PLEASEE, I want to make an AU of them maybe swapped or something but like... GUH idk:(

Anyways give me your ideas, designs, or lore you've made up for them!

Don't repost, reblogs encouraged!!!

There were more 3D memory icons above a Sim's head. Like "friends, divorce, engagement" displayed over their head. The textures have been removed :( You can see a 3D fire icon above a Sim's head on the cooking channel on TV. It's cropped, but you can catch a glimpse.

The developers added these icons everywhere they could. Then they decided there were too many and removed them. Out of curiosity, you can check out a gallery of screenshots.

Features that were planned: a silver wedding anniversary (not to be confused with a golden one), calling the boss to work from home (resulting in either a promotion or demotion), a graveyard icon above a lot in the neighborhood (if marked as such), a joking skill (with successful and unsuccessful jokes). The stick-and-bundle object for a runaway teen was removed (it's still present in memories and as a 3D icon for a runaway teen). Volleyball gameplay.

Grave variations were planned, along with a TV dish object, and the old PlumBob design resembling The Sims 1.

First memories included: first kiss (with an animated arrow striking a heart), first cooking attempt, first food fire, first time learning interests, first steps (with a different look), first repair, first move, first failed joke, first successful joke, first book read, first best friends (removed), first friends (in the base game), first chess win, first fight, first discovery of another Sim's cheating, and first romance.

Other removed memories: ran away from the wedding, got a job, peed pants, lost a friend, lost a best friend, couldn’t pay the electricity bill, reached level 5, silver wedding anniversary, some party (icon with a bear wearing a hat), cockroaches!, "I’m the best!", best writer, birthday, cheating without getting caught, job promotion, job demotion, received a bonus at work, got electrocuted, best long-time friends party, fire! The old divorce model was removed, as well as refusing a teenager's love confession, death of a child, death of a spouse, adopted a child!, and maxed out all skills!.

3D icons were found in game/sims2/res/sims3d/objects(0-9).package using SimPE.

More screenshots under the cut. All screenshots available in "The Sims 2 development history" (RU: История разработки Симс 2) forum thread. There are really a lot of these 3D icons 😮.
