I do the same! It also gives me a chance to look at any new clothes or hair I've put into the game.

For Sims2, a mod which will reset the follow-up phone calls following a date. You know the ones I mean where a phone call comes in from a previously unknown Sim introducing themselves and asking if you'd like to go downtown.

Unfortunately if the dating Sim (let's call him Fred) has moved to a new lot (or died) before taking the call, every night thereafter the "unknown" Sim calls and says "Fred isn't home? Okay thanks, I'll call back later." And he/she calls back the next night and the next night and the next night. Unfortunately, Fred has been dead for many days and won't be coming to the phone. I want that call to stop!


The Global Op-Code 0x000003AB (Phone - Can this neighbor call?) is probably the culprit, it adequately tests the caller Nid but not the receiver Nid. It's not used by any phone calls because they have their own test so it is only by other things without direct access to phone call semi-globals like the date reward controller.

as far as I recall, shipped version of game automatically centers on pregnant sims at each transition of pregnancy states.

I wish there was a hack that had gardening (or tending crops) to make the cleaning trait increase. It increases the Nature hobby, which itself is triggered by the cleaning trait, so why not gardening?

I always though nature was kind of the opposite of cleaning (and it seems to mainly be the hobby of sloppy sims). If anything, I'd want a hack that stopped learning cleaning from giving nature enthusiasm.

Yeah, but it doesn't also give you a message saying randomise now. XD

THANKS Chris! This did the trick. First, I went to "Fred's" former lot, fast-forwarded to around 6:30 PM and verified that the call came in. I quit without saving and installed your fix. I then went back to the same lot, fast-forwarded to 6:30 PM and no call came in. Just to be sure, I went all the way until midnight and the phantom caller didn't call asking for non-resident (dead) Fred. So I believe that took care of it.

I'll keep playing with the fix in place and will let you know if I find anything unusual with it. THANKS again!

I wish the ivy wall decoration would actually change color with the seasons... climbing vines like that, at least where I live, are some of the most striking fall colors, but in the game, they just stay green and lush year-round...

Bunk Beds that don't flash blue.. Hehe.

Don't get me wrong, I love Michelle's bunk beds but I can't help queuing things for my Sims ready for when they wake up. If I don't queue anything, I forget what I'm doing with the Sim. If I do queue something, the Sim "jumps" or there's an error and the whole bed frame flashes blue... Shame, really..

I already got told this would happen by Bulbizarre but I didn't think it would happen consistently, LOL. I ended up removing them..

Although the animations are a bit weird (Sim gets into bed at ground-level and then suddenly snaps upward), Veranka has a bunk bed in the Coffee Bean Hipster Loft set that doesn't flash.

@mdsb759 - I also wouldn't mind an option to change all the subhoods' seasons at the same time. I had to go through the process of changing the seasons of 20 subhoods. Twice. It crashed the first time.

You know what this game needs? A bird-feeding bench. A sim sits on it and one of the options is "feed birds" and a mixed flock of pigeons, sparrows, and blackbirds gathers around.

If placed on a beach lot, it also draws gulls; but after awhile the gulls attack, grab the bag of birdseed, and fight over it.

Good idea, Peni. I recall a very long time ago a modder made a 'feeding pigeon flock' which would do exactly that. Can't recall who it was. Pretty cool I thought..maybe Rebecah?

Not Rebecah, because I remember asking her for that. She said she'd try, but never got around to it. I'd be interested as well if someone actually made it.

I would love to see some of the stuff from ts3 converted and functional to ts2, like the snowboard station, the water ski, the wave board, windsurf...

Don't know if it's been mentioned, but here's something I dearly wish would be made:

A hack to disable that 'zoom in' action that happens when a pixel goes into labor. I really hate that. It's annoying and useless.

Monique made this one. It's old, so you might want to test it first to make sure it's compatible with your game.

Does it use an NPC for the birds?

If you crack the file open in SimPE you can see in there whether it has an NPC or not. Forgot the exact details of it though.

Direct link doesn't work for me, either. I guess I'll have to content myself with Sophie David's lot-down pigeon effects until we finally upgrade our computer.
