Right I didn't think she was a kid. She might like simwardrobes fire bomb in that case.

Be sure to set all her objects.package files to read-only. Heck, set the whole Sims 2 Program Files folder tree to read-only. I played that way for years and it never caused any problems. Neighborhoods can still get corrupted that way, but your the program itself should be a lot healthier.

She sounds like my kind of player.

Until you can come with a punchline. Perhaps hint her about it, but do not spoil it obviously. Like deadpan & say "Welp, did you know that sims can't climb out from the pool without a ladder" or when some kind of tragedy occurs, then go like "lol, this remind me the type when my sims jump into the pool without the ladder" place". Anyway, I'm bad at making up these examples, but just try to intentionally urge her to do that. Perhaps give her an idea of creating a household of one science guy/gurl with her "lab rat test subject" (or start/jump on Beakers) and give her a list of all the things the scientist could try out on the lab dummy, with the last task being "sending him to swim off the pool, removed the ladder and from there test the tortured sim's physical endurance limits/capabilities.

lol Sims 2 was never released on a floppy disc bro. What century are you from? kidding. This is a floppy disc:
You're probably referring to CDs. The CD version of Sims 2 base game came with 4 CD's. They were a pain, as the read speed was slow. Furthermore, CDs were rendered unreadable due to scratches. This was particularly annoying when one finally got to install disc 4, and then the drive could not read the disc because its too scratched!
