Default Files and sites
Good morning and good Sunday.
I had a problem with my computer and all the saved files and sites were lost.
I would need some files that I will list below.
I hope to receive the help of all of you.
________________________________________________________________

1 - Some tips and useful programs before downloading items, houses, clothes for the game
2 - Improve game graphics
3 - I remember there was a way to change the water, the landscape of the game, making it more realistic
4 - How to change the water of a pool (for example, have it more crystal clear like this image below)
https://66.media.tumblr.com/1c9b209...s4459o1_400.jpg
5 - I had hack files where the washing machine worked and one where the iron worked.
6 - I really like modern, luxurious houses that have a style like that of the sims 3 or 4 and that are already provided with various accessories. (I'll leave a sample link below)
Can you tell me where to find them?

http://modthesims.info/d/427551/emphatic-villa.html
7 - There were two hacks to make young people fall in love with the elderly and also one where you could have an abortion.
8 - There were boards to put on the shelves to put multiple objects on top of a table, a piece of furniture or on the counter. I don't have them anymore and I remember that once I downloaded them I couldn't use them. Can you give me the link back and explain how they work?
9 - Is there a possibility of having more than 8 characters or a way to have a larger family tree?
10 - Is there anything like that for the sims 2?
http://prntscr.com/rkp26i
http://prntscr.com/rkp2lp
11 - Where can I find MODERN items to decorate the house? Like branded foods, foam baths or branded tricks (I leave examples below)
Like branded foods, foam baths or branded tricks (I leave examples below)

- https://www.liquidsims.com/wp-conte...revue_big-1.jpg

12 - There were objects that really worked and weren't just decorative. For example,:

- Fryer to make chips you can eat
- Ice creams you can make and eat
- Pizza you can make and eat
- Working ATM

And other similar objects that work.

______________________________________________________________
I apologize for these many requests, but I am an Italian girl and I do not understand the English language well and for me it is not easy to find things and understand how to install them or where to download them. In addition, many links no longer work.

For now, I'm going to stop here.
I await answers and will continue to use the same post for more questions.

To start you off, mustluvcatz has a couple of functional washing machines - here, with a link to another on their own site.

Have fun setting everything up again!

1. Use the Sims2Pack Clean Installer to install lots and sims into your game. You will be able to choose what you want to include or leave out. This is helpful if a lot includes mods or CC that you do not want in your game.

9. To have more than 8 sims living on a lot, you can use BoilingOil's "Unlimited Sims" mod.

1. As well as CI and an unzipping program, I just use WinRAR but there is 7Zip.
You will want Hood Checker to keep your hood clean. http://modthesims.info/d/456523/hoo...ry-11-2013.html SimPE http://modthesims.info/d/30839/simp...sion-0-75f.html Not sure on this version as I still use 73. I believe Chris Hatch has a version out too.

Lot Compressor with add on by CH https://simfileshare.net/download/479352/ this is for cleaning lots of sim references. My tutorial here: http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=609188

Thank you very much.
Today I will try to read everything you have recommended.
It's not easy for me, likely I'll ask for a hand.
Sorry about this disturbance.

Can someone answer the other questions?
I have more questions to ask today.



13 - Does it exist for sims 2, such a realistic trick? Like mascara and even eyebrows? I attach images as examples
https://66.media.tumblr.com/fcc58b3...uk16ko1_400.png
https://www.pngjoy.com/pngm/356/664...-cc-mac-png.png
https://www.makeuptipstrends.com/ma...4-Downloads.jpg

14 - I know that many images are edited with photoshop, but is there a way to create realistic characters on the game? With shapes and not that they're all structured the same? For example, these photos:
(Some women have large or small breasts, wider hips, while men have hairy chest or arms or arm and also have tattoos.. I also saw muscular and less muscular males)

14. Although some hair and tattoos are just painted on the skintones, there also are overlays to allow hair and tattoos. I don't use overlays but perhaps someone else can provide links for those.

There are many different body shapes available. I have a large number, both male and female, in my game. But each bodyshape requires it's own meshes, both nude meshes and clothing meshes. If you want the shape to be able to be passed on to future generations, then you also have to have a separate skintone for it. Using different bodyshapes WILL require you to download more custom content. And since the game wasn't designed for them, there can be clipping issues when those bodyshapes interact with other Sims.

Here are a couple of links to start with:
Male: Marvine and Beosboxboy Custom Body Meshes
Female: Warlokk's Tower

13. I use a bunch of makeup/brows from Bruno https://modthesims.info/browse.php?...Type=1&&u=11431 and you can find helpful links to lots of that type of cc here https://sssvitlans.tumblr.com/sims2cc .

I downloaded this, but it doesn't work. Maybe (definitely) I'm wrong. Can you explain to me how to install and use it?

You also need your sim number cheat file set up. Do you have a cheat file?

Mine is
uintProp maxTotalSims 55
uintProp maxTotalHumans 40
uintProp maxTotalPets 15

One deals with the game growing the amount of sims/pets through birth adn the other about moving more in.

Just download this (has only 3 exact cheat codes mentioned there) and plop it to your config folder in documents > sims 2 folder. (If you're playing UC, then UC folder obviously)

You will want some more cheats in there than just those.

Some cheats are set to always on. Along with the number of sims I have angled furniture always on, Hood deco on and other things on.

Then below that are shortened cheats. So instead of typing some long cheat out and having to remember it you can have them with short alias'.
So for example instead of typing 'setQuarterTilePlacement on' to get the quarter tile cheat you have it set to something short like 'tileon'

There are plenty of cheat files pasted to MTS but if you can't find any we all have our own version that we can paste in for you.

So I'll copy these codes here
http://prntscr.com/rmgnbw
I've seen that there are many codes.
What are they for? Don't need to type codes on the bar anymore?
Or does it allow me to type them in abbreviated?

Different codes do different things. Some codes will run automatically when you start your game. Aliases will allow you to use shorter commands in the cheat bar.

Here is an example of an alias from my game. With this, if I want to turn off the floor grid in Build and Buy mode, I only need to remember to type gridoff instead of that long boolprop command.
Code:
alias gridoff "boolprop showFloorGrid false"
alias gridon "boolprop ShowFloorGrid true"

These are some codes which run automatically when the game starts. Many players of Sims 2 use these particular codes. The first line turns on the cheat that allows you to control cats and dogs (and vacation guests and apartment room-mates).
The second line allows you to cancel an action from a pet's queue.
The third line affects the Buy Mode object catalog. The game will now show which expansion pack or stuff pack each Maxis object came from.
Code:
boolprop controlpets on
boolprop petactioncancel true
boolprop showcatalogepflags true

If you have questions about what the codes do, just ask us.

Thank you for your patience.
I would now like to add these codes:

boolProp allow45degreeAngleOfRotation true (allows me to rotate furniture to 45 degrees)
moveObjects on (It allows me to put objects on top of others)
boolProp snapobjectstogrid true (Allows me to select objects off the grid)

I do copy and paste on the notes block and then if I want to disable I write on the bar
mon/moff
snapon/snapoff


Do I get it right?

This one can be entered as you have written it. If you would like to make a note to yourself explaining what this does, you can use the # sign like this example.
Code:
boolProp allow45degreeAngleOfRotation true
# allows me to rotate furniture to 45 degrees

Yes, that's right. I use the same aliases in my game.
Code:
alias mon "moveObjects on"
alias moff "moveObjects off"

alias snapoff "boolProp snapObjectsToGrid false"
alias snapon "boolProp snapObjectsToGrid true"

THANKS <3


I still need these things:

1 - A bank fuctions
- An ice cream parlour that really makes ice cream.
- Something nice that works to use (pizza oven, sushi, varied food)


And then, I would like to understand, how to also make the crystal clear water of the pools like these photos.
