Playing Sims 2 made me realize how limited social interactions were compared to other Sims titles. So after some tutorials, I made my very first mod: More Social Interactions!

Here are the list of interactions. Some are triggered by relationship dynamics so you won't see them all at once. There are no new animations, just more options for storytelling purposes.

Beg For Forgiveness

Compliment Outfit

Compliment Personality

Small Talk

Ask About Day

Deep Conversation

Good Night Kiss

Ask What Their Problem Is

Compliment Appearance

Talk About Music

Say "I Love You"

Hold Close

Argue About Parenting

Criticize WooHoo

Compliment Hair

Give Reassurance

Talk About Past

Argue About Money

Friendly "Say I Love You"

Talk About Weather

Big shoutout to picknmixsims, echo on MTS, and The Sims 2 Guru on YouTube for all of the help on pointing me in the right direction.

EDIT: This mod DOES CONFLICT with the following mods

CJH Visit Sims Walk to Lot

Midge's Child Witches

Child & Teen Plantsims

More joke telling options

Kids can walk to community lots

I'm workshopping a way to make this mod standalone so it doesn't have to rely on the PersonGlobals themselves. But I don't know when that will be.

If anyone finds any other mods that conflict with this one, please let me know so I can update the list!

It wasn't about the doll.

I was thinking about Tank Grunt's secrets in TS2 on PSP;

When Ripp took the doll from him, knowing that Buzz has 0 interest points in toys, and it being a doll, I imagine Tank must've been too afraid to ask his father to tell Ripp to give her back to him...

The doll was only one of the ways in which Tank tried to be in tune with his feminine side, all of which were either taken away from him or turned into a negative association

Him wanting to go into ballet but being forced to follow his father's footsteps is another example, and I personally find it lovely to see that in contrast to this, in TS2 on DS and on GBA he wears the pink shirt 🩷

And then there's the face paint...

Note that in TS2 on DS we find out from Tank that his face paint apparently is tattooed on and doesn't come off... I could be wrong but was THAT the punishment?

Think about how his face paint looks identical in TS2 on PC, PSP, DS as well as GBA and even in TS4 he appears with his family, where we can see that his father no longer has the lines on his cheeks, but Tank ... still has the face paint U.U

Honorable mention: in TS2 on GBA one of our first interactions with Tank is regarding him thinking that we are going to judge his apparel, presumably the pink shirt mentioned above, and this makes me wonder if his father's 0 interest points in fashion as well maybe made him view fashion (let alone the color pink) as something 'too feminine'...

...especially considering Tank has all the same interest points as his father

also why do you personally think the tone and vibe was never like that generation again? it seemed like they were going for a soap opera ish story - Answer by Michael Long (vertexnormal)

The Sims 2 was just an evolution of The Sims 1, same lead character artist. It was cartoony because we added Create A Sim that allowed for editing sims and the technology and techniques at the time were pretty limited. It was also just the art style and direction. EDIT: In general it because more cartoony because we went full 3D and texture memory was our biggest graphical constraint.

The Sims 1 was meant, or ended up, being a critique on consumer culture. It was pretty silly, but the idea of buying a bigger TV so you would be happier was kindof the point/joke. The Sims 2 lost that critique and became more about enabling people to tell the stories they wanted to tell, and people wanted/liked strange and funny stuff.

I don't think the Sims 3 really had any strong identity, the weight of the franchise just meant we all wanted to iterate on 2 and make something bigger and better.

By the time Sims 4 rolled around I think they lost the plot entirely and in some ways it was driven by it needing to make money. Mind you the people working on it love the franchise and the players, it's more of the vibe coming from new management and EA.

Hi! A momentary return to announce that I will be presenting a workshop live over @ TheSimForge, @blueheavensims' server dedicated to modding/creating for TS2.

It's going to be called "Cutting Edges" (hehe) and will be a two-part workshop, the first of which will take place next Saturday (May 9th) at 10:00 (GMT-6) / 18:00 (UTC+1).

What is it about?

Blender! For Part 1, it's going to be a pretty straightforward rundown of everything a beginner, or person coming from Milkshape 3D, needs to know about Blender and some of its key features and quirks.

Is it going to be Sims-related stuff?

That's what Part 2 will be about, I'll showoff how you can essentially go from start to finish with Blender ONLY, and import that into TS2 and nothing else. Just make sure you follow Part 1 if you don't know the first thing about Blender, because stuff will not be repeated. 😄

What's a workshop?

Essentially, one person presents a "class" surrounding a topic on a TS2 related creative process: poses, boxes, fences, GUIDs, you name it! This is done live, on Discord, where you can ask questions via voice chat, or text chat, and the presenter will answer. But don't worry, a replay is always available after the fact on the SimForge's YT channel!

Join the Discord server here to attend: https://discord.gg/Jyjb67eBX5

Once, you are there, the workshop post is available under the "workshop-resource-posts" forum.
