The closest anyone came to doing it is KatyPC who had a bunch of legal stuff but it is hopelessly outdated-it throws errors. If someone took that set and updated it that'd be awesome.

Right now all the player can do is imitate the process.


Hmmm... maybe kind of Katy_76 prison stuff (I have all PC cc) combined/mixed with Simlogical Prison cc? If it can be updated why not mix/combine it with Simlogical's prison cc.

NPC functions are new to me, so adapting them will have to wait for months, I'm afraid.

I'm eying spawning a maid instead of a waiter for SuperComm Buffets. For gardening, honestly, I prefer Sims 1 way how nothing breaks down nor has to be seriously gardened on community lots, and that includes hotels... I mean, SimWardrobe made a mod that allows hotel bellhop to double-duty as a repairman, but he shouldn't have to in the first place! The same goes for when those shrubs, bushes and flower plots need to be tended on a hotel, and if there's a lot of them, the maid will be kept unreasonably busy!

Might be good to ask Nopke to include variants that disable shrubs and flowers from needing to be tended on community lots and hotels.

It was easily my favorite way to earn logic points in the 1st game, and comparatively, TS2 was kind of a let down there.


The potions and their effects were fun too.

What did the legal stuff do?

What did the legal stuff do?


There were chairs (pretty comfortable) and among other things, a 'legal typewriter' that improved your creativity, a judge's podium that pronounced sentence and lawyer's podiums that allowed a defense attorney to 'defend' their client, a book case that taught you logic/law.

that's all I can remember.
I just redownloaded that set, and this is the text that goes with it:
"The set contains:
1) various items for the courtroom
2) The table of the lawyer. If a business is open, then of the visitors who have arrived, you can assign any sim to the role of a lawyer. The selected lawyer will provide various legal advice. What does the business do with this profit?
4) Place of a witness (special cabinet)"

This is where the set is-on Box-her entire work is in this, so you want to get the 'lawyer set' not the "Law set: https://app.box.com/s/p0kh2uwsv4mywcgcv1m7f5kr3ewfpjth

Although I'd get (and did) download the whole caboodle. It's hard to find some of the older stuff now, even if it needs to be updated.

Sims Graveyard can be pretty helpful. Back to LEGAL (Katy_76 cc stuff) set - can it be updated, edited a bit? Katy_76 whole cc stuff - and I mean everything done by Katy_76 - is epic.

Maybe it wasn't updated for later expansions and that's why it throws errors.

I do believe that is the case-I think she only had up to a certain EP (don't know which one) and then she retired.

So if someone wants to update the set, I'm sure she won't care.

The original dates on the files are about 2006, 2007, if that means anything.

Not sure if it has been mentioned (I haven't read this thread) but I would love more board games. Especially sim versions of modern games like Catan, Pandemic, Wingspan etc.
I was playing the Romm-Cadler family, and they have a special relationship with mahjong. They bought the table back from their first vacation and now play the game all the time with their daughter, host game nights with friends, and teach it to everyone who visits. Her daughter has taught it to her own friends. It's such a nice little detail about them, and I have so much fun watching their little obsession. Would be so fun to have something similar for other families but to have a variety to pick from. Like, ocean themed game for Barthalets, something craft related for Alice McCallister, a quick racing game for the Warren children and so on.

I think other board games exist... they're most likely recolors of table top games that exist in TS2, since that'd be the easiest way to go about it. Might not look exactly right with the animations, but creating new anims is a lot harder. I wish I could remember where I've seen them, but unfortunately I am at a loss. Maybe a WCIF post would be helpful. It wasn't Crisps&Kerosene who has some board games was it? AtS, perhaps? ...but those might just be deco.

If i come across it again, I'll let you know.

Playable games here: https://aroundthesims2.com/objects/...dvent_2015.html (based on the Mahjong table)

D&D decor (can be paired with an invisible game table, I think the ATS versions come with the necessary parts?)
https://crispsandkerosene.tumblr.co...ristmas-in-july

There have been various other deco games too, which can also be paired with invisible game tiles/board.

And in case it comes in handy - bingo default (myshuno)

ATS just released a bunch of playable/deco games for TS3 and TS4. Too bad they no longer update for TS2...

Google is a bit of a loose cannon. Sometimes you get close to what you need, other times it misses the target by 180 degrees.
"Sims 2 playable games" - Let's list all the TS2 EPs and SPs!
"Sims 2 playable board games cc" - Here are playable board games for TS4!

In theory should be able to add -"sims 4" to your google query and it should exclude Sims 4 content. However, I've noticed it doesn't always work anymore, for some reason.

If you do -sims 4, Google seems to think it's "-sims".
"-TS4" (and -TS3) kinda works, but you still get some results for TS4 (and TS3), probably because everyone use different variations of these, especially in tags. Sometimes it just depends what you're searching for, and which search words work for the items you're after.

If you think the item can be found a spesific place, or want to limit searches to there, adding the site to the search can also be helpful, for instance "site:tumblr.com"

Speaking of, "Sims 2 board game site:tumblr.com" gave me these:
https://mustluvcatz-reloaded.tumblr...-nautical-stuff
https://jacky93sims.tumblr.com/post...-for-the-sims-2
(Both deco, but again, can be paired with an invisible gaming board).

Yes, that's why you put quotes around "sims 4", like I put in my post.

Ah! i had a hunch it was AtS, as i posted originally! Hooray! My memory still... uh... It's a... uh, what were we talking about?

Quote:

I thought it was -(sims 4) that you had to put...
Regardless, it doesn't ever work for me. Typically my search results go like this:

search: Sims 2 downloads
•result: 5 random pics from TS2, 400 TS4 sites and 30 TS3 sites, then a bunch of completely unrelated garbage

search: Sims 2 downloads -4
•result: 3 sims 2 results, 500 TS4 results, 35 TS3 results, 20 unrelated garbage results

search: Sims 2 downloads -4, -3
•result: 3 Sims 2 results 350 TS4 results, 50 TS3 results, MORE unrelated garbage

search: Sims 2 downloads -(sims 4) -(sims 3)
•result: 3 Sims 2 results, 350 TS4 results 100 TS3 results, EVEN MORE unrelated garbage

search: "Sims 2 downloads" -(sims 4) -(sims 3)
•result: 3 sims 2 results, 400 TS4 results 200 TS3 results, KPop bands and more unrelated garbage

search: +("sims 2 downloads") -(sims 4) -(sims 3)
•result: 3 Sims 2 results, 400 TS4 results 200 TS3 results, KPop bands, a handful of diagrams, and still more unrelated garbage

search: NO!! +("sims 2 downloads") -(sims 4) -(sims 3) DAMMIT!!
•result: 3 Sims 2 results, 400 TS4 results, 200 TS3 results, KPop bands, diagrams, some kind of science projects, and still more unrelated garbage

search: I SAID ONLY +("sims 2 downloads") NO EFFING -(sims 4) NO EFFING -(sims 3)
•result: Porn

then, i'm too distracted to remember what i was searching for in the first place...
