Tip about Invaders of all kinds in Sims 2 for the DS



I wrote my guide for Sims 2 for the DS a couple of years ago when the game first was released. Notwithstanding this, the game apparently remains extremely popular as I continue to receive emails about it on an almost daily basis. The game is fun and I would recommend it to any one who enjoys the rather bizarre elements of any Sims universe and particularly to any one who fantasises about becoming the Hotel Manager of an establishment that can be upgraded immensely to include art galleries, a Casino and other odd amenities including an alien dissection chamber and a Ratticator Batman-style hidden den. Mummies walk and aliens invade...

The reason for this post is not to review the game but to make players aware of one of the most common problems in Sims 2 DS and its very simple solution. When players attempt to use their water gun to repel any invaders or to stop Lord Mole from gnawing on the electrical wires, they complain often that it 'doesn't work'. The reason for this is simply that the water pressure is insufficient! Pump up the water pressure and your 'weapon' will operate at full capacity, stopping Lord Mole in his tracks and repelling any number of aliens or thugs...

Another successful strategy in terms of any 'invasion' is to put on your Ratticator suit. As the Ratticator, you can fight the aliens, robots and thugs without having to worry about your own safety. Only the water gun works on Lord Mole though.
