You can find the original Reddit wiki for r/sims2help right here. Most if not all of the info provided below is from the Reddit wiki. We tried to keep all their links intact so a lot of links will link back to reddit's guides. They should be denoted as "Reddit Thread," "Reddit Post," "Reddit Link" "Reddit Image" etc. I don't want to remove their links since they did all the hard work and deserve the credit.
