My Sims 2 Mod WIPs & Ideas

A list of mods for The Sims 2 I am either working on or have plans/ideas for

Coming Soon

Mods I have created but am yet to upload

  • A standalone fix for apartment mail extracted from AL Fixes. Its generally accepted that you can get rid of AL Fixes and replace anything useful it did with other mods but I found without it I was getting errors with the Apartment Mailbox which seemed to go away when I extracted the fix for it from AL Fixes. I'm not entirely sure if this is a fluke or what but maybe it could help others.

  • A mod that tweaks the stats of Maxis Food - it makes how much hunger is satisfied by each dish more logical and makes sims eat faster, and more. Plus, a few other tweaks like the meal times some dishes are available and some renames etc. I've also edited several custom foods to bring them in line with this new system so it would be cool to be able to share those too but that might be a permissions nightmare!

  • A mod that makes it so sims' hunger need decays 2x faster. This complements the mod above since they eat each meal faster so there's more time in the day for more meals. This means more family meals, sims often actually needing to eat 3 meals a day, and an actual use for snacks & desserts.

  • Tuning for the Restaurant Podium so that a sim's hunger must be lower before they can autonomously use it. I made this for TeaAddict but don't use it myself.

  • Remove restriction of having to be on a residential lot to use the genie wish.

  • An edit of LeeFish's Skill Building Toy Garage so that it builds Tinkering enthusiasm.

  • A patch for Piqiwi's Hang Out After Work, Lazy Duchess' Job Reject, and Monique's Work & Bring Home Friend Dialog Updated to AL by timberllania to make the text compatible.

  • A Re-upload & Edit of Beck's Pickable Flowers so that they are OFB Stockable from the Inventory without charge and a few other things. The link to the original is no longer available.

  • A mod that makes the picked Hydroponic Flowers sellable in OFB Businesses and so that they restock from the Inventory without charge.

  • My Live.package which is the townie name pool. I made this years ago and I'm not exactly sure what methods I used to choose the names.

Work in Progress

WIP Mods I have started and am yet to finish

  • A mod for Less Autonomous Fighting with Traits Support so that sims with only certain personality and/or traits requirements will autonomously use negative interactions; attack, poke, shove, slap, argue and throw drink. I'm not sure whether to cover more interactions such as insult, torment, tease, gross out, noogie, belch at, Annoy/Nyah Nyah or to just leave it with what I have so far. I also need to incorporate Lenna's Fight Fix.

  • An update to my Stockable Foods which includes more food deco objects, particularly bakery items, and some fixes to some food points that were previously too high. There's some more foods I want to add to this and I also need to take some screenshots and check/get permissions from the authors of the original deco items I've made stockable.

  • Tweaks and Loner Trait Integration to BO's Less Toddler Annoyance. I can't remember what tweaks I actually made so I need to retrace my steps and I'd ideally like to properly manage the conflict with Nopke's Edit of Fewer Toddler Asking Fails.

  • Tweaks and nerfs to Piqiwi's Hang Out After Work and Prom + After School Activity. I should also edit it further so that they don't return from Prom with quite so little Energy.

  • My Wants.package that combines several mods for those that thought they could only use one Wants.package mod or don't like having to have several packages with this name in different subfolders. I'd need to check which mods I combined and make sure the permissions would be ok.

  • My WantTuning that lowers the requirements for some LTWs such as 5 top business to 2 and 50 dates to 20. This is an edit of Lamare's file from the 50 New LTWs so I'd have to make sure I had permission and also consider making a standalone version.

  • My WantTrees, I can't remember exactly what I've changed in these so thats a problem I'd need to investigate. It definitely includes Going Steady for Adults and my own tweaks to make the Hustle Pool want roll less often (it used to be everywhere in my game), and I think some other things. I think I started working on incorporating the fix for the Marriage Breakup want but not sure if I finished, and there's some other tweaks I'd like to make too.

Plans & Ideas

Mod ideas I hope/plan to make soon

  • New Memories (that get applied automatically): Got Struck by Lightning, Made Friends with, Stopped being Enemies with, Got Sent Back to Public School / Kicked out of Private School, Gave Pet Up for Adoption, and perhaps a few more.

  • Different Icons for the memories about other sims so its easier to tell at a glance whether the memory is about themselves or a family member.

  • New Traits and effect mods for them: some of the Sims 3 Reward Traits, some Sims 4 traits not in Sims 3 (both CAS and Reward), and some brand new ones like Political, Health/Fitness Enthusiast, Fashionable, etc.

  • Tweaks to the meal serving times since I find 10am far too early for lunch, it should still be breakfast.

  • Turning these vegetarian food replacers into standalone alternatives.

  • Restrict the Sell Pet Want so it can't roll as often, probably with traits support too.

  • Restrict the Pet Leaves Family Fear so it can't roll as often, such as requiring friendship and probably traits support too.

  • Restrict or block the Want to Become a Werewolf so it can't roll as often or at all.

  • Lower threshold for growing up badly, I think sims at the very bottom of positive aspiration should still grow up badly and not just those who are deep in the red.

  • Tweak & Fix Piqiwi's Holidays in more ways: 1) so that sims will still receive their pay even if they are off the lot (like with community time) at the time they'd usually get paid, 2) to restore the missing 'walk to work' action, 3) to fix work sometimes never starting again after a holiday without forcing off world errors (the carpool not coming, not getting pushed to drive to work, no penalty for missing work, etc.).

  • Tweak the Classic Dance for Family Mod so that it is platonic for everybody, so friends could do it without triggering jealousy.

  • Add the ability to use the sell/give pet interaction on other lots like community lots or when you're playing as another household and have made the sim selectable. Not sure if this is possible yet.

  • Make all Hobbies Fun, for example, sims with the Cuisine OTH (and perhaps with the Natural Cook Trait) should have their fun motive increase when cooking, etc.

  • More Repeatable Memories e.g. Death & Resurrection.

  • Reduce the Energy Rating of Cribs.

  • Make Community Time work the same way on Vacations too.

  • Make it so you get some money for giving puppies & kittens up for adoption (?)

  • Prevent Parents from taking Children home during Parties.

  • Add notification or popup camera for when Sims in University return home from class (?)

  • Restrict the want to buy an MP3 to only be able roll for sims with the Music & Dance Hobby or Virtuoso Trait and the the buy handheld want for only Games Hobby Sims & Computer Whizzes.

  • Restrict the want to Perform Music for Tips to only be able roll for sims with the Music & Dance Hobby or Virtuoso Trait.

  • Make it so that only sims with the Unlucky Trait have a chance of having a wall TV falling and breaking and it won't happen for any other sim.

  • Prevent Visitors from leaving when sims are asleep or off-world. This behavior really screws up my use of 'Ask to Watch Kids Enabled'.

  • Make it so that college professors lose relationship points with students that get on Academic Probation.

  • Stop Santa constantly using the toilet.

  • More edits to the WantTrees such as the wants to go on vacations more common for elders and pleasure sims, more common encouragement want, more chance for marriage & baby wants for some aspirations like popularity, etc.

  • I'd also really like to change the conditions for the Retirement Want rolling because I find it far too rare that it only rolls after they get their first grandchild, but I'm not sure that's possible.

  • Another want edit idea is to change the restrictions on which majors can roll for which aspirations (and maybe careers?), but again I'm not sure if that's possible yet.

  • An Edit of Cyjon's New Servos mod so that newly activated Servos get the same badges as the activator instead of random ones or none and so they also get the activator's interests.

  • An Edit of BO's Food Dish Autonomy that implements a check to see if there is currently a party going on and stops sims autonomously putting away leftovers if there is.

  • Revise the skills built in each career so they make more sense, such as removing the cooking skill from the Journalism Career.

  • Enable the 'Greet Everyone' interaction on Community Lots.

Wishlist

Mod ideas I have thought of but feel would be beyond my current capabilities or even not possible

  • A mod that would allow sims to perform for tips with the microphone

  • A way to increase the aspiration points cost of the aspiration rewards (I believe it is capped at around 32,000)

  • An overlay box for wrinkles that do not class as makeup

  • More skills or an expansion to the badge system that would make activities such as playing the guitar and painting improve separately

  • A mod that would allow non-students to visit community lots in University Subhoods

  • A mod that would make age difference affect chemistry / attraction scores

  • A mod that would allow romantic relationships between Teens and Young adults but not Teens and Adults

  • A new interaction on the Kitty Kraze Katnip Cat Toy to replace it (buy a new one without having to clean the old one up or go into buy mode)

  • A mod that would make it so that sims only serve food outside if the food was cooked on a grill

  • A new Influence interaction for Proposals
