Hmmm...
To do:
See, this is why server preservation is important.
This game/console's online features are no longer supported.
While this game/console's online features were once accessible, they are (as of January 14, 2013) no longer officially supported and online-exclusive features may be documented as now-unseen content.

The Sims 2 is, as you may have guessed, the sequel to The Sims. And it still sold massively well.

Debugging Features

Hmmm...
To do:
Get some more images of these features in action.

By pressing Ctrl+⇧ Shift+C to bring up the command console and typing "boolProp testingcheatsenabled true" and pressing ↵ Return will enable several debugging features;

  • By clicking a Sim while holding down ⇧ Shift, a menu pops up with debugging options. These include making Sims grow up instantly (or killing them if they're old), changing their aspiration, and making many Sims either selectable or unselectable. Most objects also have a debugging options, in which they can be reset to their original form or even deleted.
  • Holding ⇧ Shift+N in Create A Family mode will allow the player to access clothing and hairstyles that are normally used, but not for normal sims.

Debug Mode Hotkeys

How to enter Debug mode in The Sims 2:

  1. Navigate to C:\Program Files\EA GAMES\(LATEST EP)\TSData\Res\Config, or the directory where you installed your game.
  2. Open the GlobalProps.xml file in NotePad, EditPad Lite, or your favorite raw text editor. Back up the file first by making a copy of it on your Desktop!
  3. Insert "<AnyBoolean key="testingCheatsEnabled" type="0xcba908e1">true</AnyBoolean>" between the lines with "allowCustomContent" and "animationLOD".
  4. Save the file.
  5. You're done! Please note that testing cheats will be enabled by default every time you start up the game. You can disable it in-game by typing "boolProp testingchestsenabled false" into the cheat console.
  6. The cheat is "off" by default. To turn it on, press Ctrl+⇧ Shift+C, and then type in "allMenus on". To turn it off, type "allMenus off".

List of debug mode hotkeys:

  • Ctrl+O: Brings up "Performance" window used during development that contains toggles for certain performance/graphics options. To apply the settings in the "Performance" window, click "OK" on the left. Window:
  • Ctrl+U: Brings up a window used during development that allows you to manipulate UI elements by moving them around and toggling their visibility. After being moved, UI elements do not remain in place after the game is closed. Window:
  • Ctrl+⇧ Shift+C: Open cheat system input box.
  • Ctrl+⇧ Shift+F: Force crash.
  • Ctrl+⇧ Shift+L: Force reload current lot.
  • Ctrl+⇧ Shift+U: Force reload UI (typically just induces a lag moment).
  • Ctrl+⇧ Shift+S: Shows FPS and (resource) performance counter.
  • Ctrl+⇧ Shift+W: Toggle wireframe objects (but not lot geometry).

Incomplete/Missing Language Localizations

The Sims, while having a large worldwide audience as a whole, is known to be localization-friendly as only text scripts need to be translated into other languages. However, there are various languages that are mentioned in SimPE according to text strings, but did not receive a localization. Among them are:

  • Hindi
  • Arabic
  • Bulgarian
  • Cyrillic
  • Ukrainian
  • Icelandic
  • Romanian
  • Latin
  • Slovak
  • Albanian
  • Turkish
  • Tagalog
  • Vietnamese

This means that the developers considered the possibility of translating the game into these languages, but didn't make any progress due to strings not being translated into those languages. Interestingly, the strings themselves are earlier versions of them in English, suggesting that translation plans were cut midway through the game's development.

One example of such an incomplete localization is the Cyrillic language section. This section was created not to add Cyrillic, but to test Cyrillic letters during the game's development and localization, such as Russian, where it has an official localization for that language.

However, the Cyrillic game font doesn't have Ukrainian alphabet characters, so special fonts and modifications are required for proper text rendering. Some of these characters include:

  • Ґ ґ
  • Є є
  • І і
  • Ї ї


The list of incomplete/missing language localizations was obtained by comparing the list of languages into which the game has been officially translated (the list is pulled from Wikimedia) and the list of language sections in SIMPE program, Package Editor in The Sims 2.[1]


Unused Objects

Hmmm...
To do:
More...

Some of the objects are found in objects.package. They are sorted by OBJD in SimPE.

NOTE: This section lists unused and hidden objects that are programmed in the game, and will NOT cover meshes (covered in another page), nor mod recreations.


Buy Mode

Base Game Cars

Hmmm...
To do:
Further documentation here - https://www.tumblr.com/l-1-z-a/613501606461341696/the-first-results-of-unlocking-cars-from-the-base?_branch_match_id=link-1156705444303996665
  • Get list of all menu items of car.
  • Can the error message be cancelled? What happens if you re-enter the Residental Lot after exiting without saving?

According to some early 2004 prerelease material, vehicles were originally intended for the base game before it would eventually reappear in the Nightlife and FreeTime expansions. They were originally intended as an Aspiration unlock according to SimPE.

Traces of this can be found in the final product, though the function is in an incomplete and buggy state; causing an error message, and among the available menu items there is a Go Downtown[2] item. Performing it would show the loading screen image of the Taxi and takes the player into Buy/Build mode of the Community Lot they visit and can only exit without saving[3]

So, as soon as the player selects the “Go Downtown” option, the car is transferred to the portal, where either the school bus is parked, or where the sim “picked up” a taxi if the option “Go to a Community Lot” was selected in the menu. Sim correctly gets into the car. The return is now also correct: the sim will exit the car with the correct animations, and the game will put the car where its player originally set it. Parking is no longer needed[4].

It remains to figure out why the sim who arrived at the community lot is not displayed, but the Buy Mode is activated.

Car Types

The list of car types that are available in the base game can be found in the objects.package file in this resource:

Name Type Group Instance
Car Types BCON 0x7F8F4EB6 0x00002000 (8192)

Group 0x7F8F4EB6 is JobDataGlobals group.

Here are the contents of this resource:

Line Value Label
0x0 (0) 0x0000 Hatchback
0x1 (1) 0x0001 Minivan
0x2 (2) 0x0002 Sedan

0xF (15) 0x000F Van - Swat
0x10 (16) 0x0010 Van - Delivery
0x11 (17) 0x0011 Ambulance

In this list is a mention of custom car (***Custom Car***). Also, there's a mention of SWAT vehicle (Van - Swat). Both names are unused in the base game. For the downloadable custom cars to work properly, you need the Nightlife expansion pack. SWAT vehicle (Van - Swat) is unavailable in game. Law enforcement career uses a police car for all levels of career before Captain Hero level. At this career level, the sim doesn't use a work car to get to work, but takes off like Superman. This is a last level of this career.

QuixoteGuard protects the unit from rampaging toddlers and confused grandparents. A reward intended to be given out after completing the cut Power Outage scenario in the base game, where it even has a unique animation for spinning. Notoriously, it would not return all the way until the very last release Mansion & Garden Stuff, with a rewritten description and a price of §1,650.

Placeholder Object

The Sims 2 - Placeholder Object.png

This placeholder object exists in the form taken by several debugging objects when they are spawned in-game. Oddly enough, whilst this placeholder object is not obtainable by normal means, it can be seen on the KidzTube station on a Sim's TV.

Unused Television Cinematics

Hmmm...
To do:
I think this was disabled in an update...?

Inside the Movies/Games folder contains five unused videos intended to show before Sims would play video games on a television or computer. They consist of the 2003 EA Games Logo albeit with "Challenge Everything" being blurred (to accommodate with other languages, despite it still being said), and the ESRB rating screens of Rating Pending, Everyone and Teen. There were no video games that carry the Rating Pending rating at the time of the Sims 2's release.

Additionally, blank.movie is a one-second video of a black screen so it won't be covered.

eagames.movie esrb_rp.movie esrb_e.movie esrb_t.movie

Unused Neighborhood Cinematics

Each of the premade neighborhoods included with the basegame plus subsequent expansions open with a realtime cinematic upon loading. These show off various highlights and interesting features in the neighborhood. These cinematics are associated with the name of the neighborhood, so you could swap the names (I.e. "Pleasantview" to "Strangetown") around to view a cinematic in a neighborhood it was not intended for. However doing so can in most cases cause the camera to clip through the terrain. However there are three cinematics tied to otherwise unused neighborhood names hidden in the game's data that can be seen using the method described above. The three neighborhood names with cinematics are as follows:

  • Sedona
  • Lakeview
  • Europa

The following videos show the Lakeview and Europa cinematics on the sample.sc4 terrain, as there are no terrains available in-game that fit them. While Sedona is shown on Sedona.sc4.

Sedona Lakeview Europa

Unused Memory

In Freetime, there is an unused Memory that would have been for the dummied-out Give Me Youth wish interaction from the Genie, even coming with an unused description and icon.

A message appears saying that Don Lothario needs to go to the community lot and buy food, clothes, and entertainment. This message is contained in instruction at number 0x17 (23):

[prim 0x0024] Dialog (Text Notification,

Message field: "Don dresses to impress! Call a taxi to visit a community lot and shop for food, clothes, and entertainment.".

After this message appears, the presence of the maid at the lot is checked:

If the maid is not in the lot, the game, after a few more checks, calls the player to call the maid because the house is messy. This message is contained in instruction at number 0x2 (2):

(Text notification on side of screen - returns unique ID in specified temp. For birthdays, days-Till-Birthday is expected in temp1))

Message field: "This place is a mess! Use the phone to hire a maid.".

Then the script, regardless of the results of the numerous checks and expressions in it loops.

If the Personality/Interest Talk with the maid fails, a message appears saying that Don can call a taxi and go to the community lot to buy magazines, which will open up new topics of conversation for him. This message is contained in instruction at number 0xD (13):

[prim 0x0024] Dialog (Text Notification,

Message field: "Having a hard time making small talk with that special someone? Pick up the phone and visit a Community Lot, where you can buy magazines that open your mind to all new topics of conversation!".

This message is also duplicated in instruction 0x2F (47). Only TNS Style differs: in instruction 0xD (13) its value is "Sim", in instruction 0x2F (47) its value is "System".

Veronaville - General Script

Evidently a script that Veronaville would have followed during gameplay. Unfortunately the BHAV that governs its functions is completely empty, leaving it a mystery as to what exactly it would have done.

The path to this BHAV:

Found In Name Type Group Instance
Objects/objects.package Script - Veronaville - General Script BHAV 0x7F6B4A0E 0x0000100E (4110)

The contents of this BHAV are empty.

Only for Veronaville exist a BHAV with "General Script" in its name.
