Line 6:
* '''Always read the mod description page'''. If a mod gives you specific instructions on a special place to install it, or some "Do's and Don'ts", '''read them'''. Please don't come running to me complaining about how a mod broke your game because you didn't read the documentation, because it's not my fault that you didn't read instructions. Some downloads may come with a "Readme" or "RTFM" text file - read that as well!
* '''[http://www.simwardrobe.com/ SimWardrobe]''' doesn't allow direct links to individual pages. All links simply redirect to the main page. I will usually post directions on how to get to the mod, usually in the form of "The Sims 2>Fixes>Seasons fixes", as an example.
** [https://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=595915 By the looks of it], SimWardrobe's site is dead. There is a folder on [
* '''Many of Cyjon's mods require his [http://cyjon.net/node/323 Smarter EP Check] mod'''. Many of BoilingOil's mods do too. I recommend you get this mod now so you don't have to remember which mod needs it or not, and just leave it in your Downloads folder. It won't affect your gameplay in any way or form, so you won't lose or gain anything just by having it.
* '''Many of [[J.M. Pescado]]'s mods are available in his [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php/topic,8.0.html Director's Cut]'''. I may link to it occasionally. The complete list of mods inside the director's cut can be found [http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=14444.0;attach=10692 here] (just unzip the RAR file and extract the .doc file). '''Note''': You do NOT have to install all the mods inside the Director's Cut! Only install what you want to install. Hack descriptions are available [[User:K6ka/Pescado's Director's Cut Hack Descriptions|'''here''']].
* This list may contain links to the [[Paysites Must Be Destroyed]] website. No, they're not illegal. In fact, EA's Terms of Use says that it is '''illegal to charge money to distribute custom content for any of their products'''. Any custom content you make for the game '''must''' be made available for free. Paysites like what used to be [[The Sims Resource]] and [http://www.simslice.com/ Simslice] are illegal, pretty much. The EULA is cited on the [http://svs.paysites.mustbedestroyed.org:8080/ website's home page], and it makes it pretty clear that paysites are illegal. By now I hope you will put away any complaints about how these links to freely obtained content that originally had to be paid for are illegal, because it's the other way around.
* Some hacks may conflict with other hacks. Hack conflicts are not the end of the world, usually. The game usually loads mods in alphabetical order, so mods that are closer to "A" will load first, and mods closer to "Z" will load last. Code that loads last will overwrite code that loaded first, so usually the coding in the mod closer to "Z" will override earlier mods. More information on load order [https://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Load%20Order here] and [https://modthesims.info/t/478024 here]. The '''[
** Anyway, the point I'm trying to make here is that I will usually list mod conflicts if they conflict with another mod that's also on this list, and I will usually provide a fix for it.

* This mod '''requires''' (and is pretty much '''mandatory''' for) ''[[The Sims 2:Apartment Life|Apartment Life]]''.
* This mod fixes countless bugs and glitches, many very serious indeed. It should be used alongside the [[The Sims 2: Apartment Life/Patch|AL patch]], but does not replace it.
* The original version disabled love letters that are delivered after a good [[Dating|date]], largely because Pescado found it broken but didn't bother fixing it, since he never liked it himself anyway. I made a modified version of alfixes [

Line 133 ⟶ 127:
* This mod forces the game to keep the two Sims in love. However, unless you have another mod that does this, the two can't perform any romantic interactions with each other until the other one grows up. That's how it is in ''The Sims 3'' at least, so it only makes sense to bring it to ''The Sims 2'' as well. Fine with me.

Line 703:
* Sims will no longer autonomously take out the trash unless the trash bin or compacter is at least half full. This was an annoyance in the original game, as Sims would always autonomously take out the trash as soon as the trash can had just one object in it. What's the point of a trash can, then? Will not affect player-directed interactions.

|'''[
|Marhis
|
Line 753:
* This mod allows Sims to stick with "fun" activities longer. In the unmodded game, Sims will break out of fun activities faster, sooner, and more easily than "skilling" activities. This becomes a problem when you want the Sims to actually play for much longer, such as to keep them occupied. (Besides, who seriously just stops playing that easily in order to scrub the bathtub? Nyah!) This can permit some fun objects, such as the [[Career_rewards#Tribal_Flame_a_la_Coconut_Pinball|Tribal Flame a la Coconut Pinball]], to actually have a positive effect, rather than a measly peanut machine.

Line 948:
* Objects make distinctive noises when Sims are interacting with them, such as a soft, cushion sofa making a squishy noise. However, sound attribution in later EPs were largely disregarded, such as the ''Seasons'' roofed bench making the soft cushion noise. Some objects won't make any sounds at all, because EA broke the coding for them. This mod fixes the sound for most pre-made objects.

* When teens run away from home, their skills get randomized, which could potentially ruin some of the skills they have. This mod changes that behavior so that, instead of skills getting randomized, teens will instead slowly build their skills. Because when you're out on your own on the streets, you do, in fact, ''learn'' stuff, despite popular societal belief.
