You've been thinking about your old flame Dylan all day. Why don't you invite Mickey Finn to the Starlight Cafe for dinner. That should keep your mind off of old memories. Right?...

Hi Riley! Seeing you last night sure brought back old memories. I'll swing by tonight around 8pm so we can catch up. See you then!	Hi Riley! I heard from a mutual friend that you were in town. How awesome is that? Say, I'd like to swing by your place around 8 p.m. so we can catch up. How about we make it dinner? Is that cool?	Aspyr GAL
Oh boy! You better get ready for your dinner with Dylan. Increase your cooking skill to at least level 5 to ensure a dinner he'll never forget.	What can I say? Hearing his voice brought back a lot of memories. I guess I'm cooking tonight, but I can barely make toast without the fire department knowing about it. I better start reading some cookbooks so hopefully we can skip the emergency room.	Aspyr GAL
Oh boy! Your stomach is all aflutter! Good thing you've been boning up on your cooking skill. Because you don't need to increase your culinary skills, you had time to perfect a new meal!	Good thing I am master of all things cuisine, otherwise I'd have to sit around reading a cookbook all day. Now I'll just tidy up and wait for Dylan to get here. Knowing him he'll probably be late.	Aspyr GAL
Unfortunately you didn't get your cooking skill high enough to ensure you wouldn't be spending your date in an emergency room. You'll just have to call Dylan and reschedule for tomorrow. Hopefully you can improve enough by then to have him over.	I just can't get this stupid recipe! Paprika?!? What in the world is that? Well, I told him that if I don't call him to just come by tomorrow at 8 p.m. Hopefully I can figure out what the heck I'm doing before then.	Aspyr GAL
Congratulations on your culinary success! You are now ready for for dinner with Dylan. What time did he say he'd come by again? Oh yeah, 8 pm!	Ah! Paprika! I get it now! I hope Dylan is prepared for a culinary tour de force! What time did he say he'd come by? Oh yeah, 8 p.m.	Aspyr GAL
Darn! You just missed Dylan. Hope he's not mad. You'll just have to invite him over again to pick up where you left off!	Huh? Did I just hear someone at the door? I hope I didn't just miss Dylan, otherwise I'm going to just have to call and invite him back.	Aspyr GAL
You'd forgotten how good of a kisser Dylan is. Why don't you take it up a notch and give him a REAL kiss?	Oh my! I'd forgotten how good of a kisser Dylan was! How about I give him a real romantic kiss? After all, it's been what, four years since we dated? That's nothing!	Aspyr GAL
Sure you dated him for 2 years, but aren't you moving a little too fast for having just reunited? Try 'buttering' him up first before going for the two-tongue mambo.	Wrong. I guess four years was a little too long. Hmm. I guess I better try buttering him up first before going for the two-tongue mambo.	Aspyr GAL
Wow. That was nice. However something troubles you about this whole ordeal. Something you just can't put your finger on...	Wow, that was nice! Something is bothering me though. I mean, I'm not technically dating Mickey, but we are seeing each other; however, it's almost like I'm being compelled to continue on this date with Dylan. Maybe I shouldn't question it.	Aspyr GAL
Grrrummmmrrrr... My goodness! Was that you? You better start and serve dinner quick before you scare Dylan off!	Enough reminiscing--I better get started on dinner before Dylan starts rummaging through my trash.	Aspyr GAL
That dinner was spectacular! There's only one way to top off this night...	Oh, my goodness! Dinner was excellent if I do say so myself. I don't think I can get up, I'm so full! Dylan may need to carry me. OK, so it's just a lame excuse to leap into his arms. Either way, I'm going for it!	Aspyr GAL
Score! The rest of the date is now yours...	Aww, that's nice of him, but I think it's a little too soon for me to start having any serious feelings for Dylan again. I still need to find out what's going to happen with Mickey.	Aspyr GAL

The sfx1.package, which is located at the path "TSData\Res\Sound" contain five full unused music tracks. This tracks can be found by extracting the contents of this package using SimPE into a folder. The extracted package will consist of 4 folders and one file. The unused music tracks are located in "2026960B - mp3 or xa Sound File" folder. The files in the "2026960B - mp3 or xa Sound File" folder need to be sorted by file size from largest to smallest. The five larger files are these tracks. You can listen to these music tracks below:

Ownable cars from the base game The Sims 2#

To do:
Repeat the experiment and take screenshots of what was mentioned in the source.

The game also contains leftovers from the ownable cars that were supposed to be in the base game⁵. Here's what happens if you unlock the car and drive it using the available menu item on the car, Go Downtown⁶:

Sim gets in the car. The window for selecting which community lot to visit does not appear. Car drives away. The loading screen appears, which is similar to the loading screen when Sim visits the hospital from Chris Hatch's Hospital mod in The Sims 2.

Sim returns by car to the lot from which he left, to his residential lot. And then the differences begin to appear depending on who was driving.

If a teen was leaving, then:

The lot changes its type of lot, becomes a community lot.
If a teen is selected, a dialog box will appear when you exit the game with a warning about not being able to save in a community lot.
If a father is selected, the usual dialog box appears when you exit the game with the option to save the game in the residential lot.

If a father was leaving, then:

The lot remains residential lot.
If a father is selected, the usual dialog box appears when you exit the game with the option to save the game in the residential lot.

The experiment was conducted in a Margison family from Four Corners neighbourhood. There is no way in the game to add Downtown to the main neighborhood.

Mentions of families from the base game The Sims 2#

To do:
Research more.

In the objects.package of the game left Behaviour functions (BHAV), the names of which include mentions of the Capp and Monty families from Veronaville:

Sub - Is Lot a Capp Lot?
Sub - Object is Capp?
Sub - Is Lot a Monty Lot?
Sub - Object is Monty?

Internal Names#

Inside the UIText contain names for University, Nightlife, Open For Business and Family Fun Stuff expansions. Oddly enough, in the English strings, The Sims 2 SP2 and The Sims 2 EP4 are mentioned, both of them which would be The Sims 2: Glamour Life Stuff and The Sims 2: Pets Expansion Pack.

Leftover Sims 2 action text#

Since the game is a modified version of The Sims 2, there are leftover text strings calling up actions from the base game and expansions that are still in the game's code. However, the actions themselves have been deleted and the code to call them up branched over and commented out. Using SimPE, one can find the text in some of the game's packages.

Unused skills strings for The Sims 2#

In Res/Objects/Global/Behavior.package, mentions of skills that were supposed to appear in The Sims 2 were saved. These lines were later reserved. Resource name: Person Data Labels. Group: 0xFFFFFFFF.

Sims 2 Housekeeping Robot#

To do:
Merge this into leftovers models sub-page...

Another leftover is the housekeeping robot from the base game. The robot, however, is not functional and only its model data and texture files are left. Any actions it could perform in the base game, like the actions above, were deleted. In this case, the text also was deleted as well. All that can be used of the robot is placing its model on a lot, albeit unclickable.

Oddly, only the CleanBot is leftover.

Regional Differences#

To do:
sfx2 is different across languages.

Title Logo#

Dependant on the language, the game's opening logo (Locale/(selected language)/LifeStories.movie) either has a unique animation or a simple fade-in, with the sound effects being identical for both variations in all languages. Only five languages, which are the Hungarian, Thai, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Japanese opening logos have the latter animation.

Below is an example of the English and Japanese languages;

English	Japanese
TSLS_EnglishIntroMovie.mp4	TSLS_JapaneseIntroMovie.mp4

As the name is retained in Danish and Italian, there's no unique opening file and defaults to the English one instead.
