Hi! I'm Tanic Sims 2 but you can call me Tanny and the Corruption Chronicles are (re-)Open For Business! Join me as we seek the answer to a question as old as time: just how corrupt are the Sims 2 premade neighbourhoods anyway?
In this corruption extravaganza, we will not only discuss any corruption or glitch concerns in Bluewater Village (the shopping district subhood introduced with the third EP Open For Business), but also dive deep into improper sim deletion and attempt to demystify corruption.
This video would not have been possible without April Black (https://www.youtube.com/@aprilblacksims). Thank you SO MUCH, April, for your hard work and willingness to help on the relational data section ♡
