With nearly a full decade completed in the game, I ended up having a bit of fun imagining the Thompsons as their own version of The House on the Prairie (“Os Pioneiros”, in Brazilian Portuguese).

I’m truly happy to be starting this challenge, and even more grateful to everyone who has been following along, sending messages, and sharing tips. Thank you so much for the support.

Hey everbody!

Today I decided to create some different content. In an attempt to make life a little easier and more accessible for those who aren't very skilled with Photoshop and/or Adobe Illustrator.

I've created some cards inspired by The Sims 2 that can be used in numerous ways, as shown in the example above. I hope you like them and use them a lot!

Remember that the original project belongs to diwasims.

Please reblog this post and tag me if you use it; I want to see the results. Please also credit me for the Canva adaptation if you share it with someone.

MY HOOD TRACKER TEMPLATE (NOTION)

Hey everyone! Hope you’re all doing well :)

Today I’m sharing the Hood Tracker I use for my rotational gameplay, including my Pleasantview playthrough and other neighborhoods.

After several months using the Pleasant Sims Google Sheets template, I eventually stopped relying on spreadsheets. While it worked well for a long time, it gradually became less practical for the way I organize my gameplay. With Notion’s automation and database features, I found a system that feels much simpler and more efficient for managing everything.

Because of that, I decided to recreate my tracker inside Notion and share it with you.

This version is more organized and works through a database structure that stores characters as sub-items inside each family entry. In practice, this makes it much easier to track households, relationships, and rotational progress in a cleaner way.

If you want to understand how the system works, I recommend watching the video that originally inspired me to build this model:

And here it is!

Below you’ll find two links: one in English and the other in Brazilian Portuguese. If you’d like to translate this template into another language and share it as an update, please contact me first to request permission.

Hey everyone! Simplace here, and to celebrate reaching 100 followers on the page, I decided to bring you an important tutorial that will help a lot of people :)

Maybe I'll make a video later, but I believe this tutorial is enough. If you want, I'll leave a link to this tutorial in PDF format so you can access it offline <3

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤIts a Technical Tutorial for Windows!

This guide presents a structured method to organize your Downloads folder in an automated way. The procedure works for any type of file or game, not only The Sims 2.

This process is designed exclusively for Windows. There is no support for macOS.

The method combines Python for file automation and a chatbot such as ChatGPT or Gemini as a classification tool. The AI is used as a logical organizer, not as a final creative product.

───────────────────────────────────────────

⚠️ Before You Start: Create a Backup

Make a complete copy of the folder before proceeding.No exceptions.

If you want to avoid using local storage space, you may upload your backup to cloud services such as:

Google Drive

Terabox

───────────────────────────────────────────

Step 1. Install Python Properly

Go to the official website: https://www.python.org

During installation, make sure to check: Add Python to PATH

If this option is not selected, the python command will not work in Command Prompt.

Complete the installation normally.

───────────────────────────────────────────

Step 2. Generate the directory_tree.txt File

Open the folder you want to organize, for example Downloads.

Hold Shift and right click inside the folder.

Select Open PowerShell window here.

With PowerShell open in that directory, paste the following code:

$path = Get-Location $items = Get-ChildItem -Path $path $tree = @() $items | ForEach-Object {     if ($_.PSIsContainer) {         $tree += "+ " + $_.Name     } else {         $tree += "|-- " + $_.Name     } } $tree | Set-Content -Path "$($path.Path)\directory_tree.txt"

Press Enter.

A file named directory_tree.txt will be created. It contains only:

file names

folder names

file extensions

No internal content is accessed.

Open the file and copy all the text.

───────────────────────────────────────────

Step 3. Ask the AI to Categorize

Paste the full content into your preferred chatbot along with this prompt:

"I want to sort my folder. I will leave the tree down below. Please ignore subfolder contents, see folders as one file. Based on the titles of the files/folder, sort them into categories that you make yourself."

The AI will suggest an organizational structure.

Review it carefully. Adjust the categories by continuing the conversation until the structure fits your needs.

You already have a backup, so there is no need to rush.

───────────────────────────────────────────

Step 4. Generate the Python Script

Once you are satisfied with the structure, send this prompt, replacing the path with your own:

Can you make a PYTHON script that creates these categories as folders,  selects the appropriate folder/files you sorted and moves them to the appropriate folder?  Format the directory like this:  downloads_dir = 'C:\\Users\\You\\YourFolder'

Make sure the script correctly uses:

os

shutil

os.makedirs()

shutil.move()

You should also ask the AI to handle:

duplicate file names

existing folders

already moved files

This reduces execution errors.

───────────────────────────────────────────

Step 5. Save the Script

Open Notepad.

Paste the generated Python code.

Click Save As.

Name the file: organizer.py

Ensure the extension is .py and not .txt.

Save it on your Desktop.

You can reuse this file in the future.

───────────────────────────────────────────

Step 6. Execute the Script

Open Command Prompt.

Navigate to the Desktop:

cd Desktop

Alternatively, drag the Python file into the Command Prompt window.

Then run:

python organizer.py

Press Enter and wait.

Execution time depends on the number of files.

When finished:

Review the results manually.

Make small adjustments if necessary.

If something goes wrong, restore your backup and adjust the script with AI assistance.

───────────────────────────────────────────

Technical Notes

The organization is based solely on file and folder names.

Ambiguous titles may lead to misclassification.

Human review is essential.

Backup is mandatory.

───────────────────────────────────────────

Final Considerations

This procedure is structured specifically for Windows.Compatibility with macOS is not guaranteed.

Don seems to be doing well... for now!

After discovering that his main hobby is Fitness (addicted to exercise equipment) and that his secondary aspiration is Fortune (LordCrumps' calculator), clearly being a workaholic, Don began dividing his days between conquering women, dancing, and training.

He reached level 7 (Expert) in the Medical career, significantly increasing his income (almost 14x more). Cassandra called a few times… he chose between ignoring her, hanging up on her, or ending the conversation with the excuse of being "too busy," if you know what I mean LOL.

In the meantime, he became interested in Dina. The encounter revealed an unexpectedly more romantic side, leading him to consider a future with the blonde girl, in contrast to his previous commitment. What will he do next? The next round will reveal.

As Britney Spears said: "Womanizer!"

Anyways, im so sorry for disappearing these past few days, I was sick. I’m better now and will vary the content a bit. I’ve also put a lot of effort into presenting the gameplay in a new style :)

A New Target for Dina Caliente!

Dina is looking for someone new to conquer and boost her bank account. She’s not satisfied with just having Mortimer under her control. Expensive gifts are great, but Dina knows they don’t pay her bills. That’s why, every week, she goes to the famous Hub, a place where the rich and the opportunistic gather during Sim City’s bustling nights.

Dina is a woman who draws attention. She wears expensive dresses and jewelry, much of it a gift from her sugar daddy. Her hair is always perfect and her makeup flawless.

That night, Dina was lucky. She met a man who impressed her: Malcolm Landgraab, the richest and most influential Sim in Sim-Nation.

Not All Calientes Are Lucky.

Nina keeps fooling herself into thinking that Don is her perfect match. Caught up in the moment, she let things get a little too heated during a recent woohoo session with her beloved. Now, surrounded by doubt and anxiety, Nina decides to find out the truth, and the situation quickly turns into a ticking time bomb: Nina is pregnant!

Unfortunately for her, even though she tried to hide her suspicions, Dina quickly found out. Her sister did not hold back. It was not only jealousy, since Don also happens to be one of Dina’s lovers, but pure frustration at the reality they live in. The two sisters are still relatively poor, and neither of them is in any position to raise a baby right now.

Unlike Dina, however, Nina still holds on to a sense of responsibility. She has no intention of abandoning her supposed child and is ready to do whatever it takes to care for the baby, even if that means moving somewhere else to make it work.
