Moghughson created a mod a long time ago that prevents Sims from changing into outerwear when going outside. It can be found here.

Thanks for that

I've been on a hair downloading spree lately and come to the realization that I absolute hate the clay-style hair. My sims like a little shine and bounce with their hairstyles.

I agree, except for dreads. Clay hair works really well for dreads.

So after trying many, many, many, many times....

I cannot get into Veronaville. It's my least favorite premade hood.

I'm like that with all the premades. I was really trying to be into playing Strangetown, but really I just like the idea of it. Making it possible to create a world that can be anything you want is so magical and I really appreciate all the tools sims 2 gives us.

@Nouh Oh no, what is the problem? Just that hood? Is it all versions of Veronaville or just one you were playing? Start a thread in the Sims 2 Game Help forum if you need assistance.

Hmm. I kind of read Nouh's post more along the lines of "I can't get into it.", as in just not a fan of the hood (Doesn't like it.). I could be wrong though!

My unpopular opinion:
Once you get your head around the way SimAntics works, it's a joy to work with and offers a lot of room for creativity, allowing heavy modding of the game, yet keeping it simple. It's fun! I only started getting into it because I have to manually edit / review every single mod I install, I then wanted to expand how ijprison system works, that lead me to heavily editing that mod. I then took that knowledge to start making my own more extensive mods (New mods, not based on others.)

Oh!
Silly simsample!

I guess that your opinion of what it meant was the unpopular one. :P

Alright I think I've got a new one... I don't get Lucy x Alexander like, at all, it's a very "pair the spares" kind of ship. At least with Buck and Jill in Strangetown, they already know each other, for one, and two, there's some interesting stuff you could do with Jill being a half-alien and Buck's dad hating aliens (shoutouts to SHWC!). No such thing with Alex and Lucy.

Not to mention the biggest point against them. Her name doesn't end with an "a"

Sounds like a point in favor of those who set him up with Allegra Gorey when sending him to college! Or pairing him with Angela when he becomes a teen.

And if you do uberhoods, there's Desdemona Capp... though admittedly, I always pair her with Bottom Summerdream. In my game, since one of the TS3 spinoffs has Alexander married to a Cecilia Goth, I just injected Cecilia as a third child of Antonio and Hero Monty and had Alex get with her.

I was about to agree with this until I just noticed (because I don't play with the premade uni hoods much) that Allegra kinda resembles Cassandra , but it wouldn't surprise me if Alex had some unresolved mommy issues

Except Cassandra is his sister lol.

I ike Lucy with Dirk Dreamer, personally. Alex is one of my faves. I've gotten him into all kinds of stories. I don't like to put him in a box.

Buck and Jill are that couple that are so sweet and perfect together, they make you sick in my Strangetown. They have four (!) kids and Buck got alien abducted to boot. Buck is very nonconfrontational, though. His low-key rebellion against his father is taking the Smith last name and never bringing his family to Grunt family functions.

They implication was that since Bella disappeared so early in his life, Cassandra ended up in that mental role. "Sister Issues" just didn't sound right lol, but i like to call it "Little Brother's Burden"
