okay, dumb question, but I haven’t played sims 2 in ages and I’m only starting to get back into it… but how can your sims 2 sims roll traits?? I thought traits were something that was introduced in sims 3? did I miss something?

Hi there! You’re right, traits aren’t actually rolled in-game. I just assign them manually. 🙂 I have a list of TS3 traits numbered 1-83 and I use an online number randomizer to select one when it’s time to “roll” one. 🙂 

Not all the traits translate well to TS2, and sometimes I roll traits that I never use. But I find that it helps me make unique, well-rounded Sims. Even having two or three “playable” traits can help develop your Sim’s personality. For example, Sheila’s five traits are Animal Lover, Bookworm, Eccentric, Eco-Friendly, and Supernatural Fan. So far I’ve primarily focused on Animal Lover (she adopted Sam the cat) and Supernatural Fan (she became a witch after falling in love with an evil warlock while she was in college, although I hardly ever do anything witchy with her :|). But it definitely helps add personality! 🙂

hey, wcif ilaria’s dress? the mint coloured one with a collar and little flower print? it seems right up my alley! ; ) she looks absolutely adorable, btw. how do people make so cute sims?! thanks in advance! : )

Hi hi friend! Sorry to have kept you waiting so long – I’m sure you found this without me at this point. :3

The dress is by Skell and you can find it HERE. It’s one of my new favorite pieces of cc, mostly because it would fit right into my own closet, shoes and all! :3 

As for Sim-making, it’s not one of my favorite things to do. I have to really be in the mood to play around in Bodyshop, or I need a sudden burst of inspiration. (I prefer to be in-game playing or decorating!) So when I need to make new Sims for something (townies, dormies, etc.), I usually just randomize them in Bodyshop and tweak a few features. Since I tend to use similar features in a lot of my Sims (call it a “style”, if you will), I also recommend using THIS TUTORIAL to better randomize your Sims, and give them more unique features you wouldn’t have necessarily picked yourself!

Have fun! 😀

Hi! For some reason, my game never starts unless I clear my caches first. I have to delete them everytime I launch the game. If I don’t, nothing happens when I click on my game’s icon to launch it. I don’t necessarily mind having to clear them each time (ugh regenerating thumbnails though) but do you have any idea why this might be happening?

Hey! Sorry for the long wait for a response. D: I have to clear my caches every time too, so you’re not the only one. I did read somewhere once that if you open the cache file, delete whatever is in it, then set it as “read-only” you won’t have to delete it every time? I’ve never tried it myself, though!

EDIT: DeeDee confirmed that setting the cache file as “read-only” does work! Thank you, @deedee-sims! ❤
