The Sims 2 Presents: Foster's Valley! - Page 18 - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

I hate posting back-to-back. Anyway, I'll be making yet another attempt to get the game running again in the next day or so; in the meantime, I dug up some old pics that I thought y'all might find borderline amusing.

Cheese goes to Wal-Mart:

You can almost hear him saying, "I like wax". Not much I can add to that. It wasn't a very exciting trip; he went in, bought groceries and a new outfit, had a cup of coffee, and went home. Not everything in the game is high adventure, although I'll give him credit, his house has more graphics glitches than any other in the Valley, except for Foster's.

The incredible sinking dog:

It happens everytime I install a new Expansion Pack or a new game patch. Every pet in the game sinks into the floor. I have no idea why this happens, but it's harmless; I unpause the game, they pop right out. This pic was taken in the third floor rec room, which didn't get too much use until I put the bubble blower in there. Coco now spends a lot of free time in this room.

The incredible shrinking Madam:

Nope, it's not a glitch, it's the same trick I use to make Wilt taller, only in reverse. Way in reverse. Watching her walk while shrunk like this was very weird. After she managed to climb into a chair I stretched her back to her normal size and this was the result:

It's either another glitch or maybe Bendy added helium to the chili. Dishes, too, have been known to float upon occasion:

I can imagine Eduardo saying "I no am seeing this, I no am seeing this" to himself as he cleaned up the lunch dishes. If he saw this on the show he'd scream, "Aaaaagh! The dishes! They is haunted!" and dive out the nearest window.

Bendy in the park:

The puddle is not of his own making, but that didn't stop him. When he started splashing around in it, it covered one square; now it covers seven. It was at nine or ten when he finally got bored with it and wandered off.

Last, but not least, a pic of my anime girl, Florah Gustafsen:

Prior to leaving home for college, Florah had taken up the practice of yoga. Being something of an exhibitionist, she had no qualms about getting into weird yoga postions out in the yard where the neighbors could see her. Shown here on the right is her father Bjorn, who has just returned from work with a promotion and a raise and is now having a WTF? moment.

That's all for now. More to come soon, hopefully.

Haha, love the Madame F. caps, and the mention of Bendy putting helium in the chili. LOL!! Aren't glitches fun? When they're not making our life miserable, that is. Hope you're able to get the game up and running again soon!

antgirl1 · 08-26-2007, 07:31 PM

LOL Short Madame Foster. XDD

I'm scared at just imagining how tall Wilt is now...XD

BTW, what is this trick that you used? Like, is there a code or something?

lucyrocks73 · 08-27-2007, 09:24 AM

I LOVE the Madame Foster pic. Sounds like something I'd have to do for my self Sim...

Sparky · 08-27-2007, 04:57 PM

It's supposed to be better to alter Sim heights directly in SimPE. I haven't messed with heights yet but I plan to eventually.

Cassini90125 · 08-27-2007, 05:18 PM

I've never tried it with SimPE, partially out of fear of disfiguring them. The cheat code works well enough; I have to redo it everytime I enter the lot but the effects are immediate, and I can fiddle with it until I get a decent result. Hopefully there will be a "Set height and weight" feature in both CAS and Body Shop when Sims 3 is released.

Sparky · 08-27-2007, 06:14 PM

Yes, that would be awesome! I'm tired of everyone being the same height and weight type.

antgirl1 · 08-27-2007, 06:51 PM

Thanks Mysterious Girl - now I can make myself taller! XD

Sims 2 players: If you have the Bon Voyage Expansion Pack installed on your computer, you need to read this immediately; the game has a very serious glitch:

I'm actually thankful that my game isn't working; I've had no reason to install the expansion.

Shame on you, EA Games.
