Life hack for The Sims 2! (credit to crosimmer on twitter!)
Hi! Iâm BoltCore and welcome to my blog! So i was scrolling on twitter and then saw a post by crosimmer saying that you can skip the selecting main menu for the sims 2! So with this your game will just load the hood you want or the lot you want! I think this was introduced for testing purposes and also for showing the demo version of the game at E3 or such!Â
To âtellâ the game to skip the menu and instantly load the hood you wish you just need the gameâs shortcut! Then Right-click on the shortcut and go to the target line! Should look like this:
At the target line,press spacebar once and type: (with the â-â)
Then click apply and you can close the window then open the shortcut to see the results! :D
(note that this dosent work with subhoods,only main hoods!)
But thatâs not all! You can also load a specific lot! to do that you have to specify the lot adress! For example,to load the goth family you have to type:
-load:âN001;165 Sim Laneâ and yes in a lot case you need to put the quotes before the hood s name and after the lotâs name!!!
You can also load CAS (Create-a-Sim) too!,for pleasantview type load:âN001;CAS!â ,the same rule applies!
Again crosimmer is a legend in the sims community <3 xoxo
Anyways i hope you find this quite helpful ! if you have questions please ask!

If you want to learn modding, I highly recommend Williamâs tutorials đ He has a nice and clear style of explaining things, a pleasure to watch.
Videos are packed full of useful info bits, will answer many questions about reading BHAVs and help you grasp the general structure of object coding. These two are more broad, there are other tutorials that cover more specific topics as well.Â
On a side note, @picknmixsims hearing you say that youâre bad at labeling your code cracked me up. Sooo relatable! Iâve become too lazy to label variables and params. I do constants, since they are pretty useless otherwise. Attributes to keep sane. But to go and create labels for BHAVs, nah. I feel so much better all of a sudden đ
I've always hated how the camera jumps up and down when playing tall and slim buildings. Turns out, it's really easy to fix! Itâll take you less than a minute. All the details under the cut.
All it takes is opening the LiveCamera.txt file in your Documents>Cameras folder with a text editor and changing these two parameters near the bottom to a higher value. Doesnât matter if you're using a custom camera mod or not. Those parameters should be there. I have set mine like this (remember to save a backup just in case you don't like these changes).
It might seem a bit extreme, but I still think itâs fine.
-The top parameter, floorheightsamplerange, handles how much the floors âextend outâ, so the camera object can stand on it mid-air. The higher it is, the further the floor will extend. This will make it so your camera will be able to stick to the floor youâre on, even if you pan away from the building. No more annoying jumps up and down!
-The parameter below that, floorheightsampleinnerrange, handles the transition between sticking to the current floor and dropping to the ground level once it goes past the edge. The higher it is, the smoothest the fall will be.
Iâll note though that the behaviour of these parameters might not be 100% accurate with how the game actually works, but from what I tested I think itâs pretty close as an explanation. If someone knows better how this Live Camera works, please let me know and Iâll try my best to correct any inaccuracies.
Save the .txt file and check how it works in game. It might feel weird at first, but personally I find it so much smoother and easier to handle. If youâre not happy with these values, close the game and edit those parameters until you find your sweet spot. Unfortunately, you will have to close and open the game every time you change it to check how it works.
Thereâs so many cool Custom Camera mods out there that I thought itâs probably better to just show how to edit those 2 parameters than editing and reuploading all of them.
So yeah, thatâs it. Now you can play those tall lots without getting a headache. Go ahead and send your college simmies to that hideous Sim State Tower with a hot tub on top of it. Now youâll be able to see whatâs going on up there.

One of my favorite lots in my Finchwick hood, inspired by S4 Cottage Living. This lot was not made by me,as I am a very basic builder; it is my redecoration/edit of this beautiful creation by @alexbgd using the S3 Old Mill set.
Do you remember the bar in this picture? I've tried to recreate it as best I can, giving it a personal and warm touch. It was originally intended for Pleasantview, but I've placed it in my personal Riverside game.
but i need an up-to-date version, mine is still on the update from May 2 and windows tells me it is out of date, but won't give me the option to update either
turns out it's (probably) because TPM is disabled and even my brother has no fucking clue why or what to do now without making it freak out about secure boot next
he just said "whoever says windows is easier to use than linux is either in denial or deranged, even I can't deal with this mess anymore" lmao
If you play Sims 2 on Windows, get frequent-ish crashes and your crash logs say something about "ACCESS_VIOLATION" and "cTSAudioCOMDirector::OnStart", please dm me
Possible Fix for Sims 2 RPC Access Violation Crashes (Audio Related),
I was running into repeat 0xC0000005 Access Violation crashes in Sims 2 RPC. The error logs always pointed to cTSAudioCOMDirector::OnStart, even when I had audio disabled in the game. I went on the TS2 Community Discord and realized I had likey found the fix while waiting for an answer, and @brandinotbroke and I were discussing this being a major issue for many players - a random crash here and a random crash there.
Most likely culprit? An updated audio driver or a Microsoft update that was largely audio focused. Hence why its at random, and why a seemly previously working game no longer seems to. This update introduced a stricter behavior in the audio stack that exposed Sims 2âs lacking/missing sound assets. The fact missing files didn't crash before suggests Windows tolerated bad audio calls; and now it might be less forgiving.
Symptoms: Crashes happened while loading or playing lots (building mode included). Exception logs showed audio-related functions failing. audioerrorlog.txt filled with lines like âFailed to GetSoundDefinitionâ and âFailed to initialize soundâ. Game would crash after 1â2 hours at most.
Fix that worked for me: Dropped a dsound.dll wrapper into the TSBin folder. HERE: https://www.indirectsound.com/
This intercepts DirectSound calls and prevents them from crashing the game.
Results: Game has now been stable for 6+ hours (previously it always crashed within ~2). Errors still appear in audioerrorlog.txt, but the game ignores them instead of dying.
I was able to keep building a large set without issues. So if youâre getting RPC crashes tied to audio (even with sound disabled), try adding a dsound.dll wrapper â it seems to stabilize things without needing to strip the entire Sound folder.

A quaint cottage inspired by a photo I used chatGPT to make, using various prompts.
Honestly, Iâm not too thrilled with the idea of using AI for creativity⊠but it certainly helps when youâre struggling to paint the image thatâs in your head. :)
Think Iâll make several houses of this style in the future.
Original Sims 4 Challenge here by moonfi - this is just an adaptation for TS3!
I love the idea of the original globetrotter challenge by @moonfi but the original rules are for TS4 and are specifically themed around those worlds, so I decided to make my own version adapted for the TS3 worlds / gameplay, ofc all credit goes to moonfi for the original idea :)
Credit also goes to @florydaax for the store world legacy & @horusmenhosetix for the HIX Completionist Challenge - I took some inspo from both of those to come up with the goals for each location
This is my first attempt at creating a challenge for public release so if anyone has any feedback / suggestions pls lmk
Feel free to tag me or use #TS3Globetrotter if you try this out I'd love to see how your gameplay goes - no obligation to do that though! I'm just curious lol :)
Your sim is an adventurer visiting many places around the globe⊠Begin your explorations in the challenge belowâŠ
[Google Docs Version HERE - I reccomend reading the challenge on there & making a personal copy for gameplay!]
There are two ways to play this challenge, the original way is intended to be played with one sim. If you're going this route itâs best to turn the aging off or set it to long - However, there is also an option to play this challenge generationally if you wish (just treat each âroundâ as a new generation or span 2 rounds across each generation etc. Itâs up to you how you want to work that out!)
The challenge is NOT about accumulating money, but enjoying the gameplay. Each round has its own main LTW and a few other goals to fulfil, but it rarely has a specific career your sim must follow - thatâs because the focus should be on exploring the world around them rather than spending a lot of time in rabbitholes
This challenge uses a combination of store worlds & EP worlds, but Iâve also included few alternative custom worlds for each round you can use instead if youâd prefer - if you want to take creative liberty and choose your own world youâd rather use for a round thatâs totally fine! Just make sure it fits in with the correct vibe & theme for that round / generation
You can play these rounds in whatever order you want to, but Iâve presented them in a similar order to the original challenge w. each backstory following on from the last - you can ignore or alter the backstories as you wish to suit your gamplay ofc!
THE RULES:
MOD RECCOMENDATIONS: This challenge can be played without mods, but it is definitely enhanced by their inclusion, so here are some suggestionsâŠ
NRAAS Traveller will allow your sim to travel to any world you have installed, and retain relationships w. sims from previous trips once they move worlds
NRAAS Tempest will allow you to take control over the world climate, which is recommended for full immersion - I also suggest checking out Pudding Paradeâs Tempest project to find some premade settings for several types of different climates you can just place in your save!
UPDATE: Pudding Parade has also made some preset suggestions for this challenge here!
You might also want to check out my mod / CC reccomendation list for off-grid living :)
Create a sim (any age, but recommended to start with a YA), and once you move them to the first location give them a tent and set the funds to 0â50 simoleons (0 for a more challenging start)Â
Cheats bar: testingcheatsenabled TRUE // familyfunds [insert household name] 0
Main LTWs must be completed during their round, the other goals must be completed at least halfway before moving to a new location
You have a choice of several LTWs to complete for each round - take your pick of one of these, itâs not expected for you to do more than oneÂ
If youâre only playing with one sim for the duration of the challenge, you can either buy a LTR to change your sims lifetime wish for each round, or go and change it manually in CAS through cheats
Your sim cannot travel to places outside the world youâre currently playing in (unless specified by that round)
They can apply for a job once they have: a tent (or a bed), a campfire (or a stove), a fridge, a toilet, a shower, a sink, a counter, a chair. they must quit their job when you move to the next location. your sim can make money by selling things they found and created from their family / personal inventory.
You can purchase (or ârentâ for the purposes of storytelling) a house in a world once you have the funds to do so - just know youâll have to leave it behind when you move, so donât get too invested!
When moving to a new location your sim can take one piece of furniture and their tent. you should sell the rest. all the collectibles or souvenirs your sim found and put in their inventory travel with them as well - just no big bits of furniture like sofas, beds etc.
In order to move worlds, your sim needs to have 20,000 simoleons in the bank - you can cheat this money if you need to, but you must reset your family funds back to normal once theyâre in the next world.Â
If your sim forms relationships or has kids in a previous world, they can either abandon / leave them behind completely or bring them along to the next world - itâs totally up to you!
As an additional challenge, aim to master the Photography skill & take scenic photos of every town your sim visits
NEW RULE: Your sim can swap out one of their traits each round to be better suited for the gameplay - I've included some trait suggestions, but it's up to you what you decide to go with
ROUND 1: THE ARCTIC â°ïžđ
WORLD REC: Aurora Skies / Saaqartoq
Recently packing up all their belongings and hopping on a plane from their hometown of Sunset Valley, your sim wishes to explore the world.

Theyâve dipped their toes into fishing before, and would now like to fully immerse themselves in the deep blue sea and see what kind of things they can find.

First sims drawing since I used to draw my families as a kid! Younger Polly, because I've been kind of obsessed with him lately. I imagine a hawaiian shirt was the first thing he got on his quest to fit in on earth, just pull that bad boy on over the spacesuit, nobody will ask
Little White Wedding Chapel đ€”đ»đ°đ»đâđïž đâđïžđ„
I was watching @kayleigh-83 youtube and saw her wedding chapel and needed to recreate it because it was so beautiful, so the exterior is a recreation of that because I just loved it.
Fun Fact: My husband and I got married at the little white wedding chapel in Las Vegas 10 years ago! Don't think either of us remember that night lol! đĄ»đĄ»đĄ»đĄ»
