A couple of days I picked up The Sims 2 again. I got bored mid 2006 playing the same routine again and again. Start with a fresh just grown adult, move to his own lot, work his butt off for a decent home while looking for a love interest meanwhile keeping up with family and friends. Once love interest is found marry and get kids, raise them till adult hood, play a little more with Sim then load up the newly adult and start from the top.

Once I got Open for Business I expected the game to hold my intrest but it didn’t for more than a few shops. Each shop either quickly reached their peak or required so much effort to get going my Sim’s lifespan was half-over before it was running smoothly. As animal lover I was a bit excited about Pets until I learned it was basically dogs and cats and they didn’t really add to the game other then spreading a sim day even thinner between needs & wants, work and relationship building so I skipped that pack.

Now Seasons grabs my intrest enough to pick up the game from where a left off and try some other tactics. I made the oldest girl of 3 siblings who just reached adult hood an Artist. She turned her artistic gift into cash by selling her paintings to the neighborhood Sims. I think I’m giving the other 2 girls an Artistic career as well when they grow up. One might play piano for a living while the other can open up a flower shop.
All that time Modthesims2 hasn’t been updated with anything Aladdin other than a recolored dog that has to pass for Rajah.

I made 2 sets of wallpapers for personal use. The first set has a Jasmine picture, a screenshot of Aladdin and a plain wallpaper with border. The second set is made up of 2 wallpapers, one plain with border and one of Jasmine in her garden.
