* 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://svt.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.
* '''[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.
* 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.
* 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 [http://modthesims.info/wiki.php?title=Load%20Order here] and [http://modthesims.info/t/478024 here]. The '''[http://www.paladins-place.org/images/Download.jpg Hack Conflict Detection Utility]''' created by SimWardrobe can locate possible hack conflicts and lists them. The HCDU lists hack conflicts by load order, so the mod closer to the bottom of the list is usually the "dominant" one.
** 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 is my own personal list, not someone else's.
Line 55 ⟶ 58:
* '''[http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=273244 Community Wedding Fix for Celebration Wedding Arch]''' by Lord Darcy.
** The [[wedding arch]] from ''Celebration! Stuff'' lacked marriage on community lot function, even though the feature was enabled by EA in ''Bon Voyage''. This mod allows Sims to use the Celebration! Stuff wedding arch to get married on a community lot.
* '''[http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=13.0 Dance Sphere in use Fix]''' by TwoJeffs
** Fixes the issue where Sims could not tell whether the [[dance sphere]] was in use or not, so if a Sim was already using it, they may autonomously try to use it and throw a hissy fit about not being able to use it because IT'S IN USE ALREADY!!!
** <small>Good one, TwoJeffs!</small>
* '''[http://cyjon.net/node/394 DJ Booth Fixes]''' by Cyjon
** Fixes various bugs and glitches with [[DJ booth]]s. Unfortunately, it won't fix the "Can't hold dance competition with the Nightlife booth" issue.
Line 83 ⟶ 89:
* '''[http://www.simwardrobe.com/ No Reacting to Rain or Snow]''' by SimWardrobe.
** Access this file via "The Sims 2>Fixes>Seasons Fixes".
* '''[http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=13.0 No Shade Eyes Salute]''' by TwoJeffs
** This prevents Sims from doing the annoying overlay animations introduced in [[The Sims 2: Mansion & Garden Stuff|Mansion & Garden Stuff]] when they go outdoors, including the "Shade eyes from sun" salute, which doesn't check to see whether the Sim has something in their hands. This usually leads to Sims putting objects on their heads, including but not limited to: garbage bags, babies, plates, cans, and baby bottles.

* '''[http://www.simwardrobe.com/ No Social Worker for Hot or Cold]''' by SimWardrobe.
** Access this file via "The Sims 2>Fixes>Seasons Fixes".
Line 102 ⟶ 111:
** All Maxis tables, desks, and end tables have a ''fixed slot height'' of 0.8. If the ''table mesh'' height is lower than that, you'll end up with the mysterious ghostly floating plate. Higher than 0.8, and the table will partially "eat" the object it holds. While this glitch mostly happens for badly made custom content, some pre-made tables suffer from it too. This mod readjusts the slot height for affected tables, so objects are no longer eaten by their tables.
** '''Note''': You must sell and re-purchase the affected tables for the changes to take effect.
* '''[http://modthesims.info/d/519857 Temperate Beach Activities]''' by maybesomethingdunno
** This mod prevents Sims from being able to "sunbathe" when it is cold. Seriously, it's snowing out, and yet you still feel the need to lie shirtless on a frozen beach?
** '''Conflicts with [http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=295611 Treeag's Sunbathe anywhere]'''. This mod includes the features of Sunbathe anywhere, so remove Treeag's mod to avoid unnecessary conflict.
* '''[http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=286380 Unlocked FreeTime Career Outfits (for FreeTime Patch)]''' by Lord Darcy
** After the FreeTime Patch, career outfits could not be purchased from CAS or the Buy catalog at a clothing rack. This mod re-enables that, along with some minor changes, such as townies being unable to spawn in career outfits (seriously, who wanders down the street in a ballet tutu??).
Line 124 ⟶ 136:
** You can either allow all modular stairs to have objects crammed underneath them (even the ones with supports under them), or only those without visible supports.
** '''Note''': Existing stairs must be reconstructed for this mod to take effect.
* '''[http://www.modthesims.info/download.php?t=295611 Sunbathe Anywhere]''' by Treeag
** This allows your Sims to sunbathe anywhere, as long as they are outdoors. Sims no longer have to be at a beach lot just to get a nice tan.
