🏜️ Nighthowl Saloon 🥃

This is my version of the Nighthowl Saloon from The Sims 2 PSP. I'm not going for a strict recreation, so I've changed a few things to suit my taste.

Thanks to @chrisnewbie, who recreated the PSP Strangetown as a playable hood. I'm also (slowly) redecorating all the other lots and sims in my (non-Maxis match) style.

Jeffrey and Erin gained strength on the monkey bars together. Caleb was hitting on Isabella and she liked it while Archibald was near by. Dan The Mann was making his move with Zelda. Apparently, Jeffrey failed on Erin. She wasn't interested. A townie at the Cooper Bar and Bowling farted and the bar tender smelled it. xD Richard was alone playing 8 ball.

Clean Maxis & Custom Neighborhoods Templates with Premade Sims! - Masterpost

UPDATED: NOVEMBER 18 (2024)

Do you love premades but get bored of constantly resetting neighborhoods and of ending up doing the same things over and over again? With this list I offer you some alternatives! Same sims...but with a little...more! Feel free to recommend me others if you know other neighborhoods like these!

Look here for other masterposts!

⚠️ ALWAYS USE THE HOODCHECKER AFTER INSTALLING A NEW NEIGHBORHOOD AND/OR ADDING A SUBHOOD. The HC will clean up messy memories, fix IDs incorrectly associated to other sims, and recover missing tombstones and urns. Always have no-unlink on deleted in your download folder for avoid unlinked character data and use the Urnstone Spawner for respawn manually the tombstones if the HC fail to recover them.

Paraiso En Las Rocas (If I can, I would also recommend to download the empty version (or populated, if you don't mind mixing up premades and OCs) of Paraiso En El Mar, because I think they complement each other. PEEM has so many gorgeous community lots! You can use PEEM as Main and PELR as subhood or do the opposite. Personally I would fill the empty version of PEEM with the DV, RVH and BC premades (or just choose some of them) since PELR has all the PV, ST and VV premades + one from BWV)

I am super proud to share my DeadTree recreation from TS2 PSP on Sims 4! I tried to recreate the mysterious atmosphere of the original, while adapting to TS4 environment, and of course hiding secrets here and there… I love hiding secrets in my builds !

Want to uncover the mysteries of Deadtree ?

Gallery :

Account ID : AnkoMikko

Item name : Deadtree Town TS2 PSP

The building is a 7 units appartement and contains:

- the old church (graveyard included, and secret crypt for vampires as well).

- the famous Nightowl saloon

- the Florica caravan and market

- the Kine Society (glory to Belzebeef !)

- the Library with Lincoln’s flat on the 1st floor

- 2 western buildings for your own sim to settle!

I am a huge fan of the PSP version of the sims 2. I used to love playing with @chrisnewbie amazing recreation (until my old computer died and the new one don’t make TS2 run anymore). I’m so glad the latest pack For Rent allowed to create a full neighborhood on one lot !

If you test it and like it, don’t hesitate to let me know !!! 😊 I hope it will bring back to childhood other TS2 PSP lovers !

[heromonty]

Beneath the tough exterior, Hoot is a big softie. He's happiest when his sister Annie is stable and the bar is doing well. So when Virginya needed a place to crash, Hoot couldn't say no.

aka the only sims I really care about from the PSP game are the Howell siblings + Virginya so I yoinked them from chrisnewbie’s Strangertown and added them to the save :)

Local Night Beast and vampire things, nothing to see here.

Followers may know that I'd been working on a custom downtown for Strangetown based on the handheld ports of Sims 2 - and I made a custom terrain for it. That custom downtown isn't ready for release yet BUT. I've got all these terrains that could be of use to someone else.

These terrains were specifically made to fit all the Strangetown lots made by @/ChrisNewbie. The environment of these terrains are kind of basic because I was more focused on making sure that specific lots fit in specific locations, but these roads could probably be useful for like... a variety of purposes beyond their express intended purpose.

As an extra I've also got a zip of the various prototypes I made while working on Deadtree.sc4 available in a bundle - no creative names though, they're just DeadtreePrototypes 1 through 6.

Prototypes 4-6 are virtually identical with the only differences being road length, while there's more variation between Prototypes 1-3.

[uberhood]

This ain't your grandma's uberhood.

...because it's the third time I've tried to tell this story and i don't want to get overwhelmed again.

I'm playing a Sims 2 megahood, mostly focusing on an edited Strangetown, but with most of the Maxis premades, and a few added quirks.

Read the whole story from the beginning here.

More about the uberhood, and my goals for the story, under the cut.

HOODS

Here are the neighbourhoods I'm currently playing in the uberhood:

@chrisnewbie 's Strangeytown as the base hood, and the one that definitely gets played in full rotation.

Pleasantview (for Lilith and Dustin)

Veronaville (for Miranda/Hermia/Puck)

Desiderata Valley (for John Mole and Natasha Una)

@penig's Widespot (for the drama + Sky Weiss).

@jawusa's Aileen Landing (which I've never actually played before!)

@oceansmotion 's Natosi (for the spooky ghost town vibes)

@hoodbuildinggroup's Sedona, for the vibes

hoodbuildinggroup's Shady Shores, because I love those toddlers and I want them to grow up well

Maxis stealth hoods for the Ottomi, Newsons, Gavigans, etc.

As a downtown, I've added @aondaneedles 's Copperhead City.

For our universities, we've got penig's Land Grant University, Maxis' La Fiesta Tech, and aonda's Cactus Canyon University.

For our vacation destinations, we've got topp's Felicity Island, jawusa's Moonbase Apollo, and Maxis' Three Lakes.

I'm not adding Belladonna Cove, because I'm not a masochist. I'm not adding Riverblossom Hills, because most of it bores me. (I might change my mind about this and add Jules O'Mackey and the Roths...) I'd love to add Douglasville and Arkhelios, because they fit the vibes, but neither of them seems to have a subhood version :(

STORY

I want to at least start the story low-stakes and work up to the harder, more emotionally hefty stuff. Part of the reason I've been struggling so hard with the Uberhood is that writing... like... the Grunts... is a challenge.

This is why the first couple chapters center mostly around lone weirdoes who don't have any ties to a grander story. I want to introduce some metaplot eventually, but I want to do it slowly.

CREDITS

The way I tell this story is heavily influenced by @simhealing's Uberhood, and I probably borrowed a bunch of headcanons from her without realizing. If you like what I'm doing here, go check her out.

Most of the CC I use is from @withlovefromsimtown , @whattheskell/@ts2repositoryproject , @platinumaspiration and/or @lordcrumps. I'm WCIF friendly, but if you see something and you don't know what it is, the odds are that it's from one of those four creators.

Thanks for reading! Have fun!

[yandereplumsim]

@chrisnewbie Strangetown Jail's Makeover-ish... actually i just rebuild the whole lot using the original lot as a guide, because i needed it to be two tiles closer to the road for *Aesthetics*. I wanted it to match with the little clothing store at 88 Road to Nowhere as the lot is going to be next to it.

[asimplevampire]

Hey, y'all, I have a question. Over @uberhood I'm playing Strangetown (well, @chrisnewbie's Strangeytown edit), and I really, really want a particular TS4 sim to live there

Has anyone made a conversion of Erwin Pries- you know, this little goober?

I know where I'd find the vest and the hat, but I'd just like to be able to plop the whole ass man into my game.

I was testing the Bach kids for the Carnival Life along with Justinian Bach, their dad.

[nonsensical-pixels]

welcome to the kine dairy farm

this unnasuming, innocent little farm may or may not be the home of a cow-obsessed, doomsday-expecting cult. at least the milk is fresh!

this is why i needed cows 🐄

more pics:

i have to say that i really, really love how the exterior turned out! the paint is the same as it was in the original build by @chrisnewbie, but i put up a lot of new fencing & tossed in a ton of @sunmoon-starfactory's incredible barnyard bash animals! they're functional, too 😍

the public areas are pretty unassuming, just your average dairy-farm-turned-tourist-attraction...

the private areas are... less so...

the cowplant's name is bezos jeff btw

[kriskalutz]

So @chrisnewbie create the Strangetown Hotel for her Strangeytown neighborhood, and it's based off the Sims 2 DS right? She bases her design more on the exterior of the hotel first and then builds the exterior afterward. And I don't blame her, the Hotel in the DS game is basically a Tardis: it's a lot bigger on the inside than it is on the outside.

But it got me wondering what the Hotel would look like if you focused on the interior rather than the exterior. Or at least the parts of it that make it a hotel. And so I made this strange hotel:

I'm still testing it out, but basically I took snapshots of the Main Lobby, the Small Guest Room, the Modern Guest Room, the Jungle Guest Room, the Deluxe Guest Room, AND the Sun Deck, blueprinted them, and then attempted to put them together into a weird little building puzzle in the game.

Those are the only rooms from the DS game that I used in this build, but I did add a few more rooms make the place look 'better': two public bathrooms, a library, a community gaming area, a gym, a playground, and two grilling areas (one ground level, one second floor). I wanted it to still have that vibe of the hotel that has EVERYTHING in it even if the main focus was just the Guest Rooms.

The Deluxe Room was so big I couldn't fit it into a single picture (see below). It's also the one I altered the most as I put it on the second floor: it's supposed to have stairs going down to a lower platform to reach the fireplace, but I put the room on the 2nd floor and opted to just make it a platform instead (I spent 30 minutes trying and failing to do the L-shape stairs trick for the main lobby and I wasn't about to try build tricks again on this build.)

The Deluxe Guest Room has the luxury of this big side patio upstairs! It's also the most expensive apartment on the lot (+5,000 a week).

The Hotel Owner's room and the Penthouse were removed because you can only have 4 apartments per lot, so I just turned them into a pair of houses. Never took pics of them though.

Anyway it was a fun little experiment and I'm gonna go play instead of build for now lol.
