Hi!

I've been playing a new neighbourhood and I was wondering if anyone knows of a bigger welcome wagon hack for TS2?

I found one for TS3, and there are some out there to cancel the welcome wagon, but I like it and want MORE sims to show up and welcome my sims to the neighbourhood.

Any help is appreciated!

I've not seen one, but if you don't mind a (somewhat clumsy) workaround, you could use Inge's teleporter to bring in some random Sims: http://www.simlogical.com/sl/Sims2P...Teleporters.htm

I recall seeing a line in some BCON that might be able to increase the welcome wagon; though it might also increase ghosts on lots that have a lot of graves. I do not remember which one; I would search for it tonight.


another possible way around this would be through the testingcheatsenabled cheat. shift click on the mailbox; somewhere in that menu (or possibly in a sub menu) would be an interaction to force a walk-by. do that as many times you want. may take awhile for the first to come.

LOL everyone seem to play their game different I have a mod by Twojeff's that will popup and ask me if I want the Welcome Wagon. Yes / No
Sometime I say NO because the Sims can be rude and run into the Sims house and don't know when to leave, or start playing their piano or other games.

I downloaded a similar mod.
I do not remember where.

Is it twojeff's welcome wagon mod? I use it myself.

Thanks for all the responses and the ideas. I have the teleporter cat so I suppose I can use that for now. It might be better anyway cos then large families can have the normal number and small ones can have more visitors.

Hah - I always say no. Ah well.

I would not mind a bigger WW as well.

I don't say no, my sims just don't answer the door. It's funny when there is no fence, they'll walk all around the house and stand outside windows and back to the doors until they finally give up. I would just block the welcome wagon, but occasionally I'm waiting for that certain sim to show up for my sim to meet, which rarely happens. If that certain sim does show up, I'll send the other certain sim I want to to meet that certain sim while ignoring any others that are milling around and trying to find a way to grab the resident certain sim's attention. Other times I get a kick out of watching the visitors while the residents are busy doing their thing. (:

found the BCON I mentioned in post 3.
name:: Max Person Counts
group:: 7f028f29
instance:: 1001

third line in BCON (line numbered 02).

Do you think this would mean that 2 different families come to welcome your sim? Because I noticed, it seems to be per household...not per sim. If Mary comes up to welcome you to the 'Hood, she might come with her husband. So sometimes, depending on the 'Hood I am playing (only single sims or several sims per household) I'll get different amount of welcomers.

meant the line's "number" not the line's value; edited the post.
02 is third line; 01 would be second line; 00 would be first line.

oh..ok, my bad.

@maxon Like minds think the same lol the Sims will still meet the welcome wagon Sims through passing or at a community lot, and on the computer.
Because my Sims do not know them that well for them to run into their house, I even had a Sim sat herself down at the table and started eating the food. lol

Thankyou very much for tracking that down for me... but I actually have no idea what to do with that information? Could you link me to a tutorial or something if its not too much trouble?

I do not know of any tutorial for this.
