I don’t really understand how can you make Sims 2 movies when…?

Question by Miss Vampy: I don’t really understand how can you make Sims 2 movies when…?
…it is unbelievably impossible to control your Sims.Yeah, that’s right.I am facing problems controling my Sims.I’ve tried making a story on my own, but it seems bloody difficult, much more than I expected it to be.I cannot control two Sims at one time.I only control my selected Sim.
For example, I want two of my Sims to sit in a direct place.But one of those two(especially the one I don’t control at that time)stands up and does whatever she/he wants, untill I give him/her a new order.
It really gets on my nerves!!!When I see so many wonderful Sims 2 videos being uploaded to youtube, so perfectly done, I wonder why the hell I can’t do the same.
To all those who are experts making Sims 2 movies:what should I do in order to make a perfect story,controling my Sims emotions and needs(avoiding having my Sims get hungy or sleepy if I don’t want them to, for example).

Thank you a lot
Miss Vampy

first of all, switch off free will in the game options. this prevents them from doing their own thing. secondly, use the MaxMotives cheat to keep their motives full so they wont need food or sleep etc.

Note: the MaxMotives cheat only works with later expansion packs of the sims 2 installed, not just the base game.

ctrl + shift + C to bring up the cheat window. type in MaxMotives (as typed) into the box and hey presto 🙂
