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?

1916 Sterling House Catalog-The Senator:

So, i´ve decided to finish some things before building new stuff. I guess i´m starting with this lovely simple yet elegant foursquare.

Based on a floorplan from the 1916 Sterling House catalog, i´ve build this small but comfortable house for a small family. It is filled with original architectural features, modern plumbing, heating/AC, a spacious backyard,fully build basement and a parkingspot for a car.

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.

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?

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!

[badchriss]

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😂

[badchriss]

Does anyone know if this set of original Sims 4 meshes have also been converted to Sims 2? Can´t remember from which Sims 4 EP these are, but i´m pretty sure someone converted them for Sims 2. As of now, i only could find a TS4 to TS3 conversion by ATS (where this image is from btw.)

So, anyone knows if these things were converted to Sims 2 as well?

I'm especially after those awnings and corbels

[badchriss]

As you can see, i started on the building in Sims 2. There´s still a lot to do but i think it looks okay.

Things i still need to find is a decorative gabled awning for the left entrance and a large medallion shaped oval window (see the original picture in the first floor on the right.

Any pointers for useful CC for this building are welcome.

So, what do you guys thing of it so far?

[badchriss]

Saw this amazing house while browsing through the www and I have chosen it for my Sims 2 weekend project. The question is how it would be suitable as a Sims house? Maybe a house where several generations live in and the shop on the ground floor is their family shop? Or maybe as an apartment building with 2 apartments and a shop (I think there was a mod on MTS for that🤔). What do you guys think?

When you buy a new "The Sims" addon and have to check what's new on build/buy mode content😂
