Sim Effects (modded object by unknown creator)

I downloaded this over a decade ago (apparently from the Insimenator forum) but I can't find it online anywhere, so I decided to reupload it, since it's very useful for storytelling. It adds particle and visual effects to the selected sim.

if anyone knows who created it, let me know.

How to: Make sure your new PC can play Sims 2

Here are certain numbers you need to know - they are (from the graphic rules):    seti cpuLevelHigh           3000    seti cpuLevelMedium      2600    seti cpuLevelLow            2000 So when you are getting your CPU - you need to have at least 3 MHz. Now, Sims 2 was invented before dual cores, quad cores, and octo cores - so it doesn’t really know how to deal with them. What that means is that if you have an octo core with less than 2600 it will lag, regardless of the fact it actually has way more than 3000 in total. 1. Look for CPU where EACH core has more than 2600. (It can cope with dual cores kind of, so 2600 is enough). You’re better off with fewer cores, but you can control how the game works if you have more so it’s not a deal breaker. 2. RAM - always get as much as RAM as you can. RAM is what determines how much CC you can handle. 3. If you can get your Operating System and/or your game onto an SSD drive it will go like the clappers. An SSD drive is as fast as RAM when it comes to accessing hard drives. This is not so much from a processing point of view, as it is an accessing your game data point of view. Also if you can have your paging files on a separate drive to your O/S and game - that will make it go faster as well, because it won’t be trying to access two different parts of the drive at the same time. 4. Graphics cards - All the major Graphic cards are fine - Intel, NVidia and Radeon. The larger the graphics card memory, the less problem with pink flashy. When installing your game on Windows 10 - I have a forum over at Leefish with all the details on how to get it run, based on whether you have Ultimate Collection or the CD/DVDs. They are in these two threads:

Windows 10 Graphics Problems and CD/DVD Windows 10 Graphics Problems and Ultimate Collection

What We Need Is... More Books

After long last I realized that instead of battling with the constant urge to swap my book defaults, I could just give my sims more books to read.

This mod combines both of mine + iSimChi's book defaults and makes the game randomize between those for each genre. So instead of 7 books, there are 21 ✨

I made my older covers use the pages of my newer ones since they have more details.

The mod also fixes the following book behavior:

Books placed outside of bookshelves will no longer turn upwards when a lot is loaded

The 'read to sleep' interaction (that was added in Apartment Life and appears on minors who are in bed but haven't yet fallen asleep) will use children's books instead of the skilling one

This mod consists of two files. In addition to the mod file, there's a texture file that includes the needed book defaults.

If you want to use the mod with some other defaults, simply replace the textures from the texture file. You can also use that file as a base for making your own default set of 21 books.

📚 Download (SFS) (alternate)

Free Time is required. Conflicts with other book cover default replacements, remove those before using these. Also conflicts with ftminifixes by Pescado, if you want to use both make my mod load last (you'll lose the golden book that ftminifixes brings back to the reward bookcase since this mod randomizes textures for that bookcase too).

⚠️ A replacement for novel icons isn't included. You'll probably want to get the one from my newer defaults, as those covers will be used for the novels with the included texture file.

Many thanks to @isimchi for the permission to use their awesome textures 💜 for full credits, please see the original posts.

Update (11.11.2024): The covers are now also randomized for the bed/hammock reading interactions and for the film & literature reading while walking hobby idle. For all of these, sims can now also pick books other than skilling and will show an individual taste in books based on the sim's interests, hobbies, and aspirations, as well as on 3t2 traits* if those are used.

*Includes trait checks for bookworm, computer whiz, dramatic, hopeless romantic, natural cook, and perceptive.

All the books have 512x512 textures and use a 64x64 specular map. The mod file includes improved material definitions that also fix some lighting issues for the drama and the scifi books.

Sims 4t2 Life & Death (EP 17)

Another collaboration from the amazing @tvickiesims and myself. Just about everything is converted and made functional. Unfortunately though some things were left behind due to time constraints and (my) lack of patience. Maybe someday, if not someone else!

LordCrumps' 4t2 Shadow File is required and included

Horse Ranch Bathroom

I'm in love with the wood textures from the TS4 Horse Ranch pack, so I converted the bathroom too.

Bathtub - poly: 1.160, $ 350

Shower - poly: 910, $ 350

Sink - poly: 938, $ 150

Cabinet - poly: 1.164, $ 125

Tub, shower and sink have two subsets. Cabinet: I used the conversion by Lordcrumps, but made it into a dresser! So now your Sims can change clothes in the bathroom. Different GUID, so you can have both. You do need the LC Sims4shadowfile (included, only install if you don't have it already).

Tub and shower have 8 wood colors, cabinet and sink have more. Shower has 12 unique curtains.

Trait Chemistry Mod edit

yet another frickin' update (11 Nov 2024 )

After a day of intense testing here's third update for my edit of Trait-based TO Chemistry Mod by Atomtanned . Hopefully the last one but you never know with these mods, it's so complex and hard to test.

If you use this mod, please re-download again

Download: SFS | BOX

Servos now trigger Technology TO /even without high (default) mechanical skill/ Thanks to @ramblinsims for telling me how to fix it.

"Loner" trait now triggers "Introvert" TO, and "dislikes children" trait does not 🙈

Possibly a few more things got fixed?

*Correct file has 'Update3' in the name!

a few more notes to add on top of these:

Unfortunately the game doesn’t calculate TO chemistry level between Sims in real time, that makes it especially difficult to spot stuff that doesn't work right. You don’t see immediate results when you add some traits or change skills etc.

You can force chemistry bolt update by editing Sim’s appearance or loose/gain weight BUT I’ve noticed that sometimes the game stops recalculating TO chemistry altogether... Reloading a lot seems to help with that.

Zombie Turn-on (in this mod it’s ‘Indoorsy TO’!) in combination with certain hair color TOs can cause Sim’s TOs to reroll in some situations – it also happens in vanilla game, nobody seems to know why, there are no traces of it in BHAV so it’s probably not fixable. Personally I don't consider "Indoorsy" an interesting TO and I was planning to get rid of it but since I've been told about this bug, I decided to leave it.

My Harrie-CC conversions will be removed!

Sorry people but I was asked to remove also my conversions from this creator, so you won't see them again on my page and I won't post new conversions from House of Harlix in the future.

Just want to inform about that so I won't be asked where they went :)

Have a nice simming you all!

ive been really busy and wasn't able to finish this in time for halloween! but i hope someone will enjoy these now regardless lol, more details and DL under the cut!

its no secret i like to obsessively pose scenes in sims 2 lol and i edited some various "movie" posters (they aren't real movies obv). I tried to keep them with a pretty true-to-sims-energy style. Some of them have video game energy and could be used in gaming stores too!

the posters come on artig and also surfing the universe for super collection peeps. Idk why I put them on a poster that isn't nearly the same aspect ratio, it made it way harder for no reason lol. The films are:

Blood in the Water (tagline: at the beach...looking like a snack)

Phantom Photo (j horror-inspired, you can prob guess the game! :P)

A Generous Man (a Rod Humble horror movie..whats in the box!!)

Virus Hunters (tagline: the best way to kill a virus...is with a gun)

Game Day (tagline: there's no "I" in scream)

here's how the artig recolors look on various add-ons by @littlelittlesimmies . Sadly as you can see the posters get a bit cut-off on the artig poster add-on because I extended outside of artig's white border and didn't realize they got cut off until late in the process ;_;

i made the artig ones at 1024 originally so included them just in case someone wants hq textures. up close you can tell a difference, but from normal game distance they look essentially the same. So you can pick between 512 or 1024 in the folder.
