Hi guys! this is a type of video I have never tried before so let me know what you think! Sims 2 modders are always creating incredible free mods, and Fall 2023 has been no exception! Today we are going to spend some time with a family in my test hood and try a bunch of awesome new mods: the planting overhaul, real animated farm animals, functional piggy banks, and a new experimental mod from LazyDuchess! I try my best but in typical me fashion I get distracted or make mistakes and there's some classic sims 2 chaos. I try to troubleshoot any errors I make so that hopefully we can all learn from them! The mods are all linked below and there are time stamps as well!
