The School Project Project

I couldn't stop myself from giving this mod such an awful title. xD

This mod gives children and teenagers a chance of bringing home school project instead of standard written homework.

There are in total 6 school projects converted from TS4 Parenthood: bridge, castle, electricity, rocket, solar system and volcano.

Kids have a chance of bringing the following three projects: castle, solar system and volcano. Teens have a chance of bringing the following three projects: bridge, electricity and rocket.

Chance of bringing a school project is by default 20%, but it can be tuned in BCON "Tuning - School Project" of group 0x7FBE051B and instance 0x0000200A.

School projects take longer to finish (by about 1/4 longer), but are more rewarding, letting your Sims gain some skills, hobby enthusiasm and even badges, making school actually useful. 😉

Bridge makes your Sims gain mechanical skill and tinkering enthusiasm.

Castle makes your Sims gain creativity skill and arts enthusiasm.

Electricity makes your Sims gain mechanical skill, robotery badge and tinkering entusiasm.

Rocket makes your Sims gain logic skill, toy making badge and science enthusiasm.

Solar system makes your Sims gain mechanical skill and science enthusiasm.

Volcano makes your Sims gain logic skill and nature enthusiasm.

Skill, badge and enthusiasm gain isn't that great, but it's there.

You won't see the skill meter above your Sim's head, because apparently there can be only one meter at a time.

Sims have a chance of making school project of one of three qualities: poor, good and excellent.

The outcome depends on skill and badge corresponding the project, getting help with school project (but it only counts if it happens during quality check) and traits:

clumsy Sims will always get penalty,

technophobes wil get penalty when working on electricity and rocket,

'can't stand art' Sims will get penalty when working on castle,

geniuses and perfectionists will always get bonus,

handy Sims will get bonus when working on electricity and rocket,

artistic and avant garde Sims will get bonus when working on castle.

Bonuses do not stack. Penalties also don't. So if your Sim is genius and perfectionist, they will get only one bonus. Bonus and penalty can cancel each other out.

When making castle, your SIms will hold a crayon instead of a pencil. While working on the electricity project Sims will hold a screwdriver. In case of other projects Sims will still use pencil, because I haven't decided what else would fit. ���

If you use smonaff’s Fall Asleep While Doing Homework, Sims who have fallen asleep can't make a project of excellent quality - it will be good at best.

Additionally, if you have @earlypleasantview's conversions of TS4 School Projects in your downloads, upon completion of a project a project will be placed in your Sim's inventory. The only exception is the castle as various qualities are recolors of the object, so you will have to manually set the recolor you want it to be.

This mod is not compatible with Cyjon's Harder Homework. There's no compatibility plug-in as of now. Maybe I'll make one later, but right now I'm dead inside after converting 40 meshes. 😫

Some of the mods for that I've made compatibility plug-ins are already incompatible, so:

DO NOT use my edit of Jenflower's Homework sometimes and plug-in for MidgeTheTree's No Buses at the same time - these two mods are incompatible.

DO NOT use my edit of Jenflower's Homework sometimes and my edit of Cyjon's Harder Homework and plug-in for simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (Full version) - these three mods are incompatible.

DO NOT use my edit of kestrellyn's Ask Anyone For Homework Help and plug-in for simler90's Homework Help Mod at the same time - these two mods are incompatible.

DO NOT use my plug-in for simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (both Full and Placement versions) and my plug-in for MogHughson's Desk Locator - these mods are incompatible.

I'm not planning on making any more compatibility plug-ins for this mod. I can safely assume 16 plug-ins is enough.

Known bugs

When project's model changes Sims arms are bent under weird angle for a moment.

Thanks to @lordcrumps for supplying me with meshes and textures for school projects from TS4 Parenthood!

I've already shared a link to mesh-only version of this replacement in my posh club stuff post, but that one didn't hide effects so here's an updated version.

It requires University EP - I replaced effect names in Str resource with invisible effect from Uni. /Previous version is also included.

With the Academy Awards tomorrow night, I thought I’d work on a conversion that might come in handy for any Sims that might be celebrating the occasion. These conversions come from a few sets by the extremely talented @soloriya… one of my all-time favorite Sims 4 creators. 

Included in the download is:

• A pair of 3D glasses • A plate of appetizers • tuxedo gift bag • 2 different balloon displays • a stack of film canisters • party favor bottle • 2 different cakes • camera gift box • bow-tie glass of champagne • clapboard • deco column • countdown frame • curtain • director’s chair (barstool) • stacked film reel end table (5 slots) • single film reel • film reel floor sculpture • megaphone • Plumbob Oscar trophy • photo screen • tuxedo boxed popcorn • bucket of popcorn (3 sizes) • shelf • soda • Oscar cutout (2 sizes) • film reel table • tickets in a holder •

The large Oscar cuttout is a slave to the small, tabletop one. I really liked the tabletop version, so I blew it up and slaved it to the original. The same is true of the popcorn. The smallest one is the master, and the two larger ones are slaved to it because I wanted a couple sizes. You must have the master files in order for the slaves to work. 

The shelf is cloned from a 3t2 shelf by the ever-amazing @hugelunatic with my utmost thanks and appreciation. The shelf has many slots and requires OFB. All food is deco only and most of it can be found in General > Party. Since this set is all a single theme and stuff is all over the place in the catalog, I included a collection file.

All recolors are included. Files are compressorized. Files are in individual folders containing preview images of each recolor. Remember to discard the images after you’ve decided what you want to keep. They account for over half the file size.

Hey Jinxy, would you like converting 2 items from the sims 4 growing together pack? Namely All-a Board Game Set and Piece-ful Puzzle Set. I tried it myself... and what can i say... i failed badly xD So i really admire people like you who can do this. Thank you for your work and that you sharing with untalented people like me^^

You're very welcome, @fluffyfluse! I'm sorry to hear your first attempts at converting didn't go so well, but keep trying, and eventually you'll get the hang of it. In the meantime, I'm happy to help you out.

This is obviously the All-A-Board Game Set and the Piece-ful Puzzle Set. They're decorative only, but I categorized them in Hobbies > Recreation so they'd show up with other "game" stuff.

All recolors are included. Files are compressorized!

[impressedbee]

I had two separate anon asks for a few things from the infant update and Growing Together. I combined them into one download, because they all kind of go together.

The "Way-to-Play Playmat" was requested as deco and is deco, as is the "Kindermade Kinderrattle." For some reason, some of the Way-to-Play Playmat recolors would not come up for me in Sims 4 Studio, (I updated my game and Sims 4 Studio without any luck in fixing it) so I only used the ones that were working.

The "Changemaster 3000 By Schitts & Sons (& Grandsons!)" was requested for community lot bathrooms. I made a functional version (table down) and a deco version as a wall painting. Both are enabled for community lots. The deco version is larger than the functional version. There is no repositoring used, so you can have both or either or without problem.

Everything can be found in General > Kids. Files are compressorized.

[impressedbee]

So the request I fulfilled yesterday for the ATS pet stuff reminded me of something I made for my own game and never shared for whatever reason, but I'm sharing now!

Eons ago, I did an updated version of a pizzeria set from Sims Connection, and this is similar to that. It's an ancient set from Retail Sims, made in the very early days of Sims 2. I play a strictly Simlish game and I wasn't a huge fan of the original textures anyway, so I replaced them with ones of my own making. I've renamed the meshes, so if you have the original Retail Sims meshes in your game but would rather use my files, you must remove the old meshes first. Not only have I replaced the textures, but I've also recategorized everything to be in General > Pets instead of in the Decor > Sculptures.

These are merged files, meaning all the recolors are included with the mesh, and each file has at least one recolor, but many have more than that.

Fair warning, all the meshes are cat food because I have cats and I wanted more cat food options because of it. These are what my cats eat, so I didn't have to go far for inspiration. If there's any kind of a demand for dog food recolors though, I could always give it a shot, just let me know.

Because these are very old school Sims 2 meshes, everything is very low poly and not at all a resource hog. All twelve meshes and their recolors come in at less than 3MB even without slaving everything (so I didn't).

Thanks to Shastakiss for the Cluedo woods (used on the kitty shelf), Flaticon for providing the icons used on the textures, and google for the other images. And of course the biggest thank you and all credit goes to Retail Sims for creating the set in the first place.

girl, you did nothing wrong. multiple people have already said so in the reblogs of that post as well and I fully agree with them. that person complaining needs to get a grip.

Thank you, anon. I felt badly at first, but messages like this helped me to brush the whole thing off. And now, a download in your honor.

These are some miscellaneous jewelry store items (and a hotel safe I threw in there) by Around the Sims converted to Sims 2. Everything here is just deco, but for everything but the safe, there are a ton of recolors. The original set had a blue box as the mesh, but I preferred the black as the mesh with the blue as a recolor, so that was what I did.

Files are compressorized and contain preview images of the recolors so you can pick and choose which ones to keep. Remember to discard the preview images before putting the files in your downloads.

Posh Club Stuff

New meshes, add-ons, recolors and default replacements

Download: SFS | BOX

Round table is also included but please note it's a purely decorative object.

Glowing H&M stair and fence replacements require Extended Standard Material shader by @crispsandkerosene /work without it, but will not look like they do in the preview/.

Floors featured in the pic: VTMR tiles (carpet 5 and 6) converted by @freezerbunny-sims2 , wallpaper is 'Fiery red' by Donnha, wood panelling is from Bon Voyage, I think.

*This is for The Sims 2

So this lot is more of a photoshoot set than actual building and I can't share that mess - but here's most of the CC / defaults I used in there. Also, please note this Reshade preset affected the colors.

Plant in the main pic is Bioshock 2 conversion by Misty-fluff (anyone has a link)? I've included it - it's actually my mesh edit with pot removed.

Eventually I didn't place any grand staircase in my club - but I was going to. As my internet was down at the time, I made my own mesh edits without the stupid middle raillings. Mesh defaults for 'Sweeping Success Staircase' and deco staircase aka 'A Stair to Remember' (both are from M&G EP) - are included.

Defaults for these already exist - like this one by HL - but please note I edited Sweeping Staircase's railing posts and steps a bit. I also edited UVs, so my replacement does not require texture edits and is compatible with recolors for original.

There's also this default by simblrnova, which includes GMND fix, so the side panels change colors along the main subset (I think they also edited UVs).

You can use my texture replacement for 'Stair to remember' along any mesh default for these stairs. Please note I didn't replace side panel textures.

Matching texture / TXMT replacement for the deco fence 'A Fence to keep in mind' is included in a separate file. Obviously it will clash with other defaults for this fence, like "SN-RailingtoKeepinMind-TXMTFix" by Simblrnova.

/I have no idea if middle stair railing is used for sliding animations - if it is, anims will obviously look awkward. /

I gave Velvet Rope Fence posts a little makeover - you can choose between shape edit, or shape edit plus TXMT edit.

And in case you wonder about the microphone - it's a mesh replacement for "Small superstar microphone" (from Apartment Life, maybe?) with amplifier removed

Microphone dr is not included, I uploaded it HERE (SFS)

Steel support beam requires Apartment Life EP. It looks best in black so I recommend these pipe recolors too.

Round banquet table is a decorative object

It will pull textures from Roundabout table, which could be from Celebrations SP (?) . You can use some invisible 1x1 table to make it somewhat functional /I included invisible table recolor for the 'groovy' square table from UNI EP/.

Decor bits on the table are a part of the mesh, if you don't like it, you can open GMDC in simPe and delete unwanted subsets /FYI those plates are lower than default Eaxis plate/.

I've included small mineral water bottle that didn't make it into my bar decor set as it should.

Crystal chandelier aka Cascades chandelier is a TS2 preorder item, I've included the mesh /with edited texture, black 'circle' removed from the canopy top/. The other one is from M&G /I think?/.

Fancy planter is an add on for 'Off the hook egg" (maybe OFB?), has one placement slot. Recolors (2 in one) included - recolor says red and black, but I changed it to gold last minute.

2-story spotlighter was cloned from an ordinary ceiling lamp, and is not animated - 'light beams' are not recolourable, and are always on. It requires Night Life - I also included recolor for the other NL spotlighter, as I discovered later these are not texture-linked.

2-story curtains are an add-on for 4t2 Wondymoon Cycnus curtains converted by @deatherella - s4 original is here (T$R) - I included the required mesh and my recolors - red and dark purple.

Plumbob sign is based on a symbol from TS2 litigator podium (a career reward).

Stuff I'll share some other time: 2-story light cable extension, table lamps /also, chairs - maybe/.

And if you're up for some DYI, here's the texture I used for the club ceiling. This is based on Adele's sectioned wood floor texture, made dark brown.

Plain Basin Sink 3t2

Here’s a very quick upload for y'all. It’s the Plain Basin Sink from TS3 basegame for TS2. It comes in one basic white colour with four metal options. I will probably add more colours at some point. Or not. Who knows? I want to clean the texture up, too - but this is something that I wanted to throw up on my blog while I still had the file as I keep losing the darn thing.

It’s basegame-compatible and just… yeah, it’s a sink. What else can I write about it? :D

[4t2] Alertz Burglar Alarm

Hi there y'all! Since the last update for The Sims 4, burglars are back (10 years later-), and with them, a nice burglar alarm. This item got my attention and I wanted to port it to The Sims 2, but I don't had the game installed because ~Hard Drive Space issues~. However, I found the model out there, so I decided to port it finally!

I've found a few problems with it at the time to port to The Sims 2. For example, originally the led screen was attached to the green/red led, with no editions at all, which made the entire alarm to look green! Then, my second option was to simply edit the mesh and add it over the base alarm, so yeah, behind the led screen theres the actual turned off alarm, very clever! So I believe that if you didnt paid your bills and they cut the lights, I think the turned off screen wil be shown instead (didn't tested).

(The video is an old version with no glow)

It will switch between blue and orange (depending if a burglar activated it or not), however, sound effect couldn't be replaced with the TS4 version. If the cops arrives in time, the alarm will be deactivated and switch back to blue.

In order to make it functional, you'll need to download the Custom Burglar Alarms by MidgetheTree, otherwise, it's just a nice paperweight with no use :)

Alertz Burglar Alarm Information:

Description:

A state-of-the-art Burglar detector that can be upgraded with all the fanciest features. Helps you sleep safe and sound, unless a Burglar is spotted. Also effectively wakes the whole family up, as it should. Very, very loudly. Buy one for any door the Burglar could enter from!

📼kestrelteen's 4t2 nostalgia living set furniture in goat wood and pooklet naturals📼

really cute and versatile set in some more realistic woods and my fave palette for woods. a before and after img under the cut.

the polys are pretty low (they're like 2k at most i blv). texture sizes for the wood is 1024px and the glass is 512px. all have working mipmaps.

i know the glass looks a little iffy but i had to manually separate the design from the transparency which took forever to get right so pls know i tried my best xd

also, im aware that the centre and the bookshelf have identical textures and i made recolours for them each, but i couldn't repository them in my usual method and i just dont have the patience for doing it manually, srry!

i included kestrelteens' original collection file in case you dont have it and the meshes are included too. make sure to visit their original post for more details!

Simoleons And Co Default Replacement

This file will replace the simoleon texture as well as that of money tree, money bag, first simoleon framed picture and tip jar.

This replacement is based on a complete simoleon-and-everything-related replacement by @olivemuenda​, I also got some ideas from disemporium’s similar simoleon replacement.

The simoleon bill art (original post is here) belongs to talented @thesims2comics​, I just couldn’t resist using it as soon as I saw it! The money tree bark is @episims​ orchard trees bark texture, I thought it would be perfect for this replacement (it’s a tree after all). And for the pot I used one of @shastakiss​ metals (old brass). For the framed simoleon I used shastakiss cluedo wood texture (light).

Tree states:

Tip jar:

Framed simoleon picture:

I recommend deleting your thumbnails for the new money tree thumbnail to properly update (shift click on it won’t work).

Special thanks go to @homesoft​ for nice conversations and valuable links, resources and photoshop tips. And for actually motivating me to properly finish this replacement :)
