I've been told, at one point there had been a feature to set gender-preference for each sim which has since been pulled. Most likely the decision was made to let gender preference result from player actions as in the original, including marriage.

FYI, Isaac suffered the wrath of MT comment posting errors, so some of his comments may have been snipped. He sent me this by email, and I'm pasting it because he offers a different insight at the end:

At one point there was a feature to specify gender preference for a sim, but this has since been removed. It would be my hope that attraction, and therefore marriage, will be handled in the same gender agnostic fashion as in the original.

Isaac, I'm not sure I understand what you mean here. Wouldn't same-sex marriage necessarily depend on some kind of a gender preference, whether user selectable or not?

I meant the game itself is agnostic. Players encourage amorous relationships ad hoc and orientation is manifest through these actions. By simply not establishing rules to govern sexual preference, the game allows more freedom to create relationships.

If marriage is presented similarly to child rearing in the original, I imagine sex would only determine the wedding costume or their physical relationship before the altar (bride stage right, groom stage left, or randomized if same sex). Win:win. Avoid both politics and adding unnecessary gender bias features.

Isaac -- I don't understand how ad hoc relationships could replace sexual orientation. What is the difference between a close male friend and a legal partner, from the game's perspective?

In other words, doesn't a simulation of marriage have to go beyond the graphic skin on the character to be called a simulation of marriage? And for that matter, wouldn't in-game marriage of any kind need to be more than just a cutscene?

If I understand it correctly, all Sims are essentially bisexual, and a history of intimacy between any two characters, regardless of gender, can trigger romantic behaviour.

Ah, now THAT's a revelation. William, isn't that essentially the same as saying that all Sims are asexual?

That's interesting. But are all (as in all-all) Sims actually bisexual, or only the player controlled ones? I'm assuming that the sequel, like the first, has a set of NPC Sims.

i was the 'discoverer' of the alteration of the change in the FAQ. EA told me that it has been removed because it is uncertain at this point. though i don't see why they would have posted it on there in the first place, if it was uncertain to begin with.

anywho, i'm writing my thesis on gender in the sims and have basically concluded that sims are ungendered (except in terms of looks) as long as they don't want to get married. the issue of bisexuality and all that is really not that interesting, it's all open ended and up to the player right up untill they want their sims to get serious and get married. i can't agree with the agnostic comment because there was one rule in the old game and that is that same-sex sims could NOT get married.

my guess is they won't make you choose a sexual orientation for your sim, but they will allow same-sex marriage without making a big fuss out of it as to not offend to general public. divorce is also included in the new version while in the old version sims were polygamous, so i don't see why they wouldn't change this at the same time.

we'll see,

William, yes thank you; my 4am posts are often murky.

Also, I'd forgotten much about the new features and depth of the Sims2 - birth to death simulation, etc. Things cannot be as straighforward as I suggested. Even without explicit orientation, Sims now have a concept of gender, get physically pregnant, etc. I still believe marriage may be rather trivial to implement without gender bias but wonder how children birth and rearing will be handled for gay couples.

Mieke, ah! I never knew.

Well, Ian, Sims *are* asexual. Or rather, they don't have sexual desire as we have it or the apparata of desire as it exists by biological, historical and social determinations - instead. But the mechanisms of sexual desire in the original Sims wasn't strongly informed by gender or any body-centered elements: it was the result of intimacies that could be read as friendship or non-sexual affection in our terms. If your Sim liked anyone enough, it counted as love, and marriage became a possibility.

Mieke, I was thinking myself the Sims don't have gender, but then I thought it really isn't true in some sense. Remember, Sims are pretty much their skins (OK, there's a software object the generates behaviours underneath it, but those behaviours include the ability to interact with specific objects - and the fact that wardrobe is gender-specific and a property of the Sims world, not the Sims themselves, suggests that gender is part of the Sims construction.) To me, what is interesting is how they model and simulate human sexual identity - the choices they make to create a simulation and delineate sexual behaviors is always going to be a stance in a still-contested discussion about the nature and roots of that behaviour. Having an "orientation flag" that is set early in the game would be a commitment to a nativist position about sexuality, while having an emergent identity would be a commitment to a more fluid social or existential model.

And, whatever position that EA defines as canonical, I wonder how long it will be until other behaviours can be engineered by a critical community of play.

William, I still think Sims gender only runs skin deep in the old version. Yes there is a difference in wardrobe choices, but other than that sims of different genders basically have the same functions and same possibilities for interaction with objects and other sims (excluding marriage). I had my one guy sim jumping into his female lovers arms in slow motion, this sort of behaviour is usually shown the other way around. They are even offered the same jobs and career tracks.

One thing I can't figure out however, is how game play options change when the personality (outgoing, etc.) is changed, I noticed that while some sims can be rude others simply don't offer that option. It'll be interesting to see how those personality traits are going to be defined or developed in sims 2 anywho, or whether we can just 'decide' how clean they are.

Isaac, are you being sarcastic?

No Mieke! I'm being sincere. I didn't know that same sex couples could not marry in the original. It's been quite a long while since I've played it, but thought I'd had a gay marriage there. Apparently not. Most of my Sims tended to be libidinous bisexuals so memories are easily confused.

I'd agree that the original Sims game featured Sims that had the possibility to be asexual/bisexual/hetero/homo sexual. It all depended on how you set up relations--the primary mediating factor was friendship--Sims pretty much refused to get intimate with strangers. :) They were also pretty gender neutral other than marriage (which only heterosexual couples could have-- same sex sims could get intimate and adopt babies, but could only 'move in' with each other). I noticed that the animations for pretty much all activities (kissing; proposing; dancing; etc) were the same for both genders. If you're interested I wrote a paper for GLAAD about the Sims and sexuality- it's at http://www.glaad.org/publications/

I'd be pretty disappointed if the same sex options were removed in Sims 2, but i saw the lack of (official) gay marriage as a way to avoid outright controversy, but through gameplay players could pretty much do what they wanted.

I think what interests me more than whether or not gay Sims can "officially" marry in the sequel is how sexual preference works in the Sims 2 -- if at all. William claimed that sims are asexual, which is true of course, but what I'm asking is how sexuality might be simulated in the sequel. Obviously, we don't know, but it's a nice way to bide the time until the game is released. I guess a better question might be, what would you change about the way sexuality works in the original Sims?

Mia, I doubt they'd take the entire same-sex relationship option out because it is one of the reasons why (some say) the game is so popular. I hope they've just taken it out of the FAQ and left the same-sex marriage in. It's kinda cowardly to keep it quiet, but we'll see,

Ian, tough question. There's so much controversy already about how sexuality 'works' I can't really say what the best solution would be. I've had friends who say they've always known, but I've also known people who have been 'told' all their lives (AND felt they've always known) so who's to say?

I'm pretty curious about the development of Sim's personalities in general. It'll be interesting to see what side the game might have taken in the whole nature/ nurture debate. I wonder if we are still allowed to create the personality of the Sim or if that's something that has to grow.

In a way it all sounds awfully complex to me, I know plenty of players who'd rather stick to building houses....

Mieke > There's so much controversy already about how sexuality 'works' I can't really say what the best solution would be.

Right. Certainly I wouldn't argue that the Sims 2 would strive for an "accurate" representation of human sexuality. Rather, its designers would have to make some decisions -- some rather hefty ones -- about how to choose to represent sexuality.

I agree that the introduction of Sim genetics may play into this. I'm hopeful that the introduction of Sim Nature does not entirely upset the value of Nurture, especially since Nurture is essentially the one verb that describes what the player does in the game.

My brain hurts;-]

This whole issue of "gender priorities" is plain annoying. It doesn't sound like an "editorial mistake", rather an "Oops! Better conform!"

If they spoke about it in the first place, why would the take back their own words? For one, with all the hoopla in our dismal real life, gay marriage does not seem to be widely respected. And it seems if it can take down the approval rating of a Senetor because they vote against legalizing the commitment, then what would it do for the sale of a videogame?

In Maxis' defense, to the conformed public this is probably a good thing. People who want to have a perfect world (har-har).

Rather, the "all equal marriage" supporters can cry out prejudice; they are a minority. With this, less people who would buy the new game (and maybe a lawsuit or two).

I hope Maxis decides not to change the game. There are plenty of Simmers who are more then happy just to stick with Sims 1 series because of the freedom of choice.

If we can't have a perfect world, why disrupt our Sims world? This game is not about politics, and if people want to shelter their children, don't buy the game.

i read an interview with the maxis general manager and he said that there was go to be same gender marriages in the sims 2.

cool, do you have a link or source of that?

One way around the nature-nurture issue is to allow sexual orientation to be an option when designing the character and to allow orientation to develop as in Sims '1'. Anything as complicated as sexual orientation is likely to have more than one cause in any event.

I see the real problem with Sims (1 & 2) is the lack of a provision for close friendships, especially within orientation. To take a relationsip closer it is necessary to fall in love. As relationships develop I would like to see options that can take the characters towards different kinds of 'closeness' as there relationship score went up. Some might become romantic (with or without sex), some might become emotionally intimate (life long friends), Some might just hang out.

Perhaps the choices might be related to a character's goals. For example a family oriented character might get married if they became romantically involved. Other family characters might bet married if they developed a strong but not romantic relationship with someone with the same family orientation? Getting too complicated? Some characters might get married only if their relationship scores were very high.

I need some Aleve...

The way I see it, they tried to make the game as simple as possible without blowing up your motherboard.

If you pay close attention to the game, the AI format of all the characters is actually simple. They go to the bathroom when they want to, they eat if they want to and they have fun if they want to. This is a truely well-organized system just for the fact that they also fall in love if they want to.

When Maxis built the coding for the sim life, they made it very loose. ANY gender sim can fall in love with ANY other gender sim... The whole sim life was derived from a very flexable freedom of choice standpoint. Anything can happen in the sims... I mean, sheesh, you can get abducted by aliens... Does this mean we need to get the believers and nonbelievers together to roll that through, too?

If they were to try to take the game to the extreme where the characters, not the Simmies, could choose what to do with their love life They would make such a complex game that, sooner or later, won't need people to play it. ;)

However if they took it way, the idea of "choice" in the game is slightly blown. At this point, why have the "free will" option? That would take the choice away from them to do what they want to do. They can (and will if you don't pay attention) fall in love with same-genders no matter how it goes.

This is a portion of the chat transcripts taken from the official site:

Kelly (Aug 19, 2004 6:16:46 PM)
Will the sims be able to be homosexual?

MaxisHunter! (Aug 19, 2004 6:16:46 PM)
Yes they can.

That won't answer the question if two male sims can marry, but at least they can be gay, as in the Sims 1.

WE WANT GAY PEOPLE TO GET MARRIED!!!
I WANT A FAT LESBIAN, EA IS RUINING MY DREAMS!!!

GO TO HELL EA!!! YOU GO TO HELL AND YOU DIE!!!

Ok, I haven't read all you guys have posted before, so please excuse me if this was answered already, I was wondering, when 2 male sims get married, can they have kids in the normal way, I mean, Men don't get praigned, will they have to adopt babies like in the original one. I really would like them to have kids normally, not to get praigned, but something like mix their dna and inherit their characteristics, it would be totally cool, hope you can answer me, thanks!

the only way two males, or even two females for that matter, can have a bio-baby together is in create a family mode.

First you create your two sims (same gender) once that is done, go back and edit one, changing it to the opposite sex. once that is done, you can then create a baby between the two sims in create a family. After you have created the baby, go back and edit the sim whose gender you changed, and change it back.

this is what I did so that my sim-self and my sim-husband could have a bio-sim baby.

Please please tell me!

How do you go back and edit a family in TS2? You mention it off handedly and i can find NOONE who knows how. Please share your knowlege with another gay simmer!

Suzannah: You need to do it before you exit the CaF mode.
So, build your two female (e.g) sims.
Now edit one of them. Change the sex to male.
Make a baby from them.
Turn your male back into a female.

NOW go play the game.

Unfortunately, there's no way to do it after the sims are in game.

If you are looking for a gay marriage, check out http://www.mygaysimlife.com. It's the first gay virtual avatar world.

It just launched a couple days ago but I hear they will be allowing gay simulated marriage.

The best site about cooking I've ever seen !

There can be gay Marrige in the Sims when you frist create a Family I had two Males live together and said they where spose's. That worked for me.

Does anyone know if the private schools don't let in the children of lesbian couples? I keep on inviting the Headmaster over but he always leaves before he get in the door and he says that we are not hte kind of family that should be in private school. I was wondering if he just didn't like tha house or if it is because my couple is gay?????

well as a joke in the game of sims my cuzin had a gay couple in so i guess they do let gay marriage in the game. I also think that if they didnt they should have gay marriage becuz there is nothing rong with it thats al i have 2 say

how do you divorce sims?

sims 2 shold not have gay marrearges!!!!

*sigh* If they're going to have gay marriages, then so be it. If someone wants to use their money on a game that has been PRE-PROGRAMMED and the complain, well I pity them for their surplus of stupidity. Gays, bisexuals, lesbians asexuals and straight people are a part of life, get over it. Anyways why in heck do you care? If its what you believe, they're going to he **, not you.

Last; you say there should be no gay, lesbian or bi interaction when there is already a feature that lets you have virtual sex? God... the weight of the individual stupidity of a large percent of our population holds the whole human race back.

I could say more, but I'm not sure it would be appropriate for this place.

I have been playing the sims 2 for about 6 hours, my female character has a female best friend and I cannot even flirt with her. She is sleeping with 4 men and I think she is a nympho, but I cannot even flirt with a female. I don't think that there are gay and lesbian relationships in the game at all and I'm thoroughly disappointed.

What I'd like to know is what makes them think it is okay for a woman or man to sleep with about as many people as they want to, but not okay for same sex relationships...

Liz, I played Don Lothario and he had a homosexual relationship (beside hetero ones.) It was possible to kiss, to flirt and to have an "techtelmechtel" (german for love affair.) So - homosexuality is implemented - but i keep trying to check how someone can establish relationships...

how the hell do u divorce sims? i need to no!!

Sims are origionally bisextual--if you use the boolprop testincheatsenabled true cheat code and shift+click on a person you can display their gender pref, which for all sims is at first "none" (i'm talking sims 2, of course)
But as soon as they've flirted with, or gotten a crush on, someone, that person's gender is the sim's gender preference, until you have them do the same with the other gender.

Jessie: divorcing sims is impossible on the origional, but on the sims 2 you just need to drive down the relationship enough. The easiest way to do that is to have one of the sims cheat on the other.

You can have a baby by ANYONE in the household using a hack called the Inseminator I have two lesbian couples they both have a couple kids and one is elder now and their kids heading to college tomorrow :0)

IF you have Sims 2 University you can use the EP version of this hack and even have a baby by the Grim Reaper :0)

I have a Sim who has twins by him You can see the album here
http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/view?p=12&uid=3350186&gid=6872473&

if you however have Not added University you can use the 1.5 DEST or 1.6 DEST versions and have single baby twins with anyone on the lot even a casual visitor :0) or alien babies either twins or single
Works GREAT
Can be found here all versions Just look through the pages OR do a search on that site
http://www.modthesims2.com/forumdisplay.php?f=56

BUT if adding hacks and intending to get EP PLEASE put them in a subfolder inside the Downloads folder so you can cut them to desktop while you install new EP's
Also makes them easy to find when I am testing a new hack I place it in a TEST folder till I know then after it works ok I place in the Hacks folder
You can NOT however put ANY skins hair clothes makeup genetics in sub folders it will NOT show up in game if you do
Objects walls floors and hacks all can be put in sub folders

Hope this helps

Yes Sims of same sex can be married
Anyone can as long as the relationship skills are brought high enough they will get option to engage and get married I had a Lovely couple get married who have a Lovely little baby Unfortunately the first was due to an abduction so she is alien :0) That dang telescope LOL and the one the was preggers was so pitiful roaming the hood pregnant that my one Sims got to know him got close and the day he came and visited and game birth well they decided to go ahead and get engaged and married the wedding was a Blast too I had some wonderful, pics but the hard drive crash took them They had another child together afterwards using the Inseminator and he was adorable

I just got SIMS 2 UNIVERSITY and I can confirm that they do have "gay" "bisexual" couples in the game. I wanted to see what would happen if i "kissed" one of the guys "hoping they would fight" instead they ++ and started to fall inlove. I then went and got another guy to kiss one of the gay guys and guess what? THE OTHER GUY GOT MAD! AND SLAPPED HIM! so gay couples are in Sims 2 and it's funny as hell!!!!!!!!!

Yea gays can still mary

to answer the question of divorce...if you don't want to go through all of that other stuff, just put one of the spouses in a pool and take out the ladders....it's the old school way ;)

you gotta be kiddin me that is taking it way outta porportion screw buyingthe new 1 that is offending!!

"Sims are origionally bisextual" Sims are not originally bisexual, Sims are asexual in fact. They will have a desire to "get in love", but it will never point out what gender they like.

Point is, your Sims in not interested in Girl/Boy Sims, until you make your Sims having close *romantic* social interactions with another Sim.

This is where the line lies between a good male friend for a male and a gay lover, the first you drink with, chat with, have fun with, and in times of need, you can share a bed with him, but you won't kiss him, or worse, that's stuff to do with the second.

So there's no point in saying Sims are this or that, Sims are just falling in love with who they're told to.

The sims 2 has gay marriage, believe it or not. I made an old lady, and a young lady fall in love and get married. It is possible

yo, n e 1 no n e good cheats 4 the sims, 1 or 2??? (2 preferred) thanx!!!!!!

I want to know how to make a Sim who's married be divorced. I tried making the Sim cheat on each other three times but they are still married. What else can you do?

Danyetta,

The cheating spouse needs to be caught in order to have the divorce option available. Otherwise the sim that gets cheated on has no clue. Divorce also becomes an option if the two sims argue alot (this is easy for the mean sims, but nice sims won't argue for no reason with their loved ones)

there are also hacks that allow easier breakups. Try searching modthesims2.com under game hacks

I was on ea.com and I saw a picture of a pregnant teen. I didn't think this was possible on the sims, but she had acne and only teens get it. Also there was a pic of teens woohooing. Anyone know what's up with that?

Maralyn: I dunno. Anyone here? do you people know how that happens? It would really help with one of my plotlines if I could get a teen pregnant.

what was the pregnant teen wearing, dress, t-shirt, jumper or what.
because i know someone who might of done that

yo they better not have gay marrige, fuck the gays, they dont desrve shit

I think there shouldn't be gay marriages allowed on the sims 2 or even gay relations. That's just sick!

Gay people are so groose! why can't they just be normal! LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!!!!!

J BRIZZO, YOU DONT NEED TO CURSE! WATCH YOUR MOUTH!!

How do get a teen pregnant?????????

I think the sims should allow teen pregnacy because it's apart of life. Maxis should make like a Family Expansion for the sims2 and like have dramatic things happen to them.

FOR DANYETTA

WHAT YOU DO IS MAKE ONE OF YOUR SIMS FLIRT OR KISS ANOTHER SIM INFRONT OF YOUR OTHER SIM AND DO THAT TWICE THEN THEY WON"T CARE ANYMORE AND YOU MAKE THE ANGRY SIM CLICK ON THE OTHER SIM AND CHOSE
"BREAK UP"

I have many gay sims MWAH
HA HA the girls are so discusted! HA HAA i'm so mean!

How do you get pregnat in collage?????? please tell me!!!!!!!!!!!

I have read all of the post and none of them help me with my prolbem PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When I want a teen to become pregnant in my game, I do this. First off, if your getting a teen pregnant, the other person has to be an adult. So, if the teen is a girl, the male has to be an adult. I put in the cheat boolProp testingCheatEnabled true and then spawn the L and D creator. I get the male pregnant by the teen (it's a little funny, but I always speed it up so I don't have to watch a pregnant dude, heh) The family tree always comes out right, so it works.

Also, for twins, if you eat lots of spaghetti, you'll get them.

Yes, Sim of the same sex can get married..or rather...joined. They can also adopt and raise a child. I say we should give EA a pat on the back for not caring what all those conservitive religious right people say.

Also, Nancy, I should let you know three things:

1. You should learn how to spell

2. You should also learn correct grammar and spelling.

3. Gays can't be 'normal' because no person on earth it 'normal'. Everyone is different, and I personally like it that way. The world would be very boring if everyone did/said/thought/looked the same way, now wouldn't it?

I have noticed a progressive imaturity level on this topic. This is what happenes when you let kids on the internet without supervision.

Do you know the cheat for marriage for the sims 2

How do u get the Life and Death ???

Nancy, if you don't like gay people, don't create any. Simple as that.

L and D, put the boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true cheat in, hold shift and click on the person, then go to spawn and Rodneys L and D creator

I think gay people are WRONG the y are just WRONG and Sick!!! THat is if they are human,but if they are sims and you think it is gross just don't do it!!!!!

THanks Whittnie

Sorry for asking so many questions, but how do you make sims with green skin please update me in less than 24 hours!!!!

Thanks

does anyone know if you can get a tennager pregnant in the sims 2

Okay umnum. It's been a while since I've been on this site . . . wow. The same questions are being asked about Sims 2 cheats that were months ago. If you people want me to I'll copy and paste my usual explanation of the boolprop cheatcode and the tombstone of life and death. Also the teen pregnancy, despite what I said last March, has me intrigued because I have a plotline going on where I need to get a teen pregnant. But I can't do wn lo ad stuff. Anyone have a cheat or something that they can 100% guarente will work?

You can all feel free to email me at stella_wisha@yahoo.com if you need help on the sims. I should point out though that I dont, and wont, have access to my sims for another 2 and a half months or maybe 3. Sorry. But I've done a lot of experimenting and would be glad to give advice and help in any way I can.

What's Nightlife like? can anyone tell me if you can like . .. get married to and control the vampires? What do they do? I'm so sad I preordered it and my friend's keeping it for me at my house in the US but I'm in England right now and I can't play it AT ALL :'(
So tell me about it but dont spoil it too much plz.

Sims w/ green skin . . . interesting. My advice is that you make a sim whose appearence you like with custom eyes you like and have HIM (has to be a guy) fall in love w/ one of the alien ladies from strangetown they will have a baby together w/ the custom eye color instead of black and it'll have green skin. You can age it to whatever age you want it to be using the boolprop. Otherwise you have a lot of work on your hands, getting a good looking alien baby or getting the create a family mode to let you make one that way it's only worked for me 2x.

Happy simming!

This concludes my insanely long comment :D

to get your sim pregnate
1. YOu type in boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true
2. Hold shift and then left click on your sim
3. click on spawn and tombstons of l and d
4. click on that The tomb. and click more until you see get ailen pregnat. Hope this helps

Also I am very sorry for the people who are in Rita's path if you are don't think you are the only scared and suffering.

Okay so I got this cheat for getting teens pregnant:

S2L_TEEN_WOOHOO_PREG_TEEN

could someone tell me if it works i cant test it out cos I dont have the sims 2 on this computer

Thanks!

I'm also going to, just really quickly, state my oppinion on the gay marriage thing.
Not being gay myself, I don't really understand how some people are, because it goes completely against any logic in nature because gay people can't reproduce with eachother. it takes a man and a woman to do that. But whatever. I think it's okay that there's gay marriage in the sims 2 because none of the premade families are gay, which is good because it means that Maxis and EA are not ACTIVELY promoting gay marriage, but they do allow it, which lets them rake in the mula. considering that the sims 2 cost more than fifty million dollars to make that's fine w/ me.
If you use the boolprop cheat code it's perfectly possible for gay couples to have a child. Even guys can get pregnant if you use the tombstone of L and D. Alternatively, you can have them adopt which is truer to life.
Or you can do what I do and not have any gay sims at all. Whatever works for you is fine w/ me and if you have problems w/ your gay sims I'll help even if I don't support it. I'm not anti-gay, even though I dont understand how some people could be gay, just like I dont fail in school while some people do, or I don't get up at 6 in the morning even though my mom loves to.
Whatever. If someone could look up that cheat code PLEASE in my previous comment and report back i'd be really happy

It is ok you can also spawn the l and d tomb. and click on get ailen pregnat

boolprop testingcheatsenabled true

shift click on a sim of ANY age and select display autonomous sexual preference. This will show what sexual preference your sim has without any direction from you. It can either be male, female or both male and female. Since this can be viewed at any age before they become old enough to flirt etc, it shows they are programmed to follow a sexual preference if left unguided.

Actually, Demi, the preference is always "none" until YOU have them flirt or whatever with someone else. Then the sim's preference will be whatever that first sim's gender was. I've never come across it changing or anything or being a specific gender before that first flirt

I just figured a bunch of really really cool things out! Like how gay people can have woohoo, and how you can control you relationships with people and your sims moods!!

With that boolprop testingcheatsenabled true code and it's simple to do.

All you have to do is enter the code in while your in the neighborhood then go into your sims house. Then when your playing as your sim you can control their mood and relations by moving the bar under the word. EX: Like they have an Energy bar. You just click the bar and you can move it back and forth. Same with relationships.
Next the other thing is making gay couples have kids together. You can do this by holding down shift and clicking on a sim. Then a bunch of choices will come up. Click the one that says Spawn, and another selection will come up. Then click Tombstone L And D. A tombstone will appear. Click on the tombstone with the sim you want to get pregnant and a lot of choices will come up. Go to more. Then a lot of other choices will come up, and there will be one that says Get Pregnant With... and then click on it and names of people will come up. Click the name of the person you want and presto!!!! Your sim is pregnant whether boy or girl. Also once you do get pregnant if you go back there instead of it saying Get Pregnant With... it will say Speed Up Pregnancy. And your baby should arrive in 1-3 hours.

Try it!!

can u get twins if so someoe tell me the cheat plzzzz

can u get twins if so someoe tell me the cheat plzzzz

yes you can get twins naturally and you can use this cheat: intprop chanceoftwins 100 which works about 50% of the time. twins are cute but i personally find the game more fun if i just let them have whatever kids they will, but enjoy thyself

Hey listen I live in Australia so the sims 2 isn't out yet but I would love to know how to get two men/women to have a kid in the sims unleashed. I already know you can get two gays married but how do you make them have a kid? Please tell me!

In the sims I have tow guys called Maria and Margret and they where playing in the love bed together.

It's disgusting in a way yet also funny.

P.S The two guys I have, well their relationship meter went over 100 I didn't think that was possible.
Plus how do two gay's have kids???
I need to know fast!

haha sims 1 dredging up ancient history are we? no sorry. Gay people can't have kids in the sims 1, but they can adopt, and their adopted kid looks like their real kid so it works out.
Here's what you do: You make a room that's pretty small with an easy to access phone. You get your little heart bed and have them play in it. Keep doing that. Make sure to stop them slapping eachother. Eventually you'll get a phone call, the adoption agency says "would you like to adopt a baby" and you click yes. then you get a baby just like you do for the hetero couples and you can name it and everything It's so much like them having a baby that I just forget there's any difference. Sims 2 hasn't come out yet in Australia? that's so sad it's been out for over a year here. . . .

Please help! The Headmaster will come over, but as soon as he gets out of the car, he says something about this family "not being fit" and leaves! What am I doing? Please email me at: Samanthalee25@yahoo.com

Thanks!!

Here are some easy cheats that I use every day in the sims 2.
1. Motherlode [$50,000]
2.Type in boolProp testingCheatsEnabled true at the nieghborhood then you go to creat a family hold shift and press N. With this cheat you can get ailen, white, and zombie skin.
3. To get a person pregnate in collage type in boolprop testingCheatsEnabled true hold shift and then left click and the sim you are playing. Click on Spawn and then tombatone of L and D. Click on the tombstone and then click on get ailen pregnate. WARNING: In collage when they are pregnate they are naked.
4.To speed up there pregnaticy click on the tombstone of life and Death and it should say speed up my pregnateicy and click on that.
5.To see you babie's needs type in moveObjects on and click on the baby picture in the cornner then click on the baby until there is a green box around him/her. when you go into live mode you will see the babie's needs.

how do you get the tombstone of life and Death on the sims 2? please help

To get the Tombstone of Life and Death you first start out in your neiborhood and enter the code, boolprop testingcheatsenabled true, then you go into which ever house you want. Then when your playing a sim, hold down the shift button and click the sim you have with the mouse. Afterwards a lot of choices with come up, and one of them is "Spawn". Click it. Then there will be a choice that says "Tombstone L and D". And the tombstone will appear.

I click the sim while holding down shift but only the normal options come up

Do you have to be in collage for this to work?

Whittnie, to get the teenagers pregnant, do you have to do it with a male in your family? I click on the tombstone with my female teenager, but I don't have the choice of Get Pregnant With, I want her to have a baby with a neighbor, but I can't control him.

Stella, S2L_TEEN_WOOHO_PREG_TEEN doesn't work. Or am I doing it wrong?

Do you have to do S2L_TEEN_WOOHOO_PREG_TEEN at a certain time?

Robyn, try doing boolprop testingcheatsenabled true when your playing your family, then hold down shift, and left click on your sim. Then click spawn, and go to "Tombstone of L and D"

I really wish I could get my teenager pregnant!!!!!!!

perhaps teenagers are unable to get pregnant

teens can get pregnant ive seen stories on ea.com where they did but i dontknow how. make sure the house is clean and the grades of everyone in house are up to A+ before the Head comes over ;)

I will look at ea.com, and email people and try to figure out. I will let you know!

The only way I know how to get a teen pregnant is to get a special pack for the game that lets you do things like that. I tried getting mine pregnant my making it an adult female then switching back to a teen but it didn't work. The baby just disappeared.

How do you age an adult to a teen?

Hiya evry1 thanx 4 all the info n the cheats!!!!! I have also tried the twinsr2cute cheat n so far it hasnt worked n iv been really disapointed :( I just thought id let u all know just incase you didnt already tht u can find out more cheats by bring up the cheat box and typing in Help then it shows you some ok cheats later guys

Sure thing, Bethan_c. It's good to know that some people are reading previous comments instead of asking the same questions over and over. twinsr2cute I think is just a cheat that someone made up; I dont think it works, as it never has for me. But whatever.

I don't think there is a cheat for having twins. I'm making a family, there last name is Crazy, and they have 6 kids!

this is how u get twins u type this in before u try for a baby intprop chanceoftwins 100 this really works i tried it last night and got twin boys i guarentee u tis will work.

Just go to www.modthesims2.com,I've got the triplets and quads pack it works great, just before the message comes up saying that there's a new baby on the way it asks you would you like to choose how many babies you like or would you like it to be random.

If you really want a pregnant teen get the InTeenimater package from www.modthesims2.com.It allows teens to do all the same things adults can.

And if you can't get boolprop testingCheatsEnabled true to work, then get the InSIMenator package.I hope this will help.

Thanks, Robyn, that helps bigtime, and will do in two months when i can go home. sniff i'm so homesick. Anyhoo.

SweetiePie:
S2L_TEEN_WOOHO_PREG_TEEN is just a cheat I found, I don't know if it works, I posted it on here to see if anyone else did. See, I'm in England right now, and my computer's in America, that is, the one with the Sims on it, so I can't play until December :( so I can't test any cheats I get. Sorry for any misunderstandings. Stella

Oh, hey, guys? This is a totally random question. But does anyone know how to set up a website that people can do chat-ma-bobbits like this on? I'm no good at html so if anyone could give me a hand I'd be much abliged. Thanks a billion. Just click on my name and give me an email with "WaterCoolerGames" as the subject so I don't delete it, thank you guys so much you're the best.

Does anyone know if you go to www.modthesims.com, if it will mess up your computer. My step-dad works with computers and stuff and I don't know if I should do it or not.

My step-dad won't let me do stuff if it is taking a risk. I meant to say if you mod the sims, if it will do anything

Kellison, I tried intprop chanceoftwins 100 but it didn't work, I did it right before I tried for a baby, but it didn't work, do you put the spaces in it or what?

SweetiePie: In dow nloading things there's always a risk. if your step-dad's really strict about it, i'd say its not worth it. regarding the twins cheatcode: if your going to use it, put it in right before she goes into labor. save as soon as she starts to scream, let her have whatever babies she's going to. if it's not what you want, go to neighborhood w/o saving and go back in again and put in the cheat. still it doesnt always work, but you'll have a bigger chance of getting what you want.

heyhey, has anyone tried out the cheats from above? do they work or not?

hallo does anyone no how to dwnload (sucessfully) the package files? only SIMS2PACK files work on my comp, is summat wrong?

I need help!!! I got a new computer, but on my old computer and my brother had an ea.com name, so I didn't have to worry about it. So, I got a new one, and I got a new name. You have to Product Register your game (type in the # on the back of the CD case) but it won't let me Product Register 'cause someone had used that # before, it was my brother on his name. But my brother doesn't remember his name! If someone doesn't have a ea name already, will they give me that #? Please??!! I need help!

Thank you all soooo much for the teen pregnancy cheat! I'd searched for that for so long..!THANKS!

SweetiePie: i'm so sorry, but we're not supposed to give other people our game numbers, because it would kinda count the same as copying the game w/o paying for it, which is illegal. I know how you feel, but in this world where people can lie about stuff like this so easily, none of us can help. im sure you can get it for much cheaper now, if nothing else. I'm so, so, so sorry.
Stella

But your brother would've written it down somewhere, right? or maybe . . . did you actually GET RID of the old computer yet? cos if not just reinstall it for long enough to get the name off it. OR EA offers the service if you forgot your password they'll email it to you, but only if you have an email set up w/ them, and only if you remember ur username. or if you forgot your username, type in the email address and they'll email you your username. If NOT, have your brother look through all his old mail until he gets to something EA sent him. That'll have the username in it. If he didnt have his email in their network, cant help you, and once again, I'm sorry. That's the best I can come up w/.

hugs, and sympathies.
Stella

That's OK. I kinda thought that. I tried having ea send my brother his user name, but it was a long time ago that he got his user name, and he has a different email now. Ya, I think we got rid of the old computer. My brother is soooooo messy, he would never find anything. Thanks for trying!

Does anyone know if you buy clothes for a toddler, is there anyway to plan his/her oufit so he/she changes into his/her clothes? I'm so sick of those toddler outfits!

SweetiePie: regarding the toddler's outfits: unfortunatly (and this drives me inSANE) you can't plan outfit. if you want the toddler to wear something different, you have to buy the clothes before the baby becomes one. irritating, isn't it?

Ok guys to get a teen pregnate all you have to do is get the tombstome of L and D. Then click on tthe tombstone and click on more until you see a choice that says get my sim pregnate and click on that. You will have to wait a sim day until you finally get pregnate.

Addie: That doesn't work on teens, only on young adults and adults. sorry

here's a fun cheat code for those of you who don't know it yet: boolprop snapobjectstogrid false
type it in the cheat code bar and go into buy mode and pick up some furniture or whatever and try moving it around. it's great for the obsessive-compulsive people like me who want everthing to be centered in an even-squared room ;)))
Have fun w/ it!

i'm trying to have twins but it seems its not going to work any ideas

super no http://nosandbox.dynxs.org/7 no free http://nosandbox.dynxs.org/3 and .... free no http://nosandbox.dynxs.org/6 yes yes http://nosandbox.dynxs.org/4 no html http://nosandbox.dynxs.org/3 .Thanks.

Argh! did the boolprop testingcheatsenabled true cheat and fiddled around with it for ages and then I went to "go back to neighbourhood" but all the buttons were shaded. I couldn't save, go back to neughbourhood or even quit! I had to do Ctrl Alt Del. I lost everything I'd done *sob*.

Why did this happen? How can I avoid it?

AAH!!! What happened to my comment? I was responding to your comment, Cottie, and it went away. sniff. Come baaaaaaack. :'( oh well . . .

hey, dui lawyer, go away, no adds! yeesh. maya

same wit u, 'no' thats sooo stupid why cant u people go somewhere else? tanky, maya

does ne1 have ne cheats 4 bustin out? for ps2?

Same sex in SIMS2? Sure there is. Just last week I created 2 tall, dark,rocking, blonde hair, aqua eyed twin females. In my mind during thier birth, I figured they were to be my StrangeLand sluts LMAO...but just as I was creating their family connection, I noticed I could marry them. So I went for it!!! They are happy as lil clams together, except Milahs still sort of sluty with the neighbors.
There was an incident recently of aqua eyed jealousy. LOL They have no problem jumping in bed together. It seems they cant "try for a baby" as most hetro sims2 folks can. I actually wanted them to have a hoard of babies, so now im looking to the Aliens to take care of that. LOL. Happy SIMing All

Or, ScorpioMuse, you could look to the adoption center or the boolprop cheat code, but of course that's up to you. But remember, girls can't get alien pregnant unless you use the boolprop cheatcode and the tombstone of l and d, because the aliens only seem to like guys . . .
Have fun!
Stella
ps although *cough* i never have gay couples, i'm a tolerant simmer, and if you want them its your business, so long as they don't wind up on my computer.

Ok I have myself in a mixed up situation and I need help.

This is what I did. I had a maried couple on Sims 2. I installed Sims Nighlife and I created a new sim female. I ran into the male sim while I was out and I started dating him. I ended up asking him to move in because that was the only purposal I had to pick from. Now he still has on his wedding ring and he lives with me and I still can't marry him. I was wondering is there anyway I can get him divorce from the other sim from Sims 2 so I can marry him?

Jessica: If you moved the guy in, you can control him. Savvy so far (i love 'savvy') have him invite over his wife. Have her move in, then flirt w/ some guy while he's there. Do it again. He'll get jealous, relationship goes down, hit break up. Wife walks away and he's free for marriage. Don't do it the other way around or HE'LL walk away, and that wouldn't be good.
That help? Stella

I found out why my computer went all funny... I did the boolprop cheat then every time I clicked on "die by flies" was when it went wrong. So now I just don't click on it anymore.

Ooh I was having fun playing around with the tombstone of L and D btw, and I moved the maid Kaylyn into the house and put her with the husband. She had a baby girl. Then I made her pregnant again and realised she could have a baby with her daughter (which I made her do coz I'm weird like that) so I now have some veerryy complicated family trees. - I guess this is how you can make teens have babies - they can't get pregant but another woman can have a baby with them no matter what sex they are.

cool...

that's sooo weird Cottie. lol. I've done stuff like that before, though. Basis: I made a little girl who looked like Charlie's description, in Fire Starter, by Stephen King. She grew up to be absolutely beautiful, and I wanted her genes, undilluted, so I had her have a baby with herself. Boy. I wanted a girl, so I had her have a baby with her son, girl. Girl's name is Stacie, and she looks just like her daddy, who looks just like her mommy and her grammy. soooo wierd. She's really pretty, and I'm going to put one just like her on ea.com when I get back to the USA.

how do u have twins DEFFENTLY in the sims2

hytr: there is no way to have twins for sure. There is, as above stated near-countless times, a cheat code: intprop chanceoftwins 100 which improves your chances for having twins. twinsr2cute may or may not work; I'm no longer passing judgement on that one. Or you can have the first baby normally, use the t of l and d to get the woman pregnant immediatly afterwards and speed up her pregnancy.

Can someone pleaseplease answer: why does everyone want twins sooo badly????

How can you keep your children sims from getting fat? They obviously can't work out.. I thought my sims' daughter was plenty active, but her belly suddenly plumped up. What can I do to get her back into shape?

hu cares if u can get gay couples big whoop!

sonnet?: kids can work out using a stereo. Dollymixture: that's an old debate that's not really going on anymore as far as i can tell. people are just using this site to discuss cheatcodes etc on the sims

Twins are nothing special, Ive had four sets in the last two months without using any cheats - prob coz I play practically 24/7. It's just another kid... Of course you have to hire about four nannies to keep care of them because two is obvously much harder than one lol.

you know what's really funny? I get bored playing with some of the families so I often leave them on a really long hiatus while I play with others, and I often have it so that a guy is younger than his great great great great grandchildren, it's rather weird... and a little of topic I guess... apologies...

Cottie: I agree. just another kid, and sometime quite irritating to take care of at that.
layten: so strange. One time I did that, accidentally, where I had a family with a mom named Kira. She had a baby girl named Lori, and when Lori grew up, moved out, and got married, she aspired to have 10 kids so I spend all my time getting her the kids, then realized she was about to grow into an elder and her mom still had like 15 days left cos she kept taking the elixer of life. This was before I knew any cheatcodes, and I didn't want to wait around for Kira to get old and die, so I just killed her. o_0

I hate it when my sims get old, I get so attatched to some of them that I just can't stand to see them become oldies. It makes me feel upset, so I often just send them into a swimming pool and let them drown. sigh, it's a good way to go.

I got so close to one sim once that I actually cried when I sent her out to the pool, I wanted her young and beautiful again but here she was old and useless and everyone hated her. Death was a mercy for her in the end.

when you create a sim, they are automatically heterosexual. you have to make them become attracted to members of the same sex.

Hey guys how do you get you teen sims runaway???

I did that, Addie, was messing around with the 'Pleasant' family and got them all nto a bad mood with one another. Arguments, fights and Llian (the teen) just walked out. I'm not sure what she is doing now as I haven't seen her since.

Addie: teen sims run away when they have really low relationships w/ everyone in the house.

Cottie: I totally agree. I hate it when sims die in the sims 2, and I had this couple . . . the guy was so hot, with really strong cheekbones and dark eyes, and the mom looked just like me only dressed up completely punk, but their kids turned out badly. I killed them both young so they'd be really cool forever, and their ghosts came out every night. The girl, Giovanne, was the last one in seven generations of girls who looked like me. Her kids all had brown eyes, so it had to stop there. Waa

yah. the cheat for gettin twinz is:
