As promised...

The Bath Cabinet, still as dresser, but without the deco. And 4 slots. And the deco as clutter.

Clutter: basket with towels comes in 4 colors, towels and rolled towels are repo'd to the basket with towels.

This cabinet is not repo'd to the original. And had a new GUID. So you can use only this one, or the original or both.

Hey there! If you don't mind, WCIF wallpapers from Goneril and Albany's house, the ones that look like recolors of the BG green wallpaper?

has anyone been able to psychologically evaluate the sims phenomenon of either not being able to play for 6 months straight or being an addict that can't go without it for a few days with no inbetween in an endless cycle throughout our lifespan

No Rotating Pet Bowls

This mod stops pet food bowls from changing direction nearly every time a pet eats from them or a sim fills/cleans them.

With the fill/clean interactions some rotating still happens during the animations, but the bowl will return to the position it was before getting picked up.

The mod affects all pet bowls, including custom ones (unless they're done in some uncommon way). The rotating isn't as irritating with the in-game bowls but is annoying with custom bowls that have an asymmetric mesh and/or are large enough to clip with walls.

Pets EP is obviously required. I don't know anything this conflicts with but run HCDU to be sure.

Thanks to @tvickiesims for the idea and testing!

EA's leaves are kind of dull, and I personally think TNW's are too bright, so here's my spin on a leaf default + a new mod :-D

Leaf variety mod

There are 4 different leaf textures in the game files but only one is used. I talked with @shastakiss some years(?) ago and she mentioned an unfinished mod Neder started working on to make the leaf use different textures. Unfortunately, Neder couldn't get it to work. Shasta kindly sent me said mod and I handed it over to @lamare-sims last year who of course managed to fix it (thank you so much once again, you're a legend!!)

Note #1: worth mentioning, this mod will only affect leaves that spawn after you've installed the mod! the same goes for my mesh fix included in the default below. Note #2: if you already have this mod in you dl-folder, delete that file and use the one from this download if you're planning on using my default below (otherwise my uv-map and texture edit below will not work).

Defaults

Replaces all 4 leaf-textures with new, more colorful and less blocky textures. I also edited the "effect"-textures of single leaves (the ones falling from the trees). This default can be used without the mod mentioned above, but then only the "original" texture will be used - see second image.

The leaves that spawns under the tree (the one sims can't rake), it was impossible to make it look good with any of the four textures, so I re-mapped it and gave it it's own texture (256x256px). There's also an optional default for the rake included, I edited a tiny error in the mesh and gave it a texture makeover. I made a separate LOD90-default for the leafpile (meaning: the mesh in neighborhood view) and instead of replacing the textures I repo'd them, meaning that the LOD90 default works with any leaf texture default you might use (it will only be showing one texture in neighborhood view).

Texture sizes are all the same as EA's:

Leaves: 512x512px x4 (my default +1: 256x256px)

Rake: 128x256px

Leaf effects: 32x32px x3

Edited leaf-related cc

I edited Sophie-David's leaf pile pet bed (the mesh) and repo'd it to leafpile_txtr, meaning the mesh will now pick up my default (or any other default you might have for leafpile_txtr, and if none - EA's original texture). The mesh now needs seasons + pets, since it's repo'd. Their recolors are not included, so be sure to download them from the link above if you want them and replace their mesh with mine!

I also edited Shakeshaft's leaf cover mesh (warning T$R) , I repo'd it to one of the leaf textures and made recolors - also repo'd - to the rest of the textures. This mesh and recs now need seasons, this also means that the mesh and recolors* can be used without my default.

*with the exception of rc4, which is repo'd to my custom leaf texture, found in my leaf default.

Recommended mod

I recommend simler90's Gardening Rake Leaf Pile Mod or jfade's leaf pile fix (I have no idea what the difference between those two mods are, they edit the same thing so choose one of them).

Nothing in this download is dependent on each other* so feel free to pick and choose what you want :-) remember you can only have one default for the leaves, meaning that if you have any other default (1, 2, 3, 4) or Shakeshaft's/Sophie-David's original meshes, make sure you remove them before installing my files. Everything has been compressed to reduce file size, as usual. Do let me know if I messed up anywhere!

*with the exception of rc4, see above.

The mesh has the four original textures attached to it as well; since this is my first recolor, I don’t know how to isolate the mesh from them. If anyone knows how, I’d appreciate some tips.

Hobbies and sub-hobbies

I've been working on implementing a sub-hobby system in my game recently and really enjoying it! I took a look at the different activities available for different hobbies and came up with my list, which I thought I'd share here.

I do have some mods that change the hobby enthusiasm of some objects, or add new ones - I'll link where applicable.

I don't assign these based on any system, just vibes. I usually stick with whatever hobby the game assigns, but I do sometimes change them if it really feels like it doesn't fit to me. The sub-hobbies are intended to be a main focus, but Sims can and will still try other aspects of their overall hobby, and other hobbies altogether sometimes too!

The list is a work in progress but I'm basically happy with it now.

Cuisine

Cooking

Baking

Wine & Cocktails

Foodie (restaurants, delivery)

Films & Literature

Reading

Writing (helpful but not necessary to also have this mod)

Movies

Tinkering

Restoring & Repairing (restorable car, general repairs, plus drafting blueprints thanks to a mod)

Knitting (Eisbaer's edit of TonyVeis' 4t2 mod)

Science

Stargazing/Aliens

Biotech (buyable Biotech station and microscopes with science enthusiasm added)

Robotics (this mod makes robotics science related which makes far more sense to me)

Games

Video Games (console, handheld, computer, arcade games)

Board Games (chess, Don't Wake the Llama, mahjong)

Bar Games (darts, poker, pool)

Bowling

Nature

Entomology (hunting bugs, catching fireflies and butterflies)

Animals (small pets like womrats, birds, koi fish, bird watching)

Gardening (harvestable crops, orchard trees - I play with perfect plants mod so they don't have to maintain flowers and shrubs)

Outdoorsy (fishing, hiking, camping, cloud watching)

Flower Arranging (this mod changes the enthusiasm on the flower bench to nature)

Car Park Toy Functional for The Sims 2

This is a 4to2 conversion from AroundTheSims, low poly. It's a functional toy for children and toddlers. It's cloned from a Dollhouse so it will work in the same way. However sims will use cars instead of dolls to play with it. It has also a broken stage.

☀️ Sunburn [BV] & Overheat [SSN] txtr default

Includes AM overheat texture fix by Epi*

Download (SFS)

*In vanilla game AM overheat body overlay 3IDR is incorrectly linked to AF TXMT. @episims has kindly made a fix for it - it's incorporated with my overlay default.

More under the cut:

*This is obviously for The Sims 2

*Guys also get tan lines, archive contains preview pic

Sunburn (pics above) consists of universal scalp and universal face texture, plus three body textures for CU, UF and UM. I've noticed PU texture in the game files but it's not used so I haven't touched it.

For Seasons EP, Eaxis recycled the BV sunburn texture. Overheated texture consists of universal scalp and universal face texture, plus four body textures: PU, CU, UF and UM, all of these are used (children and toddlers in TS2 might get overheated but are much more resistant to extreme weather than teens/adults).

My replacement has no redness on the scalp and nose. The body txtr was desaturated, made more transparent and darker, otherwise it's unchanged.

Some crunchiness cannot be avoided with transparent body overlays, especially with light-on-dark - there's always gonna be artifacts, even if actual texture looks ok. But I'm sure you'll argee it's way better than original.

Pic above: Sunburn & overheating. Fun! 🤪

New casual outfit for TS2. Knit cardigan mesh by me, combined with 4t2 Discover University Frayed Jeans mesh converted by @vulrien-sims (edit) and s3t2 cowboy boots converted by Yuxi (edited).

🍂Off Shoulder Cardigan & Skinnies

for AF, recolors EF - enabled

Download (SFS) Polycount: 6033, all morphs

I've re-used texture from Tantra's turtleneck recolors by io / @serabiet

More under the cut:

*This is for The Sims 2

Initially I've modelled the cardigan to be a top but I didn't like the results so I turned it into an outfit instead.

Each cardigan recolor comes with repositoried version / different top. Jeans/boots and top are separate from the cardigan, all pull textures from the mesh file so there's no texture redundancy.

You can easily switch denim recolors and lacey top recolors in SimPe - I've included TXMT resources for that.

Laced top is based on TS2 nightie texture.

I've shared textures / creator resources here (SFS)

*I've edited Yuxi's 3t2 cowboy boots shape to my liking, UVs have been moved so these are not compatible with original 3t2 texture.

FYI Turtleneck part is not compatible with io's textures for Tantra's turtleneck.
