Now that The Sims 2 is kinda-sorta playable again on modern machines, you might expect it to be perfect right out of the digital box; its rich simulation of the modern day-to-day (circa 2004, anyway) is among the best you can find. But let’s just lay it out there: these sims are a bunch of sexless dweebs.
I didn’t deck my sims out in clothes from the H&M Fashion Stuff pack so they could laze around on their home lot, needing me to poke and prod them to do anything but pee every five minutes and put their dirty plates on the floor. I want sims whose hearts are ablaze with the fires of romance, getting lost in crushes and jealous daydreams as eagerly as they get lost in their own swimming pools. As always, mods come to the rescue. Perhaps, in the case of Twojeffs’ Autonomous Casual Romance mod, a little too excitedly.
