💛 You can use this mod which stops EA bin families from showing up in any new hoods you create; modthesims.info/d/520751 And this mod which gives you hood templates without EA townies; modthesims.info/d/615468/clean-and-empty-neighborhood-templates.html Pleasantsims has some great videos on this exact topic, I hope that helps! :)
These are lovely buildings especially given you are working mostly without custom content -- as you say that can be a real challenge. May I ask why you don't download cc to fill in the gaps? There's so much amazing stuff available that can really modernize the game! Garden of Shadows is a favorite site of mine with people who are still to this day, 20 years later, making wonderful stuff for this game. Truly amazing that it inspired the growth of such an awesome community. Anyway, thank you for the video!
I have a few pieces of cc that I like to use, and I’ll definitely have to check out Garden of Shadows! I like the retro vibe of the game as it is so I guess that’s why I don’t tend to use a lot of cc and I do like the added challenge of trying to make everything work together haha Thanks so much for your comment and I’m glad you enjoyed the video! 😁
i want to ask how does your ‘harvey’ earn his money from the home clinic? i’m really intrigued by the idea but i’d like my sims to habe actual salaries since i prefer to play with no cheats

I love seeing others custom hoods ❤️
I love your builds! Especially the bakery with the apartment above it, it's so cool and cozy ❤
This is really inspiring. I used to build so much in the sims4 but in the sims2 i haven't put too much effort into it exept for furnishing.

I love watching custom hoods; watching gameplays on the same premade hoods became kind of boring 😅 Also, I just subscribed! ❤
It is nice to mix things up every now and then, custom hoods are tons of fun to make! Also glad you enjoyed and thanks for subscribing! :)💜

hi..may I know what camera mod did you use here? seems like you can move angle view freely...how did you do that? Thanks.

Hello I’m new to u I love sims 2! ❤
Im really late but i really love the idea that the sons needs to fight for the restaurant ownership
Great idea! 😁
@@DarlingPlaysGamesdamn thanks to see me so quickly! I really loved your town, gonna see the next videos too!
I love this, are you planning to do a lets play series or share the neighborhood on mts when it is finished?

I will say pretty crazy that charlie’s parents deadass buried in the backyard

Are you going to be doing gameplay once this is done? I'd love to watch that too!

Functional cars in the closed world... Can Sims 4 repeat that?
how the edges in your game are so smooth? i did every thing i know to make my game smoother bad still serrated
Hi! I installed the sims 2 graphics rule maker mod so I think that’s why everything looks smooth!
can we download this neighborhood? 🥺
Once I have it finished I’ll try and make it available for everyone to download! ❤️
