Making a Greek House

Whenever I start a new game in The Sims 2, I like to start with young adults at University.  I feel that this gives my Sims a good start in life by learning skills and meeting their lifetime partners.

When doing this, I enjoy making a Greek House for the boys and another for the girls.  I do this separately to allow more Sims to go to Uni in my hometown, such as sons and daughters of my Legacy family and their grandchildren and cousins.  I then create a partner for Sims that have been born to families and they all join the Greek House that my original Sims have made.

These Greek Houses become bigger and better as time goes on, with families contributing items such as televisions, pool tables and anything else that the Greek Houses may need, including career reward items that families have two or more of.

I tend to cheat a bit when I first make the Greek Houses, such as taking items from the dorm to place inside the house, just to start them off.  However, I only do this once and then either delete the old dorm or replace everything in build/buy mode.

So, for posterity, I decided to create a video on how I do this, using my Sim that has just gained access to the Secret Society.

If you would like to see how I create a Greek House in The Sims 2, or if you ever wanted to create a Greek House but wasn't sure how to do it, then hopefully this video will help you or at least give you an idea.  Of course, you can cheat some Simoleons to build the house but I just prefer to take the stuff from the dorm, as my Sim has already paid for it in rent 😃

The Sims 2 Secret Society

As with the Open for Business expansion pack for The Sims 2, I have also been asked how Sims can join the Secret Society at University.


I don't always get my Sims to join the Secret Society when playing, only my Legacy or Goth-type family, so as to keep the Society a bit of an enigma for others.


Although Sims are able to go to the Secret Society house where there are some cool things, such as career reward objects and lifetime aspiration reward objects, I usually have these things after a few generations, in my Greek Houses which I set up from scratch.  They are also able to hack their grades and seem to automatically know about the "secret handshake" which only members can perform.


So, I decided to make a tutorial showing you how your Sim can join the Secret Society in The Sims 2 University.  It took just over three Sim days which I thought was pretty good, considering that my Sim had to get skill points, do his term paper and make friends with three of the Secret Society members during that time.
