Now all that is missing is tips on how to make multi-sims poses and posing with objects (sim sitting on chair etc...) and with props.
I have some ideas, but...it's just ideas.


But then, it would not have been realistic. Yeah, I said realistic!
Ok, I admit, it mostly depends on your reference..Walking Dead or World War Z...lol

Realism is boring! Zombies walk way too slow to get anything done, anyways.

If you want World War Z or 28 Days Later zombies, you could always use Pescado's zombieapoc and Always Run or Zombies Walk Normally. There's also editing their personalities and circumstances to make them more aggressive. I don't know if Zombie Disease works, but it seems that you'll want to think carefully before using that one based on the comments (SDHB-inducing?).

Why do my sims go to finals in UNDERWEAR or PAJAMAS?

I REFOUND THE HAIR ONE OF MY FIRST SIMS 2-SIMS HAD!

I'm sorry for the caps, I'm so excited. Somewhere back in 2013, before a lot of cleaning, it was in my Downloads folder, and somehow it disappeard. Now it's back !

Because they're in college, they're tired, and they don't give a care.

So...the opposite of caregivers.

I mean, clearly the college doesn't have a problem with it. I would too!

... Or a certain flash animated "Zombie Jamboree" music video :D

I got curious about the dishwasher and found this: https://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/...d_like_viruses/



CNET (beware of the annoying autoplay video) seems to think they ARE viruses: https://www.cnet.com/news/viruses-b...of-sims-2-life/

Stuff like that can be simulated by employing Sub-Neighbourhoods, though. Pleasantview is overrun with zombies so the survivors flee to Strangetown, etc. And I currently have a Sim who hides from his family in a desert subhood.

I'm mostly frustrated that I can't move an occupied house from one subhood to another without moving everyone out first.

Well it's not quite easy to move the houses anyway... especially the big mansions so that's kinda realistic. Except that is... when the lot is transported by an alien tractor beam and taken either to another location on earth or to another planet altogether so the human inhabitants can be used as guinea pigs for a 'study' to see if they will make good slaves.

I once watched a house (not a trailer, but an actual house) carried on the back of a truck.

Moving houses isn't even that unusual. Moving them with people in them, however, is very strange and should not be happening. It's dangerous.

Storytime.
Once upon a time, in 1985 to be precise, there was a big fight going on between developers and the San Antonio Conservation Society, because the developers wanted to build a big mall right in downtown San Antonio - literally two doors down from the Alamo - and their plans called for incorporating some of the buildings in the area and tearing the rest down. And some of these buildings didn't matter but the Conservation Society stood fast on the Fairmont Hotel. They wouldn't allow it to be torn down, and they even got a buyer for it; but the mall developers had a deal with the Marriot chain (which now has two hotels there, one in the mall and one directly across the street) and wouldn't accommodate their plans to leave room for the Fairmont to function. So the only solution was to pick up the hotel and move it to property owned by the purchasers, six blocks away.

Now, there are two problems with this. One, no building as big as the Fairmont had ever been moved before. Two, since the Fairmont's old and new locations were both just off the San Antonio River, those six little blocks contained more than one bridge; and we're not talking a bridge over an open park or a drainage ditch, either, we're talking bridges over the San Antonio Riverwalk, lined with shops, restaurants, a hotels, photo ops, art sales, strolling tourists, you name it. Even in the off-season it can be hard to get through the crowds on the sidewalks on that part of the river. And some of those bridges hadn't been significantly upgraded since the Riverwalk was built in the 20s and 30s. So they needed to engineers to figure out the best route to follow and how to ensure that no disaster occurred at any of these bridges.

So this job was undertaken by the Guido Bros. engineering firm (they've heard all the Mafia jokes, shut up). And they did all the calculations and supervised the supports and the loading and everything necessary to make the process safe. And the president of the firm, the top Guido Brother, made it a point to stand under each bridge as the Fairmont passed over it, reputedly saying: "If the thing collapses, I'd rather be down here than up there."

Nothing collapsed, the Fairmont is operating as a hotel, the Guido Bros. are still in business, and it's all in the Guinness Book of World Records for Heaviest Building Ever Moved.

For anybody curious, here's a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0oNEeULPs_Q

That's a cool story.

I have another from my days of delivering newspapers. One of the houses I was supposed to deliver the paper to actually disappeared overnight. It was torn down or something and there wasn't even any rubble, just a patch of dirt. Had to call the newspaper distribution place and they thought I was joking until they went up to look themselves. They told me not to bother delivering the newspaper.

People say they play sims to alleviate stress. Meanwhile in my game: I'm having a wedding party, but the guests leave in the middle of it due to a fire, so I have to call them again, and at the same time the Headmaster comes for a visit that I forgot so I have to show him around and entertain him all of a sudden, and I need to get good pictures before it turns dark. Just a normal day in The Sims 2.

Oh man, same here.

Me: Today was blergh, let's wind down a bit with Sims 2.
*opens the next household in the rotation, there's two bawling babbehs, a toddler that still needs to be taught two of her skills, one of the adults badly needs skills for a promotion and two more friends so they can finally afford the much needed expansion to their house...and the grandparents need their golden anniversary before they pass on. Then there's a kitchen fire*
Me:

He gets me EVERY time. Oh, crap! It's 5:00! The baby needs to be fed, teen is on the phone, another kid is in the bath and dad is at work. Thank goodness I am big on keeping prepared food in the fridge and inventory. Reduce stress? Stephen Tinker got burned up in a kitchen fire, (horrible, I know), but then Wanda went down with him. Melody just graduated college and went down, too. So did the maid Remington Harris. Then, I moved in the Newsons, (gag), they got the kids taken away in a matter of a day. I was speed playing, waiting for the ghosts to pop up. Ginger and Gavin both ended up with aspiration failure and smashed all the graves, ( I had no idea that could happen), then they both died from being scared to death... Now Julien Cooke is staying in the house until everyone haunts so my undertaker can come get them... No, no... Not stressful at all...

I think a good quarter of my time playing TS2 is troubleshooting weird issues that crop up in my game.

This is why I build things instead of playing them. Things don't burn down while you're building them.

Except maybe your computer if the lot's big enough.

When you find cc that's absolutely perfect, only to find it's for Sims 1! You'd think I would have noticed from the way the objects were displayed. I did see a Sims 1 wallpaper that I recognised having put in the Goth house. It made me smile. Ah, memories...

Edit: Too many hamsters around here...

Is thinking about all the hamsters/flutterby replies that won't make sense in 2 weeks when everyone will have their avatar back...

It was a mass hallucination.
