*ahem, looks around furtively* I'm telling you this because you mentioned how nice people are here. I agree. A lot of the mods at MATY are great, but ask your questions here, not there. They can be a bit...caustic when they consider someone to be less accomplished than they. Any little infraction, not knowing how to do something, or placing a comma in the wrong place, can get you eviscerated there. Here is safe, there, no. *looks around again and whispers* :you did not hear this from me".

Welcome! Since nobody suggested the hoodchecker, here it is: http://modthesims.info/download.php?t=456523
It's a major lifesaver and you should check your neighbourhood after each playing session to make sure your hood is not corrupted.
MATY.. oh god.. don't ever comment on a post or make a thread or you will probably be made fun of for bad grammar or being a 'noob'

Lol yes, MATY is a place you sneak in and grab what you want and then flee, as fast as you can.

Chance cards are just that a game of chance. Your sim can be fired, demoted, promoted or given a heap of cash. Plus the outcome is not always the same for the same card. Some cards change which answer is correct. The amount of times I picked the wrong level one education career track card.

I may be a wuss, but I'm still alive. I'm not certain everyone who visits MATY survives.

Can I borrow the gun Jo? Maxon is a little too close to me right now.

Welcome from me to you. Sad to hear you were fired (on your first day of work I presume?) that happened to me too, I should have picked the other option
(I love those scenario chance cards)

Sure, I think we can both get behind and I'll let my old mafia sim there handle things.

He is a very spry elder.

Since I'm a first timer and I have a few questions I thought I should post here instead of making a thread of mine. I hope you don't mind.
I'm gonna go with what joandsarah77 suggested but do I need to start over for those mods to work correctly? About the "No Corrupt death" mod: I've already had a casualty (lol I didn't want to! He was my first sim and got sick! xq ) and I didn't have that mod installed. Will I need to delete the neighborhood?

Now, what I'm gonna say next will seem random but it's not so do keep reading.
I created two sims and got them live in the house next of my first one (who's now dead) to see if I could make them meet while playing only with one (I read online that it couldn't happen by the way @_@ ). It worked! The neighbor passed by the house but I couldn't greet her because my sim was too busy coughing and going to the toilet all the time. Here's though something odd: Later that day, when the Ripper came, his icon appeared on the top left of the screen and, when I got my mouse over it to see what was that about, I'm pretty certain it showed my neighbor's name (I was in a hurry and I closed it quickly -_- ) . So I have two questions:
1.Has that ever happened to anyone, the icon showing that the wrong sim has expired? (who knows though, I could be wrong. I was in a hurry because the sim's life was turning into hell and I was trying to work things out lol)
2.Will the fixes stop sims in the same town, created by me, from meeting like it happened in my example? I hope not. :/

Last question! Do the sims in the family bin move in by themselves after awhile? I think that's what I read somewhere.

Sorry for the long post and thanks in advance!

You should have open your own thread for you do sound like your having game problems.
As for the Grim showing the name of another sims other than Grim this sounds like game corruption but need more info to figure out.

No they will not move in they will stay there forever if you don't move them in.

As for meeting sims it depends on your hood setup.
1. Are you using empty templates or ?
2. As long as you move your sims into a house they have a chance of having your other sims walk by (as long as you have move said sim into a house) along with townies. (Unless you use empty templates for no townies.)

Thanks for the reply!
I just worry that it was something else and I just misread by being hasty (I was a bit lost at that time :x), that's why I asked that here first. Maybe I should make a sim and kill him just to see what the icon will say.
My hoods are corrupted (I just checked with HoodChecker) but I've read that this goes for everyone, that the default hoods are corrupted to begin with and the safe way is to use empty templates. Since I'm new to it though I thought I better play in the defaults for awhile.

No, I'm using the default ones.
Great! Thanks for the good news!

Do I need to start over for the fixes to work properly?

Edit: I forgot about the info, should I upload what the HoodChecker found out? I also check hoods that I haven't used though and even then I got some corrupted findings. @_@

Its not necessary corruption but it is things if left alone that can cause corruption.

If you are still playing the shipped hoods then keep on playing them until you are ready to move on to hoods you want to try and keep going for a very long time.
But go ahead and get the mods for they can help you for a longer play time and go here and get all the Essential Mods for they will also help. http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=532696

Thanks! Right now I want to play as close to vanilla as possible (although I have already installed a few outfits Couldn't help myself. I'm also gonna try my hand at recoloring.) so I'll only install a few of them and when I feel ready I'll go for the rest. :D

Wow, you are brave. I only recently decided I wanted to try recolors and I bought the base game the day it came out. Since I now have UC, I would have to do something to create a path to body shop, and so far I haven't been up to it.

Not brave at all! xD It's just that I want to make a story I have in mind and I'd like the sims to look the way I want to. :q That being said, I haven't started yet so, for now, it's just a thought.

Edit: About me thinking the Ripper icon showing wrong name: It wasn't, when I moved my mouse over the icon it was also over the neighbor's house and the name bubble of the house appeared right next the icon's bubble. :B

Am I dumb as a brick or blind as a bat? It's one or the other (20% chance it's both)!

I've searched my The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection for a "Download" or "Mods" folder (whatever the heck it's called) but can't find it! Do I have to make a new folder and call it "Mods" (like I had to in Sims3) or what?

EDIT: I am running Windows XP Pro on my machine.

In My Doc folder you will see EA Games and inside this in the Ultimate Collection folder inside this you need to make a folder called Downloads and place all mods (99%) in it.
