New Idea: Parents away -> party time

The only thing you need for this is Community Lot Time which you can find here: http://www.moreawesomethanyou.com/smf/index.php?topic=7462.0

Let the parents go on vacation or let them go out all night while the teens are at home.
When the parents return to their house, with this mod, they won't arrive immediatly, but when the time they have been away has past. So if the parents were away from 8pm till 3am and return home, it will still be 8pm for the house and so for the teens, but the parents aren't there yet.
From 8pm till 3am the teens will be home alone and can have a party!
You can see in the notifications how long the parents will be gone so you know when the teens need to have cleaned up after the party. (In this example that's 3am).

General happenings season 4:
In the fourth-season premiere, Ross and Rachel briefly reconcile after Ross pretends to read a long letter that Rachel wrote for him, but continues to insist that the two were on a break so they break up again. Joey dates Kathy (Paget Brewster), a girl that Chandler has a crush on. Kathy and Chandler later kiss, which causes drama between Chandler and Joey. Joey forgives Chandler only after he spends a day in a box as punishment. Phoebe becomes a surrogate mother for her brother and his wife Alice (Debra Jo Rupp). Monica and Rachel are forced to switch apartments with Joey and Chandler after losing a bet during a quiz game, but manage to switch back by bribing them with Knicks season tickets and a one-minute kiss (off-screen) between the girls. Ross begins dating an English woman named Emily (Helen Baxendale), and the season finale features their wedding in London. Chandler and Monica sleep together, and Rachel decides to attend Ross and Emily's wedding. While saying his vows, Ross uses the wrong name at the altar (Rachel's), to the shock of his bride and the guests.

The One With Joey's New Girlfriend - S4E05
Chandler introduces himself to a good looking girl (Kathy), only to find out that she's dating Joey; as they get to know each other, Chandler's feelings get deeper. Whenever Rachel is around, Ross goes out of his way to mention Amanda, a single mother he's been seeing; Rachel counters by dating Josh, a much younger man; however, Amanda uses Ross as a babysitter so she can date another man, and Josh steals from Rachel. Ross uses weird gestures he made up as a kid instead of offensive ones. Phoebe has a bad cold which makes her singing voice sexy; when she recovers she desperately tries to catch another cold; she even kisses Gunther.


Joey: He's dating Kathy and he doesn't have a clue about Chandler's feelings. He even thinks Chandler hates her. Chandler tries to keep up appearances so Joey wouldn't know he loves Kathy.

Chandler: He sees a pretty girl (Kathy) in the coffeehouse. He walks over her to talk to her, but it appears she already dates Joey.
She stays the night and they watch something with Ernie Kovacs at 2.30 together. It appears they have a lot in common (wonderbroom) and Chandler falls in love with her more and more.
He tells people secrets so they'll like him.

Ross: He and Rachel want to make eachother jealous.
Ross dates Amanda. But Rachel says they went to Chuck E. Cheese with the kids and they didn't even kiss. Chandler told her.
Then he has a date with Amanda, but he's just her nanny so she can go out with a guy she's rejecting for over a month.

Rachel: She dates Josh, a college student, but she thinks he steals from her and he does steal from Monica and give it to Rachel as a gift.
Her birthday is May 5th.

Monica: Nothing much happens to her. Except she "steals" Phoebe's cold and she wants it back. Rachel and Ross fight over their dates to make eachother jealous and Monica tells them the truth.

Phoebe: She has a cold and want to keep it cause it makes her sound sexy. When she hears Gunther might have a cold, she kisses him. He feels guilty and talks to Rachel about it.

New Idea: Serious Trait

I know traits are not possible in TS2 as they are in TS4, but with some workarounds, mods and some effort and imaginatioin everything is possible in these games.

The original idea for this thread (for Ts4) can be found here: http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=538120 by Zerbu

In The Sims 4
The Serious trait has the following effects…

1. Sims will not suffer from low Fun until they drop into the extreme levels, and even then, they only get a +2 Bored moodlet.
2. Sims will gain all mental skills slightly faster.
3. Sims will gain most social skills (as most related to jokes and pranks) slower, with the exception of Charisma, which they will gain slightly faster.
4. Sims will get an Energized moodlet from a day at work that would be boring to other Sims.
5. Playful emotional auras will emit a Bored moodlet instead.

In The Sims 2
You need insiminator (or a similar mod) for this

1. With insiminator it's possible to make needs static and change them as you like. So you can make sure Fun is always above 50%
2. You can change skills like you want with insiminator so the sim with this trait can get a head start.
3. I don't know if there really are social skills in TS2, but the reputation meter can be changed with the insiminator so that's a good alternative.
4. Also here the need energy and I think also work performance can be changed with insiminator
5. For this one I have no idea how to do this in TS2, but you can always add things to this list as this is not a mod, but a workaround. You can alter it as you want. It's just an idea to give your sims the trait Serious

New Solved Issue: Make Anyone Store Manager

It really bugs me that only sims with bazillion badges can be a store manager. It takes forever when starting a business before the owner can stay at home (eg take care of the kids) and just has to phone the manager every day to check in.
As far as I know there is no mod to solve this, but there is a workaround.

The only mod you need is the insiminator or another mod that can adjust the level of the career the sim is in and a mod to select a sim. (I DON'T recommend the boolprop).

• Hire a sim you want to be the store manager
• Make that sim selectable
• Check its job panel
• Change the level the sim is in to level two of the 'career'
• And HOORAY the sim you hired is now promoted to store manager
• Now deselect the sim

You're done.

I hope you like this workaround. Have fun!

The One With The Ballroom Dancing - S4E04
Joey chews out Mr. Treeger, the superintendent, for making Rachel cry; Mr. Treeger decides to evict Rachel and Monica (who have an illegal sublet of Monica's Grandmother's apartment). In order to smooth things over, Joey agrees to be Mr. Treeger's practice ballroom dancing partner. Chandler tries to end his membership at his gym; Ross goes with him for moral support but ends up joining as well. Phoebe struggles (unsuccessfully) to contain her desires for Rick, one of her massage clients; she ends up being fired and he turns out to be married.


Joey: He sticks up for Rachel because Mr Treeger made Rachel cry, but Monica and Rachel are illegally subletting the apartment and Mr Treeger wants to expose them. Joey tries to make things right and Mr Treeger agrees if Joey helps him to learn ballroom dancing. Treeger wants to impress Marge on The Super Ball for superintendents. Joey really enjoys the dance.

Chandler: He's a gym member, but he doesn't go. He can't quite because they always convince him to stay and they bring out Maria to do that. Ross goes with him and in the end they are both a member of the gym.

Ross: After helping Chandler quiting the gym he becomes a member as well and they are going to cut out of it at the source. They are going to the bank to close their account, but they end up with a joint banking account.

Rachel: She takes out the trash for the first time and Mr Treeger, the building manager, gave her a hard time because she clogged the trash chute.

Monica: Nothing much happens to her.

Phoebe: She doesn't want to go to work "Healing Hands" because she has a really gorgeous guy, Rick, as massageclient, but her boss mrs. Potter fires people for messing around with clients. She has made up her feet to do some feet flirting though. She massages him way too long and admits to him she has certain feelings for him. Her boss catches them kissing and Phoebe says he's her husband, but its his wife on the phone asking where he is. She got fired for it.

New idea: Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock

This is not really a new idea, more a mod I would love to exist. I love the TV series The Big Bang Theory and it always cracks me up when they play the game Rock Paper Scissors Lizard Spock.
It would be so cool/funny if the name in the menu in The Sims could be changed. I don't think it's needed to change the animation (though that would be really cool) just changing the name.

New Idea: The Odd Couple - The Blind Leading the Blind Date - S1E4

This idea is based on my idea to analyse every Friends episode.
In general the idea is to give you one episode per blogpost. In every blogpost I'll shortly describe what happens with the main characters of The Odd Couple in that certain episode. SPOILER
You can then play this in the game as you wish.
I don't know The Odd Couple as much by heart as Friends so I haven't written a main blogpost about it (yet).

General happenings season 1:
Sloven Oscar Madison (Matthew Perry) and the organised Felix Unger (Thomas Lennon), two friends from college, become roommates again after their wives leave them. Not long after they move in together, Oscar realises his mistake. Oscars assistent Dani and his lifelong agent Teddy have their hands full to keep Oscar on track while he's working as a sport radiohost, while worrying about his new living situation. Fortunately, there is the idiosyncratic neighbor Emily, who helps Felix to get used to his life as a single man and to keep his hosophobia (fear of dirt and germs) in control. Despite the fact that they sometimes make eachother crazy, they agree that after their divorce they can make something beautiful out of this absurd situation.

The Blind Leading the Blind Date - S1E4
Felix and Oscar attempt to help a friend find a date, but Oscar is distracted by his own love life, leaving Felix to his own methods as he plays matchmaker.

Oscar: Dani works 3 years now for Oscar but he doesn't meddle in her private life. He sets Dani up with some guys at the sportsbar, but he doesn't avhieve because she refuses them for little things like not answering their mom's call or using an expensive word or winking.
Then Oscar finds a girl, Kim, and starts dating her. It's a onenightstand according to Felix and Oscar wants to prove him otherwise. He admits at the end he was wrong as it appears she steals money from Emily on her shift. She also steals her tips.
There's a guy in the bar who has some words with Oscar and doesn't like him. Oscar introduces him to Dani and they really hit it off with talking about Oscar.

Felix: Felix does a lot of sports and yoga. He notices that Dani didn't put here hair up and ordered fries instead of juice. He wonders what's wrong. He finds Will for Dani, but they don't hit it off.
He had asked, Cindy, who plays the violin, to be in the bar for some romantic music when introducing Will to Dani, but then he asks her out. Although the date went well, he doesn't think it will last. A cello (Felix) and a violin (Cindy) doesn't match.

Teddy: He wants to set up Dani with his brother in law, Alan, who lives in his basement.

Dani: She is upset because there's a schoolreunion and she is probably the only one who is not married.

Felix helps her to find a date for the reunion. Oscar is going to help her to, to go against felix.

The Birthday Party - S1E3
Felix becomes upset at his surprise birthday party when a friend mentions his ex-wife. Oscar attempts to cheer him up and help him move on.

Oscar: He persuading Casey to go on a drink with him as she doesn't want to go on a date. He has to organise a surprisebirthdayparty for Felix at the last minute because he didn't want Casey to think of him as a bad friend for Felix. So he invites Rod, Dani and Teddy and organises it in a hurry.

Casey: She's back from Europe. She thinks Oscar is a bad friend for making Felix cry on his birthday. So he says he's giving a surprisebirthdayparty.
She asks Oscar to leave the surpriseparty because her plane leaves in 7 hours. But then Felix is missing and Oscar knows where he is and knows he is the one who has to go.

Emily: She really lives in the shadow of her sister. She's also a bit in love with Felix. She has put real thought and effort in searching a present for his birthday. She gives him a very expensive (not in the US available) vaccuum.

Teddy: His daughter has a sleepover. His wife said he was the host for the sleepover so he brought his daugter and her two friends. Oscar invites them in.

Dani: She gives Felix a bird, but it gets sucked with the new vaccuum.
