Castaway Stories for Sims 2.

These 3 hoods need Pets EP to play.
All 3 Pets Stories Hoods for Sims 2. You will need to fix some walls and floors to your taste. (These are the original hoods from the Pets Stories game numbered PET1, PET2 and PET3.)

I like the look on Pleasantview and I like more roads so I have flatten out the mountains and added more roads.

Well after the last site went down for downloading them that had the Stories Games Welcome Bin (Cool Stuff) item, I have uploaded them to the Graveyard and there now able to be down loaded from there.

9 for Life Stories.
9 for Pet Stories.
4 for Castaway Stories.

Last know site: http://www.thesimsstories.co.uk/CoolStuff.aspx (Still there but you can no longer download them.)
ADD: This site is now gone to.

Now at the Graveyard: http://sims2graveyard.com/

Even if you don't have LS and you do have PS you can use the items from LS in PS. Here is how to do it. This is one from LS "Bar_Lounge_NightClub.SimsLSPack" all you need to do is rename it to look like this. "Bar_Lounge_NightClub.SimsPSPack", all I did was change the L to a P and it will install into PS. LS Bar will also work in CS by changing the L to a C.
Not all will work in CS, I do know both the LS Bar and Jukebox works in CS but the "Cow Plant" will not, I have not tested any other item in CS yet.

You can also install Sims2.pack into all 3 by changing the "2" to either "LS, PS and CS". Just make sure the items for LS is for OFB, NL and UNI. and not all will work, I don't know all EP/SP that was use for PS but I have did this for PS and so far all thing for Sims 2 Pets EP works for me.
  

Well folks I have been a little busy with this and now here it is.

I have updated the story and place some new stuf plus renumbered this hood to N107 for any one who wants the updated one link now posted.

Come one, come all.

Thsms204 Made the org. re-creation of the lost Maxis Riverside Hood. http://thsms204.webs.com/ With that being said it was also buggy.
Sadly Thsms204 left the Sims 2 community back in 2011 with out bringing out his V3 that he said was in the workings.

Well I have made V3  using only the base game and following Celesta92059 tutorial on resurrecting sims with no character data.
http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Resurrecting_tips#Resurrecting_Sims_with_no_character_data
I have giving the deleted sims back there data and have clone all the sims and made them anew in this V3 Riverside Hood.
I have made all the houses with interior walls and floors to make them livable, unlike the org hood only having just the outside walls and no floors and interior walls.

The org hood have 2 familys in the family bin, well following the pics from Gamespot I have made the 2 houses and move the Russell and the Brooklyns into them.

There were 16 Townies and 4 other sims that were deleted from the game which some of the playable sims had memory of and these are the ones I brought back to life.

I have fix all the genes to what they should be. I have re-wrote the story and added bio's to all the playable sims.

I used clean and empty "Base Game" template to make. There will be very little Townies when you frist start to play this. Most of them will be the party going teens plus 2 adults
I used Mootilda Hood Checker Program from MTS, before, during and after making this hood. So there should be no problems.

Credit goes to:
 Thsms204 for the original idea, the likeness of the Sims and the look of the outside of the houses.
 Mootilda for her great programs, the Lot Compressor and Lot Adjuster.
 And a Big Thanks for Hood Checker program.
 Peni Griffin for her "GREAT" help in re-writing the story and Bio's of all the Sims.
 Thanks to SaraMK and Argon for their Empty and Cleaned up Templates.

Hard Times Challenge.

See how long it takes you to get a sim with 1,000,000 credits.

Make 2 Sims and move them in.
Every 48 hours you must have them try for baby un-till you have 8 Sims or you cant try any more because of age.

Lot.
2X2 lot.
2 bed rooms 4x4, 1 bathroom with lowest cost every thing that is needed, 1 K/DR of 2x4, and 1 5x5 living room. (Just make it fit.) You can have what ever you need in hallways as long as there no wider than 1 sq. This is just to get started with.

Stuff you can have to start.
You can have 1 double bed energy 3, 1 lowest cost counter (2 if you use counter/sink combo), 1 lowest cost sink (or lowest cost stand alone sink), 1 lowest cost frig., 1 lowest cost stove 1 lowest cost couch, 1 lowest cost dining table with 2 lowest cost chairs, 1 inside trash can and 1 lowest cost book shelf.
After this your Sims will have only 2000 credits left to start there lives with.



Ok to start you can learn only 1 point in each skill, to get more skill you must have 25k in savings to get to the 2nd skill point in each skill and for each new skill point you want after the 2nd you must have 10k more credits for each one. ( So if you want 3 in cooking then you need 35k in savings and if you want 3 in cooking and 3 in cleaning then you must have 45k in savings.) If savings fall below the amount for that skills you have then you must drop the 1 skill down. (Yes that is 105k to get 3 points in all skills if you want them.)
you do not have to get all skill but for the first 2 points, you must have all skills to 2 before you can move up to 3 in any skill you want. Just remember you must have all skills up to the amount of friends you want to have. 1 friend = 1 in all skills, 2 friends = 2 points in all skills, 3 friends = 3 points in all skills (which means you must have 105k credits in savings to have 3 points in skills to be able to have 3 friends.) You can think of the cost for the points is the cost of training to that lvl if you want to. It cost you to learn and live.
If by chance you get free points in skill with chance cards then they are free to keep.

You must have a point in all skill to make a friend, so you can start out once you get 1 point in all skill then you can have 1 friend, after saving up 25k and getting points up to 2 in all skill then you can have a 2nd friend so on for each friend you want to have.

Once you reach 100k in savings then you can move to a bigger lot if you want to.
But remember you must have in savings the amount you need for skills and friends, if credits fall below the lvl for your skill/friends then you must drop 1 or both down to match the amount of credits you have .
IE: You want to buy a new bed and you have 35k in saving so you have 2 in all skills and you have cooking up to 3, you buy the bed and your savings fall to 34k then you must drop cooking back to 2 un-till you get back up to 35k then you can "relearn" the skill back.

No selling broken things and rebuy you must fix them, you can sell if you buy something better. (Like you buy new stove then you can sell old working stove.)

No service Sims un-till you have in savings 200k credits.

CC is ok but no mods that by pass the game, like no flamingo-of-contentment and I dont recomend ACR or unlimited sims mods.


No elixir of life or any thing that will prolong sims life you need to let them die. If there is no Teen or younger on the lot then all funds left are gone but for what is inherited normaly.

If teen goes to college then un-till they get out of college they can go off of parents funds for skills/friends.
After college they must drop all skills and friends down to the lvl of credits they have then start there live anew. This means that if they dont have 25k credits then they must lose all points down to 1 on all skills and only have 1 none family friend. What ever YA earned in college is the funds they start out with after college.

All kids that hit adult age must move out and start there families following the same rules as above then you can start rotation with them.

All house holds funds are for all Sims that live on the same lot, except for YA in college.

We over at Simbology are asking any one who might have any of Ancient Highway mods to please upload them and Simbology will host them for all to download  at: http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php?board=47.0

We are trying to find these and any other mods done by Ancient Highway.

I know some are here but only a few.

Did not know were to post so here goes, for both Life and Pet Stories you can use the Sim Manipulator at: http://simmanipulator.forumotion.com/t7-download-the-sim-manipulator.

For Castaway Stories the Sim Blender works just fine. http://www.simbology.com/smf/index.php?topic=20.0

Mods if this is in the wrong place, please move to where it needs to go.

Insim works in Pet Storie, have not tested it in the other 2.

Just remember dont use some of the cheats untill the Story is over.

Ok this is 100 years before Pleasantview using clean and empty templates to make.

After making the hood and adding in Downtown and Bluewarter Vilage, I used Mootildas Hood Checker program to make sure it was empty.
I also use Mootildas HoodReplace program to change Downtown terrain, I also flatten out some of the mountains.

Using this Celesta92059 tutorial on resurrecting sims with no character data. http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Resurrecting ... acter_data
After giving them data I use SimPE to extract them so I could make them anew.

I have made all the Pleasantview Ancestor's and have moved them into houses in all 3 hoods, Pleasantview, Downtown and Bulewater vilage.
Will you take them back to the future or will you take them in a whole new way.
You can make them like they were by following this http://sims.wikia.com/wiki/Pleasantview

Hope you like it.  

Will require Nightlife and Open for Business.

I dont think there should be any problems, I am looking for how it plays and if you all will like it.

ADD: I have re-number the hood to N101 for those who wish to keep the org. N001 in.
