First of all, the Sims 2 has just been released. Second, it takes time to figure out the code, which is far more complex than the first game. So, currently, while our greatest minds sift through the code, there are no Sim 2 objects yet - they haven't been created and there are no tools yet to do so. It could take weeks, months or even close to a year before such things are available. Remember, modding is done in people's free time, which is precious.

Announced December 2006, The Sims 2 Seasons is the 5th expansion pack for The Sims 2 series. This expansion doesn't just add the popular community request of weather to your sims everyday lives, now they can experience all the seasons (or only some of them if you choose) in any order you wish. Perhaps you want your sims to live in perpetual winter, or maybe you'd prefer them to have two seasons of Spring followed by two seasons of Autumn, the choice will be yours.

It's the latest simulation game of Maxis, where you can manage virtual people. Build their houses, choose their look, make them happy or not. Fill their desires or see their fears become true, it's up to you. To learn more about it, have a look at the official Sims 2 site or at Aspyr site, if you're a Mac user.

Note: Some of the information in this FAQ comes from the EA websites and their technical knowledge database. This FAQ is intended to support the PC Sims 2 expansion pack called The Sims 2 Seasons; for more information on other Sims 2 expansion packs and titles available, see thesims2.co.uk homepage.

Head outdoors for year-round fun with your Sims! New seasonal activities await your Sims including snowball fights, chasing fireflies, jumping in leaf piles, and more. Strengthen family ties in Winter, let romance bloom in Spring, deepen the bonds of friendship in Summer, or fast-track your career in Fall.

Everyone has their own way of making clothes so try looking for tutorials around the sims community and all I can say is don't give it.

We've made several changes to the career game. First, as your Sims progress though their career tracks, they will have access to different clothes to show off their career levels. In addition, if they make it to the top, not only will they have "styling new threads," but they'll also unlock a special career object. Your Sims will also now have weekends with some time off from work to spend a little more time at home with their family and friends.

How do you make Sims/objects fade away? (Return to top) Making sims and objects in the game fade away is really pretty easy to do in camera man mode. First, you're going to want to use a saved camera angle. Do by hitting CONTROL and 4-9 at the same time to save your cameras position. Then, when you are ready to return to that angle, jus hit the number key that is associated with the angle you saved. First thing to do is decide on who/what you want to fade away.

We are working on a variety of objects that are appropriate for Sims of different ages. For example toddlers will have special toys, including xylophone, teddy bear and building blocks.

No, the game is completly new, it's not an expansion pack. Clothes or furniture of Sims 1 can't be used in Sims 2.

Some video cards may not support a higher resolution for The Sims 2 Seasons, however there are steps you can follow to allow for a higher resolution in the game. Note: The steps below will alter the original game files for The Sims 2 Seasons. If you should encounter an error after altering this file you will need to revert to the backup version of the file, or uninstall and reinstall the game.

Well, never say never, right? I don't see myself getting very involved in creating for TS2, but you never know ^_^

No you don't. This is one of the more wrong rumours out there. The two games are independant of eachother. Firstly, the current tool that we are working on creating for actually modifying the formats of the game, Datgen, was primary designed for Simcity4, and so a lot of work also goes into making it compatible with SC4's formats in addition to TS2s. So you will be able to use it for both games, as well as The Sims Online, and any future Maxis games using the DBPF archive format.

Right now, The Sims 2 Mobile can only be purchased through selected carriers. Please check with your cell-phone provider to see whether or not The Sims 2 Mobile is available. Absolutely not. All versions of The Sims 2 Mobile are meant to stand on their own.

To check your game options. Start up your game and go to a neighborhood screen. From the options wheel in the lower left corner, select the (...) icon, then the gears icon and make sure you check "On" in the Catalogs Display Custom Content area. Once you've done this restart your game and all of the things that you've installed should appear in the catalogs in the game.

Stagecast sims cannot be played stand-alone. Users can either play the sims online using the free Stagecast Web Player or on their computer using the Stagecast Creator or Player application. If you have a web site, you can post your sims on the site with the help of the publish feature in Stagecast Creator. When users go to your sim's web page, they can use the free Stagecast Web Player to play your sim.

Unfortunately The Sims has lots of potential problems concerning custom content, some are caused by end-user error, some are caused by careless creators, some are caused by plain old bad luck. My advice - if possible, try and install ALL the expansion packs (doesn't matter whether you use the Deluxe versions versus the individual EP's and the original Sims) - this will ensure wide support for custom objects as well as the greatest possible game stability.

If by "include" you mean putting my objects on a shopping list, you're absolutely welcome to (I'd be flattered, really!). If you want to offer them on your site for download along with the house, please give me a shout at the address above first.

To get rid of plumbbobs, create an extra character for your movie set and keep them off screen. Whenever you're ready to shoot, set up the interactions you want with your Sims and right before shooting, click on the extra character to get rid of the plumbob. If you have the Nightlife Expansion Pack, you can get rid of thought and speech bubbles by pressing Ctrl+shift+c to open the cheat box, and entering showheadlines off.

Keep the camera position low. It helps create a feeling of intimacy in your films to have more up-close shots anyway. There is an object you can download from Mod the Sims 2 that allows you to have ceilings. From above, it's invisible but from ground level will give you a ceiling.

Yes, absolutely. We've already been working on a special stand-alone Sim creator tool for players to make their own content before the game ships. The free, downloadable tool will be released on our website in December.

Q:I don't need an answer ASAP but, I need an answer how do I get someone to fall in love with?? Everytime I try they just become best friends. I also do know you can have babies but, I don't know how.

A:With The Sims 2 Mobile Connected Edition, you'll be able to choose your player Sim from among tens of thousands of Sims available on the Sims Exchange. You can do this from the Download-a-Sim options within the game itself, or by browsing the Sims exchange on the Sims 2 website and selecting a compatible Sim to add as your "On-Deck Sim".

A:Well, if you're already a registered player of the PC version of The Sims 2, just log in to http://www.thesims2.ea.com/ and you're already half-way there! However, If you don't have an account for the Sims 2 website, you will to create one. Fortunately, it's very easy - here's what you do:

Yes, you can. Having our objects Hot Date buyable only means that we have changed the object flags. This means that the categories that the objects can be found in are altered. They are the same in any other Sims game, but in Hot Date, they can now be bought in the downtown area. If our objects are cloned from Hot Date objects (ex: The Denim Set loveseat is cloned from Hot Date loveseat), then non-Hot Date users cannot use it because it is only a Hot Date object.

If you use Stagecast Creator to make your own sims using original content, then you would own the sims created (and the copyright). You may even sell your own sims made with Stagecast, without royalties.

Yes, you can download as many as youÂ'd like at once, but you can only download at a specific total speed, so downloading two videos at once means it will take twice as long to get both of them, not that you will get two videos in the same amount of time.

The Windows 2000 Resource Kit ships with the MOVETREE.EXE utility which can be used to move organization units, users or computers between domains in a single forest. This is useful for the consolidation of domains or to reflect organization restructuring.
