Warnings
The Sims 2 is a 2004 strategic life simulation video game developed by Maxis and published by Electronic Arts. It is the sequel to The Sims. The game has the same concept as its predecessor: players control their Sims in various activities and form relationships in a manner similar to real life.

Set maxResWidth and maxResHeight to your display's native width and height, or copy/paste the following: /bleachbit-for-mac.html.
Field of view (FOV)[edit]
Each of the game's cameras can have their FOV set independently using the fov parameter in their Camera Settings files, which are contained in %USERPROFILE%DocumentsElectronic ArtsThe Sims™ Castaway StoriesCameras
Anti-aliasing (AA)[edit]
- If your 'Edge Smoothing' slider is greyed out in-game, then it's likely that the game cannot determine how much VRAM your GPU has and is defaulting to its failsafe of 32 MB.

Issues fixed[edit]
Poorly Placed Objects/Frozen Objects[edit]
- Periodically, special object may be placed in a bad location, preventing a sim from doing anything. In other cases, a normal object may be improperly tagged as 'in use' and cannot be moved, sold, or manipulated.
- This problem can only be fixed with a mod, as
moveobjects oncheat is disabled for this game.
| Use 'Stuck Object Remover' mod |
