hello, i'm not sure if this is the right place to ask as it's a program and not not CC, but i'm looking for the program version of the townie randomizer by dreadpriate/veronavillequiltingbee as the links no longer work - dreadpirate /post/177696300872/ thank you!

Hello anon! :-D I actually have a reblog in my drafts with a re-upload of said program, but I haven't reblogged it because I assumed dreadpirate/veronavillequiltingbee deleted it for a reason. However, seeing how they said they've retired from ts2 (in their bio) I'll reblog the re-upload. Give me a second and I'll update this ask with the link!

Edit: link!

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.

More Balanced Aspiration Attraction

If this aspect is unmodded, some aspirations have a much easier time gaining bolts than others. And it only becomes more apparent if you use a mod that adds secondary aspirations to the chemistry, as they're counted based on that same unequal system too.

So, I tweaked it in the way you can see from the table above. With this system, every aspiration has one other aspiration they're attracted to and one they have a penalty towards.

The attraction/penalty is only one-sided to prevent strong "ideal couples" like knowledge & family and pleasure & romance are with the original system. That being said:

All aspirations still find their own aspiration attractive

Grilled Cheese sims find their own aspiration massively attractive, so I didn't give them a boost with other aspirations at all

This mod is just a simple BCON tuning, meaning that if you want to make your own version, you can easily edit it further.

Download (SFS) (alternate)

🚨 Nightlife is required. Conflicts with other edits of the global Attraction Constants, for example: @pforestsims' only TO chemistry, @bstu's no aspiration chemistry penalty, Peanutty's aspiration attraction mods, @belladovah's no zodiac chemistry, and @dreadpirate's zodiac overhaul.

Is compatible and recommended to be used with a mod that adds secondary aspirations to the chemistry. I use Midge's romantic standards myself :)

Luminescence - A ReShade Preset

Hello! sorry for such a random upload but a lot of people on Facebook are asking what preset I use!

This is a lightweight, preset that just has few modifications! This works best with @dreadpirate's Radiance Lighting 2.5 mod!

Here's an example of how it looks like in the game! Your game might look a bit different if you use other Lighting mods or just using a Maxis Lighting, but it shouldn't be that much of a difference!

Download here! (SFS)

If you're interested to see a comparison between No ReShade and W/ Reshade, its down under the Cut!

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

UPDATED: OCTOBER 27 (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)

[antisocialbunnysims]

got a lot of requests to upload this and wanted to get it up asap as a ~happy new year~ gift. More info, more pics and download under the cut! You can see all the elements of the lot and how it works in action by checking out my most recent yt video.

Here are some screenshots/floorplan taken in an empty downloads folder with no other cc:

Read this before installing:

If u have trouble placing this lot, use the neighborhood terrain cheat that catherintcjd shows how to use in the pics of this MTS post. If you use shaders like dreadpirate's no blue snow, remove them first or you might not be able to see the green square cursor that you use to adjust the terrain. This beach lot terrain was slightly adjusted to fit my map, so if it doesn't place easily in your hood you're gonna have to do this im sorry.

Beach terrain adjustments under the water revert when you share a lot, for this reason the floating garden underneath the glass floor is a bit jankier but you can move things around if you want. The koi fish are on omsp’s so you might want to use an omsp controller to make them visible if you want to move them around. In my version of the houseboat there is the green neon maxis disc lamp that i have underwater on a backwards omsp so it points up at the glass floor. I removed it in this version b/c since the terrain reverted, the light was trapped way under the terrain but still filling the house with a green glow, so i deleted it since it would be a bit tricky for others to remove without having to use CFE.

Snow comes through the hot tub roof onto the bed lmao just know that this happens. You can use simnopke’s time and weather controller to stop snow or stop snow accumulation. I’m not sure if this problem will stop if the hot tub is removed, haven’t tried it. Not sure if rain comes through, i assume it does butttt i haven't noticed. 😇

CC is included, there are two subfolders in the zip: one is maxis recolors and one is meshes or recolors that I either couldn't/forgot to place on the lot before packaging. ** You NEED to install Numenor's no cutaway wall if you do not already have it, otherwise walls will be missing.**

DOWNLOAD SFS <<<<< cleaned with chris hatch's lot compressor, built in sims 2 UC, lot costs 77k tysm to everyone who's cc i used! <3

Tristan-sims 4t2 Road Default Replacement with Criquette's Rural Charm (+ Snow-Fixed + Bridge)

I made some road replacements for myself and I thought I might as well share it in case someone finds my DR useful. This is an edit of Tristan-sims 4t2 Road Default Replacement. I wanted it to match @criquette-was-here Rural Charm (Lush) terrain. There is two versions, one with heavy snow on the sidewalks, and one with minimal (regular amount) of snow. (See above). Choose only one. Road overlays is included. There is one optional overlay set if you choose to have the heavy snow version.

More under the cut!

The original files didn't have snow on the roads in lot view, so I I fixed the road replacement so the textures for light snow shows correctly. I used textures from @tvickiesims's "Heavy Snow DR Texture" for the heavy snow version. I recommend downloading it to match the roads if you pick this version.

I use @dreadpirate's (old) lighting mod so the colours may look different If you use maxis lighting or another lighting mod. The roads look kind of weird in dusk/dawn (especially in spring), but It is an old game and I don't think there is much to do about it. I think It looks better than the original roads though.

Note: Criquette's Rural Charm Overlays is not compatible with the heavy snow overlays (optional). It wont' work properly if you have both.

I use Voeille's "No More Blurriness" for snow replacement in lot mode.

I also added the road textures to the neighbourhood bridges, originally by @tvickiesims / @criquette-was-here. (This is optional).

I have Ultimate Collection on PC. I don't know how many packs is required for this to work. Consider yourself a tester If you don't have all the packs.

Box: DOWNLOAD

If anyone wants to invite me to SimFileShare I would appreciate it. I would upload it there too!

🌹 atomtanned's Trait-Based Chemistry

I've used @lilbabydilljr's Turn-Ons & Turn-Offs for a while now, and I love that he added in 3t2 traits when calculating chemistry. I wanted to tweak it for my game, and I finally learned how to do so. This is a heavily-modified version of his mod, so most of the credit goes to him - I just added/removed traits and changed some images and text strings.

Like any mod that involves traits, this requires @hexagonal-bipyramid's Easy Inventory Check.

This is definitely the most involved BHAV editing I've done yet, so please let me know if you find any errors, as it's a bit hard to test in game.

UPDATE: If you use Clean UI (or any other UI mod that uses Clean UI as a base) this mod will need to load after. Or you can delete the turn-on images that are included with that mod.

UPDATE 2: @cityof2morrow let me know that this mod (and I believe any other custom turnon/turnoff mods) also conflict with NickM406's No More Loading the * Family mod. Thank you!!

✨ DOWNLOAD: SFS / PATREON / MF

I've included the full list of turn-ons/turn-offs below the Read More link. The original names of Dill's Turn-Ons are in parentheses where applicable. Please note that this list uses the original TS3 trait names for clarity, but there's recommendations for changed trait names below as well.

Seasonal Maxis Roads for Suratan's Lush Terrrain.

Here is something I did for myself but decided to upload in case someone else is interested. I'm currently using @suratan-zir 's Default Lush Terrain but I wanted maxis roads, and the ones I were using unfortunately did not have proper seasonal roads so I decided to add them. While I was at it, I also upscaled the lot skirt road textures to 1024x1024 so that the grass will blend more seamlessly and adjusted the colors to better match the Cinema Secrets Lighting mod that I use. These are far from perfect, and I don't know how to fix the active lot sidewalk snow, but hopefully I'll find out a fix. I also made a version for people who use Maxis lighting. I'm pretty sure you need Seasoned Lot Skirt Road Fix by @criquette-was-here for the winter roads to work, or have the shader fixes by @dreadpirate.

Download:

If you use a lighting mod: SFS If you use Maxis lighting: SFS

Let me know if you find any problems. I'm also open to do seasonal maxis roads for other lush terrains, if anyone has any requests. Also Warning! Since the textures are bigger than 512x512, it might cause strain to the texture memory if you use bigger than extra large lot view.

🐟s3m faye skin 4t2🐟

a female skin appeared! i've been a little bored of vincent + working on it so i decided to make a new female skin (i also plan to do some more male skins lol). im also enjoying how the preview came out, i used a nice summery palette.

the skin, as always, is for teen-elder. custom only, tooltipped, compressed and uses the standard size for skin textures. contains just 3 (+1 if you count empty one) pngs in the package so its v tiny! alien is included! just forgot to include it in the pics above but its defo there. based on io's colour alien colour.

made up of:

☆ bodies - for seamless blending and recolouring, i pasted my baked texture over dreadpirate's calm depths body pngs. i barely blended it with that, just erased neck seams, so the body is 100% the original by s3m. not as detailed as my previous skins, but i'm not really a fan of super super lean skins. uses lilith's watermelon big boobs boob texture because bobbies

☆ eyelids - from whysim 45 skin (?) i think

☆ lips - must've come from no answer, which is based on io's skin. lip corners by tifa

☆ nose - lilith buttercup :)

☆ details - poyopoyo's pores, poyopoyo's moles, trapping's depth shaders, rensim facekit, misc shines and details lying in my texture folder probably by pooklet or handdrawn by me

☆ tones - trappings :D finally got them accurate, there was no colour differences when i imported them in making the workflow fast and easy

☆ dl @ sfs ☆

Yakumtsaki Celebrations Suit Redux Add-ons for AM and TM

I couldn't find non-default versions of @dreadpirate's Red and Light Grey colors of @yakumtsaki's Celebrations Suit Redux, but surely this has been done before? If it hasn't, please enjoy these two recolors for AM and TM (each one gets the red and light grey, tho I only pictured one of each). If it has been, I'll take this down. All I did was copy-paste the textures.

AM mesh by @yakumtsaki and TM mesh by @deedee-sims are both included. TM available either standalone or repositoried to AM. Everything is included in the ZIP file.

Sims 2: Andorian Skins (& Antennae)

Three shades of blue, plus a hybrid blue-green and an Aenar skin. Also includes matching antennae using Nixnivis's Andorian Antennae. These are based off of @dreadpirate's Party For One, as usual, and are customized and not townified.

The downside about being customized is that Andorian/Aenar hybrids won't get the skin automatically applied, instead it'll be a 50/50 based off of the parents. To fix that, you would need to change the child's skintone in SimPE. Here is the code for the hybrid skin for convenience:

cb9968e3-43fd-f592-d818-8ebd6b1547ec

Anyway, both the skin and antennae are included in the zip file. Models are, from left to right, Aenar on adult female, hybrid on child female, Dark Blue on adult female, Light Blue on elder male, and Medium Blue on teen male.
