a great cheat is u press ctrl then at the same time press shift then press c and type in motherlode it can get you 100, 000's if you type it in loads
If you press "shift" then the letter "N" while you are in create a family mode you will open debugging mode, enabling you to use NPC clothings and diffrent skin colors!!!!
Sorry people, I know that you're trying to help but I already have that information . . . and 200, 000 cheats more (not to mention the gigantic masses of information).
I'll be happy to answer any other questions (although those weren't questions).
Hey! I haven't been on your site in awhile, but I love the new look! But anyway, I was wondering if you know anything about custom content, and if so, where's the best place to get it, and um...how exactly do you make it work right? I'm a total sped in this department and everytime I even try downloaded CC, it never works right. Maybe you could shed some light on this for me? Thanks and Happy Simming! :-)
I was wondering where you'd gone, Lauren! Anyway, I have to say that I am a big fan of custom content myself and I actually make my own Sim clothes and objects (such as beds, couches and more). I used to use this site for custom content (before I started making my own). It's really good. Go to: http://www.aroundthesims2.com/. It's absolutely brilliant. At the moment, though, I don't go on it (I tend to prefer my own creations much more - L.O.L.)! But, you'll absolutely love it.
Once you've found your ideal piece of furniture or piece of clothing, just download it directly from the website. A little box will come up and I want you to click "SAVE TO DISC". Now, for all this to work, you need to have WinRAR - you don't need to buy it, just download it or a free trial and you'll end up keeping it with nothing going wrong (after a 40 day period, it might ask you to buy it but you just click no and continue upzipping files).
Okay, I mentioned UNZIPPING files. The things you download (which will probably appear on your desktop unless you've delivered it somewhere else) need to be unzipped by WinRAR (I'm not going to tell you how because you seem clever enough to figure it out - it's VERY straight - forward).
Once you've unzipped the files, they should look something like paint documents with a piece of paper behind. Do not click on it because it won't open. Just open up "My Documents" and there you'll see "EA Games", click on that and press "Sims 2". After all this, you'll see a couple of files, I want to to click on "Collections". Dump all the files you downloaded into "Collections" and VOILA!
All you have to do now is start up Sims 2. There might be a question asking you if you want the Custom Content to affect your game! Click "Ok".
Now, you'll find absolutely everything you downloaded!
P.S. Make sure that you download the MESH PACKAGE first (don't ask me what it is, I'm not planning to type another 20, 000 word essay). You'll realise what I'm talking about once you get on the website.
P.P.S. Some files don't need you to download MESH PACKAGES.
I hope I helped you Lauren and welcome back. By the way, I'm not going to explain how you make objects or clothes - it's a really long story and it's also quite complicated. I might send you some of my creations by email one day!
See you soon!
hi. i jst got sims 2 nd it wont start up. wot do u do?
Dear Ana,
I understand your problem. Do you think that maybe your computer is not fast enough to support such a game? It's either that or maybe your disc is scratched (but that is quite unlikely since your game is new). You've installed it, right? If you haven't, install it and the game will start up. If you have installed it, try restarting your computer then start up the game from "My Computer". If it STILL doesn't work after all this, try re - installing the game. But, if even then, your disc doesn't work - I cannot help you.
By the way, this question is not for this page, it should have been published on "Computer Problems".
Ha! Got on! I've been having problems getting to your site, but it's not a problem. I just wanted to tell you that your explanation for CC was PERFECT! I am no longer a sped in that department. :-)
Thanks Lauren! As you know, explanations are my specialty! L.O.L. Anyway, I wanted to say that I'll send you one of the clothes I made for Sims 2 sometime - If you want them, that is. L.O.L. Anyway, it was good seeing you (well, "seeing you" isn't exactly literal here) . . . So, have a nice day! By the way, I've just finished my exams! I've just recieved the results - they were really GOOD!!! I don't mean to brag, but, you know - after all the hard work and frustration . . . you've got to have some fun!!!
I'd love to see your creations sometimes! And a huge congradulations on your good grades!!! So summer is finally here for you? Doesn't it feel good? :-) I have another question about CC...I can't seem to make the hairstyles work right. They just don't show up. I've downloaded all the necessary meshes for them...so I was wondering, do I have to move them to another location besides collection? I've got everything else to work. I'm trying to make a setting for my new story that I'm coming up with, and it's like 18th century, so the regular hairstyles won't really look right. If you could help, I'd be so appreciative! Thanks again!
Indeed Lauren, the hairstyles need to be moved to "Downloads". All hairstyles work like that. Anyway, good luck! By the way, we have another 2 weeks before the summer. It goes school, exams, school and school! L.O.L. I'll see you around! Ooh . . . a new story? I'll be happy to see it! Tell me when it comes out!
It worked! Thank you so much! School for another 2 weeks? Well that's messed up! My sympathies. Well, "cya" around!
L.O.L. I guess you can say that. Strangely, though, I like school. Oh yeah, did I tell you congratulations! You've graduated! Life must be fun, time of your own . . . L.O.L.
Have a nice day!
By the way, Lauren, could you spread the word about this website a bit? I'd be very grateful if you could. You see, my old website had loads of visitors but this one doesn't!
It's the least I can do! Oh, and I've got my new story out, Elizabeth. S/n's Artjunkie15, just in case you want to check it out. :-) But I have to warn you, it's a LOT of reading!
Wow Lauren! I've just seen your story - absolutely brilliant. How long did it take you to make it? I am seriously impressed. L.O.L. Congratulations on your apparent success! You've certainly built yourself a talent!
By the way, Lauren, my old website is back in action! Go to http://sims2mongoose.wordpress.com/. Both websites are running now!!!
Thank you! It only took a few days to do, actually...I was glued to the computer. I'm going to be working on the next chapter soon...I'm working on the plot right now. Gotta put some good twists in it. So you're going to keep both sites then?? Isn't that going to be a bit hard? All power to you tho, if you do keep them both! Keep up the good work! I really do love coming to your site.
Thanks! I can also return that compliment to you! You're work is absolutely amazing. I really enjoy reading your stories - looking at your pictures too! Tell me when the next chapter comes out!!!
Lauren, do you mind putting all your comments on http://sims2mongoose.wordpress.com/! Thanks!
how do you get children back when they are taken by the social worker? my kid missed the bus and the babysitter had already left. the social worker came and took him while his parents were still at work.
