upon the release of the sims, the official website used to offer a standalone program called “mini aquarium”, modeled after the one in the base game. it included in game sound effects such as a female sim giggling when you click “watch”, or if you were unlucky enough to snuff out your poor fish, the default toilet flush sound, among a few others. it’s still available for download here if you want to try it yourself!

Hello. :) Is there someone who knows where I could find these cars by VPN’s Garage? I came across this page while looking for old cars for my Decade Challenge but the links are not working anymore since the page of VPN is long gone and wayback machine also didn’t help. :( (also tagging @sims2packrat just in case) Also I’m looking for other vehicles from the time around 1910- 1920 (no matter if decorative or drivable).

I have these cars available. You can download them here.

This is a hard post to make. I’m writing this through tears. I can’t even figure out what to say here. All info is in the link.

Please help if you can, but please do not feel obligated if you can’t.

Are these outfits somewhere to be found? I searched on @sims2packrat and the SFS-files there but I had no luck. :(

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find them either :-( does someone have this download and could re-upload for frauhupfner? :-)

I have them here.

fun fact! the sims 2 for console was actually the scraps of a cancelled sequel to the urbz: sims in the city. the urbz 2 was cancelled in december of 2004 due to only meeting half the sales required of a sequel (2.4mil out of 5mil). instead of scrapping what they already had, devs took several planned features and premade assets for urbz 2, including direct control of your sim, layered clothing in CAS, and multiple locations (like jugen house and the HMS amore), and used them instead for the sims 2 console. multiple objects and NPCs were also brought over from urbz 2. 

since they were pressed for time to catch up for a console release following the PC release of the sims 1, assets also from the original urbz game were ripped and recycled. one of the more obvious examples is seen above, in CAS, where sims and urbz both use the exact same animations. 

pour one out for the urbz sequel we deserved
