TS2 CC links
Links to the stuff I use in my game. Working on a refresh of my downloads folder after taking a break for a while.
Hacks/Mods >
Pescado's stuff/MATY: a lot of stuff. some for anti-corruption purposes, some quality of life improvements. (links, descriptions). for example:
- antiredundancy: stops tons of unecessary NPCs from spawning
- lot debugger ("batbox"): lots of useful debugging options. (see also: a helpful guide, and batbox as a vase)
- no corrupted death memory: does what it says.
- no unlink on urnstone delete: stops sim character file destruction if an urn or tombstone is destroyed.
- greater LTW variety & sanity: a lot of lifetime want fixes
- community lot skilling: allows sims to gain skill points while on community lots. yay!
- phone hack: a number of fixes included, but I like this mainly for maintaining friendships (ie: friends will call to talk instead of just calling to let you know your relationship is decaying)
Cyjon's Sims 2 Mods: a lot of essential fixes here too. a few:
- Ghost Hack: a number of fixes, including a fix that stops ghosts from destroying tombstones (critical!)
- No Auto Urn Cleanup: also critical.
- No Auto Talk Through stuffed animals: annoying!
Sim Blender: (choose the most recent EP you have and look for the Sim Blender link within that folder.) very useful sim management tool. use to change appearance of townies, check and change gender preferences, etc.
BoilingOil's No Sim Loaded clears gossip and unused tokens. new: I've been using this updated version by Midge the Tree.

still working on my default replacements for these...
