[@autism_and_niamh]

LOL at Cassandra still being attracted to Don as a toad 😂😂 Thank you so much for this series; I always find so many mods to improve my game!!

[@BellaDovah]

@@autism_and_niamh 😂 you’re welcome, I’m so glad!🥰

[@lumaelodie]

my downloads folder filled to the brim with mods but im still gonna tune in… thank you for the showcase

[@lauroonil2962]

I love how Jacky93 had the ATS2 shop toy help with creativity skill, as in real life play-based learning helps young children to better their creativity and problem solving skills.

[@BellaDovah]

@@lauroonil2962 that’s great! Yeah I like that interpretation, I guess I just see problem solving closer to the sims 2 logic skill instead!

[@kyupiangel90]

​@@BellaDovah I mean that would make sense if the toy made logic a necessary part of the process, for example, if you made it a science kit with a booklet full of info of chemistry and stuff, But in this case, creativy makes more sense, since you have to *create* the situations you will play pretend right from the start, and how you will react according to what happens during the game(example: you dropped the fruit → option1: apologize and gift more fruit to the customer | opt2: drop the rest and pretend you actually have personal beef with the customer, so you start telling him your 2 cents) That kind of creative play requires imagination, a creative skill, not logic, an objetive and almost numerical skill Maybe i'm just biased, because, as an artist myself, it was always easier for me to play pretend and create new situations for my toys, than to solve logical games(i suck at math, low logic skill😂) like puzzles or "deductive" games, which do require logic and no creativity.

i'm just cleaning out & declutter my cc folder... and now i see this video... **download new mods**

[@talorsiknoy5292]

Siknoy336 here! I will be adding simlish recolors to the diapers as well as making it cuter!! It was kind of just a test mod I didn’t quite it to get as many likes ❤

[@BellaDovah]

@@talorsiknoy5292 that’s so exciting! Thank you! I can’t wait to see what else you make, you clearly have a talent for it if that’s your first mod because its excellent! Thank you for making it, sharing it and watching this🥰

[@TeaAddict]

So many awesome mods!! I LOVE the deadly supernaturals, and the babies need nappies mod!! Definitely needs a re-mesh, if you do that, tag me. Otherwise Ill look into it as soon as I can. The chaos with the Goths was so funny btw 😅 and Don almost burning to death in his tanning beds 🤣🤣 priceless

[@BellaDovah]

@@TeaAddict glad you found some you liked! You can probably beat me to the re-mesh but I’ll try get to it one day😂

[@talorsiknoy5292]

Siknoy here! I will be updating it! This was kind of a test of it. I’m so happy that people are liking it! I’ve been lazy but this has been motivating so definitely stay tuned!!❤❤❤

[@88kayleigh]

I could have sworn I saw someone retexture this with Simlish right after it came out but maybe I’m misremembering!

[@natalielovesthesims]

I appreciate this series so much! i feel like i'm always up to date with the newest mods that come out, but your videos always show me some i've missed :)

[@BellaDovah]

@@natalielovesthesims I’m so glad to hear that, it really makes my day🥰

[@nathalieblindeman7931]

It would be cool if a child could gain experience in restocking by playing with the fruit stand

[@BellaDovah]

@@nathalieblindeman7931 thats a good idea! :)

[@Seamphony]

32:32 DID MORTIMER JUST SAY "MEH GO ON" AS HIS DAUGHTER IS HAVING A MENTAL BREAKDOWN I CAN´T-

[@dreamisimzzz]

I love your videos Belladova :)

[@BellaDovah]

@@dreamisimzzz aw thank you🥰

[@graublauYT]

Thanks for another wonderful video

[@BellaDovah]

@@graublauYT aw you’re welcome 🥰

[@mariek3460]

I’m new to your channel, so I’m not sure if you’ve done anything like this before, but I’d be super interested in a video about mods that you find essential for your personal game/gameplay :)

[@BellaDovah]

@@mariek3460 welcome! Its lovely to hear you’d be interested in that :) I do intend to do that eventually! I’m slowly working on rebuilding my downloads folder so once I’m done or have more progress I’ll be able to pick them out and share!

[@sillysoz]

Amazing thank you, I didn't see those 3t2 trait mods and love them :D

[@BellaDovah]

@@sillysoz you’re welcome! Glad I could help you to discover them🥰

[@sillysoz]

@@BellaDovah and the deadly evil witch spells would be perfect for Olive Specter 👀

[@BellaDovah]

yes great idea😍

[@cometa_maria]

36:18 ok, for me this is canonical now

[@MakzPlayground]

Thank you for this!

[@BellaDovah]

@@MakzPlayground you’re welcome!🥰

[@leonervisferrer3083]

Thank you very much!

[@BellaDovah]

@@leonervisferrer3083 you’re welcome!🥰

[@la912]

Awesome!

[@dmckim3174]

Two things: 1. Don had it coming, he should consider himself extremely lucky that it wasn’t permanent 😂 2. I adore the videos of the new mods. It’s so helpful to see them in action.

[@BellaDovah]

@@dmckim3174 haha😂 I’m really glad, thank you🥰

[@apriltini]

I've been using an earlier version of Nopke's Altered Genetics mod and have had no problems with it. I wanted it so I could have a greater chance for redheads in Pleasantview. I've set it up so that all hair colors have an equal chance at being inherited. I did the same thing with eye colors.

[@calvinengland]

Hey, may you make a mod that makes the styling chair build the arts & crafts hobby? i don't feel it fits nature! Thanks you :D

[@BellaDovah]

@@calvinengland It really builds nature enthusiasm?! I didn’t know that… if it does I will definitely add that to my to-do list, though can’t promise it will be made soon

[@calvinengland]

@ it does yeah, it seems so odd :/ I also I kind of think a mod that makes darts & pool build sports instead of games would be cool! If you know of any tutorials on how to do this I could give it a go perhaps!

[@88kayleigh]

I have a salon business in my hood, I’ve never seen my Sims get any kind of hobby enthusiasm from it at all? I think it giving nature enthusiasm must be modded.

[@BellaDovah]

@@88kayleigh I thought so! Still, making it gain Arts & Crafts enthusiasm instead of nothing still may be a good idea

[@BellaDovah]

@calvinengland yeah those are cool ideas too, there is actually a great tutorial: crispsandkerosene.tumblr.com/post/174388668002/learn-how-to-change-which-hobbys-enthusiasm all I'd be doing is following that so I do encourage you to give it a go! Good luck

[@user-ty3sk3jp5g]

I heard sims 2 is getting a re release, I hope these mods can be applied. I used to love sims 2 a lot

[@cdphillip3914]

Is it too dark to want the toy shop to gain the open for business cash register badges? Little bit child labour coded 😅

[@BellaDovah]

@@cdphillip3914 haha no its not I quite like that idea too! Someone else suggested it should gain the restocking badge which is also a good idea so I’m torn!

[@latbat58]

thanks for thr timestamps

[@lortonlestar6941]

I dream of playing sims 2 again but I have no idea how to download it and make it work :(

[@BellaDovah]

@@lortonlestar6941 I have a video tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bpq6namPabN7bK8si=9JQA5XuG0Qv0i81V and written guide: www.belladovah.com/post/how-to-fix-optimize-the-sims-2-on-windows-10-11-performance-stability-and-graphics-enhancements

[@GustavoFernandesKing]

The blogpost could be in the same order as this video, it's hard to follow both at the same time.

[@BellaDovah]

@@GustavoFernandesKing not everyone that reads the blog post watches the video, I wanted to make it accessible and logical for everyone, I figured everyone knows the alphabet so thats why I did it alphabetically, also Ctrl + F is a thing too, but perhaps I’ll consider doing it like that next time

[@floopyboo]

Never have I gone from so incredibly excited to so bitterly disappointed so quickly as the boba station. EVEN if they couldn't be arsed with the animations, the fact that they didn't even bother putting a straw in the drink... As a boba fiend who was looking foward to giving their sims the gift of boba, that's a 0/10 for me.
