Stats are provided for those interested in how they are in my game – feel free to change anything and everything to your heart’s desire! Change their names, personalities, sexual preferences, hair, clothes, genetics, whatever. I’d just appreciate a tag or a link so I can see what shenanigans they’re up to in your game. 😀

hey, what would you say is the best way of getting into your sycamore cove gameplay? i tried adding /chrono the end of the tag, but i’m worried i’m missing character introductions or something?? i hope this makes sense! anyway love your blog, and you seem like the biggest sweetheart

Awww, thank you so much! ❤ It means a lot to me that you want to get into Sycamore Cove from the very beginning. 😀 Unfortunately, it’s never been the most structured of neighborhoods (especially in the beginning), a decision I regret. In retrospect, I wish I made it more of a BaCC, with actual rules and better record-keeping. :3

I don’t have any character introductions posted, although it’s something I’ve been meaning to do! (At this rate, it’ll be a miracle if they’re done before the founders age up and die. :P) The neighborhood kind of just… starts. XD Honestly, using /chrono after the tag is the best way to do it, but I’m warning you ahead of time that the beginning is poorly documented. X) 

I basically just threw Sheila into the university I built for my last hood and never used, and made her a witch because I never play them, and then promptly neglected her witchiness as soon as the neighborhood gets underway. 😀 That should bring you more or less up to speed! 

ohhhhhhh looking through the Sheila tag reminds me that I was only tagging the early rounds as “windham university” and not including the “sycamore cove” tag D’OH. stay tuned, will fix~!

To make a backup of a neighborhood, which files do you need to save? Just the ones in Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 or also those in Program Files? Thanks for your help!

Hello! This ask has been here for a really long time (I’m sorry!), and you most likely figured it out by now. But just in case, you only need to save the Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 folder to backup the neighborhood (or Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection, in my case). The Program Files folder shouldn’t ever really be touched and contains the core game files. All your user files/neighborhood-specific files will be in the Documents folder. 🙂

Feel free to send another message if you have any other questions!
