** Ah, this popular mod can instantly maximize your Sim's skills, including hidden ones. The correct [[memories]] will be given and any relevant wants will be fulfilled. If you have ''Open for Business'', you can also give your Sims shiny gold [[Talent Badges|talent badges]] with the snap of a finger - again, wants and memories given! If you have ''Pets'', you can use the "boolProp controlPets true" cheat, select your pets, and then click on the book to teach them commands in the blink of an eye! No more grumbling about how your pet followed you when you told them to stay! With ''Bon Voyage'', your Sims can learn the gestures (though they will not master it, so you might still need to have them meet a vacation local to master the gesture), massages, dances, and any other skills without the need to pack a suitcase and catch a cab to the airport! Heck, you don't even need to leave SimNation! If ''FreeTime'' is installed, you can use this to max out your hobby enthusiasm in the specified hobby you choose, as well as learn the new Parenting skill! If ''Apartment Life'' is installed, Sims can learn all the new life skills, as well as their magic skill and Breakdance skill. Seriously, just get it! |

Revision as of 16:12, 22 November 2014
This is a personal list of recommended DLC for The Sims 2. A few important notes:
- Need help with installing custom content? See here or here.
- While I do use a large majority of items listed here, I don't use all of them. Don't ask why, just personal preference. This is mainly to list annoyance fixing mods that other people might benefit from.
- If a download link here is broken, contact me.
- 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!
- 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 Cyjon's mods require his 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 Director's Cut. I may link to it occasionally. The complete list of mods inside the director's cut can be found 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.
- 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 Simslice are illegal, pretty much. The EULA is cited on the 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 here and here. The 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.
Enjoy!

"A sim is able to tell a shower is dirty from ten miles away, but as he climbs the stairs he doesn't hear the water running, doesn't care about the closed bathroom door, doesn't see the steam coming out from underneath, and then is shocked to find his wife taking a shower. He exits, stands in the hall for a second, and then tries to clean the dirty shower again. And again. And again."

Teleporters
- SimLogical Teleporters by Inge Jones
- This teleporter allows you to teleport any Sim over to the lot instantly, as well as adopt any children or strays, as well as allowing you to "Zap" any unwanted Sims from the lot. It can also be used to move townies and such in, and also allows you to make Sims a townie, downtownie, etc.
- Important: The coding to make Sims a vacation local works, but the only issue is that they will not have the coding to master the vacation gestures and dances. Use Argon's Townie Brick for custom vacation locals instead.
- Visual Teleporter by SimWardrobe
- Access this file via "The Sims 2>Objects>Other Objects>Visual Teleporter".
- Works similarly to the teleporter above, except it's graphical and more newb-friendly.
Other
- Magic Wand by J.M. Pescado
- This is an interesting one. This "Magic Wand" - really just a cubical box - does two things to your lot:
- 1. It resets all objects to their minimum value, so if you sell the objects or sell the lot, all the objects will be sold at the price of Honest Ed's doormats.
- 2. It can attempt to force a lot that had Live mode locked for some reason to be playable. There has been various issues with owned business lots being locked out of Live mode and you can only access Build and Buy mode. While this can try to unstick the lot, you should see this thread first. The bug seems to occur more frequently if your Sim drives their own vehicle to the business lot. If you have Bon Voyage or later, try walking to the lot instead. Otherwise, take a taxi.
- To install this object: The "magicwand.package" file goes into the Downloads folder. The "magicwandcollection.package" file goes in the Collections folder. Both folders are in the "My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2" directory.
- To find this object: This object does not appear in the buy or build mode catalog. You must enter build mode and then click on the "Collections" tab at the bottom (it should be the icon of a folder or something like that). The magic wand will be in a collection with the OFB logo, so hover your cursor over the icons to check.
- To use this object: Simply take the magic wand from its build mode collection and "wave" it around the lot. Just wave it around your lot a couple of times and see if your problems are fixed.
- This is an interesting one. This "Magic Wand" - really just a cubical box - does two things to your lot:
- Seating Aging Fix by Cyjon
- Sims can no longer avoid death just by sitting in a chair. The game won't age up Sims who are sitting or lying down. This means that technically Sims can live forever just by sitting in a chair. With this mod, the Grim Reaper will rudely interrupt Sims when it is time for them to go.
Untested
- Memory Commander by j7n
- Seems to have something to do with managing memories or something. I don't know, haven't used it, but it looks useful.
- This post contains the original author and a short description.
