The one where you choose the amount of time spent jogging sounds like this mod by Smonaff.

That's a bit of a strange mod. Jogging is a FT interaction, and it offers BG-compatible version. Sounds like they took the stuff from FT and extracted it to make it available to lower games, creating a custom version of jogging. That's probably why it's not filling jogging wants.

That's all good in real life, the house we just bought has a nice sized master bath and walk in closet but for my sims they just need a dresser Also I don't like huge bedroom sized bathrooms because I just think its wasting space. I could easily turn it into a small bedroom/office bedroom or cut it in half and make two bathrooms out of it depending on its location (a master bath and a bathroom for guests or etc)

I'm not saying I give all my sims tiny 2X3 bathrooms but definitely not big enough for it to be a bedroom.

I like the bathrooms to be big enough so that the Sims can use them with ease. Not emormous, but I like to be able to put the toddler potties ( and they may be twins) in the bathroom. Seems more logical to me

Especially if its a 'master' bath where I have both sims in there at once. My biggest pet peeve is when sims can't just go around each other in small tight places

I spent the majority of today at Olive's house, cleaning up her mess. I did get to the Curious brothers and they have the option to jog for 1-2-3 or 4 hours. Only one of them had read Physiology, so that's not where it comes from. It doesn't seem like a mod I would get considering jogging was already there. Of the two I sent jogging for one hour, their hobbies were Science and Nature so it's not hobby related. I forgot to check Pascal for it. I do remember some sims jogging, not together, and one caught poison ivy, one got chased by bees and another was followed home by the skunk. It's all a mystery to me now.

Yes! Step over the freaking toddler. XD

I can understand not wanting to stomp on the toddler, but when they are trapped in their house because the newspaper deliverer put a magazine in front the door just kills me. It's not so bad unless it's on an apartment lot where I can't pick up the magazine unless I teleport the sim out of the house.

as to the jog mod, it is very apparent to me, it is a mod of some kind. You may not have intended to download such a thing; it may have been a little present tucked inside another download, but it is most certainly a mod. The fact that no one has ever noticed it before confirms it.

Today I discovered that having a well decorated garden can be absolutely devastating. One lightning strike and suddenly the bubble pool, the fence, two trees and two sims are on fire whoops

That when a sim teaches that wooden toy brick "roll over", there's a progress gauge over the brick? And I'm disproportionately amused by it.

There's no point in having a garden unless you are going to do it yourself. Gardeners are not very reliable.

Stuff I'd never seen before. Apparently I don't play houses with lots of children enough.

Big brother sitting down to play with the toddler rabbit with his little sister (nope, actually his cousin. Too many children to keep track of lol). Then Uncle also got down to play too (and got his ass booted because noone could use the bathroom). Same big brother rolling a want to play peekaboo (this time it is his sister). Never seen a child roll that one before. Child autonomously washing his face at the sink.

A landlord was being nasty to a tenant in my Sim's apartment building -- not unusual for Sim landlords! -- but then she apologized to him. That surprised me because I haven't seen an autonomous apology before!

Today I discovered that a toddler can steal the baby bottle to another toddler! I was so surprised: after so many years of playing there are always new things to find out.

Apparently I do have that jogging mod. How I got is a mystery as the post doesn't look a bit familiar, or even the info posted in it, but it is thanked. I don't have a skill building one, just the regular.

Mystery solved!
I checked again today about jogging and I had just the regular option.

Bottle stealing gets so annoying in my game. I have a set of twins, both are hungry. So I feed Twin A, and go to get Twin B's bottle, and oh look, now Twin A is still starving because Twin B stole her bottle. Although I finally figured a solution to that, so there is no more annoying bottle stealing in my game. Stick at least one of the toddlers in a high chair, and everyone gets their own bottle and a full hunger bar.

Wait, wait. This should be a case for our twins expert, Justpetro. Perhaps she will weigh in and tell us whether this behavior is annoying or just adorable. Something like 98% of her families have unforced twins.

So, we all roll our eyes at some of the stupidity in game, right? Look at this way, we can laugh about it later and post comments that make other people hit the funny and love buttons, it's all good. (: So here's my eye rolling moments from yesterday.

I spent almost a day cleaning up the Specter graves and making sure they spawned so they'd be ready to 'entertain' all those nice, knowledge sims who will come visit them at the cemetery. Well, a few things didn't go so well, as in, Ophelia died. Not once, not twice, but three times and I gave up on exiting without saving after the third time. Later that day there's a pop-up notice "Ophelia lost a grade by missing school today". Right after that another pop-up "Hmm, Olive, word around the streets is that you're not doing too great in the community. There have been some unpleasant rumors spreading about you. You should keep a lookout for yourself". You know how Olive is, stubborn, that's how. She's not going to listen to a Maxis message. A few minutes later, she dies and Grimmy is no where to be found. Her icon is gone, she's still on her feet, dead as a doornail and the game isn't going anywhere. I had to exit again and grabbed the first townie walking by, sat him in front of a tv where he gained a few needed skill points for his job. She dies again where Grimmy makes an appearance, the townie sits around waiting for her ghost, but also goes to work and returns with a promotion. Her ghost spawned pretty quick, he sends her off to the cemetery and goes back to his secret lot home. The end. (:

If you give your sim a couch and no form of entertainment, they have no problem sitting down and staring at the wall for hours on end.

Also sims have no common sense. My kid sim jumped into the pool during the winter since it had a diving board, but started to complain that there was no ladder to climb out and I didn't even make this house!

I personally LOVE a big bedroom/bathroom the possibilities for me and my CC are endless! XD


Just Monday I had taken a LARGE master bedroom split it evenly leaving one wall section OFF in the middle to create a "door" and then in the space beyond it made a walk-in nursery compete with a walk in/toddle in/crawl in playroom/toddler bathroom XD


I then extended the left (my left) side of both areas creating room to make the nursery one for twins or EMma and a sleepover guest as well as an office/reading nook for mom and dad added bonus when I move the house around to work on landscaping my previous work had made a neat "overhanging" feature which made a "Shaded" area for a playground for my sims! XD PLUS it looks NEAT!

Wait, your sims swim in winter? I think I have a mod that makes mine somewhat sensible. They refuse to climb in the pool if its wintertime. They route all the way over to the ladder or diving board, then give me a "that's crazy" signal (they put their hands up next to their heads and rotate it around in the universal crazy signal) Then they go back inside for a minute and repeat the action, cause apparently they really want to swim. But can't because its winter. And that'd be crazy. I think I can force them in the pool if I direct them, but autonomous pool usage in the winter goes exactly as described above. ~VP

I didn't realize that sims could get heatstroke. Or that teenage sims could get heatstroke. Or that heatstroke doesn't appear to heal when you go indoors. Or that it causes you to pass out, while your needs drop. Or that it can indirectly cause my sim family's teenage son to die of starvation.

Yup, they can get heatstroke in the summer, as well as sunburned. Then in the winter they can 'freeze' if they stay outside to long. These are the little things, while might be a bit irritatin at time, that make Sims 2 fun.
