HOWDY if you've maybe wondered "huh Devin hasn't been posting as much art lately" THIS IS WHY! I've been putting a lotta work (including a lotta art) into this game of mine, and it's finally complete! ...I'd appreciate if you give it a shot!

You know what time it is?

TIME FOR ONE FINAL BURIAL! A complete 4-6 hour dungeon crawler available... NOW! Help Trip investigate an abandoned facility after reports of odd activity happening. Learn about its creations, the monster who slumbers below... oh, and that red guy in the back. I'm sure he's not up to anything important.

This is @midgethetree's awesome functional yoga mat, with a few tweaks to make it friendlier for use on an OFB business lot. It's more attractive now, and Sims of any body skill level can use it, not just 3+ points.

This would absolutely not have come together without the helpful guidance of @gummilutt, @hugelunatic, and @heathensimmer helping me and suggesting what to try since I am very much not a modder! But once again, desperately stubborn when it comes to making things work in my own game.

This is just an edit of the mesh, replace Midge's version with mine, but get the recolours from her original post.

Enjoy :)

[who-killed-bella-goth]

in the interest of nostalgia, here are some mods i've found to restore old game behavior that was removed or changed by updates.

mean interactions for any age - removed in OFB. anyone else remember booting up the game and seeing lilith duke it out with her parents?

kill visiting playables - self-explanatory. removed in seasons.

fewer hobby wants - to keep FT wants from cannibalizing the older wants.

no pet obsession - same as above, but for pets wants.

no shade eyes salute - removes the salute added in M&G.

let me know if there are any i've missed!

Maxis Lost & Found and Default Replacement List | Resources: Sims 2 | Improving the Look of the Game

Here is a resource list of the Default Replacements I use to improve the look of my game, as well as "Maxis Lost & Found items" to add a little more variety.

I play a mostly CC-free game but I've also included a list of the tiny amount of "Maxis match" CC that I use, so if you download my lots and you have these things installed the houses should look like they do in the previews.

Can you believe the Sims 2 is over 20 years old!? It will look like it's hardly aged a day after you put these defaults in. 🤭 I also recommend Reshade for a truly up-to-date experience.

[4t2] Sixam - Secret Alien World for TS2 ^^

Remember my 4t2 Sixam project I started 2 years ago? Which I almost scrapped but revisited sometime last year? ... well, I've got good news for you then. It's finally out now! ^^

Welcome to Sixam!

Sixam Academy is a prestigious intergalactic university on the planet of Sixam that provides special training for aspiring students to become Birth Queens, Colony Drones, or even the latest innovation in alien technology: Pollination Technicians. The academy offers hands-on experiences, collaborative research, and cultural exploration, alongside interstellar expeditions, nurturing a community focused on curiosity, inclusivity, and innovation.

Yes, I recreated the secret alien world from TS4 for TS2 as a custom university subhood! Why as a university subhood you may ask? Well, I tried to keep the original vibes of Sixam of it being an "unlockable"/visitable place your sims can explore rather than a regular neighborhood your sims can live in!

Well, even after graduation, your sims can actually stay and live in the university subhood using Lamare's YAs can enjoy maternity (and all that) mod, as well as Lamare's Pets at University mod!

While technically it's a university, it could easily also be just a downtown or a main hood, as it includes quite a few urban city-style residential & community lots that a main hood/downtown would also otherwise have… just all in sci-fi/alien theme, of course! ;)

Download: MTS | Simblr.cc | SFS

More info under the cut...

Neighborhood Info:

Requires only Uni/NL/OFB EP and no CC were used to build the lots - I made this without Apartment Life EP, so TS2 Super Collection users can also use it, but in the future, I might also make an alternative version as an actual downtown with apartment lots!

No camera mod is needed, yet, still recommended for easier gameplay, especially since some lots were built on skyscrapers and can be hard to view with just the vanilla camera.

Number of Sims: 90 (10 playable sims in 4 playable families, 31 townies, 44 NPCs, 5 dead sims)

Number of Lots: 35 (7 residential lots, 2 Greek houses, 5 dorms, 1 secret society, 20 community lots, where 8 of which are owned businesses)

Gameplay Info:

Speaking of lots, I made lecture halls for every major, which you could use with beestew's Active Classes mod! These are community lots, featuring skill-building equipment and study spaces, with NPC professors (as lot owners) available for tutoring whenever your sims visit.

I also made an optional custom skybox and custom lighting file for Sixam that will make it always nighttime (Yes, you heard right! The sun never shines here on Sixam!) with subtle seasonal color changes - reddish in Autumn, bluish in Winter, and greenish in Spring.

While the empty version should be CC-free, the inhabited version requires the 3 alien skintones (blue/turquoise/violet) from my [4t2] aliens set to keep the TS4 alien characters like Aileen Rauvu authentic. As giving all these colorful aliens the default green skin instead felt as bad as white-washing, say, giving black characters like Olive Specter a lighter skintone for me. An alternative CC-free version with no CC skintones is also available for players who prefer to not have any CC skintones in their games, though.

I also recreated some characters from TS4, especially all the characters from the The Sims 4 Get to Work: Sul Sul trailer. Every character comes with a complete set of ancestors (at least parents) and customized memories, even townies and NPCs! Some also come with interesting lore! Even though, they're just... townies! Oh, and everyone has genetic infant faces! Yayy! XD

Speaking of characters, scripted events don't work in subhoods, but I wrote a text in each family description that somewhat mimic the scripted event notifications anyway. I think this is a brilliant and fun way of introducing new characters, even in university subhoods. All households should also have a complete set of family album pictures that show their lore a bit. ^^

Recommended Mods:

All notownieregen/antiredudancy/nodormiespawn/nossrespawn mods. All university townies/NPCs in Sixam are aliens.. or at least have a very good reason why they're there, but this can easily be ruined if you don't have these mods installed, lol.

bloodredtoe's Mannequin babies can be born mod. To have more variety, I used the mannequin skintone for some of the alien sims. While this mod isn't required, it's recommended to prevent crashes, especially when these aliens have offspring, as there's a chance they could inherit the mannequin skintone.

Squinge's No Townie Memory Loss. Again, townies and NPCs in this neighborhood are highly customized and I recommend getting no townie amnesia mods to prevent their lore from getting wiped out! As there are a few clues in the bios of some of the townies... including long lost twins!

lingeringwillx's Restore Default Names for Sims in Subneighbohoods . This is especially helpful, not only because the townies/NPCs are related to the playable sims, but also, it will help to maintain the alien atmosphere of Sixam with names like Pollination Technicians, Colony Drones or Birth Queens, etc. instead of having EA's default townie/NPC names.

⭐ THE NINTENDO STORE - CC SET ⭐

Holy shit i dont think i ever worked on something this long

anyways. im sure you're all bored to death of my WIP posts, it's finally here!!! a big clutter set full of things to make a nintendo store with. or... just clutter for your sims bedrooms hehe. excuse my lack of fancy preview for this i just reused pics from my build LMAO

these items are DECO ONLY!!! they dont function unfortunately

What's inside? From left to right:

Nintendo Ads on Beos' Backlit Poster - 18 swatches

Nintendo Ads on NL Cantankerous Splatter - 26 swatches

Nintendo Logos on Keoni's OFB Bag Addons - 6 swatches

Wii Fit Board, Wiimote, Wii Motion Plus Remote and Wii Consoles - 2 swatches each for the console and wii mote (original functional by Blackgarden on TSR here, rest from Models Resource)

Gamecube Console + Controller - (original functional by Blackgarden on TSR here. There is also a game boxes clutter here too that is by Kardofe but textured/remapped by me, I forgot to get a photo but you can view it here)

Gameboy Advance + Advance SP - 4t2 from Lightningbolt @ MTS. Be warned that these are sort of on the high poly side (around 1-2k poly) but texture sizes are quite small. Screens are their own subset so you can recolour the screens without changing the console colour.

Nintendo DS Game Boxes and Cartridges - Has a shelf version, a single game box version and another single game box that is upside down so you can see the back. Cartridge is the same. These are original meshes by me, very low poly and smallish textures :)

Mohd's DS Lite replacement turned into deco - Featuring a closed version that is repo'd to the open version. Screens unfortunately not recolourable due to how the mesh is structured, but comes in a variety of colours. Original at MTS here.

Same as the above I don't know why I didn't put em in one pic

RetailSims Wii Boxes - Recoloured and addons created by me and repo'd to the single box.

DS Lite Boxes - Meshed and textured by me, addons repo'd to the upright single box. Low poly.

Gamecube Boxes - Meshed and textured by me, 5 recolours. Low poly.

Jesus christ this post is gigantic. But I hope u guys like what i made :)

credits - Beos, Keoni, Blackgarden, Lightningbolt, rippers @ modelsresource, Mohd, Retailsims, Rudhira for providing the best pics for the texturing of the DS game boxes :))

Radioactive Barrel for the Sims 2

I made this with my boyfriend :p I think he even did babby's first mesh editing on it. You'll recognizing the barrel from one of the Maxis fireplaces. The object intermittently emits a modified version of the evil Snapdragon bouquet's effect. Be careful, sustained exposure will kill Sims! They may also vomit and think of radiation, as pictured. Fumes above the barrel mean the noxious effect is active. The sfx is from the base game. The object is always surrounded by ambient smoke, using the original evil Snapdragon sfx. That won't appear if you don't have OfB. Finally, the barrel also casts a green light on surrounding objects. While Sims can "view" it, I made the interaction non-autonomous. The barrel is found under Misc/Misc for 100$. Also: thank you to WHoward for guiding me with the vomiting haha. -> Download at SimFileShare

Absent-Minded 3T2 Traits Pack!

UPDATE: Re-uploading here in a sec. Interaction-Take a Bath did not have hydrophobic effects.

Part 1 of a new out-of-nowhere series, releasing trait mods in wonderfully curated selections... by Trait!

I love this trait. Why can't we have stupid and smart Sims? Where was the SIXTH personality scale?... Dumb vs. Focused? etc... Anyways.. I fleshed out this trait for you all and made compatible versions.

Be sure to check out @noodlebelli 's tracker to grab the other trait mods for this trait.

Your first selection is called "Where Am I?"

Housekeeping

This mod was inspired by the Sims 3 Absent minded trait page on Sims wiki. It describes that Absent-Minded Sims in the Sims 3 will "action cancel" randomly, and "forget" what you told them to do!

I have made this mod compatible with several other trait mods - namely the showering and bath autonomy mods for the Hydrophobic trait, Slobs pee in Showers, and Brooding Sims take longer showers/baths.

Also for Eco-Friendly. All these mods are added into a mod by Meduza: https://www.tumblr.com/jellymeduza/693672582333022208/edits-of-some-mods

and here: https://www.tumblr.com/jellymeduza/650441192122777600/ts3-useable-snowboard-half-pipe-i-thought-it

I added this trait effect that I am about to tell you about.

But essentially, any trait mods to do with showering and baths, I got you covered.

Another version of this mod is compatible with PicknMix's Shared Showering, specifically the Temperature Enable. If you don't use Shared Showering, download the normal version.

THE MOD

All this mod does is gives a 10 percent chance that a Sim with the Absent minded trait will action cancel with, autonomously or otherwise, taking a bath and taking a shower. They will walk into the bathroom, idle very briefly, do a confused animation (The OFB one), and then maybe another animation such as a shrug, and then leave the room, without doing what you told them to do.

I have also added, for my own game, when a Sim goes to sleep, but I will go easy on y'all at first...

So it makes these Sims a bit more challenging to play and stays true to ts3 traits.

_________________________________________

Selection 2: Re-upload of Crosswords Are Hard for Absent-Minded, Genius, and Bookworm Sims. Skill speed changes depending on trait. Nothing was changed with this update.

_____________________________________

Selection 3: An edit of @gummilutt Chess Gives Science Enthusiasm with trait effects. Skill speed changes based on trait. Absent Minded Sims learn Logic slower from chess. Geniuses faster.

Requires Easy Inventory Check for ALL THREE MODS... and traits of course. Only download ONE Absent Minded "Where Am I" mods. One of them works with PicknMix's shared showering!

Remember to delete Meduza’s plug-ins and Gummi’s mod and/or load my mods last

Happy Simming!

howdy i've still been busy with the whole game thing. I even have a few CGs to draw, so it'll still be some more time... but I finally finished the halfbodies and (95% of the planned) expressions. So here's some of my favorites.

Crashcraft's vintage sets in Cluedo colors

✿ This is for the sims 2 ✿

Here are recolors I made of various Cashcraft sets for use in Éclaire. I recolored only the objects I thought I'd like to use in my game, so not all of the sets are present in full.

Please also note that I wrote cluedo colors, and not woods. No way in hell I was going to handpaint all that to change the wood grain, sorry.

What's included?

✿ 6 objects from the Magnolia Hill Dining set (buffet, china cabinet, curio, hutch, mirror and sideboard);

✿ 6 objects from the Regency set (tea set, dining chair, cabinet, sideboard, china cabinet and armchair);

✿ 30 objects from the Vanity Fair sets (armchair, canopy, cash register (req. OFB), chaise, coffee table, curtain, desk chair, end table, footstool, handbag, hat, 3 lamps, mirror, parlor chair, perfume tray, round table, sewing basket, sewing clutter, cutting board, desk, screen, sewing shelf, worktable, sofa, tall cabinet and vanity);

✿ 7 objects from the Victorian set (chafing dish, chair, painting, sideboards, hutch and table);

✿ 5 objects from the Vintage Charm set (alarm clock, bed, books and 2 lamps).

DOWNLOAD (SFS)

Meshes, swatches and previews included, files compressed and clearly named.

✿ I renamed the meshes to remove any special characters, so check your download folder for duplicates manually if you already have Cashcraft's sets in your game.

More immersive pet treats - Giving treats now requires Sims to go out and buy them!

My anniversary celebration gifts so far have given us players a treat, the sims a treat, and as a player that also enjoys having pets, I thought it might be nice to finish off by giving the pets a treat! :) I enjoy making my game more immersive, and giving my Sims reasons to go out and buy things in OFB businesses as well as more chores/responsibilities. Now if your Sims want to reward their adorable furbabies, they best get on down to the pet store and buy some delicious delectable pet goodies!

The original object used was by RetailSims, who kindly agreed to let me use her objects for my pet global mods. I have improved upon the mesh to include cat treats, remapped it a little and made it easier to recolor. I am not that great at photo-editing but thankfully the kind and generous @kashmiresims agreed to create some fresh new recolors for it, providing textures for cat/dog, big dogs, small dogs and cats :)

How the mod works 1. Mod impacts current family only, because maybe your visitors brought treats with them. I do that sometimes :P 2. Only impacts residential and apartment lots, so that if you encounter strays on community lots, or took a pet on vacation, you don't have to worry about it (unless it is an owned vacation home). 3. For active family to feed treats to pets on residential or apartment lots, they must have a treat bucket object present on the lot, with treats left. Every time you feed a pet a treat, the bucket capacity goes down. When it runs out, you have to buy a new one. 4. Default setting on bucket is 20 treats. It is controlled in BCON 1003 on the object, so if you want a different number you can easily change it :) The bucket is quite large, so 20 seems a little ridiculous, but I wanted your Sims to actually need to buy one every so often and 20 seemed a good compromise. A smaller version of the bucket will be coming eventually.

Download on simfileshare

Conflicts: None that I know of. The bucket is a new object, separate from the original so you can have both.

Credits: HChangeri at RetailSims for the original bucket object, @kashmiresims for the lovely new recolors and generally motivating me to get things done! :) @gayars, @morepopcorn, @klaartjesimblr and @crispsandkerosene who kindly helped answer various meshing questions when I got stuck during the making of the new version of the bucket. Gayars who made the very cute heart ballons, that you can get here! DeeDee for the party hat accessory that I made an object and OMSP wrangled into a pet hat :3

This was part 3 of my Anniversary Gifts, find the rest here!

Voluminous Victorian | Sims 2 Residential Lot Download

This Victorian style home was built based on actual house plans and features 4 bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms as well as large living spaces (because what kind of Victorian home would it be if it didn't have tons of space?!). 🤭 It sits on a 3X3 lot and is mostly unfurnished.

Cost: §118,573

The backyard is smaller, but there's room in the side-yard to add a swing set or other play equipment for the Simlets so they don't get bored...or, leave it as is to encourage some extra creativity and interest in nature by having them look for bugs, or catch butterflies!

And a view of the side-yard looking toward the back of the property:

A note about the driveway and garage: In sticking with the original house plans it made the driveway and garage inaccessible-meaning they are purely decorative. It is possible to place a driveway over top of the pavers with the "moveobjects" cheat, but you'll have to do that each time you load the lot.

Use the garage as a workout room, or pop a woodworking station in there and create classic toys to entertain the neighborhood!

This is a lot I originally built back in 2006 or 2007, and that should have been shared to my Simblr with the group of lots I put up in 2022, but it seems to have been missed! I took this opportunity to re-do the roof and dress the garden beds up a little. If you're one of the folks who snagged the old lot (which was available in my main SFS files folder), please redownload. 😊

Even though the home is mostly unfurnished I did grab a couple shots of the interior.

Kitchen:

Entryway and stairs: Why stairs? This picture shows off the new plain white (NO more ugly bright aqua stripe!!1) Euro stairs and railing default that Rosie shared with me in response to a WCIF! Grab it here if you need it for your game too. I have always liked the shape of these objects but have never been able to use this color of the set because of that glaring bright blue stripe. 🤭 Look for these stairs and railings to feature in a lot more of my builds! Now I just need to find someone who wants to remove the bright blue stripe from all the other items in the white version of the OFB Euro set.

They are open underneath, so I've put a few decorations up to show that feature off. Feel free to change the décor to fit your sim family's style.

1st Floor: Clockwise from bottom right: dining room, 1/2 bathroom, kitchen, garage, bathroom, laundry room, family room, office nook, stairwell, living room.

2nd Floor: 4 bedrooms, and 3 more bathrooms. 🎉

Voluminous Victorian: MF | SFS

All EPs and SPs are required.

I’ve run this home through the Lot Compressor so any random references to sims that aren’t there should be removed. I have also run this lot through the Lot Cleaner to remove any bits of buggy code. This lot comes with a shiny custom thumbnail so it has even more curb appeal in your Lots and Houses bin! 😄

This home has only 2 pieces of CC, which you may already have in your game. These can easily be replaced or omitted if you don’t want them though.

CC List (Included): -Maxis Match Wall Cabinets by CTNutmegger at ModtheSims -LG Dryer & Washer Machine by Fresh-Prince at ModtheSims (If you want a functional version try this set by MustLuvCats instead.)

Default Replacements Shown: -Plain white default of the OFB Euro stairs and fence rail by Rosie (Rosebine at MTS2) -Bay Tree texture default by @tvickiesims

Skybox used in the main images: -"Spectacular Sunset" Skyglobe by iCad Thanks to @simmergetic for the inspo! The pink sky went with this lot and all its pink flowers so nicely.

I ALWAYS recommend using the Sims 2 Pack Clean installer to install lot files.

The Ships Have Arrived for Market Day!

The Merchants are HERE! These are my gifts to you as we celebrate opening the new Market!

Presenting three rabbit-hole ships for your Villages!

Merchant Ship - Grocery Store

War Ship - Military

Pirate Ship - Criminal

[You can swap the script out for any rabbit hole that you need. Just be sure to build a bigger port!]

All ships are around 14K, but remember they are rabbit holes - so it shouldn't harm your game at all to have a few - it's no different than any other world with rabbit hole buildings.

The ships float on water but can be placed on land as well. The "door" is near the anchor. If the ship is in water, the sim will simply swim to it. No lot is needed for the ship to perform as usual.

_____________________________________________________________

The second item I have for you is a Merchant wagon!

The wagon performs the same way as the humble harvest stands - and it has slots! I've tested several items and it seems hit or miss whether you can interact with the objects inside the wagon, but either way it's cute and functional! Not lot is needed for them to perform - you can place them anywhere around your world to have easy access for food and supplies!

You can swap the script out for ani's OFB stand if you would prefer that instead!

These will be in my warehouse at the Market!
