THE SIMS 2 UNIVERSITY GLITCHES

PC | Submitted by SimGamer

Potty Training Glitch

When your toddler needs to be potty trained, put them on the potty chair and when your grown up sim starts to look all bored, cancel the interaction. The progress point on top of your toddle will start to go really fast up, finishing in about 2 or 3 seconds. Then, there! You now have a potty trained toddler. WARNING: This only works on University.

His words have also appeared in OPM, OXM, PC Gamer, GamesMaster, and SFX. He is better known to many as ‘Mr Trophy’, due to his slightly unhealthy obsession with amassing intangible PlayStation silverware, and he now has over 1,000 Platinum pots weighing down the shelves of his virtual award cabinet.
