For me, it stopped working once I combined households. Anyway, it's too cheaty; I just use the money order now.

I abhor dorms. Most of my college sims either share a house with a roommate or join a Greek house. I like expensive furniture, but it's much more plausible if the Sims actually worked for it.

If you're ever desperate for money, just use the counterfeiter. It's a quick, 'reliable' way to make money in university. With the no20khandouts, my graduating sims (who live in normal housing) usually have around 5k to spend.

Are you sure it was a hack? They could've just 'shortened' the teen lifespan by sending them to college early.

Okay, it finally works.  I went through with the hard drive process, and repaired the corrupted zip using winrar. Now...onto UNI installation!

I got one of my YAs pregnant once, using christianlov's Easy Bed. When she graduated, the baby was left in the greek house and the lot crashed every time I tried to use it.

My CD isn't dirty, it's literally scratched.

As it turns out, just the "compressed" zip in the first disk has an error. It seems I'll have to get it replaced, then. Do you think you could upload it? The only file I'm having trouble dumping into the Disk1 folder is that zipped folder.

I was trying to reinstall the Sims 2 on my new computer, but this message keeps popping up:

"A problem occured when trying to transfer the file 'TSData\Res\Sound\Voices5.package' from them media."

At first I thought it was just my CD (since it looks kind of scratched and defect), and I thought, Hey! I'm just going to download this off a torrent. But I googled this error and several other people seem to have it as well. If it's a problem with my computer, then I'm pretty sure none of the torrents would work.

I found a diagnosis/solution over here, but that seems like a lot of trouble to go through. Should I just install it off a torrent and see what happens?

I've had a pure, 100% accidental death when I installed Seasons. My sim was raking leaves during Fall, and when I chose to burn the leaves, the Sim decided to walk over the leaves.  A rather stupid decision, really, since he immediately caught on fire and nobody was around to extinguish him. The guy owned four business, too, and they were all inherited by his sister.

Served juice remains permanently fresh, I think. I've kept a tray of that boot juice around for some time now. I like how juices fulfill the sims' hunger completely, and doesn't make them gain unnecessary weight.

The Statue look and the Peacock Cut. Nothing spectacular, mind you, but still deserves to be pointed and laughed at.

The visitors passing by all had colds, so that may have partially caused it. Also, I realized I installed both your warmth fix and DJ's hot-tub-isn't-hot mod. Blegh. The colds stopped coming after I removed it.


In that case, the 'Deliver Groceries' option comes in handy. I think you might have to pay a delivery fee, but my Sims are rich enough anyway. There should be more possibilites of bankrupting a family or something.

I actually like how our Sims have to go grocery shopping once in a while; it makes the game much more realistic.

Different playing styles, I guess.

This is a very useful tool, but when I tried it out in-game, I noticed 'Pepper Punch' was missing from the recipe list.  Is this because Pepper Punch doesn't have any effects?

I got the mod, but the diseases still keep coming. My Sims even got a cold in the Summer.

Is anybody else experiencing problems with their Sims getting colds? I just moved a new couple into a lot in Springtime, and they start coughing. A few minutes later, the "Alyssa has a cold!" message pops up. They're fine for a while after I cure them with orange juice, but a few minutes later, they start coughing and the message pops up again. This stupid influenza has been driving me nuts. 

Seconded. Also, Squinge's no-autonomous-cooking hack doesn't work.

I don't think I've ever kept a painting around for the Sim to die. o: All my painters are usually popularity-aspiring sims, and I sell the painting right after the "Sell a Masterpiece" want spawns. I like the idea of the painting doubling in value, though. I'll try it sometime.

I'm a tad confused as well.

I always build lots in 'construction mode' instead of moving Sims in to do it, and after I'm done furnishing the lot, I go to the neighbourhood screen and move the furnished house back into the lot bin. If I proceed to take the lot out of the lot bin to place into the neighbourhood, I have both a packaged lot in the bin AND one placed in the neighbourhood. Both are fully furnished and ready-to-use.

If there's a problem with this method, I haven't encountered it. 

Did you get this information from a guide on TSR, perchance?

And as for the orangeade, I never really understood it; I had one of my Sims drink it, but I didn't get a message claiming they received a badge or whatnot.  Eh.

Actually, they do go to sleep. You can send them to bed like any other Sim...the difference is the fact that they don't need sleep.

So the Sims will automatically change into coats when the weather is cold enough to freeze, but they'll stay in their normal clothes if the temperature's warm enough?

(By the way, are you Pescado or something?)

Yeah, Maxis should really rethink their testing process before releasing the game. 

Anyhow, looks like those wants are UNI-only. If that's the case, then there should be a simple solution to the problem: Request a god-modder to implant those Wants using Simpe! They did it with the UNI careers, so it should be possible with 20 woohoo/lovers/bfs too.

I've been having the same problems. I even made a thread in insim.net to discuss it. I have base + NL + OFB + Pets.

Are you sure the 20 simultaneous best friend/lovers/woohoo is UNI-only? ): That's a little disappointing.
