I default-replaced the fly buzzing noise to match my fairy replacements several years ago, but I never got around to sharing it and I don't *quite* remember what I did (and of course just because I did something it doesn't mean it's 100% necessary). From what I remember it was the same process as texture or object replacements. I think I still have the work-in-progress files on my desktop but it's been in storage since I got pregnant in 2021, but if no one answers in the next few hours I can see about hooking it back up and taking a look. I'm pretty sure I didn't convert them, just changed the extension.

Replacing some default ambient sounds?

I was thinking of replacing some of the ambient animal sounds in The Sims 2 to match what I hear where I live. I know how to extract sounds with SimPE and convert them to wav files with Xantippe, but I'm stuck. My questions are:

Is there a way to convert .xa files to .wav in bulk? Xantippe only does it one at a time and I don't have three lives to do that for thousands of files. Since the files don't have descriptive names in SimPE, the only way to identify them is to convert them to .wav and listen to them.

If I manage to find the ambient files I'm looking for, what would I need to do to convert them back to .xa format, once I'm done making the new sounds? Or do I just save them as mp3s and change the file extension?

Update

Not feeling so hot and I'm not going to do anything impulsive at 8PM on a Friday evening but

here is a link to a sfs folder with ALL of my content that's currently only hosted on patreon.

I want to add individual sfs links to the tumblr posts but that's a lot and I'm now regretting never adding alt dl links this whole time... and sorry I don't think the downloads in the sfs folder are in order... it also might be some other things, like fixed meshes or stuff. tbh I just added everything I've made after April 3rd 2023 since that was the last time I uploaded anything to sfs.

I guess while I'm here... I was going to wait until after I finish up the last of my active requests (probably by Monday, I'm almost done) but I desperately need a break from CC. I sent a group message on the 17th to my $4 and $6 patrons encouraging them to cancel, but I know not everybody knows patreon even has dms so maybe you'll see this post and I'll reach out again in the coming days so nobody is wasting their money. I am so immensely burnt out and I need to not create for a while. This is completely my own fault, nobody made me work on CC for 8-10 hours 5 days a week for the last several months and I fully knew it wasn't sustainable ages ago but I kept doing it because it made me feel good, until it didn't. Quite honestly, even before I sent the group message the instant wave of relief I felt just having made the decision to take a break... that caught me off guard but just confirmed I need this. I do feel really awful about it because I feel like I'm letting people down but at the same time I don't want to hate creating which was already happening. That being said, I don't know how long the lull in CC is going to be, and if you're only following me strictly for CC I apologize. As said I am still finishing up one request I still had, I'm about 75% done with that as of this post. But that's gonna be it for a while.

There is a part of me that wants to stop using patreon completely and unpublish my creator page (which is what I'm not going to impulsively do tonight without properly thinking it through...since there are positives like how easy it is to download files and whatnot) but I'd again encourage not only those who joined the $4 and $6 tiers but also the $2 tier to cancel so that you aren't wasting your money. If I did do this I would definitely do the individual sfs links on everything first. I'd not just leave you guys unable to download my stuff.

So, what does that mean for this blog? I'll spare ye, impatient readers, who have already read a lot because I ramble⬇️

Well, as of posting this I still have THREE HUNDRED AND TWENTY FOUR Strangetown posts in my queue. And I'm not tired of playing that.

I'm looking forward to having an opportunity to do all of the things I've been neglecting. I'm finally going to go through the subfolder within my downloads of everything I'm downloaded the last few months and decide if I wanna keep it in my game or not. And finish default replacing everything. And all my other various little projects I haven't been doing.

Also, I want to start playing Veronaville 😮I've already started downloading lots from kattaty to replace the in-game ones, and I found a cool replacement for the neighborhood map. I am leaning towards making a new sub-blog for this so that you don't have to try and follow Strangetown/LFT posts and Veronaville/ALT posts at the same time. I've only ever played the Veronaville sims for like one day as part of a super failed megahood years ago so I'd like to get to know them.

So basically, I guess I'm a gameplay blog for now? Until I want to create anything again anyways, but I don't know when that will be.

I don't know how to end this post... I'm sorry for the disappointment, but thank you so much for enjoying my stuff 💛💛

TS1 Goths as doll defaults

This was a very random idea, but I like how it turned out! They’re a little higher poly (700-900 polys) than the original dolls, but they’re lower poly than some of the defaults out there so I’m fine with it. They clip a little with the hands, but it’s what it is. I stole the default file from Epi btw and changed stuff XD

Have fun! :)

HOME ATMOSPHERE: MAX20'S APPLIANCE MINI-PACK CONVERTED TO THE SIMS 2 👩🏽‍🍳

some time ago, i was browsing r/sims2 and saw that a lot of people were interested in seeing this set by max20 on patreon converted to ts2. took me awhile, but i finally worked out how to convert it... and make it functional! there are 5 items in total🥳

the only issue that i've found is with the stove. the door is slightly higher than with normal sims 2 stoves, so when a sim opens it, it looks a bit... weird. didn't bother me too much personally but if you like the small details... yeah, i'm very sorry 😢

DOWNLOAD: SFS | MF 🍽

there is a collection file and readme included in the download!

items included (5 in total)

Bravo Classic Fridge: 1297 polys, Appliances -> Refridgerators Bravo Classic Stove: 984 polys, Appliances -> Cooking Bravo Classic Stove Hood: 158 polys, Appliances -> Misc Kettle: 634 polys, Appliances -> Misc Mug Rack: 1956 polys, Appliances -> Misc

Cute Clutter Pt I - 4t2 Conversion of Simbishy's Decor

Sul sul! Tonight I'm sharing a 4t2 conversion of Simbishy's super colorful Cute Clutter!

Y'all know I'm hopeless when it comes to bright, cheerful colors, so of course I had to convert this set. There are ten items total, and all of them but the plant can be found under Decorative > Miscellaneous.

Bunny Pillow (Comfort) - 1536 poly | 14 colors | $40 This is the standing version; it is also the master mesh for the floor version, so you must keep this one for the floor version to work

Bunny Pillow (Floor) - 1536 poly | 14 colors | $40 See above

Cookie Friend - 1258 poly | 5 colors | - $20

Dog Bone - 460 poly | 14 colors | $10

Froggy Leaf Dish - 1388 poly | 1 color | $30

Mug - 1078 poly | 11 colors | $10

Mushroom - 1348 poly | 10 colors | $10

Plant - 1542 poly | 11 colors | $15

Slippers - 1760 poly | 14 colors | $20

Wooly Jumper - 1863 poly | 11 colors | $50

I did not swatch these - if you find there are colors you'd like to delete, please just let me know and I'll send you the file numbers. I do apologize but I managed to export all the textures out of order and it would be a nightmare to try to sort it out now. I'm being far more mindful of that going forward.

I'm also converting part two, so keep a look out for that! Many thanks again to simbishy for the great set!

DOWNLOAD (SFS) Set is ~16.4MB

Lots of love, Spacey

4to2 Hot Shot Foosball Table Functional

This is a conversion from Sims 4 Game, low poly. It works like a Pinball Machine but I added an Invisible Pinball square that you can put on the other side of the Foosball Table and another sim will play with it. This square has also an invisible recolor. Found in Hobbies - Recreation. (the invisible pinball is in Electronics like the original one) Enjoy!

Functional 4t2 Book Piles

A while ago I already shared a bunch of functional book piles. Time for some new ones!

This is a set of 20 book piles converted from Sims 4 and turned into functional bookcases. All books can go on various surfaces, including shelves, and are still functional.

@lordcrumps' shadow file is necessary for the shadows to work properly, it's included, but of course delete it if you already have it.

Compressed, clearly labelled, meshes merged with recolors (trust me, you'll want them all), picture included.
