Safe gameplay

After years of playing TS2 the way EA intended it to be played, I've recently learned that there are several issues which may lead to neighbourhoood and game corruption even if you don't mess around.
So...
This is a list of things you may screw up without really noticing you're doing something wrong.

My Sims experiences

I remember playing to Sim City. I mean the original one, the classic game.
I owned a floppy disk version.
Floppy disks make me feel old, you know, because nowadays they look ancient... and it actually was just a few years ago. ("Few" is a subjective concept, yes.)

I loved that game. It was great in every single aspect.
Times changed, games changed, and I tried many other simulation and strategy games which may be technologically much better, but in my heart Sim City is just the best ever.

Fast forward, and there I am buying The Sims.
It was a second hand game, because I usually don't like spending much in games. The expansions I bought were second hand ones as well.
It was nice, but I thought I was more the "building" kind of person than the "people" kind of person when it comes to simulation games.

The Sims 2 (TS2 for shorter) changed that.
I am still the kind of person who loves building and management simulation games, but this game is very very addictive!



I've been playing for years now (on and off, sometimes I don't play at all for months, and then I spend hours playing in a row) and I ended up having a nice collection with all the Expansion Packs (EP) and most of the Stuff Packs (SP).
All of them bought second hand, yes.

But only very recently I realized the posibilities this game offers regarding custom content. And they are so many!

Joining this community named Mod the Sims really opened my eyes.
I've been learning a lot, and I try to keep track with all the new info I read, but sometimes it's not easy.
That's why I decided to create this blog: so I can give all my new ideas some kind of shape and order, and hope that they lead to some kind of creativity explosion :D
