How Do You Edit Sims After Making Sims 2?
After creating your Sims 2 family, you might wonder if there’s a way to edit them later. Editing Sims can be a breeze if you know the right tricks. In this article, we’ll show you how to edit Sims 2 after making them.
Editing Sims Basics
Before we dive into the tutorials, it’s essential to understand the basics of Sims editing. You need to have the "The Sims 2" game installed on your computer. Next, you’ll need to launch the game and make sure you’re playing on "Create-a-Sim" mode. From here, you can select any sim and start editing their characteristics, appearance, and abilities.
Clicking the Sim Blender Again
When you want to edit a Sim, the first thing you need to do is click on the "Sim Blender" icon located on the top-left corner of the screen. You might have to navigate a little to find it. When you click on the blender, a pop-up menu will appear. Look for the "Appearance…" button and click on it. A new window will pop up, allowing you to change your Sim’s look and features.
Accessing the "Makeover" Window
Inside the "Appearance…" window, click on the "Makeover…" button. A menu will appear, showcasing the different options to customize your Sim’s appearance, like facial features, hairstyles, and clothing. If you want to change any specific aspect of your Sim, just click on the icon next to the section, and you’ll get further options.
Toggling the "Edit Appearance" Window
At times, you might have some difficulty accessing the "Edit Appearance" window, and that’s okay! Toggling this feature requires some extra effort, so let’s cover the solution:
- Activate Cheats: Bold and Important Open your Sim’s cheat console (hit Ctrl + Shift + C on PC) and enter the command "testingcheats on."
- Toggled View: Highlight the screen and click Shift: Hit the Shift key, navigate to your Sim and toggle the "Edit Appearance" window by clicking.
Remember to save your edited sim and exit the mode carefully, as unsaved progress will be lost upon the game’s automatic shutdown!
Editing Family Relations: Why Can’t You Modify Family Ties?
Some users reported not being able to modify Sims within a family setting after building relationships. In essence, editing family relations would tamper with your simulation as you’ve grown alongside. However, by exploring hidden settings, there exists some way to create such adaptations!
Saving Progress:
- Keep edited Sims in Library Folder – In the C://Program Files/TheSims2/ Saveds Folder, create a custom Folder with your name.
Next, save any family tie or relationship within those Custom Saveds! *Now you can have separate customized saved files!
As soon as you enter Game Mod mode, access files without needing to rebuild these bonds, and maintain unique saved files with various characteristics.
When not inside Mod mode, revert files for normal Gameplay scenarios within standard saved settings or Custom ones.
Please see some links below the sections "Saving Progress" area Game Mod settings > Tutorial, for specific ways this might be managed on Game Mod Tutorial #s1.
When can I edit a new relationship?
Only available inside "Game Mod
- Age-ups/Childbirth within New Save Files and only works on Non-game Modes
Edit or View the Sims? Make More?

These changes work even *Non-Mod" Gameplay; however, custom modifications must be performed without breaking Game balance within its main settings, using appropriate tutorials.
You see when your Sims2 edited & then saved Custom within separate Saveds File, for that specific scenario when played outside Game mod these same modifications will continue (game settings) normal playback no problem.

Lastly let’s discuss when having family relations, they not show on the save games even when you play & your saved files.
But on some occasions (after saved changes), those are indeed reflected in Sims themselves inside save files too
