The Sims 2 For Rent - CC EXPANSION PACK
Sul Sul!
~ More photos under the under the cut ~
Last week the Sims 4 got a new pack, this week Sims 2 players get that same pack! In a collaboration with @platinumaspiration and @tvickiesims and a HUGE assist from @episims, we bring you "The Sims 2 For Rent CC Expansion Pack!"
This is a large set, and advisable that it does not get merged even further than it already is! - I ran into some issues when trying to do this!
When you explore this pack, please take a look at the marble ring rug, it has some surprisingly cute rug swatches! I put a swatch in it to remove the marbles themselves, so you have a cute small rug! - I only mention this as I was going to bin the rug off once uploaded, but then I found it had some lovely swatches!
FUNCTIONALITY
So most of the items will function as they should and intended as. Its just not just deco items.
There is two collection files included, separated into build buy! Please note that fences and stairs and spandrels cant be but into a collection!
The squatty toilet that took me over 12 hours to make, yeah they squat, animation can be a bit bouncy but such is life. This toilet also can be flushed, get dirty and is cleanable!
Outdoor plants are seasonal!
Counters are animated with insides built, there is no drawer on the counter, I did not want to change the shape of the unit, and saw EA did the same - ignore the fact they grab something from a non existent drawer
Wardrobes have interiors elements, and have working doors!
Each Kettle have two versions, choose only one, one for the colour traits mod / one 'normal'. They function as Tea makers! Huazzah!
Spandrels in build mode are classified as fences. I made a variant with fence / no fence.
Several of the larger deco pieces such as the Arch Gate, or umbrella are actually lights!
Radiators act like radiators!
The Aircon Unit is completely functional, doesn't lower bills, but it does lower sims temperatures!
"Water Heaters" act like solar panels, they get money off your bills!
The Electrical Fuse box has 2 versions, I kept them both in, one wall deco and one functions as a burglar alarm - I wanted more alarms.
Most Sofas / Chairs have morphs!
Slots added to the Vanity and Bathroom Cabinet!
FENCES / SPANDRELS / STAIRS OH MY!
I have included swatch images of each of the spandrels, fences and stairs and labelled them to match, this is so that you can go in and take out any of the swatches you do not want. This is because there are lot of new fences and the menu can feel cluttered with them in for some people.

Since we're on the topic of video game hair, and how it takes different times and techniques to do different styles, I want to offer y'all just what Mr. Frontiers-Ravengard would be doing to his hair to have the style Larian gave him:
This is the flat twist style he has in game (this was so hard to find for me lmao):
How to do two strand Flat twists (what would have been easier):
Now mind you, even he mentions that if you want "sleek" flat twists vs more voluminous ones, you have to blow dry! The first video also showed her hair blowdried.
Same idea with cornrows; it's possible to do with and without blowdry.
These are smaller than Wyll's so there's more work, but simple, large ones (which is what they were probably going for anyway) wouldn't take too long to do on your own with moisture and a good comb.
Then how to do faux locs (which, again in my opinion 🙌🏾 is what both the base and the mods for this style in game look like):
This isn't the only way to do this btw, but I wanted y'all to notice the way they wrap the added hair to obtain that look. That's what I noticed that made me start seeing faux locs.
And real locs:
Now the palm rolling technique she's using, you might say "but Ice! That's twisting too!" Yes! But notice how, over time (look at the rest of her head) the "twist" fades as the loc buds. It doesn't maintain that "twist" look that faux locs do, bc faux locs are... Faux lol. They're fake! They're not going to start interlocking bc it's not real hair!
Now the reason I'm discussing all this is because even in a game as highly lauded and detailed as Baldur's Gate, even in this there were still some misunderstandings on how Black hair would look and function in a world where this guy is supposed to be hoofing it with urgency in the wild. Because if I were him, this would not be the style of choice for that 😅 But I get it, its supposed to be "D&D". Anyway, try noticing things like this, when you play your games (and when you make your characters!)

Myshuno Fixes
Now that we have a bingo default that makes its appearance more usable, I thought it would be nice to have the game function properly too 🙃
The main issue with the unmodded version of this object is:
1) it fills your sim's whole fun bar within an in-game hour
2) sims quit the game after reaching max fun
This basically means that full games never occur. Sims appear indecisive about using the object too as they still might join playing when their fun bar is close to max, only to quit almost instantly.
This mod fixes these problems and improves various other aspects of the Myshuno game:
Players don't need to sit facing the bingo console anymore*
The fun gain from playing the game is greatly lower, elders still gain more fun from playing but the increase is moderate
Sims will only quit mid-game for a pressing reason (usually due to other motives dropping or the interaction being canceled)
Players sitting in dining booths no longer cause errors
Players sitting on dining chairs next to tables no longer stop the game from progressing
The advertising of all interactions is lower
The 'practice' interaction is not autonomous anymore
The caller winning anim is revamped so that it doesn't clip with dresses and works better with PF's default
*Sims use a new custom routing for finding a place to play. Playing is possible from chairs, barstools, armchairs, sofas, and dining booths located in the same room as the bingo console and within 10 tiles from it. Sims will choose a free seat close to the console unless their personality is on the shyer end, in which case they look for free seats far away from the console. Sims will stand if no seating is available.
Download (SFS) (alternate)
The file is compressed. Free Time is required as the object gives gaming enthusiasm.
🚨 This mod doesn't work with Myshuno replacements that include custom BHAVs for it. PF's default (obviously) is compatible.
The preview is by @pforestsims. Thank you for testing, too! Honorable mention to MogHughson whose TV routing code helped me to figure out how to make my own.

u know what i need, more fics mentioning crazycraft and one life and new life bcuz we always talking about evo but no one mentions how scott joel and lizzie have been playing modded death games for years
ppl always write joel and scott hating each other but they have been living on the same server for years, they have so much more history outside of the life series but only the interactions within it get mentioned
i want to see them as lifelong friends in modernized fics
i want to see them having casual aggressive banter that most would interpret as death threats but its just another tuesday for them
i want to see jimmy and joel know each other like the back of their hands
I WANT THEM TO MENTION THE 100 BABY CHALLENGE RN RIGHT HERE RN BRO

hello! i saw a post that some people apparently have used ai to "finish" wips that have been "left too long"... i don't think those people really care about blanket permission (tho i wouldn't call their output "transformative work") but it did come up on the post, so i thought maybe i should ask for clarification? because i personally understood that authors give permission under the assumption that a person would make a thing based on their thing, so i don't know if this should be a further disclaimer (like the goodreads thing) or if it should be taken for granted..
(not to mention that this isn't fic of a fic, its literally finishing someone's writing)
No, you should never do this. Author's put a lot into writing those works, using an A.I to finish them would never be the same as them finishing the fic. An A.I can only "add" from what it knows from scrubbing works that people do not consent to.
Do not use A.I to finish fics that authors abandoned or haven't finished. That is super disrespectful to them.
I understand wanting to see a fic finished and wanting to know the outcome but doing it with A.I would never fulfill that for you. It's merely guessing and adding from multiple different things/works that it's stolen from and might not even make sense. It doesn't know what direction the author was going in, it doesn't know the twists and turns the author was going to add, it doesn't know anything about the author.
An A.I generated fic is Completely Different from a fan-made art or fic based off your work. It's Completely Different than someone asking to finish your work themselves.
A.I is not a "cool way to finish unfinished fics" .
Please don't use A.I on fics just because you are curious about the ending.
It will never be the same as actual human writing. And it is super disrespectful to authors who put time and care into their work.
Sorry if this comes off annoyed, I just really don't like this whole A.I writing fanfic thing lol

BTs on reddit threw a temper tantrum and got a pride post with Buddie in it removed. And it's not like they excluded Tevan, in fact the image had them, positioned above Buddie, and yet, the mods of the 911 subreddit had to remove it bc of the toxicity and reports. Tell me now, is that not homophobic? Or are we still gonna pretend that they're the saintly victims.
I have tried to be respectful of their ship, bc it's fiction, anyone can ship any pairing, and especially when they're canon but this constant hostility towards Buddie and its fans is just heartbreaking and genuinely pisses me off. Which is made worse when they act like their faction has nothing to do with any toxicity in the fandom. It feels an awful lot like gaslighting.
Like, cut the bullshit and say what we all know already, y'all never really cared about getting queer Eddie, you needed Buck kissing a man, you have it, so Eddie's queercoding and the fact that a lot of lgbt people identify with him doesn't matter bc it comes in the way of your precious ship. In fact y'all go out of your way to shit on the headcannons about Buddie, which is sad bc most of BTs were in the same Buddie boat with the same damn headcannons, just two months ago.
I can't imagine being so fragile that they're so threatened by a non-canon ship, but I guess deep down they know that Eddie and Buck as a romantic couple will be far more well recieved than their barely developed ship and a guy who's always aloof whenever he's interacting with Buck. Not to mention Oliver's social media silence on Tevan speaks volumes, and that he actively engages with the Buddie crowd. Lol.
Edit: The drama can't be found on the main sub as it was deleted, but the pride post on r/Buddie has OP of that post and other members discussing it.
