I promised I won't do any more Bingo stuff but this lighted marquee sign is not directly related yes it is.

Roadside Arrow Sign Light

Download (SFS) Polycount: 982

forgot to give credit for the font: it's Simlish Lengiza by gazifu (MTS)

Enjoy!

*This is for The Sims 2

I also included 'Lite' mesh edit - it has no animated textures /and less resources so if you play on old laptop it might be more performance-friendly. You can use only one version.

Note to Mac users - this light is not mac-compatible, sorry.

Textures are 512x256 px - background/ metal parts, and 512x256 - transparent letters, plus a few tiny textures 128x64 px

Letters are a transparent overlay, this subset can be made opaque to cover the non-recolourable background.

Each recolor contains background texture but that part is not used. I wanted to make the lit background into 'slave subset' but for some reason I couldn't make it work :/

Font is Simlish Lengiza by Gazifu

Do you know other TS2 CC fences that reach down to ceiling level, like this one? I use it for raised skylights (it's great for that, unlike most fences - pic on the right).

*It's The 'Old Mason' Fence in Stone, by Holy Simoly /here/. Skylight is here.

[sims2backups]

Here are three Plutonium / Uranium Rod add-ons (require NightLife EP) and a few column recolors. Round neon fits Simply Round columns, Open For Business EP. Wave neons match the shape of Romanesque Connecting Column arches by @hugelunatic /and also non-recolourable 1-storey Romanesque arches from Uni EP/.

Polycount: 840 - round neon, 672 - wave neon. Romanesque Connecting Column Arch mesh (aka Richardsonian column) by HL is included - I've edited TXMTs for original recolors to enable light rendering (stdMatLightingEnabled was set to false).

Enjoy!

🌸 Soft Lip overlays (blushes)

Download (SFS) Texture size: 512x512 DXT5

*these go on top of supernatural skins /and most lipsticks. I also threw in forehead wrinkles I did recently.

Top pic features two overlays applied (s2 & s3). Single overlay is more transparent (lower left pic).

New ankle-high boots for TS2 ;D I've converted these from Splatoon 3 game.

🍂Desert Chukkas for AF - pantless bottom

Download (SFS)

All morphs. Polycount: 2690 (shoes: 2090 tris)

And also, this shoeswap. That's what I converted these shoes for:

🍂Worn Jeans & Desert Chukkas for AF*

Download (SFS) All morphs. Polycount: 3346

* Pant textures are repo'd ! Blue denim recolors require my Worn Jeans & Loafers mesh ! Black and grey require recolors 01 black and 02 grey. DL link (SFS).

Chukka shoes for AM are available as creator resource.

More under the cut:

*This is for The Sims 2

And I thought: 'this will be faster than making my own shoes' - I guess I'll never learn xD (here's original 3D model )

Splatoon games have loads of cool models so these are probably not the last shoes I've converted for TS2. But it takes a lot of time to do right.

Light tan is the original recolor, I've added the other three.

As mentioned above, Desert Chukkas 5gd mesh for AM is available as creator resource here (SFS) - a little larger than AF, not too much tho, 'cuz I think large shoes look absurd in TS2. These have bone assignments and are ready to use.

[sims2backups]

Here are five recolors for AmBodyVestTieBaggy [Glamour SP] - I've shared mesh tweak for it once and been planning to separate the edited pants 'cuz I'll never have enough jeans in my game.

Vest Tie Baggy outfit [GL] Recolors

and GL Baggy Jeans for AM*

Download (SFS)

GLBaggyJeans recolors are repo'd to outfit recolors.

Note: I've improved my VestTieBaggy mesh tweak since I shared it (the belt part was a bit distorted). If you'd like to update it, it's also included here.

*This is for The Sims 2

Archive contains PSD file with layers.

I'll probably go back to it at some point and improve the denim texture, 'cuz it is a bit too crunchy.

Three GLBaggyJeans recolors pull textures from original Glamour outfits.

An edit of the lovely candle set by BuggyBooz /or rather: an edit of this edit by @shastakiss . I've changed light settings to Ikea SP tealights. Edited meshes require IKEA SP!

BB Candid Candles - warm light mesh edits

Download (SFS)

Archive contains my small recolor pack - two brass shades and black & white candles. ❕ You'll need Standard Material Shader Edit by @crispsandkerosene to enable the texture glow effect, as I've used additive maps for candle recolors - and also added it to BB's original worn white candle texture. Be aware that CandK's shader edit clashes with other shader edits.

Original recolors for candid candle set by BuggyBooz (repositoried edit by Shasta) are available here (SFS).

More under the cut:

*This is for The Sims 2

So far Crispsandkerosene has shared two versions of their extended standard material shader edit, one includes bright CAS fix by LD, the other does not. Current versions conflict with Dreadpirate's shader edits - but CandK might share merged version at some point.

Pics above on the left: my white / black recolor without Standard Material shader edit. Pics on the right: shader edit present, additive maps work.

I've added additive maps to edited meshes - BB_CandidCandles_chandelier and BB_CandidCandles_3candlesticks. When you recolor these (candle subset), texture glow effect will be applied to new recolors.

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.

Garden Center Collection

A collection of 32 items converted from Sims 4 to help you decorate your garden centers and/or gardens.

Includes 10 functional planters (made to work with @honeywell-mts 's garden plot - and don't forget to grab this fix from @midgethetree), 3 functional end tables (2 slots each) and various clutter. Collection file is included.

A huge, giant THANK YOU goes to @lamare-sims who edited planters to make them even better 🥰

Polycounts and textures are very low and small, they are indicated directly in object's description in game.

If you need a garden center community lot - I have one here (cc free)😉

For more gardening cc, check out this set.

Compressed, clearly labelled, picture included.

UPDATE 02/03/2024

Got rid of dark spots on some planter meshes, deleted mipmaps, renamed some planters (4 plants became 5 plants for some because there are 5 slots), enabled quarter tile placement on some forgotten objects.

I recommend deleting your whole folder and replacing it with the new one.

4T2 Home Chef Hustle

Sul Sul!

Another day, another collab, more conversions!

Everything is converted from the Home Chef Hustle Stuff Pack from TS4, minus the tall hanging shelves, counters have interiors and are animated, fridge / sink / stove have joints or morphs etc. The mixer operates as a mixer! The shelf has no slots as its a light, BUT with shift anything, we don't really need them!

The food stand operates as a 3-tile table, so you can have one chair there and it not look weird, but has the normal table slots so you can place things on their and sell them!

The Cook Book, if placed on any surface, (minus the counters and islands) it can be used as a bookshelf.

Some items are repo'd to one another, they are in the same folders, my Sims4Shadow file is required, you only need one of these files in your downloads folder, but included just incase.

Waffle maker / pizza oven / scales are just deco.

Not compressed,

Collection file included,

Some reoclours are merged with meshes!

Big shout out to @lamare-sims, who has helped massively, thank you!

@sims4t2bb thank you for updating the database!

Real Animated Pets - Goat, Sheep and Llama

This project is our fruit of labour with @deedee-sims. I was looking for a way to have more "alive" pets in Sims 2 and approached DeeDee. Luckily for all of us, she liked the idea and helped me out with the most difficult parts. This project would not be possible without you, thank you DeeDee ❤️

From the technical point of view all animals are custom collars for large dogs (and only large dogs). In order for them to work as on previews, you need to assign your dog a transparent fur (a brand new creation by DeeDee that makes dogs' fur completely invisible, included in the archive) and then pick an animal skin you want from the collar section. If you'd like to change the appearance of an existing large dog, be sure to buy it a desired collar on a community lot first! Dog's breed is also important, it can make chubbier or thinner animals. If your fur doesn't look completely transparent, be sure to uncheck all the fur accessories. I'd recommend using a default white no name breed (looks best with animations).

Swatches:

We (especially DeeDee! ❤️) did our best making new animals move as smoothly as possible, but be aware that clipping is still present in certain animations. Also, these animals behave and sound like normal dogs. Hopefully we'll find a way to mute them in the future.

Animals come with a set of objects that are more appropriate for farm animals - new bed, toy, 2 "bowls" and deco hay. Objects have morphs and dirty states. Note that the feeders works like a pet bowl meaning they will randomly rotate but it won't prevent pets from eating normally.

All animals come with original Sims 4 textures (1024x1024 for llama and 512x512 for goat and sheep), converted and tweaked by me. Animal colors are separated so you can pick and choose only the ones you want. Collection file for objects is included. I also recommend these and these Uldum rug add-ons (if you want other sizes for the hay overlay).

Polycount: Goat: 3793 Sheep: 3545 Llama: 7133

A special thank you goes to @platinumaspiration for the time and energy she spent explaining additional stuff to me ❤️

@atomtanned made cute llama recolors, here.

UPDATE 10/10/2023

Changed pet toy animation to silent chewy one (thank you @vegan-kaktus and @executables-sims), the archive was updated but if you don't want to redownload the whole thing, here's only the updated toy.

UPDATE 12/10/2023

Added a new feeder - prarie grass converted from Sims 4 Horse Ranch. Now your new pets can feed on the fresh grass. Collection file was updated too.

UPDATE 17/02/2024

Fixed toy's thumbnail - it's no longer empty. Added a custom version for the hay rug, I'd recommend using a custom rug rather than ULDUM because it has no outdoor shadow (ULDUM can't be fixed). Updated the collection file to include new rug.

UPDATE 05/09/2024

Updated Prairie Grass Feeder to have smoother edges. It looks much nicer now.

Kiwisim4 Spoopy Piano 4t2 Conversion

It's the spooky season and this piano looked as a perfect project 🎃

And you know I love me new pianos 🎹

This is a conversion of a Spoopy Piano by @kiwisim4.

Comes with all the original recolors (16 of them). The candles are a separate object repositoried to piano and function as a light (found under lighting-misc), they slot on the piano without cheats. Texture size is 1024 (lowered from 2048).

Polycount: Piano: 2066 Candles: 980

Repair animation will look weird because there's no separated upper lid (it's blocked with candles ;))
