Red Brick Ranch

This right here is my childhood Christmas: a wood paneling, artificial tree, opening presents on shaggy carpeted floors kind of Christmas. This particular simple ranch home isn't based on either of my grandparents' homes, but it might as well be. I've made divinity in that kitchen. I've watched the snow fall out that picture window.

Ranch homes get a lot of slack for their datedness and lack of character. But I'm here to defend them, especially at Christmas. In fact I almost called this one Rudolph the Red-Nosed Ranch, but that felt a little too on the nose. They might not be anyone's Pinterest-perfect dream home, but as home ownership becomes more and more unobtainable, a simple ranch starter home might just be your dream come true. That goes double for disabled folks, or older folks aging in place, as their single-story floor plan makes them one of the most accessible types of homes available!

This home might be perfect for: a single mom who works two jobs, grandparents (mine, specifically, but also maybe your sim's?), sims that use mobility aids, in your story or in actual gameplay, should we ever get such a thing, or developers looking to paint some brick, slap down millennial gray laminate floors, and flip this bad boy...

Lot details:

Lot Type: Residential (3 bed, 2 bath)

Price: §33,470

Size: 40x30

Location: Miner Mansion, Evergreen Harbor

I’ve used from all packs freely here. As always, no CC!

BYEAH! A Jerma985 Tank Top

Hi, this is my first ever piece of cc, some Jerma tank tops for Jermamite simmers! This is a re-texture of the base game punk tank top without the sheer undertop underneath.

I uploaded pics of these vests a week ago, and a few people wanted to download them. The only problem was that the original mesh I used wasn't mine, and it was packaged in with an NSFW mod... and I didn't want people to have to download an NSFW mod JUST to be able to download this vest......... so I spent my week learning how to make my own mesh (or in this case, alter an EA mesh) so I could put this out!

I realised over this past week that I really enjoy making my own cc and I wanna do it more often, so I made a Patreon page and a dedicated sims Tumblr to do so! Not sure what direction I wanna take my cc in and how often I'll upload, but I'll try and put more stuff out soon :]

Base Game Compatible

10 Swatches (5 White, 5 Black)

EA Mesh Edit

Admittedly maybe a bit rough around the edges as I'm only learning :0

Looking for Advent Calendar background image submissions from you!

For my annual Advent Calendar, I am looking once again for submissions! Create your most beautiful wintery landscape, cozy fireplace scene, Christmas Market spirit, or anything else that represents the coziness of the season to you! Keep in mind that people will likely see it several times, so maybe you want to focus on telling a story within the image or add little details that people can discover. But you do you! I very much appreciate your submissions! Thank you for helping me make my Adcant calendar extra special! Please read all of the terms and instructions before you submit! Thank you!

the scene should be either wintery, festive, or both

the scene can be futuristic, fantastic, historical, contemporary, whatever you like!

it should be made with/in the Sims 3 (you can also make a render if it is based on Sims 3 meshes)

Keep in mind that the doors will be placed onto the image and may partly obscure the image. Details at the edges of the image might get cut off, depending on the user's display settings.

the image should be 1920x1080 pixels or bigger (if you really want to submit but have a smaller resolution, talk to me, I'm sure we can work something out)

please make sure that you upload the image submission in a way that does not reduce the size or compress the image (the tumblr dm's will reduce it, so please upload it to a photo or file hoster.)

I will reserve the right to do some editing in terms of colors or lightness or maybe smooth out some jagged seams. I may also use an AI-based upscaler to increase its size to support more screen sizes.

You can edit the image yourself before you submit

If possible, please please turn on edge smoothing/antialiasing before you take screenshots, or use reshade to smooth the edges.

You can use Custom Content (even my own😋)

if I get several submissions, which I count on, I will do my best to divide the time justly so every picture gets equal "screen time". However, I cannot guarantee it.

please let me know how you want to be referred to in terms of credit. I will add your credit directly in the image so people know it is yours! If you want to use your blog handle, I will refer to it as @ tumblr, for example.

Please submit by November 28 if you can manage. I do accept late submissions under special circumstances, just talk to me :)

I will only use the images as a Calendar background, for nothing else

Please only submit images if you are okay with all the terms!

If you have any questions, let me know either in the comments of this post or in the dm's/tumblr chat.

Katsu's alternative Afterglow Palette

as I mentioned in my last post, I made a lil alternative hair colour palette. Before I got into Afterglow, I really wanted to try out @0201-sims VK actions, as I love the idea of a visual kei inspired hair colour pallete. But I got into afterglow, so forgot about it for a while! Then when I was ill and making a bunch of sims and downloading a bunch of CC recently, I thought that I wished I had a secondary family of naturals to chose from, as when I was using Pooklet's colours I used 2, one being what my DRs were in, and the other being just another option. So I tried out the VK actions, but wasn't 100% happy with how some of them looked on Afterglow textures. Afterglow has a subtle, silky shine (which is what converted me, aha) that can easily become flat looking with certain colour actions applied- so I trialed some other colours I like and this is what I came up with!

The colours and why I chose them:

It's a mix of Cassis' VK actions and @digisims2 Ephemera Inspired Color actions. Cassis' Aliene is a much cooler (as in cooler tone) and slightly more unnatural, alternative looking black than Poppet's, which fits well with the Vkei theme. I knew I wanted cooler, but the green undertones are really striking! Basier is used as the red rather than the brown, its the main one I wanted as it reminded me of when I was a teenager and took a picture of Hizaki to the hairdresser as a reference photo. I suppose you could call it a strawberry-esque colour, its very fun. For blond and brown I picked out a couple of Digi's Ephemera colours that were dissimilar from the colours already included in afterglow naturals, and Digi's always been an inspiration for me in my CC making journey, as well as Ephemera, so it seemed only fitting. The main idea I wanted to get accross with the main 4 colours is hair that has clearly been dyed, but in natural types of colours, maybe for alternative types of sims, aha. For the grey I knew I wanted something richer and warmer, so went with @blackswan-sims Pipe Bomb x Finade mix, which I have had saved by for a while because it intrigued me so much! Finally I'm adding just one unnatural because I missed having a bright pink option, and this was the hardest to pick out. I went through a lot of options before landing on ol' reliable @pooklet, in Pentolite. It's warm but not too red, and doesn't blast out all the subtle detail. So yea, the main purpose of this alternative selection is to suit my game with a lot of late 90s FRUiTS and other Japanese street style inspired fashion ૮ ˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶ ა

That may be too much information/explaination on my choices there, I'm mainly just excited to show you all these colours!

As much as I just picked these out because I liked and wanted to use them, anyone else is welcome to try this alt palette; but I don't expect others to like or use them, or for them to be a norm amongst afterglow creators. Besides these being maybe a bit of an odd choice- having one family of naturals makes CC creation easier, cuts down on the size of your downloads folder, and keeps your bodyshop neat! Nothing wrong with that, I'm just someone who's a lil over the top with these types of things I suppose, aha.

If you do want to use them, I'm uploading them as a set of actions for PS:

Download my Afterglow Alternative Palette actions

I didn't alter the original creators actions at all, just bundled them together- which means they may not work on all versions of Photoshop. I've included individual swatches in the file with the creators names so they can be found easily!

Intended to be run over Afterglow but would work on any volatile base. Check @the-afterglow-archive for more Afterglow ₊˚⊹♡

I'll be posting anything I make with these colours to this tag!

Cyberpunk Edgerunners: David Martínez (Sims 4)

Updated hair ⭐

CC + recolours and info download below My other Cyberpunk character recreations 🌙🌙🌙 LUCY EDGERUNNERS 🌙🌙🌙 V 💛 Jackie and Misty 💛 Rita Wheeler (NPC) 💛 Goro Takemura 💛 Lizzy Wizzy 💛 My sims Cyberpunk inspired content My CP 2077 (non sims) photos

REFERENCE

So I just finished Edgerunners, I mean I could tell it was gonna end badly (as in it is sad not badly made) from the Easter egg in the game and the endings we get there. I'll admit I didnt find it easy to binge watch but I've finally watched it and love the aesthetics of some of the characters so maybe I'll do more. I inspired the jacket more on the in game version, with the labels and everything. Had to place the sleeve labels on different place and take some creative liberties but mostly it's as accurate as I could get it. I didn't remove the normal spec or shadow.

David Martínez CC: DOWNLOAD (don't forget original meshes or it won't work)

Jacket is a recolour of @darte77 's Cyberpunk Jacket. You need the MESH (only need Darte77_m_Top22aHQ). Included a version with light emission and without. It was my first time doing this and I couldn't get it to flash slowly so if it bothers you get the normal version :) I know some areas could be better but I did my best with my limited CC creating knowledge.

Pants also my recolour of the same creator as the jacket, you need the MESH also. (Darte77_04pantsHQ.package)

Shoes are just a recolour of base game sneakers.

I updated the hair! I found this archived version of his hair as the original creator site was deleted.

"Cyberware" was "painted" by me and random Sandevistan image tattoo included. Again, I did my best 😅I know it's all a bit meh and someone else could probably do it better but the cyberpunk sims community is way to niche and past trend. I copied the pattern from some Cyberpunk2077 cc images, not the anime, and I made up some of the geometry because it was a nightmare 😂 It is in the upper back tattoo category.

Necklace is this by @gorillax3-cc though I can't find the one necklace version so maybe it's included?

Eyes are these by @Pixelore No uploading behind paywalls, including in sim downloads especially behind paywalls, reuploading (if there's something wrong with the link lemme know), claiming as yours or making this inaccessible in any way. Feel free to use it for whatever screenshot/video or improve or edit it for other cc and link back to this post + other creators💛

A Distant Glacier by MySimRealty

Are you looking for a world to play a colder-climate scenario in? This might be a good one. It's an old world, from 2010, so from before the Seasons EP, but the terrain painting and roads and whatnot are such that about 1/3 of the playable part of the world is always snow-covered, and there's also frost in the terrain painting of the green parts.

MySimRealty is one of my favorite world creators, and if you are familiar with this creator's other, newer worlds, you'll definitely recognize the rudiments of her style in this world. That said, this world isn't available on her site. I'm not sure why. I think it's a pretty cool (no pun intended) little world, so I can't see how she'd be unhappy with it. I thought maybe it might have some major, unresolved playability issues, but I had NRaas Story Progression create and move in 12 families and let the world run for five simdays to see if there'd be any issues, and there were none. Not a single one, not even a single stuck sim. The only issue I noticed during that time was some oddly-parked food trucks. They'd park across the streets, so that they look like they'd be blocking traffic going both ways, though of course taxis drive right through them. That aside, everything ran smoothly, and my sim and others had no problems using anything on the community lots.

So, I can't figure out why this world isn't out there anymore. In fact, I'm not even sure where I got it. If I had to guess, it's probably on one of the Russian re-upload sites, but I'm not feeling like looking through them to find it, which is why the title of the post isn't a link this time. Instead, I just reuploaded a .world file here or here, so if you want it, get it at one of those links. If you download it, the file goes in your install files under GameData - Shared - NonPackaged - Worlds.

The world only requires Ambitions and Riverview. There's no Store content aside from Riverview items and no CC. It's 1024x1024, but the playable area is only about half of that. It has all of the base game rabbitholes and all basegame and Ambitions lot types. (The firehouse is EA; the others are original.) It has all of the spawners that existed as of Ambitions, except the WA fish ones.

The world has about 80 lots total, split pretty evenly between community and residential. There are 18 empty lots. One of the community lots is built but empty inside, so it's ready to become whatever. Maybe a bar or club or arcade, or it might be good to use as shops if you use a merchant mod. All of the built residential lots are fully-furnished and ready to go. A few of them are duplicates, but they are all original builds, and the majority of them have at least two bedrooms. Two of the residential lots are "apartments," but since the world pre-dates Late Night, they don't function like Late Night apartments. I imagine you could make them do so it if you add the necessary markers.

There is a thread on the official forums from August of 2010 about testing this world here. Some of the issues mentioned in that thread -- particularly trees which have branches that intrude into houses and that can't be removed -- still exist, but they aren't really a problem in terms of playing.

More info and pictures behind the cut!

Here we have map view and Edit Town view of the entire playable area of the world. As you can see, it's split into three sections. There's the "glacier" in the middle, which is permanently snow-covered, and there are the two green areas. The one on the left has most of the rabbitholes. Residential lots are scattered throughout all three areas.

Here are some of the residential lots in various parts of the world:

Most of the houses have exteriors that are a combination of wood and stone in natural colors, which is appropriate for a colder climate. Personally, although they're pretty to look at, I'd get rid of the ever-blooming flowers and flowering shrubs and switch out most of the really green deciduous trees for more conifers, or maybe some birches/aspens, on the residential lots as well as throughout the world. That would make it look more authentically like a colder/taiga biome. But maybe that's just me.

Now for some community lots:

This is a little laundromat. The salon and the consignment shop look a lot like it, with the same roof and the same brick exterior. Also, the laundromat, salon, and consignment shop are all about the same size.

This is the larger of the two gyms in the world. I'm not sure why the world has two gyms, but there's this one, which is in the part of the world that has most of the rabbitholes, and then there's a smaller one just outside the stadium rabbithole in the other green section of the world. I guess the smaller one is convenient for those in the sports career, so maybe that's why there are two gyms.

This is the library that, for some reason, has a really tall roof. I'd lower that sucker by quite a bit. :) Then, on the left side of the pic is a small art gallery.

This is a little chapel. Inside it has some chairs, a stereo, and a fridge. Up front is a table that I guess is supposed to be an altar. It doesn't have a wedding arch. (Did the game not have wedding arches prior to Generations? I can't remember off the top of my head.) You could add an arch and maybe the podium from University Life to make it more church-y, but there isn't a whole lot of room inside or outside, so I don't think you could make it into a proper "wedding venue."

The junkyard and the graveyard.

This is my testing sim using the public pool. I'm thinking that I'd get rid of this lot (as well as the private pools that some of the houses have) because...Well, cold climate. LOL There is an indoor pool at the large gym which can serve the community's swimming needs. I suppose you could pretend that these are hot spring pools, but, as a person who lives in a cold climate, I can say that outdoor non-hot-spring pools aren't really a thing because you can only use them for maybe a few weeks out of the year. :)

This is the grocery rabbithole, which has a community garden on the same lot, which is an interesting idea.

The world also has several parks/playgrounds, a beach, a few fishing spots, and the EA fire station from Ambitions.

And I think that's all I have to say. We'll finish out with some random pics. :)

[cringefail-clown]

so tired. i play the sims like once every blue moon mainly to build stuff, and looking for inspo pics - especially on pinterest - became nigh impossible because of the ai slog that keeps getting uploaded there by peabrained techbros. like 70% of results from searches are infested with those illogical, physically impossible, shitty looking images. today i needed to find some reference pics of sci-fi spaceship bridges for the artwork im working on and, once again, everything is just artificially generated trash

and its not good and never will be because those ai engines techdudes get their dicks wet over simply cannot comprehend things like perspective, or basic composition - its a fucking program that bases its results on a bunch of ones and zeros and gets to the answer in the most straightforward way possible, making a shitton of mistakes anyone can spot easily

and on one hand its annoying as fuck and i roll my eyes so hard i can almost see god when i spot yet another piece of shit ai image in the wild, but i am also filled with this grim satisfaction, waiting for this whole thing to fall apart. cause it will. the more ai images get shit out into the world wide web, the more ai programs which scour websites add those already artificially generated bullshit into their databases, the more it becomes obvious what is and isnt gen ai. same mistakes get made, same words and phrases get used in essays. its a beautiful cycle of artificial intelligence cannibalising itself ouroboros style, and im patiently waiting until there are only ashes of anime waifus with three boobs and two fingers too many left

in the meantime, what can we actually do to find good references? simple, truly - follow real fucking creators. look at their portfolios, personal websites. there are a ton of folks putting out pose packs for you to use, even completely for free. you can try posing yourself! put your phone in a position you want the perspective of the pose to be in, start recording a video and just do a few poses - references like that are honestly even better than still images you can find online. look through sites like artstation for concept artists who do background work, 3d art etc and get inspired by those folks. maybe purchase artbooks that might interest you, if youve got the money for it. hell, find creators on youtube who actually do things that youre interested in drawing, be it archery poses, or hairstyles, watch and study their videos!

sites like pinterest are convinent, thats true, but at this point in time they become more and more unreliable. find creators you can trust, follow them, study from them. we have to support one another. decentralize your own online experience

[lraerosesims]

Hey, hi, hello, greetings, sul sul!

So I know I've been a little quiet lately on the Sims CC front, so I thought I'd update you all on what stage I'm up to on each project:

1. The Elderwood Manor Build

I was working on testing this build for functionality etc, and tried to test in different spots in the neighbourhood, and that's when I discovered some broken terrain in the back of the lot (where the terrain slopes from road height to the beach). I've tried to fix it, haven't had any success yet. So I may end up having to either:

Do more heavy research on how to repair just the broken part - putting off uploading it until fixed, or

Remaking the build as close as possible to how it currently looks but on a flatter beach lot to avoid breaking terrain

Either way, it's unfortunately not ready to post for you all to enjoy just yet, I'M SORRY!!! 😭😭😭 I was really hoping to post it but I'd rather not give you guys a broken lot.

I haven't made basically any progress on this outfit since I last shared a texture WIP here. No excuse really, just taking on too much for my little pea-sized brain to handle and can feel the ADHD burnout creeping in so I don't wanna push myself too hard. Making my CC textures is exhausting, and takes a very big toll on ye olde✨mental✨ so I promise it will get done, but I just require some time to recharge so that way I can share the best possible retextures for you all to enjoy.

2. The Harlow Jumpsuit outfit

This one is about 75 to 80% complete. It's another very time consuming project, with the screen recording, video editing, voice over recording, blah blah blah. The biggest problem I have is that I feel the need to announce when I'm working on something (to build interest and anticipation for what's to come) but then take ages to finish it - which leaves people wondering if I'm just full of shit or actually going through with it 😂😂but I promise the tut is happening still!

3. Retexturing YouTube Tutorial

Don't expect this one anytime this decade🤣 I have no idea what I'm doing so I'm winging it entirely. Watch this space though, because who knows maybe I'll just magically find the willpower and mental capacity to figure it all out.

4. Stretched earlobe mesh

And...5. Whatever this hair is

So I did a recolour of a base game hair to make an undercut bun hairstyle (that's accurate to my real life five-head)...not sure if anyone would ever even want this in their game. So far I haven't gotten around to binning it, or even making it in different hair colours. It's also just using a Maxis texture I stole from a different hair and reworked to fit this one. But anyway, that one...exists...for some ungodly reason 😅😂

If you read this far, and haven't given up on me or this page yet then I'm eternally grateful (and slightly confused, but I won't question your intentions 😝)

To be honest with you all, I've got a heap of stressful shit going on in the real worldz right now so bear with me and I'll eventually work through the current projects I'm yet to finish.

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤 - L'Rae

MrsleeSanders Save File 1.0

Hey Guys, this is my first savefile, all the builds that i used are from the gallery, cause i can´t build and i just remember that i used builds from fleuralia ahah. ( i have adhd don´t mind me)

The townies are both mine and from the gallery, i used sims from:

Browniethegoat

Alexis Vr

@simsontherope

I can´t remember all of them, but you will see the names from the creators in the descriptions, and all of the sims that i have in the save file have jobs and skills.

And the townies have makeovers too from the gallery.

I don't have the worlds all made, just this ones, but i will update the other worlds too:

- Willow Creek

- Oasis Springs

- Granite Falls

- Tartosa

- Cooperdale

- Magnolia Promenade

- Windenburg

- Forgotten Hollow

- Glimmerbook

- San Sequoia

- Moonwood Mill

i don´t have any stories for them, cause i tought this save file could be like a starter save file with a lot of townies, and i created it too cause i love a lot of the save files that i find here but they are always laking something that i want. And i wanted it to be something that you can use your imagination too , i want to see your takes on the families that are in the game, like the way you see them.

If you want to have your families and townies in my save file, upload them with #mrsleesanderstownies and please don´t use any cc.

Maybe some of the sims in my save file won´t look pretty with your defaults because i use:

Skin: Marigold from @llumisims

Eyes: Dolce eyes V2 from @wrixie

PS: I used all the pack, but if you want i can make a starter base game save file with a lot of townies for your sims to be friends with.

I hope you have fun with this save file.

Please tell me if you liked the save!

PS: The only mods that i used were mccommandercenter and life decider.

@maxismatchccworld @savythatsimmeryt @projectsims4filesave

Btw a lot of the builds were made with bb.moveobjects on, so don't forget to use it

If you use this save file please show me 😊

This save file was inspired by: @maybe-emily @fleuraliasave @lostinsophiesave @lostinsophie @ratboysims save files.

PS: If you see townies and builds that are yours and don't have the name please dm me so i can update it.

PS: Neighborhood Stories are on, so the families might have dogs and babies, and therefore the houses may not be ready to receive them

In the next update some of the already in game families will get an update again

[draco-vs-decoy]

A lot of my old production art is not present on this blog, and it's time to change this! Initially Draco vs Decoy appeared as a much more emotional story, with very similar themes to Blue Sky's (RIP)/Netflix's Nimona. Maybe someday I'll return to these concepts, but not today alas!

From that story, Draco v Decoy then turned into a montage-based skit about the dragon and the princess going fishing and ultimately getting the DNR called on them. A partial animatic exists for this which I may upload to youtube, but it is very much unfinished. When I screened this short to family and friends, the response I got was... less than desired... yeah. Most people laughed but, were left very confused by the ending in particular. This paired with the ambitious scope of the project (water sims, EWWWW) was enough for me to rework it again. I have gotten much better responses since the final rework of the story, alongside crunching down the scope even more.

ANYWAYS! Here's some old production artwork that didn't make the cut, enjoy!

Also literally the plot-

Test of Time challenge: the end of prehistory

I've been dithering about the Roman era. The original ruleset calls for you to play the prehistoric era for three generations, which makes sense because it gives you time to build up population and spread out, but MAN that's a long time to keep doing the farming/fishing gameplay and continue to have babies nonstop. The original ruleset also has you figure out the social classes for the Roman era based on skincolor with the Imperial family being white, and.... eurgh. No thank you.

The Pleasantsims ruleset removes that, and calls for the Roman era to begin when the first grandchild reaches adulthood. I'm not totally sure that's been playtested, for a couple of reasons. I'm only slightly past that point, and in my neighborhood half the sims are first cousins; adding in social-class restrictions on marriage is going to make it very difficult for this generation to get married under the game's unmodded rules, where only second cousins are fair game. Most of the Sims with more limited ties to the largest families are shaking out to be lower class. After the grandchildren of the founders have grown, married, and reproduced, it makes more sense - their children will have second cousins.

The Pleasantsims edits also don't really address some ambiguities of the rules. You're supposed to have sort of a societal pyramid; the Imperial family at the top is the smallest, there are more patricians than that, more plebeians than patricians, and the biggest group would be the lowest class (called servants in the Pleasantsims rules, slaves in the original, and in historical Rome I believe there would have been a lot of freed former slaves included.) But you're also supposed to assign rank based on collective net worth, and my richest family is also the most populous, which is pretty natural. The original rules solved that by taking skin color into account - by that set of rules, only the richest white people were in the running for the uppermost classes, and you could divide up the family's net worth accordingly. But... eurgh. So the revised rules need to explain how you solve for that, and they don't.

And then there's the stuff the rules just didn't touch in either version: I've got one married lesbian couple, and I don't know where they'd fall under the very default-het, male-dominated assumptions of the original rules (where a woman takes her husband's name on marriage, etc.) I've been following loose primogeniture, with wives taking their husband's names and sons taking over as heir, and the younger partner takes the older partner's name in cases of same-sex marriage.

The rule I eventually settled on was "add up everyone's net worth, divide by number of family members to determine wealth per capita, then assign classes accordingly," and that does in fact let me work out the social classes in terms of size and wealth.

It doesn't let me work out marriages quite so easily. I originally intended to play for another whole generation - either "first great-grandchild becomes an adult" or "first grandchild dies," or maybe "first grandchild becomes elder" - so I'd have second cousins to work with, and a deeper population pool. But oh my god I am tired of endless pregnancies, fishing, and no bookcases. I have a novel-writing default I want to upload! I was going to hold out until the last of my founders died but Min just will not cooperate. He's 113 and he's knocked up one of his two girlfriends again. This is what happens when you name a founder after a permanently-erect fertility deity. So as of the end of my current rotation, we're becoming Rome, for the sake of my sanity.

(If I play this challenge over again, I'll probably treat the population as being conquered by Rome at this point, and the richest and most powerful locals become Romanized aristocracy, which I believe was what tended to happen in conquered territories (I mostly know about Roman Britain) rather than having them just... transmogrify into Rome. But for now I'm just dressing everyone in new CC, building some villas and taking out the palm trees. Though Roman Britain would also work better with the rules calling for all four seasons to be reinstated; p. sure actual Rome does not get icy, snowy winters too often. They're more of the "Spring, Summer, Summer, Fall" seasonal rotation I'm used to here in Southern California. That's why Roman soldiers on Hadrian's Wall were always sending letters home like "holy shit it's freezing here send me socks.")

So I'm going to have some first-cousin marriages in this generation. I know a lot of players get grossed out when second cousins are into each other, in an unmodded game. But... these are Romans. They married their cousins all over the place. Claudius and Agrippina were uncle and niece - much to everyone's disgust, it's true, but they still went through with it.

Get to know you: Sims Style

Thank you to @executables-sims for the tag! Took me a few days, but this was fun to fill out.

What’s your favorite Sims death?

Easy, death by Cowplant! It's so iconic and peak Sims-ridiculousness. That it made its way into future games is no surprise. Plus, I don't have a ton of accidental death in my game, and the Cowplant keeps me on my toes.

Alpha CC or Maxis Match?

Maxis Match as much as possible. I love TS2's aesthetic, even is some of it appears dated. My game certainly looks better in 2023 than it did in 2004, but it is still recognizably TS2

Do you cheat your sims weight?

No, I let it happen organically. Especially because I use Simler90's Slower Fitness Increase and Nopke's Fitness Decay, both of which really make you work for it. They are essential to my gameplay, but mean more of my sims have a high body skill than is probably normal. They are doing their best!

Do you move objects?

Of course. Why it isn't enabled in my UserStartup file is a question I ask myself daily.

Favorite Mod?

I have more than 500 mods so I don't know how I can pick. I could just say NUMENOR in all-caps to say everything he's done. But I'll go with a recent favorite, Nyami's Actual Alcohol Mod, because it adds chaos to gameplay and chaos is good.

Do you pronounce live mode like aLIVE or LIVing?

Living. We are in Live Mode, folks!

Who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made?

In an older prompt, I answered with Daniel Monona, but since then it's definitely been Duke Patricio. I've made him 3 times (in my OG 2000's game, where he married Nina Caliente, in a Base Game Starter hood, and again in my 2020's game). He and Zeeshan are my favorite couple and I'm sad they are so close to old age because I've had so much fun playing them (but I've also been giving them way too many extra days with Elixir of Life or Life Fruit).

Ari is #2, but I haven't played him for a bit because I'm stuck on what to do with him as a Vampire...

Have you made a simself?

Nope, only one of my old TS2 Exchange avatar, which was intentionally not what I look like.

Which is your favorite EA hair color?

Never really thought about this, but maybe black?

Favorite EA hair?

Two male hairs, Rocker and Shortmop. Those two haircuts were iconic in my 2000's saves. Jeanette is my favorite CC hair.

Favorite life stage?

Teens. It's where my sims start to develop their personalities, and I begin to think about what I want them to do. They also haven't fully grown into their facial features yet, so you can get all sorts of good and bad surprises. Plus, they can cause lots of of trouble.

Are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay?

I still consider myself a builder, even though I play my game much more frequently these days. But I think 400+ uploaded lots in my time playing this game allows me to hold onto that label.

Are you a CC creator?

I guess so! Learning how to mesh and use Milkshape in the last year has radically changed how I see myself in the TS2 community, and has stolen so many days from me (the trial and error of making, and the trial and error of uploading), but its been a very fun skill to develop.

Do you have any Simblr friends or a Sim Squad?

I love my mutuals but I don't interact with other accounts too often. I don't post on a Sims discord or anything. Maybe I should?!

Do you have any sims merch?

I do not.

Do you have a YouTube for sims?

No and I would definitely not have time to produce one!

How has your “Sims style” changed throughout your years of playing?

Loaded question time! For one, my game is much more LGBTQ+ than when I shared neighborhood save files with my siblings growing up. Now that it's my game, exploring different relationships with my sims is one of my favorite parts of play.

I've also become much more Maxis Match as I get older. The 2000's were a wild west for CC creation, and my old saves are bursting at the seams with painted-on clothes and the mid-decade emo aesthetic that I have absolutely no interest in playing in 2023.

Lastly, my build style used to be modern and CFE heavy, but now I prefer traditional (modern works better in TS3) and makeovers.

Who’s your favorite CC creator?

I'll take a historical approach to answering this, because there are many active creators whose work I love, but I also try to preserve the legacies of the original TS2 pioneers. Here are 5:

Numenor - The Modfather. His mods did more to expand this game than just about anyone in the heyday of TS2. If you are reading this, you know who Numenor is. Need I say more? Windkeeper - Probably the best Maxis Match CC of the old era. Her stuff holds up remarkably well. en7en - aka "That Pagoda Guy." Yeah, he's the CFE genius who made the Eiffel Tower and disappeared way too soon. A huge inspiration on my old build style. Ehaught58 - one of the great builders across many different Sims eras. I need to upload some of his old TS2 lots. I wish I could still access his Exchange page because it was a treasure trove. His lots were often huge and unfriendly to old machines but would be fine now. A very recognizable build style (dark woods, earth tones). Daihtnaoz7 - If he did nothing but discover CFE he'd still be a legend. But he also wrote the single bridge, double bridge, and atrium tutorials, demonstrating how to best take advantage of this new cheat. A literal gamechanger. I paid tribute to him here.

Honorable mentions: Cyclonesue (TSR), Hatshepsut (TSR), Tiko (TSR), PiaNouka (Exchange), GoddessByline (Exchange), Wintermuteai1, Minideidad (Exchange), Cireking213 (Exchange, still around as CK213 for TS3 and TS4).

How long have you had Simblr?

I think I made this in Spring 2020. Right as COVID was shutting everything down, I found myself playing TS2 a lot more and eventually discovered Simblr. The old, big sites are either shells of their former selves (MTS), or don't allow TS2 content anymore (TSR), so I figured if I wanted to be active in the TS2 community nearly 20 after the game came out, I had to be on Tumblr.

How do you edit your pictures?

I have a Photoshop action that crops, brightens, and sharpens, and somehow pictures still take me way too long.

What expansion/gamepack is your favorite?

Answering for the first 3 games (as I haven't played TS4)

TS1 - Makin Magic! A perfect final EP for the first game. Though Unleashed was probably my very first EP. TS2 - University (I'm in the minority here, but it's so much fun when you have big dorms or chaotic houses). Seasons is #2 TS3 - Late Night. Bridgeport is gorgeous and the new lot styles were fun and I wish they could be ported in TS2.
