Turns out I forgot to cover Report Card Fixes by LimeyYoshi which is a great mod, but the link & description of it can be found on the list with all the others! www.belladovah.com/post/new-sims-2-mods-released-in-q1-2024
Hi, May I request you for something. Can you try “Lot Income Rights” Mod + “MortgageShrubs” Mod by Simlogical as a showcase to us? Please. It is a very interesting mod that allows a player to play the playable sims as being a landlord of apartment lots and other types residential lots in the Sims 2 (And collecting incomes from them)
This really feels like the second golden age of The Sims 2. I am amazed at the magic the modders have made. Also a quick rememberance for those modders who have passed away but helped to create the building blocks that makes this game great. ETA: Polariod camera and the kleptomania trait finally gives me a reaason to send bad sims to jail. Thanks Belladovah ❤
Some people are insanely creative and talented, it makes me happy to see that there are still many Sims 2 players keeping the game alive today and making it better and better.
You’re so welcome! Thank you for your very handy cutaway roof pieces mod!🤩 I’ve never even used them since they seemed so awkward but your mod makes them practical so I’d look forward to giving them a try with it!
Wringer washers were what they used before modern washing machines. They started off as wood and metal, then metal than plastic. That one would be great for a 1920-1960 style game.
Thanks! That's so great to hear! I'll definitely keep that idea in mind, I do hope to do various mod showcase videos besides just the latest e.g. '10 mods for improved family gameplay' or something like that :)
First time watcher here! Found this vid very useful, wasn’t sure how the trait mod worked and now I’m excited to get it in my game and get back into sims 2! Subscribed 💕💕
Thank you very much for this very complete video 😍 What a joy to see this game which is always more and more complete thanks to all these incredible mods. Thank you to all the creators for what they do for our beloved Sims 2 💚💚💚
There is so much information in this video, I love the idea of this being a series. I have already been taking so many notes and I'm only halfway through the video. Going to continue tomorrow with some coffee and a fresh mind. 😄 Some of these mods I actually had already found in the last weeks, but also so many are completely new to me and very interesting! It's so hard to keep track of all of these cool mods coming out with all of these amazing creators still making so many cool new mods. I don't think I can tell you how much I actually appreciate you doing a deep dive like this. Thank you so much for this video! ❤
@@StoriesNStrategy oh wow you’re making be blush ☺️ thank you so much!❤️ You’re very welcome, it would be so great if I can help you find some new mods you’d want to put in your game😊 I hope the descriptions written in my website post can be a handy resource and save you from having to write too many notes! Happy modding❤️
@@BellaDovah Oh definitely, yes, I found the descriptions, had those open on a second tab. Was mostly taking notes on mod conflicts and decisions to make about gameplay and stuff if I add or change mods in my game, while downloading the ones I liked. (I have too many as it is, but determined to make it work. 😅) And a small update since last night: I've started using the new custom memory mod together with the memory commander and I'm in love. I'm afraid I'll never get out of the pause mode again. 😂 But it's so great to finally be able to do this!
@@StoriesNStrategy thats great! I haven’t even thought of conflicts yet😅 I just put all the usual ones together in an empty downloads folder aside from a few UI & Graphics bits, so not tried it with my usual/old mod folder particularly because I’m in the process of re-doing that, hope none turn out to be a compatibility nightmare!
Oh wow this was really cool, thank you so much for all of the work you've put into making this ❤ I really enjoyed your detailed explainations and the way that you showed off the mod functions. I'm definitely checking out the gardener mod to select frequency - I know we've discussed this in the past and I believe I'm having the same issue you do that they're supposed to come every day but won't.
So glad to know you enjoyed it🥰 Thank you! Yes I really hope that mod actually makes the gardener come every day too (can’t confirm because I’m not really playing rn just modding!) It’s a huge mod so it naturally has some conflicts, see the comments where I’ve been discussing them with the creator, a lot of smaller mods it conflicts with are fully included so can be gotten rid of😊
Thanks for this awesome overview, I’ve got a huge shopping list now! I’m so excited for the new traits too - I like your idea about no pets wants for the dislikes animals/cats/dogs ones. If you do make that it would be wonderful if it were compatible with Epi’s mod that changes the puppy/kitten wants to just cat/dog as well! It would be funny too if your Sim got that frustrated “who, me?” animation if you directed them to interact with an animal and they had those traits 😆 as an extra touch. It would be great if minimalists never got wants to buy objects or something? I could go on and on; I wish I knew how to mod cause I always think of random ideas for traits mods!
You’re welcome! That’s great to hear! Ive always got so many ideas and such a long to do list its hard to get round to things😣 but I do hope to make some stuff for those new traits eventually. I use that puppy/kitten want mod too so I’d keep that in mind, but even if someone else ends up making it I doubt those would actually conflict anyway!
Haha cheers not trying to push my mods but noticed you haven’t got a fix for the mapping on the crib, I’ve got one on my tumblr as well as a one tile version if the bedding colour on the bars and wheels annoys you like it does me
@@JacobAnthonyOConnor ah based on how Beau's crib looked? I do use that mod usually but I just put these new ones in a pretty much empty downloads folder along with a couple graphical & UI bits.

I agree! I wish both that and the tweaks mod would also take the hopeless romantic trait into account so romance sims with that trait wouldn’t be eligible
Hi nice vid! Can you share your camera fov settings? or a download link you use? I got the sims 2 ultimate collection but where I should put the files? they are many camera folders
@@therelaxingcgi glad you like it😊 I use this camera mod compilation: www.tumblr.com/lowedeus/137560317441/%D1%81amera-mod-compilation Make a backup of your cameras folder inside Documents/EA Games/Sims 2 Ultimate Collection then let the mod replace any files it wants inside there, but keep any others not replaced, you don’t need to do anything in your Program Files
Absolutely 💯 I hope you enjoy! If you need help setting it up on modern windows, I have a guide: ruclips.net/video/8iWlvY4NH6M/видео.htmlsi=ja4-VjNSwM77h47F
It doesn't feel like a downgrade, it quite literally is a downgrade, even sims 3 base game has more content than sims 4, sims 2 literally obliterates the boring heap of garbage that is sims 4
There's no hard limit, it depends on your computer, the kind of CC you use and also measures you take to optimize it. Mods are usually small files that wouldn't cause lag, but you can run into conflict issues. You could have hundreds of recolors without issue, but high poly cc and hair cc are big files that can be a lot more demanding. You can compress and merge cc files to make them smaller and less impactful on load times etc. I have more information on that here: ruclips.net/video/NkMOUDhIYuA/видео.htmlsi=um1lTl4IPqACYeBm and here: ruclips.net/video/i6FX7SaFuW0/видео.htmlsi=0qPDz-dOkIlwQFib and here: ruclips.net/video/b50j_TWGZ4Y/видео.htmlsi=D3hGL_QSDx731dV0
I have this question: Is your UI and screensize also a mod? I can only play sims 2 in window mode and that bothers me a lot, all the missing screenspace at both sides
@@miiKOlapiz the white UI is a mod: greatcheesecakepersona.tumblr.com/post/190825573525/download-clean-ui-post-updated-011121 but the screen size is not, check out my video on how to fix & optimise The Sims 2: ruclips.net/video/8iWlvY4NH6M/видео.htmlsi=DrKwbLmef2CCG6oZ
Is there any way you could do a tutorial on how to install the loads of laundry mod? Sorry, I try to follow all the spread sheets and tried to get all the dependencies but some things kept glowing blue, and there were so many different links to different dependencies.
I'll consider it, if I do a longer showcase specifically for it in the future I'll probably cover the installation process in that. I don't see it being anytime soon though. If you have any specific questions about what bits you're struggling with let me know and I'll see if I can help at all
do you know if they made more turn-on and turn-off to put on your teenager when you create a teenage or when you have a baby and when it come to be a teenage?
So the number of turn on/offs doesn’t change, but any replaced mod will apply to any menu for choosing or changing turn on/offs so both in CAS and when a sim ages up to teenager
It depends, you need to follow the section of the documentation doc that tells you what textures are needed for what. If you want to use the medieval laundry items, then you need the required file containing the master texture, but you could just not put those items in your game at all and therefore wouldn’t need the requirements
i really wish there was a catalog mod that makes a icon that takes up the space between the pets and misc categories, then emulates the buy mode categories panel, and migrates all the custom content to that emulated panel. i hate how the catalog gets horrendously cluttered with random bits from cc sets, and it's also a PITA to make a collection file if one wasn't included and recategorize everything manually to only show in a collection.
Sorry for the late reply, but you just make a folder called Downloads in your Documents/EA Games/Sims 2 folder and put the package files in it. You have to be careful though as some mods will require the latest EPs and therefore won’t work on Macs
Alguém sabe um mod pra lotes? Por exemplo, se sair da casa do sim e ir para algum lote, a hora muda, igual ao TS4. Pois no TS2 se sairmos da casa de manha, passar um dia num lote e voltar a noite, chegando em casa vai ser manhã, e eu não queria assim

i really wanna play sims 2 again but it stopped working on my laptop after my last windows reinstall :( idk why that can be bc it worked on windows 10 in the past
My next video + website post will be guide on getting The Sims 2 up and running on Windows 11, hoping to upload at the weekend so I really hope that will be able to help you!
This is one of the few games that imo doesn't need mods with the number of families, neighbourhoods and content to work through (e.g. University)... It's already packed full with stuff to do. I don't think doing laundry is needed really 😂. I removed the censorship because it was annoying but apart from that most things can be done in game or via console commands.
@@H_Grunt mods are rarely about just adding new content. There are many buggy and sloppily done things in the game that many talented people work hard to fix and improve for free
@@BellaDovah I know all about mods madam I can assure you. I play a lot of Bethesda games and so far I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary with this game - nothing that requires 50+ mods. Maybe I'm just lucky. 😇
@@H_Grunt ha okay understandable, I also really like Skyrim but I check Nexus every day and see 100s of new mods so it always feels too overwhelming to actually start modding it!
@@BellaDovah Even with those games I don't go too crazy. Don't see the point in fussing over the texture of a rock or trying to turn the game into something it's not, e.g. 360 movement. I like playing as "not the Dragonborn" so anything that helps with that is a +, like alternate start. I play it like the Sims I guess same as every game 😆 it's all just RP. Anyway, as for the Sims 2 about the only thing that annoys me is stuff like Sims washing their dishes in the bathroom sink or if you get them to read the newspaper but then want them to do a crossword as well, they'll place it down on the floor after reading and pick it back up again for the crossword ugh. Little things like that. That can be solved by taking away free will but that's also slightly annoying. I wish there was a nice balanced version of free will because full free will is just pure frustration having to pause every 2 seconds and no free will means the Sim won't even go to the bathroom when they're desperate. 👀
@@Windenberg As I said in my other comment, I have a video on how to get Sims 2 optimised for Windows 11: ruclips.net/video/8iWlvY4NH6M/видео.htmlsi=XMPyClsX3kB1HEWO but to improve the UI further beyond being able to change your resolution, to prevent it overlapping in CAS, you may want to install a widescreen UI mod or the Clean UI which I touch on in more detail in this older video: ruclips.net/video/93NgDt8FKUU/видео.htmlsi=BgHbDvvX61Ir6aY3
Does anyone know if there’s a way to extend the control panel? It really bugs me that I can’t view needs, relationships and skills at the same time even though there’s plenty of space on the screen to just display them all at the same time
You can’t officially buy it anymore, you’d only be able to buy the discs second hand from thrift stores. But, you can safely download it, this guide should help: href.li/?docs.google.com/document/d/1UT0HX3cO4xLft2KozGypU_N7ZcGQVr-54QD9asFsx5U/ My next video will be about how to get it up and running once you have obtained it so keep an eye out for that!
please give links for the mods, because it's inpossible the find them at that webside. ( I wanted check the traits mod but I found nothing and with searching on google I only find the " old trait" mods. thanks.
I am genuinely confused. The new traits one is literally the 2nd one in the list I linked: www.belladovah.com/post/new-sims-2-mods-released-in-q1-2024 I can’t really make it any easier. ‘That website’ is my brand new bespoke personal website I put a lot of time and effort into creating. I am providing all the links and a helpful description in a much clearer format than I’d be able to do in the youtube video description, which also has a character limit so I would not be able to fit anywhere close to all of the mods & links into it. Therefore, all of the additional information and related links will always be found in a related post link to my website from now on. If you are navigating away from that page, such as the mods page, then you have gone to the wrong place, the mods page on my website is for the mods I have created, but the page I linked to is the post related to this video containing all the links in a clear way. You can use ctrl + F on a webpage to find a term you are looking for on the page, you can also use the search bar on my website to search for things too. Its very clear and straightforward so I’m not sure what the problem is.
Turns out I forgot to cover Report Card Fixes by LimeyYoshi which is a great mod, but the link & description of it can be found on the list with all the others!

@@Windenberg As I said in my other comment, I have a video on how to get Sims 2 optimised for Windows 11: ruclips.net/video/8iWlvY4NH6M/видео.htmlsi=XMPyClsX3kB1HEWO but to improve the UI further beyond being able to change your resolution, to prevent it overlapping in CAS, you may want to install a widescreen UI mod or the Clean UI which I touch on in more detail in this older video: ruclips.net/video/93NgDt8FKUU/видео.htmlsi=BgHbDvvX61Ir6aY3
Does anyone know if there’s a way to extend the control panel? It really bugs me that I can’t view needs, relationships and skills at the same time even though there’s plenty of space on the screen to just display them all at the same time
No sorry I don’t know of anything like that
where you can buy sims 2
You can’t officially buy it anymore, you’d only be able to buy the discs second hand from thrift stores. But, you can safely download it, this guide should help:

My next video will be about how to get it up and running once you have obtained it so keep an eye out for that!
Is there any drink mods ?
please give links for the mods, because it's inpossible the find them at that webside. ( I wanted check the traits mod but I found nothing and with searching on google I only find the " old trait" mods. thanks.
I am genuinely confused. The new traits one is literally the 2nd one in the list I linked: www.belladovah.com/post/new-sims-2-mods-released-in-q1-2024
I can’t really make it any easier. ‘That website’ is my brand new bespoke personal website I put a lot of time and effort into creating. I am providing all the links and a helpful description in a much clearer format than I’d be able to do in the youtube video description, which also has a character limit so I would not be able to fit anywhere close to all of the mods & links into it. Therefore, all of the additional information and related links will always be found in a related post link to my website from now on. If you are navigating away from that page, such as the mods page, then you have gone to the wrong place, the mods page on my website is for the mods I have created, but the page I linked to is the post related to this video containing all the links in a clear way. You can use ctrl + F on a webpage to find a term you are looking for on the page, you can also use the search bar on my website to search for things too. Its very clear and straightforward so I’m not sure what the problem is.
How get this mood?
Who gets paid to make the default lots for the Sims and why are they so bad at it compared to folks like this?
