Programmes
- Graphics Rules Maker – a must have if you’re bored of manually changing every graphics rules doc in your game by hand.
- Sims2Pack Clean Installer – Everyone has it, but it’s worth a mention.
- SimPE – can you imagine life without it?
- FRAPS – a must-have for decent screen capping.
Programmes DJS Sims
- The Wardrobe Wrangler – cannot say enough nice things about this, but to give just one single reason why this is the best download on the web: one-step colour binning for hair. Now, don’t you want it? If not, how about the ability to “Townify” your clothing at the click of a button? Awesome programme!
- The Compressorizer – went from 6GB to 2.3GB of downloads with this nifty little programme – error free, too.
- Sims 2 Collection Maker – so easy, so useful.
- Sims 2 WTF (Walls, Terrains & Floors) Editor – Best function? Renaming all of those “6244785625286224585d5fa22d2d.package” to things like “Pink Carpet by Sarah” at the click of a button.
Hacks (not for my legacy, but in general)
- The InSiminator
- Simslice (at the booty, since it’s a paysite)
- Simlogical
More to come as I remember where I’ve downloaded from…
