I bought both games yesterday and startet playing the sims 2. It´s so buggi. My sim can´t cook, the food will desporn. Gardening is broken, i can´t sell or pick up grops. Light is broken, People I am friends with will not show up on the phonelist but in the friendslist, so i can´t even call them over. Game was already repared.
Also my Sim got abducted by an Alien (he is a male) and should be pregnant now, but he does not seem to be, and I cat make him get abductet again (even with the look for Ufo Interaktion and Best Teleskope)
Any suggestions, mods that can fix it? :´( <3
