You might also want to look at this guide. Hood corruption is a nasty flaw in the code of Sims 2 that can ruin your neighbourhood and there's a number of mods and rules that can prevent it. Basically: never delete sims or tombstones/urns, it messes with Sim's memories and creates junk data. Once corruption takes hold it can lead to stuff like Sims and lots vanishing until, eventually the hood becomes unplayable.
The neighbourhoods that come with the games already come with corruption so you might want to install these clean versions: or create your own hoods.Įnjoy Sims 2, it's a great and very versatile game :-)Ĭorruption can happen very quickly, as long as it takes to click that trash can where the bin sims are.
