Hack Management

Not hacks or hacked objects, but programs and utilities to help you manage your hacks.

  • Hack Conflict Detecting Program: Paladin at SimWardrobe
  • Hack Detector: Clean Installer (As Clean Installer has not been updated since approx. Oct. 2005, it will not detect all hacks, but can help).
  • Hack and Duplicate Scanner: DJS Sims (This program will no longer be updated or supported)

Aging and Time

Hacks and hacked objects relating to the aging of sims, life stages, and time on the lot.

  • 12/24 Hour "Military Time" Fix: Pilot76103 at MTS2
  • Add/Subtract Aging Days: BlackSwan at MTS2, the InSIMenator
  • Aging Controller/Individual Aging: Heirloom Cake by Inge at SimLogical
  • Aging Off: the InSIMenator, Cheat
  • Better Alarm Clock: Christianlov at MTS2
  • Day of the Week - Select: the InSIMenator
  • Days-Left Shrub (Useful for predicting the death of elders): Inge Jones at SimLogical
  • Grow Up/Grow up Baby: the InSIMenator
  • Hour of the Day - Select: the InSIMenator, Cheat
  • Individual Aging: Monique at MTS2
  • Life Stage - Select: the InSIMenator, Cheat
  • Lot Sync Timer : JM Pescado at MATY (tracks time on different lots and allows you to jump directly to them without going to the neighborhood - the closest thing currently possible to allow time to pass equally on all lots)
  • No Aging Past Adult/Elder: Bobcatben at MTS2, or Bobcatben at InSIM
  • "Real-Time" Clock: Merola at MTS2, or Merola's Sims 2
  • Tardis (adjust day/time of day/speed of game): DragonSire at MTS2
  • Time Correct When Returning Home From Community Lot: The fact that one can leave home at noon, stay on a community lot for hours, return home, and it's still noon has vexed players since the game was released. However, there's a VERY GOOD REASON it's set up like this... If Joe goes to a community lot and leaves his wife Carol at home on the lot, and Joe's gone for four days (as is often possible especially with community sleep hacks), what does Carol do while he's gone? What if Carol's pregnant? What if Carol's almost an elder? What if she's about to get a promotion? What if they have kids - do they grow up while he's gone? One can use the InSIMenator to change the day of the week, and OfB includes a cheat to change the hour of the day, so you can simulate a return home at the correct time with that, but actually making it the "correct" time when you return home from a community lot is extremely unlikely/impossible as a hack.

Building, Buying, and Lots

Hacks and hacked objects for build mode, buy mode, lots, and construction.

  • Apartments: There is no known "apartment" mod. However, one can simulate an apartment by using a set of the doors listed below (under Doors) to restrict sims from other sims' apartments.
  • Authorized Personnel Only Security System (Restrict sims from areas): JM Pescado at MATY
  • Buy Clothes from Home: DJS Sims ($$$), the InSIMenator
  • Buy Clothes/Groceries From Home: Monique at ModtheSims2
  • Buy Clothes/Change Clothes/Change NPC & Townie Clothes at Home: christianlov at MTS2
  • Buy Clothes/Electronics/Perfume/Magazines from Home: DJS Sims
  • Buy Clothes - Gender Preference Clothing Racks (each rack displays clothes from one gender): Squinge at InSIM
  • Buy Clothes - Tardis: DragonSire at MTS2
  • Buyable Snapdragon/Make Invisible: Monique at MTS2
  • Build/Buy/Access Inventory when Visiting Community Lots: cathair2005 at MTS2
  • Build/Buy Mode Enabler for Pets: cathair2005 at MTS2
  • Build More Levels/Floors: Cheat/Trick
  • Build Walls Right Up To Lot Edge: Not hackable - only Maxis could make this possible.
  • Collection - Buyable Aspiration and Career Rewards: TwoJeffs at MATY
  • Collection - Buyable Career Rewards: Millipedeman at MTS2
  • Collection - Buyable Cars at Community Lots: morten8035 at MTS2
  • Collection - Community Items for Residential Lots: loba at MTS2
  • Change Lot Sizes After Building: Not possible with hack/cheat, but is doable, with the LotExpander. Make sure you back up your stuff FIRST!
  • Contents of Lot Stay When Moving Out: Stay-Things Shrub by Inge at SimLogical
  • Doors - Clothes Change (Everyday/Formal), Family-Only, Pay, Bathroom, and Student-Only: Inge at SimLogical
  • Doors - Security, Employees Only Pre-OfB, Restrict Sims from Certain Areas: Inge at SimLogical
  • Doors - Keyholder, Clothing, Gender, Visitors, Family, Sim Limit Per Room: tunaisafish at MTS2
  • Glass Elevators: (OfB) macarossi at MTS2. Pre-OfB or for a different look, you can simulate the look of glass elevators (make a convincing-looking fake one) using Numenor's Wall Windows, Targa's Ascension Stairs, and some suitable walls/floors/a door.
  • Larger/Smaller Lot Sizes: Mary Lou Sims (smaller and different lot sizes - lots larger than the largest Maxis lot are not currently possible and probably not a good idea anyway)
  • Murano Mobilia's (teko @ MTS2 and reflexsims) others - MILLENIUM transparent mirror-reflective material shader and floor covers (free, no registration)
  • Mirrored Floors: BitzyBus at TSR
  • Open for Business Mailbox Fix (Not needed with Maxis patch): Windkeeper at MTS2
  • Pond Water Color Change (8 to choose from): Targa at MTS2
  • Reflective/Shiny Floors: Reflex Sims ($$$ site, floors free in forums, registration required)
  • Residential-to-Community and Community-to-Residential Objects: Extracted Maxis Objects and Collections. Recommended is the Iconed Residential-to-Community collection by Loverat at MTS2
  • Stackable Open for Business Stages: Not possible with a hack, doable with build cheats and tricks (though very limited in usefulness). See tutorial here.
  • Wall Limit Removed: Hard coded by Maxis - Not possible as a hack. However, you can use Numenor's Unlevel Walls, in addition to your normal walls, to circumvent it.

Vices, Violence, and Weapons

Yeah, it's depraved. You know you want 'em.

Visiting

Tricks and hacks that allow sims to go for visits, and relate to visiting sims.

To Visit Residential Lots:

  1. Load the residential lot you would like your sims to visit.
  2. Call the sims you would like to visit on the phone and invite them over.
  3. Use testingcheatsenabled to make the resident sims unselectable, and make the visiting sims selectable (make sure to leave at least one sim selectable the whole time while you do this!!!).
  4. Conduct your visit as you like.
  5. When you're done, make the resident sims selectable again, deselect the visiting sims, save, and exit. Easy to do, and works just fine.

To Visit Community Lots with Toddlers:

  1. You must have Open for Business or any later expansions.
  2. CTRL-SHIFT-C to bring up the cheat console and enter "ageSimsCheat on"
  3. In live mode, click on the toddler. You'll find there's a new pie menu entry. Age them up to child.
  4. Take your family to the community lot as usual.
  5. When you get to the community lot, use the cheat again to age them back down to toddler.
  6. Conduct your visit to the community lot.
  7. Before you leave, use the cheat again to age them back up to child.
  8. Return home.
  9. Use the cheat one last time to age them back down to toddler.

Weather and Seasons

Now the EP5 Seasons is available, the weather and season are fully functional.

But if you haven't got this EP, many modders have created items that both unlock the (rather buggy) Maxis coding for rain and storms, as well as created whole new hacks to enable weather and seasons.

Non-EP5 Seasons: Weather Mods
