My current neighborhood had a serial killer. I finally killed him myself with cheats. He was a glitched butler that I moved into a family because he would just throw errors so I wanted him to stop having the job. He would then constantly visit my families, leave food in their stoves, and leave. He got up to a kill count of about 5 before I was so done with his shenanigans that I forced him to die
I'm afraid that's normal for moved in butlers 😂 Unless it was Jack Thomasson in both our games and he's actually glitched? Doubt it though, NPCs with behaviors usually do weird stuff while playable and it includes going to neighbors' homes in many cases. But my butler would just cook for them, not play with fire 😬
In case you want to want to continue to avoid overpopulation in the future too. You could also add random generators for which Sims die or roll for type of deaths. That way you may have ghosts with colors you never had before. In case you don't want death you could also make infertility rolls for you Sims with a basic chance and an additional chance for when Sims give birth. Personally I hate to "force" my Sims to limit the amount of children they can have because there are large families in real life with 4+ children and I like to play such families.
I just don't make them 6 kids anymore, that's enough 😅 I have a children number rule based on aspirations and it's max 3 unless twins. This Pleasantview is nearly 10 years old, I've had enough time to find ways for population control, but thanks 😆
In my neighborhoods I've ended up just setting my ACR casual woohoo % to 10% and turning the autonomous TFB off, then it's completely random as to whether or not any of the families have kids. The average has worked out to about 2-3 kids per household, but there are some that just never have kids.
I did a similar thing with my own Pleasantview but with mostly younger sims so that there would be less kids in the next generation. Ended up accidentally eradicating all Goth descendants but finally had a reason to use Bella for something. Trying to match the survivers with each other was also super fun
Wow, nice! 😆 Well, I mostly just wanted less crowded families. For the kid situation some of my Sims just don't have them and that's all! Child free people are valid 🫡
The Monty household in my Veronaville save completely died/married off on accident. The bloodline was still there technically but the name Monty disappeared.
@@Marticore of course they are, I've had plenty of such couples. The problem was, in this generation there were many family sims and a few that, in my mind, would be expected to have kids at some point
I remember watching the pleasantview video on your polish channel and during that I was like "there is no way in hell I'll remember all of those sims" and now when I'm watching this I'm like "Oh my god! this sim has to be of this and that sims' descendant, they look so similar!" and I feel I just found my new superpower, recognising Marticore's sims 2 sims 🤪
In my Strangetown, I kind of miss Olive Specter; she gave me an excuse to just kill off any Sim I wanted to for story purposes. Maybe I can still kill Sims with fright on her lot and say that her ghost did it... could make for a fun storyline where paranormal investigators have to put her to rest.
oh, right elders actually lose motives slower! i learned this during the time i had a bunch of sims living in a house together until they perished one by one, and the elders would always be the last remaining since their motives dropped slower
8:12. I remember using a cheat that makes you friend with everyone. Well, it makes the sims friend with everyone without actually knowing them and every single hour this happened but with like every sims in the neighborhood.
If you want to be able to take sick days at any time, not just an hour before the carpool arrives, or you want to just take a day off and stop the carpool from arriving, I would recommend the Duvet Days mod by Pick'N'Mix Sims Mods. It has become one of my absolute favourites. It goes nicely with another mod by the same creator called Shared PTO which allows Sims in the same household to share vacation days, which is particularly useful when you have working mothers and you want another Sim to use the vacation days they gained after giving birth.
during pandemic times i would put eight sims in a house and then each day someone would be chosen by a spinning wheel to be eaten by the cowplant, between four or one would be chosen as the survivors and move on to the next round fun times
whenever my hood feels too overpopulated I just cheat kill a few I dont really care about. I dont delete them cause usually they live with other sims i want to keep, so its just easier to kill them with cheats and delete their grave, problem gone. sometimes i think of a story reason for why they died but usually i just dont care because theyre boring sims
Won't the game force you to move those 2 gravestones you left in the soon to be appartment lot? (if you have that mod to select a cemetary i think it automatically prompts you to do it once it is a appartment lot, but i could be wrong)
Probably not. In Early Strangetown that I play, Daisy's late husband's grave is in the apartment building where she lives, I also forgot about it when I moved her out and it's still there! They will randomly disappear at some point though
if you do make that giant house a bunch of apartments can you share the lot on MTS please? I would very much like that house as apartments cos it's such a nostalgic house
I'm not sure if it's ok to share a house that was once occupied 🤔 And I don't wanna limit myself with CC, I'll probably use a bunch of it. But I do plan on showing it at least!
@@Marticore awh that's a shame but super understandable there is a modded object called Lot Compressor by Chris Hatch that would remove sim references from a previously occupied residential lot
I have got a problem for Sims 2 Ultimate Collection. Few days ago I started the game and I didn't even save anything but today it's not working I got some error on screen. Game didn't start just EA launch opened and I tried start on launch but it didn't work. Sims 2 just in EA games launcher Origin isn't usefull anymore but I couldn't find config file and other things can you help about that what can I do?🙏🏻 It's not working I got some error on EA Games Launch screen "you can double click on game tiles to quickly launch a game" Please can you help me?🙏🏻
@@Marticore What do you mean? Are you not wanting them to all live together? You can choose to move individual or duo sims out through phone or computer option, or evict whole household from the neighbourhood settings, then all wealth and value of house will go with them.
Why are you trying to educate me about basic options of the game? I play a whole neighborhood rotationally, every family evenly for the same number of days. They are all connected via family tree at this point, the whole hood. I can't have relatives seen as alive forever in the family tree after I sent them to the family bin or deleted them.

Hilarious, random dieing except illness, lightning doesn´t occur as often as wished for.

Sims playing a real crowded meighbourhood take ages, wonder EA will come with a thrue multiplay in Sims 5, only drawback you have no control over your sims, but anyway that supposed not to be !
I want more similar episodes! You have such an overpopulated Pleasantview that death of this few sims is too little xD

What a comical episode. Can't wait for more sims burning in hell
i love that this is our community

honestly i wouldnt mind my apartment to be haunted if it was dirt cheap. the ghosts and i can share pasta if the landlord splits my rent in three

oh, right
elders actually lose motives slower! i learned this during the time i had a bunch of sims living in a house together until they perished one by one, and the elders would always be the last remaining since their motives dropped slower
But being an elder is a factor for getting worse faster in sickness!

The dog barking at the fire at 9:19 was so funny 🤣 and he's immune to the flame
Honestly I think of (insert TV show where they didn't replace the batteries) everytime a house catches fire in sims
you videos inspire me to create more storylines in my sims savefiles, thanks

As far as I know, you can call in sick when there's one hour left before carpool, before that this option isn't available.
Oh, I thought she ran out 😆
lol I love this video. Finding creative ways to "clean up" your neighborhood 🤣
My Veronaville save had a twin epidemic. Had to trim the family tree. It happens.
i love your hair! glad to see you back on my recommended. you're one of the most interesting simmers
It needed refreshing badly, glad it was done yesterday 😆 Thank you!!! I post every Thursday though!
ok now i'm VERY curious about the series with the faulty fire alarm
"This Is Us", best TV series in history
What a nice episode it was. I guess we (me specifically) need more
"Round 46" sent shivers down my spine :D
What an awesome premise for a video
during pandemic times i would put eight sims in a house and then each day someone would be chosen by a spinning wheel to be eaten by the cowplant, between four or one would be chosen as the survivors and move on to the next round
fun times
I had to do this once in one of my hoods. I installed Pescado's zombie apocalypse and let it run its course 😄
This actually gave me some great inspiration for storytelling! 😄 Really interesting solution for overpopulation and fun to watch! 😁
If you turn the house intro appartments, I would love to see a building vid of it, I would like to see how you turn it into an appartment :)
Yeah, I'm planning an update!
Headline: Pandemic arrives with fire and poison! (Why did this video make me laugh? ) Keep it up. A good purging is necessary sometimes.
OOFing Sims is fun is done tastefully. I like you gave them stories!!
whenever my hood feels too overpopulated I just cheat kill a few I dont really care about. I dont delete them cause usually they live with other sims i want to keep, so its just easier to kill them with cheats and delete their grave, problem gone. sometimes i think of a story reason for why they died but usually i just dont care because theyre boring sims
ah yes, we love some good sims 2 purge 💅🔪
Marticore woke up one day and decided to play god... and it made for really entertaining content!
How was I not subscribed to you?? Love your ass and how you just went on a murdering spree for our entertainment lmao

Unrelated but your hair is really pretty😭
Thanks but that was actually a moldy state 2 days before going to the hairdresser's to fix it 😂

Bro this dog🤣🤣🤣🤣 10:34
After watching this video, I don't feel all so bad because of killing some of my sims 😂
Me while watching -> SAVE THE DOG SAVE THE DOG
if you have more sims to, um...take care of...I would be intrerested in watching.

Why not just move them out? Then bulldoze their houses?
And then what, they live forever?
