I recently found this on a website. This site used to contain a program called Script Station which allowed you to edit the SimAntics scripts.
SimAntics is the language used to program the objects in The Sims. It controled everything about the objects. The animations, sounds, motives (eg. Hunger) how the Sim interacted with the object.
The program Script Station allowed you to edit these, but recently on the website a news post was made by the creator.

2592. Problems with patch - again

To most people the patch v2.0 seems to be working fine - but for others it's still causing problems, sometimes even more than the unpatched game. The problems seem to occur when you create a new neighborhood and want to build in that. The game will crash itself then. We've heard that using the reinstall option in the CD menu works. It'll keep the old prude coming, though the bay window won't show up then. We haven't been able to test the patch yet because it's not out for international versions yet, but we'll keep you updated. The international versions will be 'comimg soon' according to Maxis.
2593. Hot Date Patch

The Hot Date Patch has now been released again.
The patch is a whopping 4.95 Mb, so for everyone stuck on 56k connections (me and I think all the TSZ staff) it may take a while to download!
At the time of writing international versions of the patch are unavailable. Whether this means the patch is only available for the US version of the game it is unclear, so if you do not have the US version and are on a 56k dialup, I would wait so you don't download an unuseable patch.
The following have been added / changed with the patch:

2599. The Sims celebrates

2 years ago and 1 day (4 February 2000) ago the original of The Sims was first released. It became a top-selling game, and it still is. After over 11 million of copies sold world-wide (including expansion packs) in 13 different languages, The Sims and its expansion pack still tops the sales charts. We wonder if the next SimDay will be a special one... Happy birthday to all The Sims (and their creators)!
