If you are a downloadaholic, like myself, then you’ll jump head over heels and squeal for delight for Delphy’s latest and greatest Sims 2 tool: Delphy’s Download Organiser.

You can organize your downloaded custom content to your heart’s content. AND the greatest feature? The DDO has orphan scanning! That means you can easily detect what recolours you have that have no mesh. Try it out! I’ll guarantee it’ll save you some hairs.

Edit by Delphy: I fixed the name to the “correct” one, with an s not a z.

If you wish you can now help beta test The Inteenimater - but be warned as this is a beta test the current version is, as it stands, completely untested. It’s advised you back up your game before playing around with this. You do need to register on the forum to participate in the beta testing.

Please make sure you read The Rules of the Beta and don’t just jump in and throw the hack in your game - you could cause severe problems in doing so.

A few important notes from the beta rules:

# You should be computer literate and understand basic operation of your computer and its file system. If your computer experience amounts to, “Just click the little desktop icon,” this beta is not for you.
# You must be prepared to remove all custom content from your game except the InTeenimater when asked.
# You must be willing to offer up your sims and neighborhoods as burnt offerings to the cause. While I do not anticipate this would ever be the case, your game data files may be irreparably junked during the beta process and you should be comfortable with scrubbing your game and starting over.
# You must be fluent with the functionality of the InTeenimater. This means you must actually have Read The Frackin’ Manual. The purpose of this beta is to expose and repair bugs. Moreover, this is not a general support forum - and you will receive none here. Moderators have been given instructions to kill any post which is not directly related to the beta testing of the Pets Edition. No exceptions.
# You should be a competent user of The Sims 2 and possess a solid understanding of the game and have the ability to install and remove custom content. You should be familiar with the cheat/debug console (especially the boolProp cheats). You should understand how to trap a jump bug, acquire log files, and attach them to your posts (see the forum FAQ for instructions on how to do this).

The long-awaited update of SimPE for pets is now here! Please note that while previous versions required only .NET framework 1.1, this one requires you to upgrade to .NET 2.0 - without this, SimPE will not function for you. You can download .NET 2.0 here and install it prior to getting SimPE installed.

Quaxi has stated that this release isn’t a full release, but something of a pre-release in order to get a copy out to those that have been patiently waiting. You should expect bugs and if you encounter them, make sure you report them on the SimPE site so they can work on fixing them. It is advisable that you keep a backup of all game files and downloads.

Get your copy now and start having fun!

Many thanks to Quaxi and the QA team!

The eagerly awaited update of The InSIMenator is now complete! You can pick up your copy now in the language of your choice!

Get your copy now!. Many thanks to Numenor for updating it to work with the Pets items.

For those of you who have no idea why you would want this, read on!

What is the CEP? What’s its purpose?

The CEP enables colour options for many objects that Maxis shipped in only one colour (e.g. the potty chair, the exercise machines, the photo boot); the CEP also enables colour options for a second part of the object, when Maxis offered only one recolourable part (e.g. the books of the bookcases, the ampli for the guitar, the marble base and the exterior of the coffin). Once installed the CEP, you’ll be able to create additional recolours for those objects, and use recolours created by other users.
THE CEP HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CLOTHINGS, SKINS, HAIR,
ACCESSORIES AND SUCH. IT AFFECTS ONLY *MAXIS OBJECTS*

Ever been annoyed that your cutaway wall setting cuts away too much? Have a hard time bringing walls up for pictures and then finding a good shot without getting stuck outside the house? Well fear no more - the wonderful Numenor brings us a brand new “No-CutAway” wall. This is a custom wall (and it won’t overwrite any of the maxis walls) that enables you to have walls of your choice stay up even while you have the cut-away view enabled. Just place it instead of the normal walls in areas you don’t want the walls to be cut!

Ever wished you could type in Simlish or just create realistic posters for your game? Well, now you can! Thanks to SIMale of MTS2, you can now download your very own Simlish Font. Surprise your friends, confuse your enemies and impress your mom - all with this great new font!

Max3D has added an offline version of his Random character generator program (found here) that will come in very handy. It’s in beta currently and you need to install the .NET 2.0 framework to use it. It’s currently in italian (pending translation) but it’s pretty obvious what is what.

For those who don’t want a local install of this you can still click the ‘RCC’ button on the menu to use the online version

Numenor has done another marvelous update of the CEP (Colour Enable Package) and it now boasts an optional install of the “Radiance Lighting Mod” by GunMod. Get your CEP update here!

Dog eat your manual? Can’t find the case for your game? Well if you’re one of the many people who have somehow misplaced a serial number, fear no more! OtherworldBob has told us in this thread on MTS2 all about his amazing new program. The Sims 2 Serial Key Printer will check your registry for you and dig out your serial numbers for the game, displaying them all in an easy to read screen. You can currently get the program in the MTS2 thread linked above. He’ll also have it on his website, where newer versions will be updated first.
