You can do it if you have SimPE. I am assuming you know your way around it a bit here, but say you want to age an adult back to a teen, change her in SimPE to a child with 0 days left in that life stage and commit. Go back to the game click on her and choose "grow up", she will now be a teen.

If you don't know your way around it, then you need to click on file/open, browse to the neighbourhood your sim is in, and choose plug-in view. At the top there is a pull down plug in menu, one of them is "sim browser", click this then all the sims in your neighbourhood will be displayed. Click on the sim you want. At the bottom in plug-in view you should see all the information about that sim, it should say what life stage they are at and how many days they have left in that stage. Once you have located this, follow the steps above.
You can get SimPE here

I´m new to the forums here and I really need some help. I have been wondering why I keep seeing pictures of Sims 2 houses with stairs that have no sides (like you used to be able to have in Sims 1). I would really be SOOOOO appreciative if anyone could tell me how people get these stairs. I don´t make my own objects because I don`t know how (I`m stupid like that). I just love building houses and am so frustrated that it seems like everyone else has those stairs but me (they are so much nicer than the average ones you get in the game - and are so important when you`re trying to make a really contemporary house). If I`m just being stupid please tell me I won`t be offended. I really just want to learn and DESPERATELY need to know about those stairs. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

:confused:

Use the small stairs (connecting stairs) instead of the large stairs. They will stretch to any length as long as you have room for them. Just play around with it and you will see what I mean. Good Luck!

-use the "counterfieting machine"* on the night then it will NEVER get burned
-the elixir of life can be drinked by visitors!, so dring it before other does :)
-when one sims die the enemy will laugh even they both caught in fire
-there are a fey corrections, your sims cannot actually "USE" the shrub to pee, but your visitors can!
-did you ever met Bella, yes Bella Goth from The Sims 1,She can onlly be seen at Strangerhood on every Thursday 4PM
-You can call the Grim Reaper(death) in Strangerhood, He will come as a usual visitor, Eats,Dance,talk,and use toilet
-after you can call The Grim Reaper, You can actually Flirt and Get Married with "it". sounds funny. After married with your sims, that the grim reaper will quit his job(as a legal killer)and be a usual worker.(hahaha :lol: ). than you can control the Grim Reaper, If you use he as your sims,there is a new interaction if youy click another sims, "Kill",yes im very sure!!! I dont know if it is a bug...

i would like to ask you if you've already discovered how to make a sim younger, because i really need to know if it's possible and how to do it, and i can't find anything.

Thanks for you attention.

there is a way to make your sim younger use the elixir of life,

[hexywoman79]

Thanks alot for that VioletSim28. I feel quite embarrassed because a few days after I posted the question I realized how to do it. Needless to say I felt pretty stupid, but I guess everybody has to start somewhere.

P.S. Thanks for not laughing at me.

[darkblue]

moet, thanks for your help, for now i've been drinking the elixir of life, and it is working fine, maybe i'll try SimPe too.

Another question maybe a little stupid, anyone knows a cheat to aloud us to have control of our guests, and employes? I think i've read something about it a few days ago, but now i can't find anything :S

Thanks, i apreciate your attention, and sorry for my bad english :S

I tried out the spaghetti theory, and suprisingly it worked for me :D My simmie had twin girls :wub: and had eaten spaghetti for dinner before she and her husband woohooed, as well as during her pregnancy. So either I was very lucky :huh: or the spaghetti actually works.

My sim ate spaghetti twice during her pregnacy, and she had twins! :rofl:

So... if I just make a Downloads folder and put it in the sims 2 file then it will mystically work? if so, COOL! if not... then what. See... i don't know a bunch about programming, but if the folder isnt there, doesnt that mean that the coding isnt there to read it? again, guessing.

thanks!

Yes, it will work. :D Create a new folder inside the sims2 folder in "My Documents" and rename this new folder "Downloads", unzip the files to this folder and they will work.

If you have downloaded walls and floors you need to click on the unzipped file and install the wall or floor in the game.

I built a sim house and a couple sides are angled for a bay window effect, but I don't know what the cheat is to angle a window :confused: . I looked in the cheats window in the game and doesn't say anything for angled windows :huh: . I appreciate your help :rah: :D

Cutie_Girl24... angleing windows in the sims 2 does not require a cheat... in fact, its alot easier with the move_objects on/off cheat OFF. just put it over the wall, and assuming there is a grid under the wall where you could place floor tiles, it will angle. at least, it should... i've done it a hundred times that way. it is such a collasal pain for me with that cheat on though... :Oo:

lorrswim34, the pie menu is that nifty menu that pops up when you click on something. You know.. the one with your sim's head in the middle and all the options around it? that one. :)

as far as the pregnancy... no clue there. you can just adopt, by calling the adoption agency on the phone which happens next day, and the advantage is that you get to choose the age of the kid... baby, toddler, or kid... but there isnt any of that cool genetics stuff. Anyways. what i do is turn free will on so they take care of themselves, turn on ultra speed (just hit the 3 key) and go make coffee, and when I come back, TADA! BABIES!

MULTIPLE BIRTHS

I found a proggie on MTS2 that allows you to have twins, triplets, or quads.. you can choose how many you want and a few other features. I haven't tried it, but I hope it works. That stupid download folder thing is prohibiting me trying it.. or actually, it working. Anyways. I tried the suggestion on that to create one and it didnt work so I dont know. (Sorry if I'm breaking some rule by mentioning this since its on another site. I looked in the rules section and didnt see anything about it...)

I bought University EP today! :rah: YAY! maybe that will fix it... *sigh* i don't know how this happened. Anyone else had the problem?

-angel-fire- yes, it is as simple as that. Make a folder called Downloads inside My Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2.
No, the program can read it - it may be that Uni will put it in for you but I had to put mine in by hand the first time I played Sims 2 too.
Happy downloading!

are-rip, I've never seen Bella in any of these ways.
At least in my game, and I believe in many other people's, Bella is a Townie in StrangeTown. She will walkby - and in my newly re-installed Strangetown she was the first walkby at General Grunt's house. See picture.

:cool:

are-rip said:

Bella Goth is a very weird character actually.You can met her in this 4 ways,

1. he will show up in the strangerhood between 6 AM to 3 PM on Thursday.(you must buy the 'Bella Potrait' and a radio, and a cofee maker. first open the radio and change to jazz,ceep tuning until you heard a song named "good evening bella", then click on the bella's potrait and choose view. after that make a cofee. there will be a chance that Bella Goth will Come to your house.
2. In University.(I've seen it twice). if you didn't declare majors until junior year, your sims will met her when going back from class. and then. you will have message like "<sim name> met prof.Bella in the class today"
3. in Paranormal career track, Bella will become your friends. My sim was a Tarot Card reader. one day he brong friends from work. I was extremely scock when the "friends " he brought was Bella goth
4. the last way is a little bit tricky. Did you know Don Luthario, in pleasantville? you have to be best friend to him, then bella will come to your house

My trick of the day is this:

I found out that children don't have to take the bus to school! They can walk. Unlike real life, there is no penalty. At least none that I've noticed. If my child(ren)'s needs are low I just let them sleep in, wash, bathe, etc then send them walking before 2:30PM game time.

[frisbud]

Jemcrystal,

As we already have similar threads to this that have been stickied at the top of the forum for a while now, I have merged your post into there.

Small tip that's rather logical... don't play with toddlers just after feeding them. XD Otherwise your Sim will need to go shower/bathe.

My preferred patern of action with a baby: 1) play with baby [three times]; 2) feed baby; 3) cuddle baby [three times]; 4) change baby; 5) put baby in crib. You're done til the next cycle.
