2nd user account, separate game?
witch:
Yeah, but XP creates so much shit associated with each new user account, I prefer to avoid that. Plus then you're going back and forth from account to account loading hacks - like the hack fixes for bugs. Far easier to do it all in the same EA folder - and quicker.
If you don't decide to have synched download folders, it only takes a moment to drag the folder. The files don't actually move if they're on the same physical HDD, just the pointers to them. Although the point was to have different content for the two games.
If you're scared of forgetting to change the name of the sims 2 folder before playing, just create a game icon that runs a batch file, that way the offspring won't inadvertently load the wrong game.

For the children sharing your computer situation there are a lot more compelling reasons to make them their own accounts than the possibility of seeing a Crammyboy! Stuff like getting your files wiped out during a tantrum.
witch:
True. I've never had a child near my computer, thank gawd.
Zazazu:
For me, having a 2nd account is much easier. The second account has a basic background and no program icons on the desktop. This reminds me, mentally, that this account is my hackless testing/lot cleaning account. I don't have to worry about updating hacks because I don't have any hacks on it.

My college age daughter has her game on another account on my computer. She knows that having the Sims on her computer at school will too distracting. Periodically I drop the most recently updated mods into her files.
