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 ❤

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.

@BellaDovah Ай бұрын

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😊

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! ❤

@@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!

@BellaDovah 2 ай бұрын

@@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!

@88kayleigh 2 ай бұрын

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!

@BellaDovah 2 ай бұрын

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!

@BellaDovah 2 ай бұрын

@@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. It is on my main mod list, although that list is outdated as I'm in the process of rebuilding my downloads folder and remaking my list from scratch on my website but that one will have a permanent place in my downloads folder & on my main list :)

It would be interesting to see for the crystal ball mod for computers list of eligible partners to see eligible Romance Sims too.

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

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.

@BellaDovah Ай бұрын

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 we need all the extra stuff from medieval, cause im getting a lot of blue texture errors?

@BellaDovah 2 ай бұрын

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

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?

@BellaDovah 2 ай бұрын

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

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

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.

@BellaDovah 2 ай бұрын

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.
