Welcome to thesims2 LiveJournal Community
A community for the Maxis game The Sims 2!

Membership is open to all, newcomer and resident sims expert alike.

FreeTime is out! Remember to remove mods/hacks from your game before installing.

Search all entries and comments in thesims2! Over 14,000 entries and 118,000 comments are searchable.
Search terms:
Enter multiple search terms for better results. All terms included by default.

• The most important rule if you're asking anything: Check the community entry tags, community search and the community memories. You'll find technical help as well as gameplay help on the most common topics. You can also use the form above to search the community.
  • Please read about our "3 strikes rule". If you receive 3 strikes you will be banned from the community; ignorance is not an excuse.
  • Check Mod The Sims 2, the Sims 2 Wiki and the Unofficial Sims 2 Tech Guide for tech help and common problems, plus content lists.
• Your subject tells a lot. If you need help, provide a few-word summary of the problem in the subject. That way, people who skim the pages won't have to read every word of every post. If you're posting a story, put "story".
• Story updates: Everyone is allowed to post their stories or link to their story updates, but you may only do so once every seven days. You are allowed one picture (or one picture collage) outside of the lj-cut, but it must be reasonably-sized (the largest in-game camera size is acceptable).
• Picture updates: Everyone is also allowed to post random pictures/photoshoots/etc., as often as they like, but all pictures must be behind an lj-cut.
• Userpics/icons must be work-safe. No nudity (even cartoon), sexuality, or violence. Swearing is fine if the text is small/minor. Icons that are "seizure-inducing", i.e. rapidly blinking/flashing are also not allowed. If in doubt, don't use it.
• Make the body clear.
  • Please format the text with the standard font size and colors. Don't use netspeak or ALLCAPS, and try to keep the spelling/grammar decent. Sentence fragments/demands for help are not acceptable.
  • If you're asking for help try to provide some background info such as what happens, and when it happens. If you recieve an error message, putting "or something like that" after it doesn't help; try to get the exact error message. Also, if you can, try and provide systems specs.
  • WE ARE NOT GOOGLE! You may ask where to find very specific custom content, but any large blanket searches (examples: for tattooed skin, for "favorite [cc type]", for goth clothes, for default replacement skins) will be deleted.
  • No "Is [EP] good"/"is [EP] better/worse/shinier/whatever than [EP]" discussions, and no computer specs discussions. Check the reviews instead.
  • All "nude" pics should be put behind a cut with a warning for people who surf at work/school. This includes nudes with added censor bars, as such pictures are still unacceptable in many schools/workplaces.
• You may not delete or screen comments; if there is a comment you're uncomfortable with or feel is off-topic please contact a maintainer rather than taking any action yourself.
• Nothing in violation of the LJ Terms of Service and nothing in violation of EA/Maxis's EULA and Terms of Service. No flaming/harassing people, no account sharing, no discussion of illegal/pirated copies of the game period. We don't care what you do outside this community, but it doesn't belong here.
• No archive conversion requests: we don't change files from .rar to .zip for you. Download a program like WinRar (yes, you can continue to use it for free) or contact the creator of whatever it is you want directly.
• No promotions of other communities or websites are allowed without prior approval from at least one of the listed maintainers below (please note the maintainer who gave you permission to promote in the entry).
• All spam and any attempts to troll will result in an immediate banning from the community, and if necessary will also be reported to LiveJournal abuse.
