The Sims 2 (Windows)

This page details bugs of The Sims 2 (Windows).

To do: Some of the infamous glitchy base game sims should probably be covered here. E.g. Knut Futa in particular, and a lot of the pre-made desceased sims in Strangetown (especially the pre-made ghosts of sims buried in the Specter lot) for example, are very corrupt and buggy.

Custom Food Corrupted IDs#

In all versions, Custom Food uses an invalid ID when it is used in cooking contests. The only known way to fix it apart from deleting all custom foods is to use a mod that hides all custom foods in food contests.

Sim on the Phone#

When a Sim is on the phone, the game internally considers that Sim to be "Talking" to the other Sim, even though the other Sim cannot be seen. If the game is saved when a Sim is on the phone, the main Sim is reset when the game is restarted, but the Sim on the phone is still considered on the lot and is not reset. This can cause bugs if a global mod or a new EP is installed, however these 'off world loiterers' can easily be fixed with mods such as the FFS Lot Debugger.
