This is a sub-page of The Sims 2 (Windows).
Due to the game's complicated development before and after the base game was released, it's no surprise that there's bound to be a more than just a few mistakes.

|
To do: |
T431 Globe Street in Veronaville has two pinball machines placed in the exact same spot, which can cause routing issues.
Object Oversights#
Mismatched Medieval Set Wallpaper#
The Castle Walls Wallpaper set included in Family Fun Stuff don't fully match up, due to the "sky" in the Cloudless Castle Walls having a different gradient compared to the others. This error affects all color variations except for pink, which is displayed on the right.
Though hard to see, The Dragon in Orange Wallpaper has gradients at some of the corners which don't match up either. That oversight isn't present in other variants of the wallpaper.
Unlit Clothing Store Sign#
The clothing store sign is the only one to not light up at night, but an unused texture can be found for it.

This is how the sign was intended to look in-game;

Rarely-Seen Superflex Uber UV Guitar Recolors#
While not really an oversight, the Superflex Uber UV Guitar introduced in University has recolors that are rarely seen unless the Design Mode option is used on the guitar itself. This is due to the object being categorized as that, rather than the entire set unlike other musical instruments.

The same issue happens on The Rock Hammer guitar Music Career Reward introduced in Seasons.
Graphical Oversights#
Aspiration Icon Error#
The Want for Have 10 Best Friends introduced in the Pets expansion has a small line on the left. It cannot usually be seen in the Wants due to lining up with the slot.
Low-Res Talk Portraits?#
|
|
To do: |
In FreeTime, When talking about Arts and Crafts to other Sims, the graphics on the speech bubbles for the topic appear to be glitched.
Duplicate Sim Graphic on University Menu#
If University or University Life is the newest installed expansion or compilation, the Sims on the main menu screen will change to accommodate the theme. The bottom-right Sim does not have a third variant of the graphic, instead reusing a duplicate of the second.
Due to graphics being found in the UI/.ui folder and not having names, they will be named after instances for easier organization.

Switched Firefighter Outfits#
There are two textures for Firefighters in premade neighborhoods, aubodyfirefighter-khakistyle (beige-colored) and aubodyfirefighter-eurostyle (blue colored).
|
|
|---|---|
 |
 |
Strangetown and Pleasantview use the blue-colored firefighter outfits for firefighter NPCs, while Veronaville uses the beige-colored outfits, meaning that the outfits have been accidentally switched around as Veronaville was always planned to be a European-themed neighborhood.

Kimberly Monif (Strangetown) |
Steffi Trottier (Veronaville) |

Neighborhoods included in later expansions would use either outfits, but The Sims Life Stories would only use the blue outfits, leaving the cream-colored outfits unused.
Create-A-Sim Oversights#
Inaccessible Custom-Colored Hairstyles in Create-A-Sim#
One of the most notorious errors that was never fixed in any expansion nor patch was the inaccessible Custom Color Hairstyles for Sims of both genders and Life Stages in Create-a-Sim, which was never fixed due to the requirement of the Sim needing to pick a hair genetic to be passed down to their relatives. It can be accessed if a Sim goes to a mirror object with the Change Appearance interaction. It's not even available via the boolprop testingcheatsenabled true cheat.

Duplicate Mayor Outfit#
The outfit unlocked by reaching Mayor on the Politics Career for Male Sims is erroneously duplicated if viewed via Debug Mode in Create-A-Sim; both outfit variants use the red tie rather than a secondary option using a blue-patterned tie. That oversight is not present on Female Sims.
There's even an unused texture of the intended secondary option.

Teen Style Stuff Ponytail Error#
Compared to other hairstyles that have color variances in accessories, this ponytail hairstyle for Female Teenager Sims introduced in Teen Style Stuff only has one...but it changes depending on the hairstyle color rather than having separate variants for hairband colors. Oddly, there's also a fifth, grey hair variant with a light blue hairband except that it's unused.

LOD Neighborhood View Model Oversights#
Aqueduct of the Future!#
The fountain introduced in Pets only has one white lod90 texture, and as of a result, only one is used in the neighborhood view compared to other graphics that have recolors in that LOD model.

Miscellaneous Oversights#
- Sims can obtain outfits from buying clothes at Community Lots, moving in Sims or by joining Careers to get specific clothing. Though specific Career or NPC outfits can be obtained this way, headgear cannot, due to the Change Appearance function already having most of the normally-accessible hairstyles.
Filename Oversights#
- The texture file for the Chinese Food delivery outfit in University is erroneously called aubodypizzadelivery-ch0_lifo.
- The texture file for the cardigan with capri outfit introduced in Open For Business is erroneously called afbodyglitter-pink0_lifo, due to looking more red than pink.
- The texture file for the Way Coolinary Kitchen Island counter design with black-and-white flower patterns over a green background is mistakenly called counterislandbargroovy-countertop-triangles0_lifo, where the patterns don't resemble triangles at all.
- The texture files for the Baby Boy Blue Carpet and Baby Girl Pink Carpet in FreeTime are called carpet-classic-bearborder-blue and carpet-classic-bearborder-pink respectively, despite having no bear-border patterns on them. They're also unusually 2x2 tiled, implying that the bear border was planned for them.
