Tons and tons and tons of Maxis-match hair. Revolvertrooper from Garden of Shadow's Mediafire folder of non-default face templates A lot to choose from and sorted into Maxis-match, realistic, and semi-realistic.ĭid you know you can have non-default face templates now? Crazy!Īll Around the World- 48 Non-Default Face Templates If you like playing with premades, it's extremely fun to put together an UberhoodĪwesome resource for defaults of anything you can think of, skins, eyes, faces, clothing, makeup. They will show up in the news paper and computer at random just like any other job offer, but if you want to find them immediately or when you WANT to here's a Job Seeking Board that should be able to hold them. As a note, these will be additional jobs/careers that read something like Job/Career Name - Vampire Friendly and will act similar to it's original counterpart, only dif is is that they'll be at night instead of the day.
Oh yeah! Speaking of vampires! Here's a ton of other mods that make it possible for your vampire sim to work at night instead of the daytime: Freetime, Seasons, University, and Base Game. I've got a ton of others stashed away, but these are my bare minimums :) Water Flowers Fix (For if you have flowers in hard to get places) Night School (Great for Vamp teens, couple it with School Changer) It's great with Nightlife, but you don't need the EP in order for it to work or make sense Let Kids be Kids (Apparently it conflicts with inTeenimater) Works with Seasons Lo and behold, he grows up, gets a Family aspiration, and has the LTW of becoming a Visionary! It was so perfect.
For example, I had a kid whose One True Hobby was Arts and Crafts - he had a lot of enthusiasm for it, a lot of interest in culture, and I really pictured him as someone who would want to become an artist. Now, if he has enough of an interest in crime, and hey, maybe his dad is also in law enforcement, he can now roll that LTW. Before, your knowledge sim couldn't have the LTW of reaching th top of the law enforcement. What mods are essential to your game play?Įdited to add: Greater LTW Variety - This mod assigns a Lifetime Want to your sim that is not only based on their aspiration, but also their personality, interests, and their relationships with other sims. Empty templates basically make it so that these sims do not spawn, and allow you to generate your own townies or even make your own! Especially useful if you have replacements for the face templates and want your townies to actually have those templates instead of the old maxis ones!Īnyways, these are just a few of the mods I have - my downloads folder is chock full, haha. With this, I'm definitely less afraid to stray from the 1st face template that everyone seems to go to when trying to make a pretty sim.Ĭommunity Time Project - This mod makes it so that when your sims leave their house for a community lot, spend 2 hours on that lot, and then come back home, they will come back 2 hours later! I hated that sims could spend an entire day at a community lot and then come back home the same time they had left - this makes managing their time a little harder!Įmpty Neighborhoods - Ever notice that when you create a new neighborhood you always get the same sims? Benjamin Long, Goopy Gilscarbo or whatever his last name is. This default replacement changes the face templates, but still keeps some of their defining characteristics. Lot Debugger - A must have in terms of fixing buggy sims/lotsĭeUglified Maxis Templates - Hate to be superficial here, but let's face it, some of the Maxis face templates look really odd, and I hated making sims from them. GunMod's Radiance Lighting - This has made my game SO much prettier, I absolutely love this mod to pieces. This has definitely created some pretty interesting situations in my neighborhoods. Sims no longer have to be in love to woohoo (because we all know how that's not how things go in the real world ) ). It introduces risky woohoo, so you get the added chance of having an "oopsie" baby.
:) (One of the better things about Sims 2 though is that it's still a playable game without mods)ĪCR (Autonomous Casual Romance) - This makes Sims more likely to engage in romantic interactions of their own free will based up chemistry scores, and they can even woohoo and try for baby on their own.
Since so many people are getting back into Sims 2 now with the release of The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, I'd thought it be nice to have some where that people could share mods and CC that have helped make their game play a lot more fun and interesting.
