One Man and His Dog


As I've said before, I don't usually play with pets in The Sims 2 but after building 21 Trailer Creek and playing with the new family of Sam and Bob, I decided to make their own little series entitled "One Man and His Dog".

I took quite a liking to this little family and I enjoyed playing them.  I recorded my gameplay just in case something interesting came up that I could use for a short on YouTube and, as is usual in The Sims 2, nearly always, something happens which is of interest.


So, I chopped up my video gameplay which was over a period of 3 Sim days and created a "no commentary" video showing the antics of Bob whilst Sam was at work and things that they both got up to together.

Although I don't have time to play Sam and Bob on a regular basis, I will be playing them again and uploading videos to add to the series.

21 Trailer Creek


I was watching Lilsimsie build a trailer in The Sims 4 and decided to create my own in The Sims 2. 

So I built 21 Trailer Creek and although the trailer is quite small, it is big enough for a couple of Sims.  There is also a front yard with a barbecue and seating area and although I didn't place any gardening plots, there is space for them if you want your Sim to do some gardening and perhaps be a little more self-sufficient.


To test the lot out, I created Sam and his dog Bob and, as you will see from the gameplay video at the end, Bob seemed very happy in his new home, digging holes and playing with his bone.  Sam on the other hand, although happy in his new home, had trouble with one of the neighbours who stole his gnome and then proceeded to try and sell his dog!  He asked her to leave and later went back to retrieve his gnome from her.


This lot is available for download should you want it in your game and you can download from one of the two links below:

Media Fire

Here's the speed build video if you want to see how I built this lot and also watch the gameplay at the end:
