Im crying at this video from the bonus dvd, from the little queue icons showing to the whole vibe of the thing. im in love. also Evil Vengeful PT9 confirmed (i cant blame him)

Brand new piece of my collection. I've already said this before but letting me have disposable income is a curse

[simpuke]

update it simply worked fine on another computer :p its a silly little bodyshop demo, I'm a bit sad because there are screensavers included in the wallpapers but they don't work! Let me have my ts2 screensaver.

I recently got my very first job and it's at McDonald's and it's absolutely draining any shred of will to live I had BUT. now I have disposable income and well. We all know what that's means.

Here's my most recent purchase, a demo disc for ts2. I think it's supposed to be a cas demo, but Sadly I don't know because it simply won't work. The disc is in immaculate condition but the program refuses to work on my computer, neither on windows or on Linux. There's probably a way to make it work and I'm gonna find out!!!

(also, the picture is taken with an A550 powershot that I got from the thrift store for 15 euro, just to stay somewhat period accurate.)

MODDERS WANTED!

Maxis lost and found: Sims 2 werewolf faces?

Nope, I didn't use any custom face templates or sliders to make this render. This werewolf face IS in the game! Once again, nothing to download here, at least not for now. Hopefully we can make this an actual thing. All the details and research under the cut 🐺

So I was digging through the Pets EP files the other day for a project I had in mind when I found these meshes:

The "Arch" in the name caught my attention, because that's how the CAS face templates are named as well, so when I loaded the preview I found these really cool werewolf faces!

That got me thinking… this was probably intended for the werewolf transformations, right? Looks like the devs scrapped this idea on the final Pets release. @/hypersaline already restored the werewolf fangs, and I was wondering if it would be possible to restore these faces too.

Are "temporary face sliders" overlays even a thing in this game? The closest interaction I can think of is the Plastic Surgery station and its preset faces for the failed surgeries, but those just create a new face in the genetic data of the Sim, which is permanent unless the player gives them another plastic surgery session. The ideal thing would be morphing the face with these "sliders" when they transform into werewolves, and then remove them once they go back to their human shape.

Anyway, I figured I could extract the meshes and see if I could preview the faces in Blender just to showcase them. The files are pretty broken, they don't even have a UV map and the vertex order is all over the place. So after some tedious vertex snapping shenaningans I kinda remade them in Blender. Here's how they all look, compared to the base second face template in the game:

Adult Female Face (afArchLycan):

Adult Male Face (amArchLycan):

Teen Female Face (tfArchLycan):

Teen Male Face (tmArchLycan):

No elder faces as far as I know, and obviously children werewolves aren't a thing in the vanilla game.

The modding skills needed to restore something like this (if it's even possible) are way out of my scope. So yeah, if any modder knows a trick or two about how to implement this face transformation back in the game and feels brave enough to give this a try, please count me in! My DMs are open. I'll be more than happy to help with anything I'm able to on the meshing department 🙇‍♂️

Until then, at least here's a showcase archived of what could have been for Sims 2 werewolves 🌝

Does anyone know anything about the mobile version of ts2 pets? I discovered about its existence because it was mentioned on the cover of a ts2 demo disc that I bought, but this is the only trace of it existing that I've found:

I'm wondering if there's any kind of gameplay of it out there

[simpuke]

I have a concept I want to draw but I need to ask for help for my fellow ts2 friends, in my game Ripp, Jonah, Roxie and Gunnar from the uni DLC used to have a band but I never actually gave them a name... Any suggestions for a band name? :')

does anyone have any idea on why my game refuses to work properly with custom content

it doesnt make sense at all: im using a backup of my downloads folder that i had uploaded on google drive, but it seems like the game is just refusing to recognize most things on that folder, and it seems compltely random! did anyone else experience something like this?

[simpuke]

Tragedy averted, I managed to find an actual working backup. I also have a backup of my downloads folder... But the clutter folder is empty =(

And the actual issue: for some reason build/buy and cas cc isn't working. It was such a jumpscare to load my families. I'm so insanely rusty I hate it here...

(obviously I checked "enable custom content"!)

I will actually go insane, I wanted to play my megahood on my laptop and discovered that for some reason my last backup from 2022 on google has the lots folder completely empty. And the only other one I have on drive is from 2021...

Why.

[📗] Early St. (1/?): Nervous arriving at the Beakers' house to work as an experimental subject.

I go into more detail about this Hc in this post.

The Nervous on his back (?) is Hidden Nervous and the pinkface Nervous is the playable Nervous

SOOO, I was in a dilemma about finishing all the drawings I have of Early Strangetown and uploading them in the same post, but I decided that it would be better to do it separately.

i had been putting this drawing off since December 2023, but recently i decided to go back to it and here it is!1!1!

Yeaaaaa 😏😏😏😏

Three Years Later...

[simpuke]

I made my family in ts2 and I watched in horror as social services took away my child simself.

The earliest memory of the sims you have. On your mark, get set...go!

[simpuke]

Watched Asteroid City with my boyfriend at the movie theater and I kept saying "omg this looks just like strangetown in the sims 2" sooo many times (he literally doesn't know what " a strangetown" is)

[simpuke]

the curious (vidcund) family cassandra divorced don after she caught him cheating and married vidcund. for some reason. i think that they work surprisingly well together

[simpuke]

I need to find as much info as I can about simAntics. Apparently it works somewhat like assembly... Why would the devs do that to themselves💀

[simpuke]

kitten rotation forever ever
