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.

9 Mill Lane

I have been building quite a few Sims 2 lots lately, recording as I go and turning them into speed builds for posting on YouTube.  My latest is "9 Mill Lane" and I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I did use custom content in this lot, mainly for the flowers in the garden which are converted from TS4 Cottage Living to TS2.  These plants are seen as "objects" and don't need watering or trimming, so that saves your Sims a lot of time in the garden!  As with all lots, if you download this, all custom content is included in the file.

As you will see from the end of the video, my Sims seemed to settle in very well in their new home 😃

So, without further ado, here is the video - enjoy!

Open for Business Tutorial in The Sims 2

I have been asked a few times how to start up and run a business in the Open for Business expansion pack for The Sims 2 so I decided to make a video!

Here you will see my Sim opening the "Just Flowers and More" business lot in Bluewater and she seems to be making a pretty good go of it.

If you ever wanted to run your own business in The Sims 2 but didn't quite know how, this video is for you!
