Well, since we know you can find the shift key (Wink), can you please take the time to make sure you're using capital letters where they should be (beginning of sentences, the nominative "I", etc), so as to ensure what you post is easily understood by everyone? Thank you.

I just found out kids can slide down the rail instead of walking down the stairs.

I recently discovered that when a simmie gets abducted by aliens his/her "needs" gauges go bonkers and look like a disco light show.  I wonder if the baby will be a little green alien since the mom was already preggers when she got abducted.

Addendum:  Turns out the little one was a regular baby.  Or as regular as babies get when the mom is a very pale, pointy-eared elf gal.

Hate to disappoint you Max, but it's only the men who get pregnant when they get abducted. At least this has been my experience.

Unless you get pregnant by a hack or testingcheats for a female. Cheesy
I made lots of cute alien babies by females using testingcheats.

Yes, absolutely! I'm always discovering new things in Sims 2. One of the most recent things I discovered is that I can easily reassign Adult Female outfits to Elder Females in Sim PE. That happened quite by accident when I was playing around one day in Sim PE and just out of curiosity opened up a clothing package file just to look at the "guts" of it (Which is something I really like to do, in spite of the risks involved).

While poking through the different parts I came across and opened "Property Set". Curious I looked into that and an item called "Age" caught my eye. Even more curious now I went online and began investigating the whole clothing package property set thing and it was at that time that I discovered that I could change clothing age assignments by changing the last two numbers in the property set value to the appropriate number (48 for young adults, 08 for adults and 10 for elders).

I was totally delighted by this discovery and proceeded to reassign several adult outfits for Elder use. This has turned out great because I always disliked the Maxis default elder female outfits and always felt my elder ladies could look way better than Maxis thought they should.

Another discovery in my next thread since this one's too long already.

Another fairly recent discovery was something I'd always guessed at but had not tried, before: How to make "better" elders.

I'd always hated how elders were discriminated against in Sims 2 and had always wanted to do something about that.

Being fairly familiar with Sim PE (I'm no expert by any means) I knew a Sims age assignment could be changed in the Sim overview panel so, having several elder Sims who I thought were being treated like crap I opened their files in Sim PE and, using the overview panel, changed their age assignments from Elder to Adult. Viola! All of a sudden these poor, neglected elders were being treated like regular people! Huzzah! Cheesy

It was that way that I also found I could create some very lovely and sexy Elder females as well, creating them as adults in CAS and then reassigning their ages in Sim PE overview. It's made for some truly interesting and fun sims!

I don't think this is exactly new,but while I was searching through the internet {out of completely boredom} I read something about being able to see Bella Goth in Pleasantview while cruising in a hot air balloon..so sure enough,I turn the game on and visit Pleasantview..and what do you know,people weren't kidding..ha. If it wasn't for those people with sharp eyes,I wouldn't have ever spotted Bella in the hot air balloon..but her body looks weird..like she's extremely thin,I don't know..but that was pretty cool to see. Geeky..yeah,I know. XD

They do that all the time in my game. Kind of annoying, really...

The reason the "Bella" in the balloon is thin, SAM, is that the mesh used seems to be just a simple polygon with a Bella-picture on a transparent background, or something along those lines.

LOL I really never knew about the Bella thing. I wonder how hard people have to look for that one XD

Just found this out, and it was one of those "OMG WHAT??" moments where I felt like slapping myself for not having known it all along.

You can rotate floor tiles ... using the < and > keys, just like *any object* ... so like those dashed road lines ... you can make a double-dashed line down the road.  And so many other things.  Wow.

I discovered yesterday that when a sim relaxes on his bed and there's a radio in the room, he can listen to music while relaxing   Cheesy
