Sameville

a Mid-Century Florida-Style Unpopulated Neighborhood my utopiazed TS2 version of the real life Spring Hill which was developed by Mackle Brothers/Deltona Corp in the '60's Isn't it time your sims moved to Florida? ...with minimal CC!

I spent my formative years - ages 8 through 18 - in a place called Spring Hill, Florida. At that time it was just a "place" ...not yet incorporated into a town, with dirt roads if you veered too far off the main boulevard. It had one school (K-8th,) one small grocery, and one gas station with a convenience store - oh, thank Heaven! The whole development was designed as a "retirement" community, meant to entice New Yorkers to buy their Florida-dream-opportunity sight unseen, and move down to the land of eternal sunshine. (And many did!)

If you want more insight into the Real Life area - here is the wiki link: Spring Hill

Sameville has a total of 93 included lots. 63 are residential lots - one of which is an apartment/trailer park. There is also a cemetery. And there are 23 commercial/community lots. (Plus 6 designated "empty" lots - 4 residential, and 2 commercial.)

Just like the RL Spring Hill was when I moved there in 1974, there is a lot of room to expand this neighborhood. The "city" area is just made up of hood deco buildings and there are many beach lots awaiting your personal builds. Please customize the hood however you want!

Every lot is a clean copy; no sim has ever been in this hood. Each lot was cleaned and compressed with Chris Hatch's Lot Compressor. Everything has been cleaned with Mootilda's Clean Installer. And run through her Hood Checker.

This is the first of two projects that I considered and gave up on multiple times before finally pulling through and getting at least a good solid start on pre-hiatus. ;>.< I tried using Aikea Guinea’s Wall Writing mesh (1) first, but the lighting (and therefore the color) was off, so I kept poking around until I finally ran across CatherineTCJD’s Wall Overlay sets over on MTS (2,3,4).

And they were perfect! ...Until I remembered why I hadn’t used them the first time I’d run across them; somehow among the various fixes over the years, the meshes had gotten slightly skewed, so they just didn’t perfectly match with the wall patterns they were supposed to replace.

But! Now that I have much more experience in MilkShape, I stiffened my resolve and fixed it myself. So! All 3 meshes (INside/Outside/Border decorative overlays) have been shifted slightly downward to match the underlying patterns exactly, and the lighting has been fixed on the INside and Border meshes to match the Outside mesh. The fixed meshes are included with their respective recolors. I recommend you check out Catherine’s original pages for the rest of the explanations regarding what these overlays do and do not.

So, without further ado... Each wall overlay comes in all 111 colors of the AKS Object Rainbow 3b (5). I own exactly none of them. To see what exactly all these colors are, where they are from, and who exactly the talented artists are that created them, please go here (6). (The color files are individually labeled with their original creator, palette, and name, but like usual I’ve probably mangled them beyond recognition by abbreviating everything.)

PS- I compiled and reorganized a few of Catherine’s wall overlays to match my organizational system. THIS IS NOT ALL OF THE OVERLAYS SHE OFFERED so if you want all of hers, you’ll still need to download them from MtS (linked above). The reorganized files can be downloaded here: http://simfil.es/3565156/

...Did I first decide I had to organize all potential Maxis overlays first? Well of course! Should you become inspired to do your own wall overlay recolors (please tag me so I’ll know where to go find them!) and would like to use my attempt at a numbering system to keep them somewhat organized:

I saw this beautiful TS4 build by Gryphi yesterday and I was immediately so inspired, I had to see if I could build something like it in TS2! I was actually surprised how accurately I could replicate the rooflines - I’m so happy how this one turned out!

I made a few tweaks to accommodate TS2 build tools and also just my preferences, but it’s fairly faithful to the original. So thanks to Gryphi for such an inspiring build.

This lot comes unfurnished but with any build CC you see here attached. I highly recommend downloading the Bespoke Build and Thorpe Build sets first, as I believe both have a lot of repo’d objects and I use them heavily in this (and most) of my builds!

The driveway on this lot is also functional. This was built on a 2-step foundation (courtesy of @catherinetcjd) so make sure you have this mod so large dogs can access it.

Enjoy! :)

WIP - 3t2 The Banyan by Copper_Penny

I sometimes browse the TS3 lot section on MTS for inspiration and I fell in love with this Mid-Century home. So I'm shaking off the building rust by making a TS2 version.

And because I like to make things difficult for myself, I'm also experimenting with @catherinetcjd's two-step foundations for the first time (was a little tricky to figure out the ground-level garage - not fully satisfied with it but its a teachable moment for myself).

It's not done yet so these are just some progress pics. The further I get into decorating the more I'm straying from the original, which is good! Tempted to extend the lot so it can have a real backyard, hmmm.

Might upload it to Tumblr when its done (but not MTS) if I can skinny down the CC a bit. Right now it has 3t2 windows, some custom walls, some decor items, and Life Stories walls and floors.

Desert Cliff 006

Published: 1-24-2024 | Updated: 1-26-2024 (Version 2 Hood View FIX) SUMMARY Here is a desert cliff (original model by WireframeArt, 2021 via Creative Commons Attribution) in FOURS sizes—Low, Medium, High, and Mega. Add a cliff or mix and match several to create unique landforms, visible from both lot and hood view. The High/Mega sizes are large enough to cover entire lots! Also, the interior of the object is visible so you can create scenic caves, grottos, mines, and other mountainous settings.

Pictured in between Lot 26 (2x3, 2-story) and Lot 25 (2x2, 1-story).

The mega-sized cliff can cover several lots at once. DETAILS Requires all EPs/SPs. §1000 | Build > Architecture | 1230 poly Seamless textures look best since these objects do not use 1:1 scaling and cliffs will NOT go down with walls. ITEMS Desert Cliff 006 (Low, Medium, High, Mega) DOWNLOAD (choose one) Use only ONE of the following versions in-game at a time. VERSION 001 (V1) You’ll need the Rock TXTR Repository from the Repository Pack (Simmons, 2023) – the top/bottom of cliffs can be recolored separately. You’ll find rock, stone, and earthen recolors on this site under the #ts2recolors, #co2recolors, and #co2repopack tags. VERSION 001 (V1) from SFS | from MEGA VERSION 002 (V2) You need the stone couch mesh from the Stone Super Set (Fractured Moonlight, 2017). Cliffs have one subset and pull all textures from the stone couch. VERSION 002 (V2) from SFS | from MEGA *updated 1-26-2024: improved hood visibility (semi-critical). COLLECTION FILE from SFS | from MEGA *collection file includes items from both versions

Psycho House

from Alfred Hitchcock's 1960 film, Psycho 3+ bedrooms - 2 bathrooms - basement two versions: with minimal CC & with No CC lightly furnished & ready for you to customize

Did you know this "house" was just a large prop really? For many years it sat on the studio's backlot without any back walls, floors, or internal wall structure! It was just the front and side walls - propped up with scaffolding!

It has been moved three times, and been added-to over the years. It is now a fully walled in structure, and is currently an attraction on Universal's Backlot Tour.

Local red sauce joint serving classic Simtalian fare.

Built using @catherinetcjd's 2 step foundation starter pack. I was feeling a bit of a lull but I went out to lunch with some girlfriends last weekend and felt that the Cove needed a lil place like that!

I love these craftsman houses by @catherinetcjd but it's feeling little crowded with so many sims haha.

Update time~!

It's time for some updates again! It's not a lot, but there is a really cool additional feature now!

Added a proper 404 not found page! It looks something like this:

💻Edit profile info

Suggested by @catherinetcjd - a new way to assign your homepage!

By default, it initially would give members the feed view, and non-members the homepage. However, maybe you're just visiting Simblr.cc as a member for other reasons...

Now by going to: Hi, YOUR USER NAME > Edit my Info, you will find 2 new fields.

Default homepage:

Toggle between setting your desired homepage between:

Home, Feed (default),

Choose (the all post types page),

Downloads browse page,

Stories Browse page

Game Preference:

The game preference option grants you the ability to set by default what your homepage should display!

For example: I set my "default homepage" to "Downloads", and my game to "the sims 2", I will always see the sims 2's mods page when visiting the site!

📩 Tumblr Importer

(Sorry for the reblog spam! I haven't found a better way yet to test it without bothering anyone 😬)

Nothing too big! But the importer now does the following:

Grabs your tag and applies it to the reblog post. That way you should get more views as well! :)

It now automatically grabs the Simblr.cc post URL when you published it. That way you don't need to remember every time to add another link to your downloads.

And that was it! Obviously, if you're missing some features, got some bugs, let me know! I would really appreciate it!
