The Sims 2....Share your screens and stories here!

So I was browsing around Wikipedia and I had no idea that you can do this with OFB! Read below:

Servo, a robot from the Livin' Large expansion pack for the original Sims, requires a gold robot badge for a Sim to make him/her (The player can set the gender when they instruct a Sim to turn it on for the first time). Servo is now a part of the family, with its own motives (Power, which can be recharged in the day outside, and fun, social, and environment, which work as normal), wants and fears, while its aspiration and personality are the same as its creator. Servo can perform any romantic interaction (except try for baby, although it has the option to adopt). Servos have full cooking, cleaning and mechanical skills (all other skills are the same as the creator's) and a random set of talent badges that sims do not have. Servos do not age, when they "die" they backfire - when Servos backfire, they run around dirtying the house and shocking Sims; this may result in death of Sims on the lot, controllable or visiting. Servos can, however, be killed; the Cowplant (from the University Expansion), Satellites (through using the 'Watch Clouds' or 'Stargaze' actions) and Elevators plummeting can all kill a Servo, as it causes instant death, rather than relying on motive decay.
In addition to Servo, the game adds five other robots:
Toy robots have no special functionality. If made correctly it will be a raise of fun for children to adults. If made wrong, or failed it will try and attack the person playing with it.
HydroBots water plants and extinguish fires. When broken, the robot will spray water everywhere.
CleanBots clean floors, and when broken, the robot will spread filth. If it breaks it can kill your sims.
The SentryBot delivers an electric shock from a Tazer in the top of the robot to anyone who attempts to steal household objects (including newspapers) or kick things over. If the robot breaks, it will shock random people, which may result in death.
The MunchieBot fetches take-out, which costs as much as having it delivered but is faster. When it's broken, the bot will leave the lot and bring back dirty dishes.
 
I'm so jealous that you got it! Can't wait to hear about it!

And you know, I've never played with any of the robots from OFB! Maybe I'll give it a try tonight to kill time!

Funny enough, I went in and played some of the premade Pleasantview families last night- I forgot how much fun they were!
 
I've only played just a little tonight. Now the Sims are competing with American Idol. But I did play the new neighborhood a bit with the Plantsims family! As you can see here, Rose and Daisy are having a blast playing in the rain!

Looks cool!

I finally got a tracking code for mine..it's in Connecticut, so looks like I won't get it until tomorrow! :(

I read online a lot of people were having luck finding it at Best Buy today, if anyone is looking for it..

I cleaned up all my folders..now we just need to get it here!

My sims got into a rousing water balloon fight! :lmao:
 
I forgot to mention that I got a hint in the mail yesterday for registering...

Here it is.

Position a Ladybug Box near crops to protect them against pests without the damaging effects of pesticides.
 
Got mine yesterday at Best Buy on the dot of 2:00!! :thumbsup2

I played all the rest of the afternoon and evening (until late) and I'm off work again today so I'll be playing most of today too! :banana:

I love how the seasons change, it's awesome! It's fun how they can make snow angels and build snowmen and go ice skating. It's just turning to spring for my SIM so she planted a garden: tomatoes, cucumbers and strawberries. It's fun tending it!

I love how you can put leftover food back into the refrigerator now, instead of wasting it if you only have two SIMS and they make enough for six!

And all the new furnishings for the house, love, love LOVE the country stuff!!

It's so much FUN!! :banana:

Question for you guys. I want to play the new plant neighborhood, but also want to keep my current main family. If I move them out of their house and into the new neighborhood, will their skills and relationships go back to 0?

USPS hasn't updated their delivery confirmation beyond they have been notified for pickup (it's been like that since Tuesday). Looks like I'm not going to get it until Monday or Tuesday :( At least I am on Spring Break next week and can play after work :banana:

Hmm I'm not sure I ever transferred a sim to another neighborhood. Can you even do that? I've made the transfer from the university back to the neighborhood that the university is in but never neighborhood to neighborhood. I hope somone has an answer for you!
 
I can't quit playing! I played yesterday afternoon and evening and almost all of today!! My only problem is I haven't had any "summer." :confused3

Yesterday when I started it was winter, and a really l-o-n-g one, then it went into spring and then right into fall and back to winter now. What happened to summer? The only season icons I have on the screen are for winter, spring and fall. No summer at all. :confused3 Anyone else have this?
 
Grrr, I drove to Wal-Mart to get it, and they don't have it yet! I'll have to go to Target tomorrow. Stupid Wal-Mart!!!

Did anyone get the guide to go with it?

Did you pick your seasons in the neighborhood screen? If not, you can adjust them there. I know there's a way to pick the seasons so you can have only one, only 2, only 3..or all 4. I haven't played with it too much yet though.

So far I love it! I had a rain shower so far..getting ready to go into fall. I can't wait! :)

I didn't know that! Thanks so much for pointing it out! I went and changed mine so I can have "normal" seasons instead of 2 winters. :) Maybe later I'll make it so I have a longer summer (skip winter) so I can grow more veggies!! I have to work today so I'm going to have to quit soon, darn it! :(

Our local Wal-Mart said they sometimes don't get the new computer games until a few days after they come out. :confused3

I've had good luck in the past with Target, but went in the morning once and they said they wouldn't have it until afternoon on the day it came out.

Is it something you can change in the settings?
 
Got mine today!! I'm creating a new family in the new neighborhood to try everything out- of course I've been playing for like an hour and a half, and I'm still building their house :)

I'm having a weird thing happen where I can't get the custom content to work. I keep going into the settings and clicking "enable custom content", but it won't show! I've got some figuring out to do!

I love the new hairstyles, and being able to select one for each type of outfit! And the little girl outerwear with the octopus on it is the cutest thing EVER!

There is a selector when your in neighborhood view..I haven't -played with it much though so I don't know how everything works. Basically you have 4 "seasons" but you can adjust it so it's winter/summer/winter/summer or whatever..

I'm having a weird thing happen where I can't get the custom content to work. I keep going into the settings and clicking "enable custom content", but it won't show! I've got some figuring out to do!

I had this issue too. I fixed it by

1) Moving my downloads folder to another spot on my computer (out of the EA Games folder)
2) Open Seasons Body Shop (this will create a new, blank downloads folder for you)
3) Close Body Shop
4) Copy everything in the original downloads folder and move it to the new, blank downloads folder
5) Start your game up

Hopefully that will work for you.
 
I went into my downloads folder and deleted the two items that were showing up with the ! symbol on the custom content list, restarted the game, and it works! Hooray!

A few snapshots to share:

seasons1.jpg


I think this is the cutest outfit EVER!


seasons2.jpg


My Sims are obsessed with fishing! So far, they've only caught largemouth bass.

seasons3.jpg


I mounted their first catches on the wall. You also have the choice to cook them- when I sent one to make lunch, the option of "bass with squash" came up on the fridge!

seasons4.jpg


I love the new dresser/vanity that came with the country set, and this new hairstyle!

The neighborhood I'm playing starts in winter, but I haven't had snow yet (only on the evening of day 2, though!) The newspaper has a nifty new feature of checking the weather forecast, and it's calling for snow, so hopefully I'll get some soon!

Is the "play catch" option new with Seasons, too, or have I just never noticed it before?
 
Okay, another update- I'm having fun! :)

This is the Seasons family, btw- August, Spring, their daughter April, and dog Sunny.

seasons5.jpg


(I figured it was easier to introduce them so I can use names in the pictures!)

seasons6.jpg


It finally started to snow!


seasons7.jpg


seasons9.jpg


Everyone ran to the window to check it out- they also got a memory of seeing their first snow!

seasons8.jpg


This sparkly meal was made from a trout! Notice the cute new kitchen decorations in the background!

seasons10.jpg


Making snow angels


seasons11.jpg


Snowball fight!


seasons12.jpg


Snowman making...

seasons13.jpg


And destroying!


seasons14.jpg


Okay, so kids dancing on feet is old, but I love it!


And now, the most interesting thing to happen so far:

seasons15.jpg


Spring and August were eating breakfast... do you notice anything weird in the background of this picture?


seasons16.jpg


There's a freaking penguin in the house!


seasons17.jpg


April tried to make friends


seasons18.jpg


Remember the fish mounted on the wall? Mr. Penguin wanted it! He kept trying to jump up to get it! CUTE!

I wondered what would happen if I put a fish from August's inventory on the floor...

seasons19.jpg


seasons20.jpg


I didn't get a picture, but half a second later, he had eaten it in one big gulp!

seasons21.jpg


...and then peed on Spring's feet. EWW!

seasons22.jpg


Now he's hanging out outside talking to the remains of the snoman. WEIRD little guy, but I love him!
 
WDW Poly Princess: Thanks for sharing all your SIMS pictures (I have no idea how to do that!), they're neat, especially the one of them eating breakfast and the penguin is IN THE HOUSE!! I didn't know he could come inside! My SIM saw him outside and went over to pet him but that was all.

The sparkly food, is that because the food is "homegrown" or fish that they caught themselves? My food didn't sparkle, until she harvested her garden then the food was sparkly so I figured it was because she used her own vegetables to make it.
