Things you've only recently discovered about the game

[mybeautifulparanoiax]

That your sims can toast, caress hands, and blow kisses while sitting at a table together.
They can also throw food, a drink, or steal a bite from someone.

Apparently, sloppy sims can lick their plates clean?

[Katie]

Has anyone else come across this?

Only seen that option through the reaction tester. Not while playing 

When a sim has a miscarriage I've seen that happen in game...

I recently noticed that children tend to fall off monkey bars at least ten times before doing them right whne you play without cheating 

[mybeautifulparanoiax]

I never actually went 'downtown' unless my sims went by taxi.
So I recently discovered that you can play and live there.

If you use Boolprop to get a sim a the platinum aspiration level and kill them with old age they'll get a special tombstone with a picture of their aspiration on it

Now you're making me want to kill Donny boy at platinum level, you know this, don't you??

[MaryH]

Now, Paden, control yourself! Let poor Don die a natural death-like by woohoo! 

[soulofthesea]

Death by woohoo, MaryH? Now that's a good idea!

[Paden]

But I don't wanna let him have a nice death!! *whines*

[Hammie]

If your Sim wishes for the power to cheat death from the Freetime Genie, they can beg Grim for their lives. Which is good, because my most favourite Sim had a non-cheat satellite death last night, and she was able to save herself. (Her parents hate her. )

Sorry pal, I beat ya to it. Brought him back to life though, Nina is too good to be forced to raise twins by herself

[Paden]

Pal? Pal? Last I knew, Pal was a term used for a male, and friend, I was born with, and use, my lady bits. You may want to keep that in mind from now on or it's the cat box for you.

[Aquarius]

lmao ok sorry 

[DaSpecial1]

That sims can do a cannonball into the pool from the side. I though they had to use the ladder or diving board & slides only.

Hm... how grateful I am to not having bought Sims 3.

This is one of my newest discovery's about TS2 (because I really didn't pay attention before): I have spent a better part of my morning now just looking through Sim sites and comparing how much more beautiful TS2 Sims are in contrast to TS3 Sims. Sorry to those of you who enjoy or like the Sims 3, but they are FUNKY LOOKIN'!! I'm glad I stuck to my guns on just expanding on 2.

(NOTE: The above was not meaning to begin a brawl, but just to state my opinion)

The great thing about this game is that I always find myself discovering new things all the time, even after owning the game for nearly 7 years (even the little stuff like shortcuts)!

One of my greatest discovers is that you can hit the TAB key on your keyboard while taking a picture, so it includes all objects, plant-life, stairs, and everything else that may fade as you zoom in to take a picture. Then you hit TAB again to get the menu back. Great tool!

Another, is when I use a pregnancy mod to end a pregnancy, usually the Sim will still walk and act like she's prego for awhile after that. But, in order for her to stop, I change the day and wait an hour or so (Sim-time) and she'll be back to normal.

Also, I have to say, that some of my greatest discoveries were due to combining tips and cheats that I have gotten from some of you guys on this site. So, thanks, for helping my game-play just improve (not to sound too sappy, lol).
