What did you discover today while playing the sims?

[Flordepp]

I discovered that kids can use the Tele-Prompter reward and make jokes, and burp all the time, LoL and the adults or teens near them get really angry at them. That´s cool

[ChrstyFarie07_SC]

I discovered that you could jump on couches @_@

[nixie_SC]

Discover that my latest obsession with custom content has made my computer run extremely slow, I say its the game's fault because now that everthing is uninstalled my computer is well again.

Also discover that I cannot use patch number 5 for season expansion, I try to patch Seasons with patch number 5 from thesims.com and the patch tells me I have to uninstall and reinstall season expansion, I did, and it got stuck half way in the process of re-installing, I check My Document folder, EA game folder is gone, wipe out! I therefore have to uninstall the rest of the game, everything, and reinstall and start afresh, but Where the bleep is my The Sims2 DVD! :(

[Menaceman44]

I noticed there is a picture of the social bunny on the milk cartons Sims use to make cerial with. I just updated my graphic driver. :D

[UtopiaGlam]

Yes, I had that too. So I gave up because the improvements are not significant.

[khakido]

Today I learned that those OFB display mats can go on top of counters. Duh, took me long enough to figure that out, ... and then I made a vampirific little room without using any CC... the candle is from one of the holiday packs...

[jenfold]

Today I noticed that my newest teen boy loves himself! With free will on he stood in front of a mirror and would not stop checking himself out until I told to do something else. I think he ended up checking himself out at least 16 times in a row.

[maybesomethingdunno]

Sim teens seem to care deeply about how they look....just like how you would expect real teens to do in real life.

I learned that just because your Sim is sneezing and sniffling from several Sim hours of being filmed outside during a stormy night, according to InSim's Health Adjustor, the Sim may not be sick.

[bigirish2003]

I moved a new sim into a new starter house. He didn't like the flowerbed (flames on top of the thought bubble and everything) so he carefully and systematically over-watered each of the beds and killed off the flowers. He even took the time to tidy up afterwards. I laughed until I stopped.

Also, I didn't know that the maids mopped up water on the lawn. That was wierd...very thorough, but wierd.

Oh, and the only other sim in that neighborhood that I created always shows up when the other sim is leaving for work. I wanted to get her pregnant by him (the working sim) but they never seem to connect so they can be introduced!!! Annoying.

[bigirish2003]

I noticed there is a picture of the social bunny on the milk cartons Sims use to make cerial with. I just updated my graphic driver. :D

Really? Is he missing or something? I'll have to check that out...

[autumnwish]

That other sims can autonomously call your sim to ask them to go on a date downtown. I knew that they would sometimes call to ask if your sim wanted to go downtown to hang out (usually from contacts) but I didn't know that my sim's boyfriend could call and ask her to go on a date. Cute.

[Count Four]

That I really hate the townie wife of my founder. I really, really do.

And that some sims really look better in glasses. Hides their piggy eyes.

[rome_raven]

I learned that a guitar can randomly show up at the corner of your Greek Residence, have al the features of a guitar, but be stuck halfway into the sidewalk and not moveable...weird.

[onsenmark]

Aquariums are like crack to toddlers. Seriously.

[bigirish2003]

Just a little while ago, my male sim took a phone call from his friend while she was standing on the lot waiting to be greeted. He just stood there looking confused until I cancelled the phonecall and he rushed to greet his friend without my prompting.

New stuff happens all the time I guess.

[The Decider]

I discovered that installing Seasons deleted all my gravestones!!! I think....I did download some new houses and hacks before I played the houses with gravestones so it could've been them. :p

Now my serial killer sim has to rebuild his entire collection....poor guy...

[sakrayami]

i discovered that 1 of my sims never get promoted! He don't reach his platina-level.
While his wife is promoted and have reach the platina-level, he is still at level 8, his want is to be the chief for a hospital, but he does not get there. I am not sure what to do, i would hope for him to reach a platinalevel before he's getting old. Anyone else who have a clue what could be wrong?

[coltraz]

The "Ignito" fireplace. I had no idea it existed. I found it in the Kim's house. I guess it pays off to play a maxis family/house combo sometimes. :)

[AxelValentine]

I have a sim who has a memory of having a grandchild. I didn't know there was a special memory for that. I always thought it would just be one of those "-Sim- has joined the family!" panels.

[coltraz]

A child can splash in dog pee. and then dad and child will sit in the dog pee, and read a book together.

[moo_beebi]

i didn't know there were pool slide recolours LOL

[chnnature]

That the Burb guy fathered Angela and Lillith Pleasant! I'm gonna dig around tomorrow and find out what other gossip is going on

[coltraz]

That the Burb guy fathered Angela and Lillith Pleasant! I'm gonna dig around tomorrow and find out what other gossip is going on


What?!? It wasn't Daniel Pleasant?

[Robovski]

I learned that just because your Sim is sneezing and sniffling from several Sim hours of being filmed outside during a stormy night, according to InSim's Health Adjustor, the Sim may not be sick.



Was it spring? If it was your Sim has hayfever.

[maybesomethingdunno]

Heh, it was indeed Spring. :) I had a mostly Summer neighborhood and needed to film during a thunderstorm. I've had more thunderstorms in Spring, so I changed it to that hoping the powers controlling TS2 weather would smile upon me.

Sims have no tongue, yet hayfever....the Sims world is so unique.

[Hollowtear]

The weatherman doesnt like his job. One day i left the weather channel on and after a few sim hours he said. "Oh my job is simply to look out the window. That's depressing" or something to that effect.

[chnnature]

What?!? It wasn't Daniel Pleasant?

Well I was going around houses in Pleasantville. When I went to the Burb house... Mr Burb fathered the kids of my poverty challenge so I wanted to see them on his family list and noticed that the Angela and Lillith are in his family. He's too old to be their brother.....

[skylark]

This was a while ago, but I forgot to add it then and it just occured to me now.

I learned that pressing .(or>) and shift simultaneously while placing a floor tile (when you still have the Maxis camera in thanks to a recent install) is a bad idea. The camera starts rotating around and round and I actually got nauseous just watching it. I couldn't get it to stop either (change direction yes, stop - nopes). I had to exit the house without saving.

[Ghanima Atreides]

He's their uncle. :) Jennifer Burb is Daniel's sister, that's why the girls show up in his family tree.

[chnnature]

Ohhhh!
lmao! Thanks for the clarification.

[Ghost sdoj]

I accidentally put an occupied house into the lots and houses bin, so I immediately put it back into the neighborhood in the spot I had been planning to move it to in the first place. He was still engaged to his fiancee (in Uni) and still had his job, his memories, and all his former friends.

[onsenmark]

Don't know if anyone's mentioned this already -- if you have one or more toddlers, and if they have low energy bar AND a low bladder bar, any and/or all Sims above Teen level will try and put the kid to bed, regardless of whether or not s/he's on the potty. "ZOMG I DON'T CARE IF MY BABY SOILS HERSELF, I MUST PUT HER TO BED"

My God, some Sims are just teh dumb. -_-;;;

[coltraz]

At a community lot, your friends list gets seperated by who's there so you can immediately see if you have any friends on the lot. Pretty cool.

[moo_beebi]

sims read backwards when looking at them, but correctly when behind :)

[Bad Kay]

moo beebi: okay, that just gave me a headache :p

I discovered a new want: don't grow old alone. This was a family sim of course, I thought it was pretty cute.

[treeag]

sims read backwards when looking at them, but correctly when behind :)
huh? don't get it...

[Thrior]

That sims can cheer up other sims =P. Seriously... I didn't know they can do that. And I'm still not sure when the option is actually available. Gordon had an option to cheer up Irina and I thought it was because she recently had vermins in her house but I'm not sure.

[AngelFrouk]

Recently i got rid of my old neighbourhood and started a new one. Ever since that time, whenever the penguin come around, he walks backwards. Just like Micheal Jackson.

[moo_beebi]

about the reading, it's just a mirror image thing.. i guess the sim creators were lazy :P

[Bad Kay]

Recently i got rid of my old neighbourhood and started a new one. Ever since that time, whenever the penguin come around, he walks backwards. Just like Micheal Jackson.

Hey, those two got even more things alike: they're both black and white. :p

I discovered that I just can't make an apartement to work. Maxis better includes that in the new EP!

[August26]

i discovered that on my sims there was a tab 'commited relationship' for adults :S

[TisiphoneStar_SC]

i discovered that on my sims there was a tab 'commited relationship' for adults :S

Wait...where? o.o

[Ghost sdoj]

If you have two sims of the same sex in love with each other, you can Propose committed relationship and Joined Union instead of Engagement and marriage.

[Menaceman44]

about the reading, it's just a mirror image thing.. i guess the sim creators were lazy :P

I've just watched one of my Sims reading to try and understand what you mean. My Sims use the same arm to change pages and read the same way whether I am looking at them from behind or from in front. I see no "mirror image".

[moo_beebi]

weird, i'll have to take a movie of it to show you :P

[Baby Ronno]

I discovered that the Count is too obsessed with the arcade machine to bite my would-be vampire sim...:(

[Count Four]

I saw the Flying Pig! Cool beans.

And Liander brought a friend home from work. Who happened to be a vampire. Who had to go running off down the street, fleeing from the sunlight. That was a laugh, hadn't happened before.

And I saw clouds while playing a residential lot (I don't have Seasons.) I'd never noticed before.

[Thrior]

That when my sims go into photobooth by themselves (when I'm not controlling them and they just happen to be in a community lot), they can take different kind of pictures than those two available options for single sim.
http://img63.imageshack.us/img63/9967/jacquesei2.jpg

Also... I just noticed Gordon gets furious if someone is better playing darts than he.

[Frenchie]

Well a week or so ago, I discovered you had to label your groceries stands, clothing racks and such as "for sale" for customers to buy *from* these... Yes, I'm slow.

[dandello]

That babies can go to work with their parents. I had one parent cuddling the baby when the carpool arrived, before I knew it, she was taking baby with her to work. They came back and the baby was a bright yellow background in his pic. Luckily the mom fed him and changed his diaper and the social worker did not appear, I did not save while they were gone just in case the game went berserk.

[Ghost sdoj]

I discovered that the Count is too obsessed with the arcade machine to bite my would-be vampire sim...:(

So play the game with him. Once you get friendly enough you can invite him to your house where there will be fewer distractions.

(Or trade him to me. It would be nice not to have to be alert to cancelling "be bitten" interactions for people who are not supposed to get bitten.)

[frakusv2]

Sims get "high" from "smoking" bubbles.

[Menaceman44]

weird, i'll have to take a movie of it to show you :P

Please do. I'll be interested to see it.


Thrior, that is a romantic type pose. I think someone made a hack so that it is available as one of the options now. I think it was here on MTS2. It might have been over at InSIM.
I wonder if MAXIS/EA intended for Sims only to be able to use it on their own?

[msjasmine9113]

If you invite a kid over to your house, say from school, they will leave at 7 o'clock and say 'Look how late it's getting. I better get home.' It made me giggle.

[khakido]

Today I learned that I can recolor all the sitting cushions on the bubble blower to individual different colors.

[FeNerd]

I saw the Flying Pig! Cool beans.

And Liander brought a friend home from work. Who happened to be a vampire. Who had to go running off down the street, fleeing from the sunlight. That was a laugh, hadn't happened before.

Flying pig?? wassat?

[Apsalar]

I learned that Sometimes fire from lightning in a tree isn't put out - it stopped raining the second after the lightning struck a tree on the lot, and the fire didn't go out! I had to call the fire brigade to have it out. Cool!

[~Squash-buddy-ven~]

I discovered that toddlers apparently can have a want for buying a shrub. Maybe he's just really into plants?

[Count Four]

Flying pig?? wassat?

It comes with OFB. The Flying Pig is a large, runaway, pig-shaped balloon that floats above the business district sometimes. I caught sight of it yesterday.

[khakido]

I just learned that a sim can walk directly off of the 'split-level' stage thing without needing stairs.... were they always able to do that?

[FeNerd]

It comes with OFB. The Flying Pig is a large, runaway, pig-shaped balloon that floats above the business district sometimes. I caught sight of it yesterday.

wow, i have ofb and have never seen this before. I shall have to go and investigate...

[Count Four]

wow, i have ofb and have never seen this before. I shall have to go and investigate...

I saw it over Bluewater Village. I haven't seen it anywhere else, yet. I think it's a reference to SimCity; I think I remember (not positive, as it's been a while since I played SimCity) that there were a pig shaped balloon and a mouse shaped balloon in SimCity Parades.

[SpacemanHPSpiff]

I discovered that toddlers apparently can have a want for buying a shrub. Maybe he's just really into plants?
One of my toddlers a long time ago (this was before I had any EPs!) constantly wanted to buy shrubs, flowers... Even trees. Pretty strange for a toddler...

I saw that if sims get fired, even when they didn't go to work, they can get mad. Mine stopped playing SSX and had about a twenty minute rant to herself, sighing and jabbaring in simlish, and finally kicking the ground angrily. It was one of those times when the sims seems really, really realistic.

[moo_beebi]

the greatest glitch EVER!

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m228/sim_beebi/greatestglitchever.png

[Slytherin-Girl]

That when my teenage family sim's father died, she took her anger out by stomping around on all my nicely placed flowerbeds -.- I had to cancel the interaction before the whole garden got wiped out.

[FeNerd]

the greatest glitch EVER!

http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m228/sim_beebi/greatestglitchever.png

lol! thats fantastic! Sims 2 glitches are great, not at all annoying (to me at least)

[Ghost sdoj]

I saw it Downtown before getting OFB, and read somewhere that it comes with the watertower.

[Count Four]

I'd heard something about it coming with OFB, so that's what I thought. I hope I see it around again; I like it's tiny little wings. :p

[Lewser]

the greatest glitch EVER!




HA! I love it when that happends. One time, I had this kid and she grew up in one lot, and then I saved that game and went to another lot, not knowing that she was visiting there. It looked awesome, like something right out of X-files XD

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v36/Harrie/snapshot_52a99a80_5337dbce.jpg



ps. why are my photo's crappy?! :@

[exactduckwoman]

Yesterday I saw one of my kids queuing up to 'Tease' his toddler sister. What a mean little boy! I'd never seen that before. I cancelled it because I'm a control freak but now I want to know what he was going to do...

Also, one of the flowerbed butterflies was hanging out by the third floor. I think it got lost (no Seasons; I don't know if they're different when you have that...).

[Robovski]

I learned that Sometimes fire from lightning in a tree isn't put out - it stopped raining the second after the lightning struck a tree on the lot, and the fire didn't go out! I had to call the fire brigade to have it out. Cool!

I discovered that lightning can set fire to a puddle that is struck.

That's right. A flaming puddle. It was in front of my dorm.

[SilentPsycho]

I saw it over Bluewater Village. I haven't seen it anywhere else, yet. I think it's a reference to SimCity; I think I remember (not positive, as it's been a while since I played SimCity) that there were a pig shaped balloon and a mouse shaped balloon in SimCity Parades.

Actually, it's a real life reference to an incident at the Bluewater Shopping Centre in the UK where a large inflatable pig escaped from its moorings.

[Apsalar]

A townie can die from lightning on a community lot. My visiting sim tried to save the hapless sim, but she lost. It was a most terrifying event. The other sims just stood around ignoring.

[Henry Crun]

[QUOTE=exactduckwoman]Yesterday I saw one of my kids queuing up to 'Tease' his toddler sister. What a mean little boy! I'd never seen that before. I cancelled it because I'm a control freak but now I want to know what he was going to do... [QUOTE]

They hold out a toy and when the toddler reaches for it they hide it behind their back. The toddler cries and the child laughs :smash:

I usually make the child wet themselves when they do that to try to teach them a lesson (but it usually doesn't and once they have had a shower they are soon heading back to the poor toddler) :Slap:

[ooshinaynay]

sims can primp while sitting! O.O

[energy_genergy_SC]

Right, so I played the Ottomas', and Samantha had her twins- they both had black hair, by the by, which I thought was weird. The grandma's want was to have a grandchild, so I was all, 'O.o' when she didn't get the aspiration points. So I checked her family tree and, lo and behold, no twins. Then I check the twins', and their father is... that Clio woman?! I'm sure it was her. But whatever. Has this happened on anyone else's game, and if it has... what's the deal? Or am I just being dumb and missing something? :confused:

EDIT: NO WAIT. It wasn't Clio, it was Patricia! I was totally, O_O

[Menaceman44]

EA has said that it's best not to play the Ottamas family because they are so bugged.

I've noticed that families in the Sim bin can get brought home from work or school by playable Sims.

[coltraz]

You can hire Sims who are in the Sim Bin.

[Proxian_girl]

The Ottomas twins are buggy on anyone's game. They don't have a father coded in, so the game will randomly pull something to be their father-- in some instances, a random dog! There's an entire thread about that in the Seasons subforum, actually.

[energy_genergy_SC]

As I just found out. xD I got curious and went to have a look in Seasons chat to see if anyone else had had a random - not to mention FEMALE O_o - father in their game and boom, there were my answers. :D Thanks anyway. The Ottomas family mystery is solved!

[White Queen]

I discovered that my new baby girl is a Virgo altho she was born in winter... :wtf:
Guess EA forgot about that...

[onsenmark]

I dunno. I find child Sims teasing toddlers to be greatly amusing. Then again, I sometimes have a bit of a sadistic streak. ^^;

[Tyo]

When one Servo flirts with another Servo, they get the option to "Tune Up" the other. I thought it was funny, and slightly disturbing, when the female Servo took out a screwdriver, plunged it into the male Servo's back, and he started twitching his leg like a dog. It was pretty awesome, though.

[Thrior]

Well... this happened earlier but I have forgotten to tell about it.
Angela Pleasant suddenly decided she doesn't know her sister. She disappeared from the relationships section and when I made her do something with her sister she suddenly got +1000 aspiration point for "meeting a new sim" :blink:. Oh and that icon which tells that you're relatives was also gone and she could have started flirting with her sister. Lilith instead still knew her sister and that they were relatives.
Oh well... I deleted the family soon after that because they only annoyed me. But now that I think, I maybe should have spared them and made them lovers XD.

[coltraz]

-Servos. Finally!
-Two sims won't woohoo while a child is in the room.
-FINALLY I was able to witness a sim (the servo actually) do that panhandling thing with a tin and a cardboard sign. I always thought that was fake in the start up screen and always wished I could have my Sims do this. I think your aspiration meter needs to be in the red and your Sim has to have a fortune aspiration.

[Menaceman44]

Yup. Panhandling is a fortune Sims' failure action.

[AxelValentine]

I didn't until just recently get a sim to do one of those reactions.
He brought out the flour sack baby and I started laughing. Did it twice in one day even.

[Count Four]

If you want to see more aspiration failure hysterics, try the Asylum Challenge, it can get really hilarious!

Today I discovered that Nina, Dina and Cassandra all clean up really well. I think I've been bitten by the makeover bug.. :clap:

[Canoodle]

I experienced a new one: When a tombstone is hit by lightning, the ghost will pop out of it's grave, wave their arms a bit and hop back in. This can happen in broad daylight.

[Passion4Film]

I've never had a ghost before that had drowned (gasp, I know) AND I CANT STAND THAT THEY LEAVE PUDDLES EVERYWHERE!

I've also truly admitted to myself that pretty Sims put together don't make pretty children for me. And I have the hardest time with sons from two women (hacked) - they're always ugly.

[Kyrelle]

A sim can fail a college semester with a D+! That is TOTALLY a passing grade! Grr, Maxis.

[Robovski]

That my lots of the Exchange have disappeared. I don't know if they were removed or what, I just noticed that I have nothing uploaded when I checked out my page over there. :confused:

[Ghost sdoj]

ps. why are my photo's crappy?! :@

It looks like you don't have the graphics options set very high. If you go into the game options and check the settings, you may be able to set them higher. (This can slow down your game performance, though. Sometimes it's better to play at a lower level, then bump everything up as high as you can when you want a picture.) You can also use a screen capture program or just hit "print screen" and then window out to something like Paint to paste the image to get a bigger picture which you can then resize with more detail. (Although you will often end up with a red border you need to remove later.)

[Menaceman44]

That my lots of the Exchange have disappeared. I don't know if they were removed or what, I just noticed that I have nothing uploaded when I checked out my page over there. :confused:

They do regular clean outs. I think any upload stays for about 2 weeks or a month, something like that and then if it hasn't reached a rating of 3.5 or more it gets removed.

[tlynnjpeg]

Not at my schools. Less than a 2.0 average and you go on probation, do it again (consecutive semesters), you get dismissed, just like the game. Though I occasionally feel that it should count as passing.

-Jpeg

[Luvnme]

I discovered that some sims talk in their sleep, and for some reason or another one of my sims decided to "potty train" her toddler all on her own. I didn't know they could do that autonomously at all. And no, I have no hacks. She picked the baby up, aged him and took him straight to the potty where her action was "potty train". Interesting!

[Robovski]

I thought it might be something like that except searches bring up lots far older, and 2 of the 5 lots had 4-star ratings (the others were at 3 the last time I'd looked). At least I know that some 40 people are (hopefully) enjoying my community centre and another 24 are enjoying my Stuff Mart.

And hey, I still have those lots in my Robtopia neighborhood.

At my University, a 50% is a pass, but to take a course at a higher level you need at least a 60.

That explains why one of my toddlers knew how to use the potty, but i can no recollection of having trained him.

[nixie_SC]

some very, really badly done custom hair ... wasted my time downloading :eviltongu

[moo_beebi]

i didn't know you could play finger wiggler thing with puppies..

oh, and death by illness or whatever? when did that come about?

[Ghost sdoj]

I think death by illness has been there since the base game. You could always get sick from bad food or bugs, and it does warn you to take care of your sim when they get sick.

But I never let them die.

[Menaceman44]

I had one Sim die by illness. His ghost constantly relives the death by clutching his throat and collapsing.

[s2dreamer]

My female sim became fat and wouldn't stop eating!
It turns out her husband's Turn Off was "fatness" lol!

[xitsyourkissx]

I found that if a sim doesn't have a high enough body skill while he's on the spinning dance thing, he'll occasionally vomit after he falls out of it.

Momicajack: the door-locking options came with OFB.


I don't have OFB , all i have is uni and seasons & i can lock the doors& I don't have any hacks or anything

[Robovski]

If you have Seasons, they may have brought in that gameplay element for those who didn't have OFB (just a guess).

I found out today that Sims can have a "get fit" want.

[Seiza]

Not sure if I saw this correctly, but two of my child siblings were playing Cops and Robbers. When the nicer brother became the cop, he just laughed when the sister pretended to die.

But when sister was the cop, she kicked him when he fell down dying! :lol:

[I_Love_Simming]

I thought I was being clever by decorating a lot with expensive stuff before i got the family i want to move in, so i wouldn't use thier simleons. But turns out the lot price actaully goes up in value the more stuff you decorate it with :|. Damn.

[EraMentis]

I discovered that my Sims could get a free meal at any restruant via a coupon from Sims City Council (or somesuch) through the mail.

[chnnature]

That making robot things takes a lot out of you!

[Derange]

I found this outfit for the first time. Seriously, has anyone seen this before?

[I_Love_Simming]

I discovered that Kaylynn the maid is the spit of Bella, exept with lighter skin.

[IrishMermaid]

I'm not sure if anyone has noticed this before but if you watch the sky at nighttime each night has different constellations. Has anyone else found the dippers, Orion and all of the zodiacs???

[Sizza]

That food fights can trigger a crush...:wtf:

[Robovski]

I found this outfit for the first time. Seriously, has anyone seen this before?

That's a teen outwear outfit from Seasons.


I discovered today the Grimmy can be scared by ghosts and doesn't like it.

And that the Asylum challenge becomes a lot more challenging with 20 graves on the lot from all of the old inmates...

[Slytherin-Girl]

That when you get sims who jog past your lot during the day, they can be pregnant ones o.0 (It's Circe Beaker btw)

I only seemed to see that with the pregwearall hack installed -- and for some reason, I see it more often with my abducted males! (And usually I have a few pregnant females with 7+ Active if I'm in that point in my play cycle)

Ahhhh I have that one too. :)

Maybe this is just the first time I've noticed it :P

[nicoleTRASH!]

I found out that dogs can "sing along" to Sims playing the piano. My other sim could have scolded him for it but I thought it was cute =]

[annapic2]

you can put objects on the lowest edge of a roof, like it was a coffe table O.o

Yep, very handy for putting lightning rods or weather veins on your roof's. I think this may have came with seasons, although I could be (and probably am) wrong. I just seem to recall reading something about now being able to do this.

[Menaceman44]

The ability to put objects on the roof DID come with Seasons. One of the bugs they are needing to fix is that apparently Sims can use chairs that have been placed on the roof but then can't get off.

[Sabbylicious]

I found out that that Rose girl (that plant grl in the new hood) looked like this when she drank that gypsy crap:
http://img75.imageshack.us/img75/3336/snapshot92637b01f353fa5oj0.jpg
I think it was cuz i expected her to be white or green or something. :D I was completely surprised

[Kyrelle]

Sims can have allergies. :P My little toddler kept sneezing, and when I hovered over her action in the queue:

http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w190/simpliciste/allergies.jpg

Is that new with Seasons?

Must be, I havn't seen this yet, will have to keep a look out for it but it would be a logical addition to seasons.

[lazyviolet]

that servo comes with badges that are different from their creator. this is my first servo i and i was planning on forcing her into robot making slavery, but instead of her creator's gold robot badge, she's got silver flower arranging and bronze toymaking ones.

[zukoislove]

My game is so weird.
I had one sim who was visited by a couple random townies. I greeted them and then had her say goodbye to the last one. When she got to the last one, she romantically kissed him goodbye. She now does this with every sim she has at least 2 bolts with, but she doesn't get any memory of it.

[coltraz]

"Scope Room". I never understood it. Actually I kind of still don't. But I had a Sim "scope room", he looked about and then spotted his wife. She began to glow in white light and he made noises of attraction towards her. A window popped up in the right corner that said, "Emily is HOT" ... Strange!

[Shastania_SC]

If your sim is holding a puppy/kitten and you tell them to "watch clouds" outside they will sit down on the floor with the puppy still in their hands and play with them :)
I must try that one!
I've found that if left to her own devices, my Goth sim will streak naked and randomly beatbox for tips. Whilst still naked. *giggles* This game never gets boring!

[gamestress]

Yep, very handy for putting lightning rods or weather veins on your roof's. I think this may have came with seasons, although I could be (and probably am) wrong. I just seem to recall reading something about now being able to do this.
Which leads me to what I learned today. A lightening strike can start a house fire. ugh

I find scope room very handy for finding out who your sim is attracted to. Its very good if you are wanting to check out a whole room rather than clicking on each individual sim and doing flirt>check out sim.

[I_Love_Simming]

Which leads me to what I learned today. A lightening strike can start a house fire. ugh

I learnt that too...that sucks

[chnnature]

the "use acne cream" option on mirrors for teens

[Passion4Film]

The Sims get allergies!

[coltraz]

that a sim will react to another sim disliking their artwork on the wall. They'll sort of put their face in their hands and shake their heads. So cool!

[Ghost sdoj]

I had a sim who cried every time someone disliked his paintings. I had him paint a portrait of his wife, and nobody liked it. (Not even him or his wife.) I sold it for 500+ simoleons and had him paint another one. Nobody liked that one either. Or the next, or the next...
12 paintings later, I decided to keep it barricaded in the attic so people would stop commenting on it. At least while he was alive... I'm curious to see if a ghost objects to having his paintings insulted.

[Tyo]

I only now noticed that Nina and Dina Caliente are of alien ancestry. Who knew their grandfather was Pollination Technician #7?

[Member789]

Nina and Dina are part alien? I'll have to check that out next time I'm playing.

My Legacy founder had a job in the Law Enforcement-career, so after a while she got the fingerprint scanner. Because she needed cleaning skillpoints to get a promotion, I had her scan the house. Every once in a while she'd get a thought-bubble with a alien in it? But she never had any aliens over (unfortunally, because I was trying to get her husband abducted)... :einstein
Even creepier: you know when you click on a visitor, you can, among other things, say goodbye. If there are more visitors, you get the option 'Say goodbye to everyone'. However, I somtimes get that option even when there's only one visitor. :blink: Or is there...

Also, yesterday I say the 'be embarrassed' action for the first time... it's so cute! :anime:

[MagicBeans]

That fresh fish sparkle and satisfy your hunger faster.

Also that you shouldn't let them eat the whole plate, unless they're very hungry (watches Sims waistlines expanding...)

[Tosh]

Something cute happened yesterday, my sim kid (legacy) turned off the TV by herself and started painting on an easel :valentine

She's the only sim Ive had so far that's remotely smart and cute without me forcing them to be. Plus she has cute little pig tails and she just glows of cuteness! Cute! Hehe. ^^

[Tramen]

In my game yesterday, one of my couples were outside their own house kissing - my Jack Harkness (from Doctor Who) sim proceeded to 'be embarrassed'...even though he's a romance sim :lol:

[Menaceman44]

I think this tends to happen if you have robots or pets on the lot as well.

[Member789]

I think this tends to happen if you have robots or pets on the lot as well.

Yeah, but I only have the base game...

[tlynnjpeg]

Yeah, but I only have the base game...

I get that at least 75% of the time I go to say goodbye to a visitor. And I only have Uni. I think it has to do with the whole "off-world" lurkers thing I've heard a few times (MATY, I think).

Slightly OT: I wish there was a "say goodbye to everyone but this sim" option. It would make my life so much easier.

-Jpeg

[Chinchillagirl6]

"Off-world lurkers"? What in the world is that?

[Robovski]

Yeah, but I only have the base game...

Your visitor could have an invisible to you 'visitor' like the Social Bunny or Psychaitrist.

Unusual, but certainly possible, and you'd only see the interatctions of your visiting Sim.

[tlynnjpeg]

"Off-world lurkers"? What in the world is that?

If I remember correctly, it had to do with all the NPCs that are basically there on the edge of the lot ready to pop in at any second.

-Jpeg

[moo_beebi]

i hadn't had a tree catch fire since i've had seasons installed.. well, one did and the cat and dog on the lot ran to it. the dog barked and the cat hissed at it. entertaining none the less, rather cute too :)

[~Squash-buddy-ven~]

I learned that sims can jump into the pool from the edge.. It looks so cute when they do it..
And the animations when they play catch are so cute.. When they throw the other a hard ball and they complain, they just shrug, smile and say something like "Too bad!" :D

[Member789]

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys! :anime: I do sometimes hear splashing like somebody is using the bathroom, even though there's no sim there. Maybe it's the invisible alien I mentioned before?

[HCAC]

I found out that Sims can get a cold. I know before Seasons they could get the flu or the vague 'sick' but today my Sims got a cold and were sneezing. I think this is new.

[Henry Crun]

I found out that Sims can get a cold. I know before Seasons they could get the flu or the vague 'sick' but today my Sims got a cold and were sneezing. I think this is new.

I haven't got seasons yet but I hear that sims can now get allergies which makes them sneeze.

[Canoodle]

You can nuke the offworld lurkers with Pescado's lotdebugger at MATY.

[lazyviolet]

sims will actually talk about stuff that happened to them. one of my sims was telling another about how he burned some food.

hhhehehe sim kids puke after spinning fast on that toy you make with the toy bench!

[xXharp_babyXx]

I discovered that adults can play tag with their kids, and that my Axel-Sim lights faaaar too many fires to be considered sane :giggler:

[venusdemilosims]

sims will actually talk about stuff that happened to them. one of my sims was telling another about how he burned some food.

I found out the other day that they will congratulate each other on stuff that happened. One of my sims was congratulating the other for making the dean's list.

[Menaceman44]

I discovered that adults can play tag with their kids, and that my Axel-Sim lights faaaar too many fires to be considered sane :giggler:

I think the adults playing tag thing is a game glitch. I only ever have the option the very first time I play a house (not every time either) and the animations just look wrong. I contacted EA and they said it shouldn't be an option BUT it must be MY fault it shows up because I use mods and hacks.

[coltraz]

I found out the other day that they will congratulate each other on stuff that happened. One of my sims was congratulating the other for making the dean's list.

Yeah, I saw a Sim congratulate someone because she had 5 best friends. lol

[Ghost sdoj]

I saw a child congratulating her father on "woohoo with 5 service sims"! But she was still furious whenever her mom or her dad cheated on each other. (Two married romance sims and a toddler made in CAS.)

[Chandi]

I discovered that when people that have Nightlife say that their Sims got aggressive, well, they weren't lying...

[Julieth]

I learned that any sims the social worker takes are adopted before any maxis kids! I think I'm going to make a family of pretty kids and then let the social worker take them ALL.:flamer:

[khakido]

I found that ea put new seasons paintings in the custom paintings folder for our high creativity sims to paint.

[negneg189]

I found out that my sim can ride the refrigerator! It's so cute.

[chnnature]

That's what I often do

[Ghost sdoj]

Yes, a ghost will be upset if people criticize his lovely painting!
Now the next question: If a ghost who died with a LTW of graduating 3 children from college is out haunting when the third child graduates, does the ghost get his Perma-Plat? (This one will take a while. The twins aren't born yet, and the oldest boy is just finishing up as a toddler. But I know it's twins because he fed his wife a lovely plate of cheesecake after he got her pregnant. He is already an Elder with 9 days left, so he will be a ghost by the time the kids are in college.)

[Elspeth_SC]

I discovered both the 'cheer up' option and that apparently when one sims cheers up another they can fall in love! I had 2 female sims with high friendsship scores, one cheers up the other and suddenly there's pink and red hearts all over the place!. very wierd.

woah, Rally Forth death is new to me

woah, Rally Forth death is new to me

how do you die from rally forth?

[raven_girl]

Done a lot today but the girls in my family missed school, I was being the Dad and I totally forgot I had to be the girls to put them on the school bus must remember to do that in future

[moo_beebi]

how do you die from rally forth?

i guess if your motives aren't very high you'll die right after and your ghost has a megaphone! LOL

[chnnature]

Nope, no patches. I only have the base game so I don't have university either.

[Modestgurl88]

That children puke after riding that spin toy from OFB. It has never happened to me before but Jill from Strangetown puked all over the place and I only had her spinning slow :(

[Seiza]

That sims need SPACE to die. My burglar was surviving on 0 hunger for several days in his little prison. He finally kicked it when I moved him out to the lawn in frustration.

[raven_girl]

As a newbie I'm discovering stuff you lot probably did years ago last night I created my first baby and it was hard I tell you, having to find the bottle to feed her and making sure to do her diapers because the sims i'm not acting are not guranteed to do it

[treeag]

I found out that my sim can ride the refrigerator! It's so cute.
huh? how do you do that? :blink:

[Henry Crun]

If they are playful enough they swing on the fridge door to raise their fun level.


EDIT: I found a picture of one of my sims doing this.

[Black_Barook!]

Well I had a problem that was nagging me in the back of my head and I really didn’t give it much thought for three years now…but today I thought why not try it our.

I can’t really explain this well but here goes…

One road in SimCity with no tile in it = One road that can fit a lot from Marysue’s lots…the smallest one.

One road in SimCity with one tile = One road that can fit a 3x3 Lot

One road in SimCity with four tiles = One road that can fit a 5x5 Lot

One road in SimCity with nine tiles = One road that can fit a 7x7 Lot…which doesn’t exist as far as I know…

[Slytherin-Girl]

That having quads will be the death of poor Brandi Broke. Seriously, there were smelly bottles everywhere, all the toddlers seemed to be stinky all the time, and they nearly got taken by the social worker. I had to age them to child with insim to save the poor woman's sanity.

Also that sims can get the fear of "growing old without being married"

[raven_girl]

I'm struggling just with the one baby

[Menaceman44]

I discovered that if there is a really tired toddler but no crib, the adults will repeatedly try to wash them in any available bath tub even if their hygene bar is full!

[Aries_SC]

Pregnant sims sorta edge down the stairs carefully - except they look more like they're tiptoeing.

[coltraz]

that you get the option to "tune" your piano.

[Sizza]

That when my sims go to sleep on their own(I'm not telling them to) they go to sleep in their undies. No bigge except when their undies are invisable, then it can be either awkward or very funny

[Julieth]

That when a parent and their kid sit on the couch together, I get the option to snuggle, and it's so cute!

That Flirt options decrease the higher the couple's relationship with each other. O_o I must have not noticed it before since I always start anew, but now several of my couples are down to around five flirt options-- stuff like Suggestion and Charm are completely gone!

[Aryxa]

That the cheerleaders are dumb and annoying. One came over to my uni house, sat in the hot tob until she burst into flames, set fire to my self-sim and her fiance! They both died, but thankfully one of the other housemates did some nifty pleading and saved them both.
Then the stupid cheerleader wipes her sweaty dumb head, and, instead of going to get a drink to cool off... gets back in the hot tub!!!

GGGrr!!!

[raven_girl]

I got a visit from the social bunny

This was also discussed on the Dinnerbell (at simlogical.com) a while ago. The formula was 1 Sim City square = 2 Sims 2 squares, plus 1. So if you want to place rectangles with lots that sit next to each other without a road between them, that is how to tell what size you need.

[I_Love_Simming]

A toddler can climb out of its crib! she was getting really cranky about not being let out so she stuck her head out, looked both ways and climbed out

[coltraz]

That there can be a MALE maid!!! I took a photo of him, i was so impressed.

[becklynn]

k, the toddler thing is news to me! i'll have to leave my toddler in her crib a bit longer to see! :D

i saw a french fry woman! someone who knows a bit more than me please tell me who she is, and why she's in a french fry suit. :P

i took some pics! these are while my sim was in a community lot downtown:

I learned how to extract a sim using sim pe not really during, but hey, i've been wanting to extract a few for awhile! yay!

[Jsare]

well, today I discovered pregnant sims can't clean the kitty litter. Kinda makes sense really. Is this true for anyone else or is my game misbehaving?

With the culinary career reward, the candy making machine, sims will repeatedly stuff their faces with the candy whilst selling the candy.
Very funny!

[coltraz]

With the culinary career reward, the candy making machine, sims will repeatedly stuff their faces with the candy whilst selling the candy.

I think they only do that when they're not fully experianced. That or their personality... Because I have one Sim who's at the top of the culinary career and she doesn't eat any, but her husband and son both do.

[AdmiralAeris]

Whether they eat the candy or not is tied to cooking skill -- sims with full cooking skill never eat the candy (as then the only point of them using it is to make money). (And if they are at the top of the culinary career then they definitely have full cooking skill!)

[Luvnme]

well, today I discovered pregnant sims can't clean the kitty litter. Kinda makes sense really. Is this true for anyone else or is my game misbehaving?

No your game isn't misbehaving. :lol:

[stariscool]

Today I discovered that the flowers you get from a date can be place on top of one of the short dressers. Well I only tried it on the Seasons dresser but i'm assuming it can be done with all of them.

[raven_girl]

Learned a few things today as I now have most of the expansions

[louisacoletta]

A message to all ye simmers, do NOT try to kill a baby with the insimenator. or with any other hack or mod out there. Because your game will face serious complications after that, and might explode into bag of poo.
i discovered this today. i didnt want the baby (cuz i was sure it would turn out ugly like the father anyway, so i tried to use the insimenator to kill the baby. I got interaction "call Neighbour" with all characters in the game available in the phone book including the grim reaper and bird, penguin etc. so i called the grim reaper. nothing happened. the nanny started to get stuck in the house. and all sorts of horrible things followed. i exited to the hood without saving.

Moral of the Story: Do Not Try To Kill Babies. They Are Invincible.

okay, forgot, I discover that the latest patch, for instant seasons patch only patch season game it does not patch the whole of your sims game, so if you have all the game you have to patch them individually.

It goes like that "Remove 1/2 of all downloads to a folder somwhere else, start the game and see if it crashes, and that way you know in wich alf the problem is. Continue until you find the exact file". As I said, very boring.

[redaeroplane]

+ Teens can have food fights with adults. I don't know why this surprised me. I guess I just always thought it was an adult-to-adult kind of "flirt" thing.
+ When it rains, there is a cool animation on the roof to make it look like the rain is cascading down.
+ Sims can have a fear of someone else becoming stinky (he wasn't a neat sim, he wasn't turned off by stink, and was only at like 50 relationship or something with the maid and yet was very afraid she would becoming stinky... weird.)
+ Flying a kite in a storm will likely get you struck by lightening. Duh. Should known.
+ Sims can autonomously fix things. I'm glad he had a good mechanical skill.

[Aryxa]

My game is stupid. It crashed today, but in the weirdest way. My sims just froze, as if I'd paused them, but I hadn't. Everything else worked, I could pause, select things, use the camera, buy mode... but my sims just stood frozen in whatever they had been doing. I exited to the neighbourhood, came back and they were still like that. I'm going to try loading the game again later and see if that makes any difference... grr.

Although I did discover Sims can fear the photobooth... I had a pleasure Sim on a date who didn't want to go in the photobooth or have her picture taken with her date... weird.

Today I learned that when your house exceeds 8 people/pets the Aspiration rewards and the Career rewards become un-selectable. One of my pets gave birth to puppies, I hadnt even realize there were 9 in the house until I went to go get a reward and realized the option was not there. I gave a pet to a friend and the reward options came back. I thought that was weird.

The other thing I realized (duh) was that I could make use of all those small box houses that are downtown by adding basements to them, twice the space instantly.

One last thing that's kind of funny. A family that was recently robbed, the two twin toddlers have 'see the ghost of Russ' as a want. Russ was the name of the robber, so basically they want him dead. LoL I've seen adults have this want too.

Although I did discover Sims can fear the photobooth... I had a pleasure Sim on a date who didn't want to go in the photobooth or have her picture taken with her date... weird.


That happens with shy sims. (I know the feeling myself. My mom used to joke that half the pictures of me when I was a kid included somebody's arm hauling me back into the picture.)

I have had my sims wanting to see the ghost of the burglar too. Including the two rather nice sims. I figured that they weren't going to talk their (0 nice points) mom out of luring the guy over and shooting him, then smashing the urn. SO they have their ghost now....

My Sims got burgled, and they both had wants to drink the burglar (I'm guessing with the cowplant) Then their baby (unborn at the time of the burglary) got the want too...

I never knew cops could lose to burglars. "Next time, burglar, next time I'll get you!"
I wish you could like boo the cop or something.

My game is stupid. It crashed today, but in the weirdest way. My sims just froze, as if I'd paused them, but I hadn't. Everything else worked, I could pause, select things, use the camera, buy mode... but my sims just stood frozen in whatever they had been doing. I exited to the neighbourhood, came back and they were still like that. I'm going to try loading the game again later and see if that makes any difference... grr.

This has happened to me too. Also, I get this terrible glitch EVERY TIME I PLAY where the sims and the bubbles that popup in the upper right corner (So and so's grades are improving! for example) all get stuck going back and forth from the last action to the current action (back and forth, over and over.) I'm not explaining that very well. Anyway, the only way to cure it is to exit to the neighborhood and come back :gonemad:

I had it once where my husband and wife sims just kept handing the baby back and forth to each other. Leaving the neighborhood didn't help and all the other houses were glitchy as well.

Turns out that I had forgotten that I had put the basic game on an external hard drive and loaded the base game again and then the EPs onto my main drive (on a mac) and so it was getting confused over which basic game it was supposed to access. I had to delete everything and start over again fresh.

Thanks, I'll give that a try. :)

I discovered that it can get so HOT outside that the whole yard will start on fire... I had two sims having a water balloon fight outside, I left them to check up on the kid inside, and returned to find the whole yard on fire.... i almost lost both of the parents and the nanny that way, luckily a group of fireman were called to put it out!

-by the way, the forecast was that it was "insanely" hot outside... yes I can see that.

I learnt that you don't need any burglar alarms if you have a car alarm installed, or maybe it was just that he tried to steal the car. What's up with me and burglars lately?
Also, they use the same animation when they play ssx 3 and sim city 4. That was a bit dissapointing.

I've never had a burglar in the Sims 2. I've been playing at least twice a week since the game came out. I had them all the time in Sims 1. What's the deal?

I learned that when sims make out for a long time, their heat level goes up! :D This made me laugh hysterically!

They aren't as frequent in Sims2 as they were in sims 1. I almost think the reason I got this one was only because I had gone back to slow time while everybody was asleep to see if the second moon would drift any closer to the first one so I could get a sky shot of the two moons. (And to see if the progression through the sky was logical or random.) So of course I had to spend 3 sim hours dealing with the burglar and the aftermath.

But the moons do drift through the sky, because the second moon had set by the time I got back to it.

The sim-sun moves! So cool!

pregnant women carnt have pillow fights...because a PILLOW really is gonna harm a baby isn't it.

[Lina_SC]

actually it's not that, lol.
it makes sense though, at least in real life you jump on beds and you try to grab pillows from their hands and knock them over and struggle. I guess that's why they put it there.

[I_Love_Simming]

Its not like unborn babys can be harmed in the sims anyway xD

Today I realised that in Autumn, it only takes 5 Sim hours for a Sim to write a novel. And that was with no knowledge aspiration cap, but 8-10 points creativity. Very useful for my retired Sims!
