Find them under deco > wall hangings in the catalog.
We’ll start with part two, which includes:Īll of these are decorative only – meaning you can’t actually use the thermostat to change the temperature or plug anything into the outlets – but they at least make it look like your Sims have some control over their environment. Next on my list of best custom content for realism is Living Dead Girl’s Wall Clutter Part I and Part II. Now that your Sims have a fancy new heating and cooling system, how will they control the temperature? With a thermostat of course! I use these less frequently than the examples above, but they’re still useful on certain types of lots. There’s a lot more in this set you can play around with, such as air handlers, radiators, a hot water heater, furnace, furnace piping, and a heating oil tank. I like using these for smaller homes or poor Sims who can’t afford an entire central heat/air system: Window air conditioner – inside and outside view. Here’s the wall air conditioner placed in a window of one of my homes. Here’s Dick Caliendo of Fairplay to demonstrate: Dick cools himself at an air conditioning vent after too long in the hot tub. I prefer to use the floor vent because it provides warm and/or cold air – depending on what your Sim needs.Īnd these vents actually work! Sims will warm or cool themselves on the vents if they get too cold or too hot. Make sure to read the description of the wall vents – one is for heat only and one is for cooling only. Next, I add vents to the inside of my homes. If you look closely, you can see another unit on the house in the distance. First, I put a central heat/air system on every one of my homes. Here are some ideas of how to use this content. I also like putting water heaters in basements and utility closets in my Sim’s homes. The rooftop air conditioners are great for businesses and large community lots, but I mostly use the wall air conditioner and central heat/air unit with wall vents on my residential lots. You can find all of these items in miscellaneous appliances (ac units and vents) or miscellaneous plumbing (radiator and hot water heater) in the buy mode catalog. Alternately, you can download it from my Mediavine or Sim File Share accounts. This content used to be hosted on Sim Pearls, but since it’s almost impossible to register there now, I’ve uploaded it to my Mega account (includes all add-ons). One of my favorite creations is the Home Comfort System. Long ago, in the days of yore, there lived a Simmer named Raynuss who created amazing and realistic custom content for the Sims 2. Nick Caliendo loves his new realistic home!ĭo your Sims live in a poorly insulated box with no air circulation, no heat source in the winter, lights that magically turn on and off, and utilities that aren’t metered? Well, they don’t have to! Use custom content to add little touches of realism to your Sims 2 homes.
