New TS2 EP Get To Work: Photographer

I have tried TS4 when Get To Work came out because I really like the concept and the idea. And I like that part of TS4, but TS2 is still the game I want to play. So I decided to find some mods that I can use so the concept and idea can be implemented in The Sims 2.

PHOTOGRAPHER
What you need:
  1. A huge camera: E.g. the careerreward of the Artist career of University. You can have this right away with this cheatc unlockCareerRewards.
  2. Pose boxes: http://modthesims.info/browse.php?f=642
  3. This can be very handy to build a photostudio: http://modthesims.info/d/492057

I hope these things will help your sim to build a photostudio.

New Painting: It's NOT a Boy

When the store runs out of a banner saying "It's A Girl" you have to be creative if you absolutely want such a banner. It's what Phoebe did in the series Friends when decorating the apartment for when Rachel and Emma got home from the hospital.
To create this I used a banner I found on the Internet and I used the word "Not" from a photo I found of that episode of Friends: The One Where Emma Cries. So it's Phoebe's handwriting you see on the wall hanging in The Sims.

IMPORTANT needed
EP7 Free Time is needed to make this work


Recolor/standalone
This object is actually a clone from the Maxis painting: 'U-R-Here -n- We-R-Here' Poster
But I didn't change the GUID.
So if you just download this, it will be a recolor of the painting 'U-R-Here -n- We-R-Here' Poster. (The other recolors still work).
If you change the GUID (just don't upload it again), you'll have a new object.

Details
The price, environment,... is still the same, but as this is a clone, you can change it as you like.
I didn't change the catalog description. It's still Maxis'.

Policy
As mentioned above you can change the details/make it a standalone object, but just for personal use. Don't upload it again with your changes.

New postcards: 6 new birth cards

These are six new birth postcards for your sims to send to anyone they know in the neighbourhood. The receiver will get a small boost to the relationship with the sender when the recipient looks at the card.

You will need the postalsystem of MogHughson which you can find here. That thread also contains all information about how to use these cards. You can even make your cards yourself with different categories.

I used google to find some images and texts for these cards.

SFS: http://simfileshare.net/folder/84038/
The download can be found under: Buy Mode > Hobbies

Envelopes
I changed the text inside the cards. I used the Simlish font for this but very small. I also changed the stamp so it will look a little different comparing to the first cards I made.
I hope you like it.

New Idea: Friends - The One Where They're Going to PARTY! - S4E09

In general the idea is to give you one episode per blogpost. In every blogpost I'll shortly describe what happens with the six main characters of Friends in that certain episode. SPOILER
You can then play this in the game as you wish.
The blogpost about the personality, family tree,... of the six main characters in general is found here: http://bit.ly/FriendsGeneralMain
                                  

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 Where They're Going To PARTY! - S4E09
Phoebe and Monica buy a van (with a mural, flashing nipples, and other "extras") for their catering business; Monica fills in for a food critic in a small local newspaper; after she gives a restaurant a scathing review, they offer her a job as the new head chef; she has to chose between it and the catering business. Ross and Chandler make plans to party with Gandolf, the party wizard; Gandolf cancels and Ross and Chandler are left bored, until Joey convinces them that they can party themselves. Rachel tries for a new position at work, but her boss doesn't quite cooperate.

Rachel

There is an opening for an assistent buyer in Junior Miss. She asks her boss Joanna to talk to the hiring committee. Joanna is in the hiring committee, but doesn't talk very fondly about Rachel when she has her interview. She minimizes Rachel's accomplishments because she doesn't want to lose such a good assistent as Rachel. Rachel confronts her and Joanna agrees to talk to the committee again. The next morning Rachel hears Joanna had an accident and didn't talk to the committee anymore.

Monica

She fills in as food critic for Cilantro Larry (they met in cooking school) for the Chelsea Reporter. It's just one night a week so she and Phoebe can still do the catering business which they just got a van for.
She writes a rather bad review for Allessandro's an Italian restaurant.  Allessandro comes talking about her review and she shows him how to make marinara sauce. She gets a joboffer as head chef so she has to give up the catering business. She has a hard time at her new job because chef Emilio is the father of half the kitchen staff.

Phoebe

She is excited about Rachel getting the job and has found a catering job herself. A wedding reception. But then Monica tells her she got a job as head chef at Allessandro's. She is really dissappointed. She decided to hear Monica out about what to do with the van: Mostly being a delivery person or picking up stuff. But as Monica really wanted Phoebe to do something with the van, Phoebe decides to forgive Monica and let her take the joboffer.

Joey

He convinces the guys they don't need Gandalf to party. They go out and go to the coffee house to get some energy again, but they admit to eachother they are exhausted. They ask for decaf coffee and complain about the music being so loud and their ears ringing afterwards.

Chandler

He and Ross are going to PARTY! with Mike "Gandalf" Ganderson. Only the funnest guy in the world. But "Gandalf" cancels their plans so Joey takes them out instead (being a bit jealous at "Gandalf").

Ross

New Videotutorial: Registering GUID in SimPE

When you want to create new objects, food, careers,... for The Sims 2 you need a program called SimPE and you need to commit a new GUID to your creation (otherwise it will overwrite existing creations).
Long time ago when commiting a GUID to a creation in SimPE it also registered the creation in the SimPE database automatically. But now it doesn't go automatically anymore so you need to register the creation on SimPE website yourself.

In this video I explain how to register a new GUID in SimPE. This is the last videotutorial on this subject so now you can have as many GUIDs as you want and you know where to find them, register them 'both SimPE and the website) and keep generating new ones.


Website (+program) SimPE: https://sims.ambertation.de/en/

New Idea: Ever-Dull Trait

I know traits are not possible in TS2 as they are in TS4, but with some workarounds everything is possible in these games. So this is a new trait for your sims.

The original idea for this thread (for TS4) can be found here:
http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=540327

In The Sims 4

  1. Sims will be Sad by default instead of Fine.
  2. All Happy Moodlets will have absolutely no effect on these Sims.


In The Sims 2
You need insiminator (or sth like that) for this to work

  1. With the insiminator you can keep your sims aspiration points and moods in red or neautral permanently. So you sims will be Sad by default.
  2. You can let their fears come true more than their wants.
    1. If you made the aspiration mood permanently fears and wants fulfilling won't have any effect.

New Videotutorial: Insiminator Relations Adjustor

The InSimenator is a cheat object that is largely built around the testingcheatsenabled cheat, such as the ability to make Sims selectable and unselectable, making them pregnant with anyone in the neighborhood, seeing their gender preference, summoning them, killing them, setting relationships, etc. The cheat appears as an object, and is basically a way to access many of the functions of testingcheatsenabled without having to use cheat codes.

The InSimenator can be used to resurrect a dead Sim without having University, FreeTime, or Apartment Life installed. It can be used to age a child townie into a teen without having FreeTime installed. It can also be used to set relationships, summon Sims to a lot, promote and delete, make a Sim richer or poorer, etc.  The InSimenator has many separate objects known as "sectionals", most of which have options that are not available on the full InSimenator machine. The InSimenator machine and "sectionals" appear in the Electronics -> All menu in Buy Mode; they are not in any sub-category. The "sectionals" are free, though the full InSimenator machine costs §1.

In this video I explain every option on the Relations Adjustor.
You can find it in Buy Mode -> Electronics -> All

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 Chandler In A Box - S4E08


Joey is still upset at Chandler about Kathy; he tries to get over it but can't, and decides to move out... until he and Chandler stumble upon a way for Chandler to make it up to him--spending most of Thanksgiving day in a box. Monica injures her eye but doesn't want to have to see Richard again; she arranges to see the on-call doctor, who turns out to be very cute... and Richard's son. The gang decides to do secret Santa for each other; Ross torments Rachel about always exchanging gifts, until she can't stand it and shows him all the stuff she saved from their relationship.

Rachel

She exchanges gifts. The bagpack she got from Chandler (big dog) and a golden necklace Ross gave her for Christmas. Ross wants to see the necklace he gave her the year before. But she shows a silver necklace. He's mad at her for exchanging his gift. He said that he HAS feelings. But she keeps the things that matter (a fosil from the museum which is a million years old where people are actually looking for).

Monica

She got ice in her eye and she has to go to the eyedoctor. She doesn't want to go because Richard is her eyedoctor, but he's out of town so his son is the eyedoctor for this time. He's alone for thanksgiving and she invites him over. Her friends think it's sick. But married a lesbian (Ross), left a man at the altar (Rachel), fell in love with a gay icedancer (Phoebe), threw a girl's wooden leg in an open fire (Joey), lives in a box (Chandler).
She kisses Timothy (Richard's son) and it reminded her of Richard. So they break up.

Phoebe

She and Monica have just started  a business and have like no money, so they ask to do a Secret Santa this year. Everyone gets a gift and there's the surprise of who gets whom.

Joey

He's really mad at Chandler for kissing Kathy as she was his girlfriend. He will punish him for 5 years. He wants to move out and goes to his parents for a few days. They start talking about the robbery. Joey was thinking how he let Chandler down. And he lets Chandler sit in box. The meaning of the box is threefold: 1. It gives Chandler the time to think about what he did. 2. It proves how much I care about my friendship with Joey. And 3. It hurts.
He wants to trade his Secret Santa for Chandler. His gift to Chandler is letting have him Kathy.

Chandler

It's Thanksgiving. He got Ross for Secret Santa, but he wants to give Rachel a (girly) briefcase. Phoebe is too excited to switch with Chandler so at the end he doesn't. He wants to watch the parade. He's joking around in the box.
Kathy comes to see him. She doesn't want to become between two best friends. She breaks up with Chandler, but he runs after her after Joey lets him out of the box.

Ross

He asks Chandler to switch with him for Secret Santa as he got Monica and he already gives her something for Chanoeka. But Chandler wanted to give Ross a (girly) briefcase. He gives Rachel a hard time for exchanging gifts.
