WCIF a thing or two for my current project

Okay gang, i need your help with stuff. Currently i need two things, a set of wall height modular windows and some steel girders that come in several colors (including white), sorta like this one from Guatla:

But without the horizontal bit. It would be cool if it´s a column, but purely decorative is good too.

I know, this sounds like super specific stuff so i guess you´re wondering what i need it for.....well, i´m trying to build a version of the infamous Farnsworth house.

Any help would be apprechiated.

PS: If you have links for some neat bauhaus fitting furniture i would be happy as a clam.

Remember the day i started building a modern/contemporary style minimalist home?...

....me neither, or at least only vaguely.

I have this little weirdo sitting around in a neighborhood. Not sure when or why i build this because modern/contemporary is an architecture style i absolutely dislike. Maybe someone challenged me….sorta like "hey i bet you can´t build modern stuff"…well, suck on a lemon unknown stranger because i did one. It is sparsely furnished, has an unfinished but usable basement and as you can see…not much room for a garden because Mister Smartypants McMe decided to start building on a 1x2 lot

So, would be something you peeps would be interested in? Then i might finish it up (putting in some heating/AC) and some minimal effort on the basement) and would share it in a few days or so.

Let me know what you think.

1920 Bennet Homes - The York: a small bungalow for small families

This delightful bungalow, built in the 1920s, boasts timeless charm and classic craftsmanship. With its inviting front porch, original architectural features, and lush landscaping, this home is perfect for those who appreciate vintage appeal. The property includes a unique, picturesque tree in the front yard and a vibrant garden, ideal for relaxing outdoors. Located in a peaceful neighborhood, this home is ready to be your cozy retreat.

So, i´ve finished and refined another one of my vintage bungalows. This time it´s based on a low slung house from the 1920 Bennet Homes catalog. Ready cut houses were already a big thing back then and folks could pic from a large range of different homes.

This house was carefully preserved, painted in a vibrant color coice and has cozy rooms and the backyard is a large canvas for your imagination (that´s probably realtor speak for "crammed rooms and the garden is a weed covered mess")

Let´s have some pics, shall we?

My newest piece of enjoyment and fun is this little guy, a 1/16 scale rc car. It's obviously modeled after those iconic small Japanese trucks and it's such a riot to zip around the apartment or outside. Despite its miniscule proportions, this thing is quite rugged and tough for an affordable little rc car. It even comes with proportional speed and steering, which means it's not just one speed, but the speed can be carefully controlled same with steering angle.

Anyone familiar with this roof bug?

I have a random roof stuck on a lot which i can´t get rid off. For some weird reason i can recolor it with the "recolor roof tool" but i can´t delete it.

Any idea what might have happened?

Hatcha! Look who´s cooking. Found my old harddrive, found the USB cord (guess where it was....come on, guess!This is a good one) and everything is still in fine working order. Could probably pop this HDD into an empty computer and just let it run :D Nah, my current PC has more steam.

[badchriss]

Wish me luck everyone...i might have found the old heart of my previous PC. Untouched and hermetically encapsuled in a swap in case. Kinda felt like an archivist that dug through shelves as big as buildings finding this thing...and blew off the dust...right while i was sitting at my desk....nice. So anyways, i´m going to clean off my desk and then the only thing that´s stopping me from accessing this harddrive is a USB cable....oh boy!

Weird trouble with modular stairs

Yay, after abandoning TS2 for so long i thought i might give it a whirl again....looks like everything is still well and in order......except for my modular stairs.

Crap, i must have forgotten to back up my modular stairs file. They mightn still be on my old HDD from my old rig, but i must find it first. Is there an easier way to track down which modular stairs i have? Like maybe with SimPe or something (or shooting into the dark and look for everything in the CC folder that has "stair" in it, hoping i can track down the creator and know where to look for the DL link)

Otherwise the game still looks fabulous and works....

What the ever loving ..... happened? On a little hiatus and randomly coming back to Tumblr only to see things go all belly up again? The heck happened to @loewedeus?

Another simblr is blocked by mistake again

@staff @support @komanda When will it end, tumblr? Bring @lowedeus back.

Migrating my downloads and collection files from my old pc hdd over to my new pc. Extra for this I bought an external hdd frame.

Can't wait to see how fast a cc heavy Sims 2 will load from a spanking new SSD

Which way to install @dreadpirate`s Radiance Lighting Mod 2.5?

Hey gang, i´m a bit lost here. I´m still in the process of moving over to my new PC and i have installed Mr DJ`s version of the Ultimate Collection. It already works and runs on it´s own and has all fixes applied to it and now i would love to get to the fun part and actually modify it.

I wanted to start with @dreadpirate `s Radiance Lighting Mod 2,5 but the instructions leave me kinda puzzled as on how to tread my installed game.

This is how my gamefolder looks right now.

So, anyone ever tried to install the Radiance Lighting Mod to Mr DJ´s UC version and can give me a hint?

[badchriss]

Got a sweet new rig...well, mostly new. The gpu and case are second hand but we're rarely used and always have been cared for.

The stats are:

1tb ssd

1tb hdd

Ryzen 5 3400G

GTX 1070

16GB RAM

two fans in the front, one in the back (plus the fans of course and gpu.

It came with windows 11. I know, it hates old games.

So far I installed a version of the Sims 2 UC (thanks to the donor🥰wink) and after some annoying kerfuffle with the 4gb patch and cff explorer which both didn't work at all I found a thread on leefish where @celebkiriedhel uploaded a fixed and ready to go exe.

Now I'm slowly going to put mods back into the game, starting with essential stuff like pause frame remover, camera setting, radiance lighting and lots of things I probably have forgotten.

Sims 2: What to back up for a new computer?

So, i just got a phonecall from a friend of one of my best friends that my new computer will be ready by the end of next week.

Well, it´s not completely new, the casing and the GPU are second hand but basically were just display pieces.

Forgot what CPU it gets but it gets 16 GB RAM and a GTX 1070 ti with 8GB VRAM.

First thing i´m wondering are if there´s a chance i can get the Sims 2 Ultimate Collection from a trusted sitr (recommendations welcome.

Second is: What do i need to back up from my old game so it can be continued where i left it?

the Downloads and Neighbourhood Folders are of course a no brainer, but what else?

Does anyone have a comprehensive list on what to back up and save when moving Sims 2 to another computer?

All input is welcome.

Who else checks @vintagehomeplans frequently for Sims housing ideas?

just wanted to say thanks for running this blog! i find it super useful for building in the sims 4 and also just really appreciate seeing pretty vintage houses on my dash <3

I’ve been getting a lot of messages about using these plans to build houses in the sims and minecraft—if anyone wants to show me your creations, I’d be happy to see them!

Finally taking down my Christmas tree. It's an artificial one so no harm in leaving it a bit longer. Unscrewed these vintage 1950s bulbs first because they are a bit delicate. They're partially spray painted glass and I really love those. Got another set of lights that are a bit younger (60s) and made from plastic but I'm not yanking them off the tree either. Funny thing is it snowed last night😂
