All of the new mods I found for The Sims 2 released in October, November and December of 2024! A-Z in categories.
Gameplay Mods:
This Traits Mod by emskisims2 makes it so that only sims with the Great Kisser trait can do the dance kiss and kiss up arm interactions autonomously, but any other sim can no longer do them autonomously though they can still be directed to.
This Traits Mod by emskisims2 makes it so that sims with the Neat trait or 9+ neat personality points can do the hidden interaction of washing windows. In the vanilla game, this was only available to be done autonomously by sims with 7 or more neat personality points. There is a mod to make this interaction unhidden for everyone, so any sim could be directed to do it, but this mod restricts it to only those with a neat personality or trait. Windows do have a dirty state that we can't see, so you may have to wait a while before this interaction becomes available once the windows on a new lot become 'dirty'.
This Traits Mod by emskisims2 makes it so that sims with either the Heavy Sleeper or Light Sleeper trait can do the hidden interaction of snoozing in an armchair or sofa. I am not sure what the vanilla conditions were for this happening autonomously, perhaps it was only for elders, or perhaps only for lazy sims, or perhaps anyone with a low energy motive. There is a mod to make this interaction unhidden for everyone, so any sim could be directed to do it, but this mod restricts it to only those with the Heavy Sleeper or Light Sleeper trait.

Do you like to randomize your sims' primary aspirations? Perhaps you usually roll a die or use a random number generator, but this mod by danbot cuts out that step for you because now the game will randomly assign an aspiration when a sim ages up from a child to a teen and you'll no longer be prompted to choose one or the turn ons & turn offs.
Siknoy336's first mod makes you need a new item, a box of diapers, in order to be able to change a baby or toddler's diaper. You can buy the box of diapers for 100 simoleons from the kids section of the buy catalog, and then to change a diaper on the spot your sim will first walk up to the box, or to change at a changing table your sim will first need to use the box to stock the changing table with 20 diapers. The supply will go down after each use so your sim will have to buy a new one eventually. This is great for immersion and is a great item to sell in OFB owned shops like supermarkets or pharmacies.
This mod by ePSYlord allows you to direct your sims to do the hidden 'browse' interactions on displays such as magazines, video games, clothes, jewelry, souvenirs, and perfume which would previously only be done by inactive visiting sims. This is a great way to keep your sim occupied on a community lot.
This mod by danbot restricts cowplants by making them so that they can only be milked once per week on a specific day of the week, which is set to Fridays. They can only eat sims on the other days that isn't Friday. This makes them less dangerous and the drink sims interaction less available.

This is a set of edited mods by Andreva Sims which enables autonomy on various deadly occult mods such as vampire bite, werewolf ravage, zombie eat, and evil witch thunderbolt. So now these supernatural sims could autonomously kill other sims! Scary!
This mod by Meduza adds a new spell for evil witches with at least 3 magic skill points which allows them to turn other sims into frogs/toads. This curse lasts 12 sim hours and essentially makes the sims wear a custom frog outfit which they cannot take off, even in the shower, so they will always look like a frog no matter what they are doing or wearing. The spell is called 'Rana Mutatio' keeping in line with the pseudo-Latin naming convention, and requires reagents - one bottle of Viper Essence and one jar of Eye of Newt. The higher the magic skill, the higher the chance of successfully casting the spell, and if the sim fails there is a 50% chance of cursing themselves instead of their target. The spell will cause the relationship between the caster and the victim to suffer, and the cursed Sim will also be furious with the caster for 26 hours. There is also an optional file to add a new spell for good witches to cure the curse rather than waiting 12 hours for it to wear off. With the spell 'Rana Demutatio' good witches with at least 4 points of magic skill can remove the curse - Purgomagus spell doesn’t work for the Rana Mutatio curse. To cast this cure spell, one piece of Crystallized Moonbeams and one flask of Essence of Light are needed. Just like in the case of the curse the higher the magic skill, the higher the chance of successfully casting the spell.
This mod by Freezer Bunny enables the fireworks, confetti poppers, noisemakers and sparklers from the Holiday Pack on community lots.
This mod by Pick N Mix adds a new interaction to gravestones so that you can make them be urns even when placed outside. It also allows urns to be placed on shelves.

This is a pack of mods by Nopke which change genetic values (and in some cases townification or visibility) of Maxis hair colors, eye colors, and skin tones. You can pick and choose from a huge variety of files to effectively build your own genetics system that works for you.
This is an official release of a mod by Nopke I've had in my game for a few years. It simply makes the want to go to college get satisfied and therefore the aspiration points get rewarded right before a sim ages up from a teenager to a young adult rather than just after. The main use case for this is Nopke's Growing Up Wants Panel mod as this makes it more likely that your sim will earn a new want slot or lock on this age transition as their aspiration meter should be high enough after fulfilling this want. This mod was posted in the comment section of the Growing Up Wants Panel mod when I suggested the idea. Note that if you use the Teen Graduation Yearbook mod, then you should use the compatibility files of both Growing Up Wants Panel and "Go To College" Want Satisfied Before Growing Up from there instead.
This is mod by ePSYlord prevents sims from automatically being added to your sims' relationship panel and contacts when they meet. It technically prevents the known flag from being set. Sims can still gain relationship with each other, but they won't technically know each other and therefore cannot contact each other unless you manually set that they have met via a method such as the Sim Blender. This is helpful if you want total control of who your sim knows and can be contacted by. There is another version of this mod that also prevents other flags being able to be set such as friends and lovers etc no matter how much they interact.
This is mod by ePSYlord prevents sims from getting the 'won a fight' and 'lost a fight' memories after they get into a fight. The reason for this is that these memories can clutter the panel if fights are frequently happening.

This is mod by EpiSims prevents pet bowls from rotating after a pet eats from them or a sim cleans them. They will always stay in the orientation you placed them in. This is helpful for square bowls or custom shaped bowls that may even clip through the wall or become inaccessible if they are rotated. So now they will always look the way you intended and always remain accessible.
This is a set of mods by Gummi which add new interactions to the Pool Tables, Poker Table, and Mahjong Table so that you can toggle the autonomy off and on. It can be annoying how attracted sims are to these items so you can toggle the autonomy off when you don't want them to use them, but you can toggle it back on for when you do such as when there is a party. You no longer have to choose between letting your sims autonomously use them whenever they want or downloading a mod to disable the autonomy always and entirely.
Don't you hate how Mr. Humble shows up to every newly moved in household and gives them a free computer worth 1,350 simoleons they probably don't even need especially if you use hacked computers? This mod by guirnaldas makes it much more rare for him to show up and do this based on several options of fantastic criteria. You can make it luck based, so there is a very small chance each day that he might come to give the gift. You can make it happen only when a household owns a game collection (at least 7 videogames) and something on which they can play them. You could make it only when a family member has maximized the gaming hobby. Or, you could instead make it only when a family member has reached the top of the gaming career. Or now, thanks to my request, you can make it happen based on any of these challenging criteria with or without luck too.

This is a set of mods by equinoxts2 you can pick and choose from. You can disable bill delivery and/or paper delivery. You can prevent sims from reading the newspaper on the toilet. You can replace the finger-twirl animations, done when a sim sees someone talking to the Social Bunny or Therapist, going into aspiration failure, or just dancing badly, with the “why me?” looking up animation. The text “You’re Crazy!” displayed when hovering over the queue icon has been changed to “Oh wow…”. You can make it so that sims will wear their underwear in saunas rather than a towel. You can rename the 3t2 trait 'Over Emotional' to 'Highly Emotional'. And lastly, you can download an edit of TwoJeffs' Same Sex Marriage Mod to include the Unmarried Elder Fear. Previously, an Elder could be married to someone of the same sex but still get the 'Be an Unmarried Elder' fear as it did not properly recognize they were already married in this context so this fixes that and prevents them getting that fear if they are already in a same-sex marriage.
This is mod by Meduza was kindly taken off my wishlist of mods which adds a new interaction to a broken catnip toy, to replace it. This means that rather than having to have your sim clean it up, then you need to go into buy mode to place down a replacement, the sim can do it themselves in one smooth immersive interaction. They will pick up the old one, buy and place down a new one, then dispose of the old one. Thank you Meduza! I love it!
This is mod by DeeDee prevents sims from getting wants to interact with pets that aren't currently present on the lot, so now they can only get wants to interact with a pet that is on the same lot as them.

New Functional Objects:
This is a conversion from The Sims 4 by Simstralia which are the Alien Pets from Get To Work and they are interactive similar to the Ant Farm and Fish Tank.
This is a conversion from The Sims 4 by Jacky93Sims which are Training Bots that function like punching bags. They will level the body skill very fast, build sports enthusiasm and I assume gain body fitness too.
This is a new item from Jacky93Sims which sims can use as a kiosk to buy custom drinks from such as bubble teas and iced coffees.
This is 4t2 conversion by EpiSims and TvickieSims which adds a new crafting station your sims can use to craft unique candles. Using the item will build creativity skill and the higher the sims' creativity skill, the more types of candles they can craft. The crafted candles are a light source but they have to be manually lit and extinguished by your sims and will melt over time until they can no longer give out any light and will need to be disposed. The Sacred Candle becomes available to craft at creativity level 6 and isn’t part of the Sims 4 candle crafting station, but it is converted from Paranormal and has a special ability; every now and then it’ll boost the comfort of nearby sims. Crafted candles are sellable on OFB businesses, when crafted on business lots they go to the business owner’s inventory. You can direct your sim to craft a single candle or to make many at once. At the start of crafting, you get to choose the recolor and rename the selected candle.

This is a new toy from Jacky93Sims that works like a dollhouse, but it looks like a car park and the children will hold toy cars while playing with it and will build mechanical skill.
This is a new small set of OSMPs (One More Slot Please) by PForest which can be placed on water surfaces like ponds, pools and the sea. One of the two is animated so the item will look like its really floating around!
This is a new toy from Jacky93Sims that works like a dollhouse, but it looks like a fruits & vegetables stand and the children will hold toy fruits & vegetables while playing with it and will build creativity skill.
This is a new item from Jacky93Sims that works like an aquarium, but they do not need to be fed. Sims can watch them as they bob up and down and clean their tank when they get dirty.
This is an OSMP (One More Slot Please) by EpiSims & TvickieSims which specifically to be used by cats only. You can place it anywhere and cats can jump onto it and sit or sleep there, even if they have been trained to stay off furniture.
This is an edit of LindaSims' Solarium by Zena Dew Drop, she also shared the original for free here. But, this version is much more realistic as sims can use it to get a tan, but if they already have a tan and use it, a fire will start! Sims will also gain a small amount of fitness enthusiasm gain after getting a tan, but it’s much lower than exercise equipment. The mesh has been edited so that it is lower poly than Linda's original but it still looks great.

Graphics, Default Replacements, UI & Fixes:
This mod by CharlieSiedjan fixes the puka shell coral necklace for female teenagers and the rose quartz center beads necklace for female children so that they now correctly show in-game. It also makes a previously unused Jade Ring available in-game.
This mod by CharlieSiedjan makes the change appearance dialogue box show 3 columns instead of just 2 in the hair and jewelry selection tabs. This is done by moving the outfit selection to be horizontal at the top of the window rather than vertically down the side, allowing room for a 3rd column of icons within the same window width. The 3 column option will work fine with any UI mod, however there are now 4 & 5 column options of this mod that will not look correct with a UI mod and do not have any UI-mod-compatible versions. However, this shouldn't be needed if you use the widescreen option of the Clean UI which expands it to 6 columns instead.
This is a default replacement for freshly drawn walls by CelestialSpritz which makes it look like it has a construction logo all over it.
This mod by Crisps & Kerosene is an extension of their Shader Edit/Default Replacement but can be used without it, and is just for CAS. It improves the look of shiny surfaces within CAS and optionally makes sims brighter.

This is a default replacement and mod by VeganKaktus for fallen autumn leaves. It makes the fall pattern more natural and rounded rather than being as square, and also makes the colours brighter and more vibrant. It additionally adds variety to the fallen leaves by replacing all 4 textures for it and fixing them so they all actually show in game rather than always seeing the same one due to a bug. It even comes with a default replacement for the rake the sims use when raking leaf piles.
This is a replacement for various cutscene camera animation resources by PForest without/with less bloom, grain, vignette and letterbox. This means you can take clearer more gameplay-like screenshots during these cutscenes.
This is a default replacement for the University Pool Table by CelestialSpritz which improves the mapping, improves the felt texture, and comes with several recolors for the wood and felt.
This is a lovely default replacement for mail bills by 2FingersWhisky which are higher quality!
This is a lovely default replacement for the dirt terrain paint by Suratan which makes it higher quality but stays very true to the original Maxis look.
This is a fix for the two decorative rocks that came with Seasons by CharlieSiedjan. These two were lost/broken in Bon Voyage as they were accidentally replaced with identical copies of rocks that came with Bon Voyage. This mod restores the Seasons rocks to what they were originally, so now you can access both these and the Bon Voyage ones.

This mod by Nopke adds a half-served state for a group serving of omelettes. Before, they were only ever full or empty so this adds that missing between state.
This lovely default replacement by PForest improves the look of the sparkler sims use from the box of sparklers party object.
This is is a default replacement of the Stereo Boombox by VeganKaktus which fixes a shadow issue and also improves the look slightly by making the color more black, as well as adding some new recolors.
This is a default replacement by PForest which improves the overlay effect on sims' skin when they get sunburn or sunstroke by making it look much more subtle and natural. The original has harsh lines and is very brightly colored so this makes it look so much nicer. It also has a fix to make these effects be properly applied to teen males.
This is a default replacement for Servos, particularly their eyes by isimchi. It makes them look like a camera lens rather than a human eye which I think is much more fitting. It also supports occult states by slightly changing the color of the lens based on occult, as well as the color of the bow. It also makes the bow black for non-supernatural females rather than pink and also gets rid of the lipstick.
EpiSims made another lovely set of book texture defaults this quarter. But whats even cooler is that they also made a mod which varies the book textures using their new set and 2 others so that each book genre has 3 different textures that sims will randomly choose from!
