I'm a fan of traits & trait mods and I really liked Atomtanned's mod /based on Dill's Turn-Ons & Turn-Offs/. This is quite an extensive edit - I just wanted to adjust it a little for my game and once I started I couldn't stop xD

Atomtanned's Trait-Based Chemistry EDIT

& (optional mod) ONLY TO Chemistry

⚡ Download: SFS ⚡BOX

11.11.2024 third UPDATE of Chemistry Mod. Fixed: Loner not triggering Introvert TO, Alien genetics trigger Alien TO correctly, Facial hair TO triggers correctly, Hats do not trigger Intellect TO, Cologne doesn't trigger Occult TO. Thanks for the fixes go to @episims . Correct file has "Update3" in the name

*Archive contains PDF file with detailed list of changes (added / removed stuff) and a few notes.

🟢 Trait-based Chemistry mod edit is available in 7 Languages: English, German, Finnish, Polish, Swedish, Russian, French

❕ New stuff: added Facial Hair TO (replaces Daydreamer), Business Shark TO (was: Serious), Expressive TO (was: Unique). Increased hobby and interest requirements from 5 to 8 pts, Formal wear added to Stylish TO - and more...

I also included an optional mod that switches off Zodiac / Aspiration chemistry and balances out the chemistry bolts gain - so it makes chemistry betwen Sims much less complicated. Obviously it will only be useful for those who like to control every aspect of their Sims romantic lives. Details under the cut.

You'll need Traits /and stuff required for these to work/.

Credits: @atomtanned , @lilbabydilljr , Epi for their TO replacements, @lazyduchess for Lua script

@peanuttysims for No Zodiac & Aspiration attraction (MTS2 link)

I used TS4 icons, icon mashups/ edits, and my own.

Thanks: @tvickiesims , @vegan-kaktus , @lilakartoffelbrei . Special thanks to @episims for all the support 💎🤗

*This is for The Sims 2

More under the cut:

Trait-based Chemistry mod

It will replace original TS2 turn-ons and turn-offs with entirely new ones (only hair colors and fitness/fatness are unchanged!).

It conflicts with NickM406's No More Loading the * Family mod , and Tunaisafish’s Attraction Fix, make sure you don't have tunaisafish_fix_attractiontraits package in your Downloads.

🟢 It's compatible with mods that change /or switch off Zodiac chemistry, Aspiration chemistry, or both.

⚡TURN-ONS / TURN-OFFS:

Note: I've added and removed some stuff, for example Plantsims and Bigfoot from 'Occult' TO, and Zombies from 'Undead' TO!

*"Ghosts" = sims turned into playable ghosts, with Ghost trait (and Mermaids are sims with mermaid trait, but ofc you don't need these to be able to use this mod).

*Known issue: Servo (as such) doesn't trigger this TO. That has been fixed.

🔸 Hobby requirements in Dill's / Atomtanned's versions (as well as interest) were set to 5 points, which is kinda an average in my game. I don't want TOs to trigger too easily so I've increased these to 8 points, just like Skill point requirements.

Update: I've removed One True Hobby checks, so now only actual hobby enthusiasm points matter for triggering TOs.

I also increased good reputation requirement from 30 to 60.

Above is the comparison of original vs new TOs, in the exact order.

FYI I've fixed the little mistake I've found in the mod - in my version stylish TO works as it should.

If you have any questions about how the game calculates attraction, read this.

And here's free version (SFS) of my buyable ReNuYu potion default, will be useful if you'd like to correct TOs for all your Sims.

"ONLY TO Chemistry" mod

Conflicts with No Zodiac Chemistry by Belladovah , chemistry mods by Peanutty (it incorporates their "No zodiac and no Aspiration"mod) and any other that contain Attraction Constants BCON and Attraction Tuning BCON.

In unmodded TS2 game, interests and skills do not play part in attraction. Trait-based chemistry changes that only to some extent because Zodiac and Aspiration are more important. To make TOs the crucial attraction factor in my game, I disabled Zodiac / Aspiration Chemistry, and tweaked bolt requirements.

This mod makes chemistry between Sims straightforward and TO-based however various bonuses to attraction also apply (!), like Beauty Wish, Vacation bonuses, bonus for very good rep or penalty for extremely bad reputation (even if your Sim likes bad guys, they will be put off by Dirty Dirtbag status, and enticed by extremely good rep). Anyways, if you use this mod and your Sims have no other attraction bonuses, then:

if one Sim has a turn-on towards the other, and the other has none, it results in no bolts

if one Sim has two turn-ons towards the other, and the other has none, Sims have one bolt chemistry

if one Sim has a turn-on towards the other, and the other has a turn-off, it results in negative chemistry

if a couple has single turn-ons towards each other, it gives them one-bolt chemistry

couple has three turn-ons, that gives them two bolts

couple has three turn-ons, one turn-off, that gives them one bolt

couple has double turn-ons, they have three-bolt chemistry

Special bonuses granted by mods for certain Traits like the "irresistible" still matter of course.

50+ Brand New Mods for The Sims 2!

I've compiled every single mod I found for The Sims 2 released in the first quarter of 2024 (Jan-March) and showcased them all in a video and written a list on my brand new website!

Check out the video:

Check out my website post

Thank you to all the creators that shared their mods so far this year and made this video possible💚 @episims, @anachronisims, @cityof2morrow, @sunmoon-starfactory, @gummilutt, @morepopcorn, @picknmixsims, @jacky93sims, @limeyyoshi, @pforestsims, @simnopke, @lordcrumps, @jacobaoconnor, @noodlebelli, @simcaistk, @socialbunny, @redsimmer-blog, @tvickiesims

Catch You on the Flippity Flop!

a TS2 traits expansion

by @anachronisims (sufficeittosay) and @cityof2morrow

Part 1: New Traits!

What you get: 16 new trait object files for your personality diversity pleasure. Most of them are opposites of existing 3t2 traits that didn't already have them. One is just because :)

Big Spender (opposite of Frugal)

Black Thumb (opposite of Green Thumb)

Can't Carry a Tune (opposite of Virtuoso)

Climate Denier (opposite of Eco-Friendly)

Difficulty Reading (opposite of Bookworm)

Dislikes Animals (opposite of Animal Lover)

Dislikes Cats (opposite of Cat Person)

Dislikes Dogs (opposite of Dog Person)

Dreamer* (the intersection of Ambitious and Absent-Minded)

Generous (opposite of Mooch)

Homebody (opposite of Adventurous)

Minimalist (opposite of Gatherer)

Nudist (opposite of Never Nude)

Slow Learner (opposite of Genius)

Sweet Tooth (just because)

Terrible Cook (Natural Cook)

(*) I know @lilbabydilljr released a Dreamer trait already as part of the hidden/scrapped TS3 traits collection, but I wanted to change the flavor text and concept of it. My spouseman is a real dreamer-content-to-dream and I felt the TS3 scrapped version was too close to Ambitious. So @cityof2morrow made a different icon for it, and changed the GUID as well because Dill's conflicts with HB's simlife goggles. However, the file name is the same as Dill's and will overwrite it.

ETA: These are traits objects that WILL appear in your catalog in Gen/Misc. They are NOT added to the traits collection file as I don't use it. Feel free to do so yourself, of course.

What's coming next: Updates to existing traits mods that are plausibly affected by these traits (plus some personal preference tuning). Check out the to-do list here. Suggestions welcome and encouraged! Anyone who would like early access as a beta tester, please let us know!

Grunge/Post-Apocalyptic CC Masterlist

Grunge and post-apocalyptic custom content used to be quite popular back in the day, be it made from scratch or converted from other games, like Fallout or Silent Hill. Since its appeal waned, much of that cc has become lost or forgotten about, buried under dead links or long-defunct blogs.

Recently, I tracked down as much as I could for my Apocalypse Challenge, and I thought it might be useful to put together a working master list for those who might be interested in recapturing the vibe of 2008-era GoS or just setting up a run-down hood of their own. A few people seemed to agree, so here it is!

☢️The Grunge Masterlist☣️

(Google Docs link)

It goes without saying that this is NOT a complete list of all grungy cc ever made; I will update it as I find/remember other things. The list also focuses more on build/buy cc and less on CAS content.

If you know of cc I've missed, feel free to send me the link(s) (this includes CAS content - in fact, it's encouraged!)

If you find broken links or other weirdness, let me know and I'll try to fix it.

⚙️ Various Mod Edits

These are some edits that I've made for my own use. I'm sharing because they might be useful for someone, but here's the deal:

⚠️ I won't make other versions/offer conflict support for these mods.

If you experience problems with them and HCDU+ doesn't report a conflict, please let me know. I've tested these mods and I use them in my own game.

If you find a mod conflict or feel like these edits aren't quite what you're looking for, please don't message me about it. The easy solution is to opt out of using these.

Thanks for understanding!

Visitor Controller Edit

An edit of the visitor controller version by @midgethetree.

Incorporates this trait mod by @hexagonal-bipyramid, so Loners show up on community lots and as walkbys less often.

There's a new a blocker object found under general/misc. Put this object into the inventory of any sim, and they won't show up on community lots or as walkbys at all.

Enables children and teens to visit community lots even when there aren't playable children/teens present.

Download (SFS) (alternate)

Requires: the trait_MAIN from 3t2 traits project (as the blocker object uses its mesh). Doesn't require using any of the traits.

Towel Mod by Color Traits with Inappropriate Behavior

A further 3t2 trait edit of my color trait towels mod.

Makes inappropriate sims change into naked instead of the towel after a shower/bath.

As a side effect, inappropriate sims might stay naked in some other situations where the game usually pushes the sim to put the clothes on asap.

Download (SFS) (alternate)

Requires: meshes & recolors from the original mod, the easy inventory check, and sauna towels by color traits mod.

Update (31.3.2024): Sims are more considerate about changing out of the towel/bathrobe when they go to sleep.

Higher Relationship Requirement for Dining Groups

Not really an edit, but there's only a point in using this with simler90's dining group mod, even though this is a separate mod.

Raises the short-time relationship needed for visiting sims to dine together from 5 to 40.

Download (SFS) (alternate)

Requires: the dining group mod.

Committed Polyamorous Relationships Without Engagement Requires Steady

An edit of the committed polyamorous relationships mod by @palominocorn.

Proposing doesn't require sims to be going steady first.

Download (SFS) (alternate)

Unconventional relationships hurray

Polyamory Friendly Go Steady Wants/Fears

An edit of the go steady want/fear restrictions by @lamare-sims.

Adults who are engaged/married to someone can still roll the want to go steady with another sim.

Download (SFS) (alternate)

Requires: A mod that allows adults to go steady (look at the previous mod in this post) and the go steady wants being enabled for adults from want trees.

Greeting/Goodbye Kisses Restrictions With Kissing Enabled For Committed Only

An edit of the greeting goodbye kisses restrictions that is a part of Romantic Standards edits by @midgethetree.

Only sims who are in a committed relationship with each other kiss upon greeting or saying goodbye.

Television Channels (Recreation or new) Default Replacement Project? (need helpers!)

so, I have stumbled across a tutorial on how to change your Television channels on the game because I mean- would you really let your sim watch a 128 x 128 crunched-up pixels?

I was thinking at first, it would be fun recreating the channels in the game but in a better quality; but I was also debating on just making a new one from scratch! so as I did; I'm just doing some editing:

for a weather forecasting scene!

As you can see, the only tools for video editing that I have is Capcut and obviously; it's not gonna cut it when it comes to the editing! So as I'm still figuring it out, I need people to brainstorm and help me with the editing because obviously I'm lacking in that part!

So if you're interested in helping out, I'd love to hear from you!

On a whim, I poked my head in on the O'Mackey family and saw they were in the midst of some Riverblossom Hills Witch Project shit. Love that for them.

New Traits for TS2

Happy 5 years to my blog! Here's a gift for everyone. There's 2 versions inside the download, a catalogue version and a collection only version. There's also a new collection file, make sure to replace your old file, this goes in Collections, not Downloads.

Download (SFS)

Edit July 10/23: The original trait randomizer shares a GUID with the Boring trait. Either change its GUID, or use another method to randomize traits.

Edit July 18/20: Wannabe Moodlets and SimLife Goggles also share GUIDs. Change them as well, or remove trait_crybaby and/or trait_dreamer.

This is all the traits that had icons available on the wiki. Wanton has a description.

Included is a list of GUIDs for modders. I was unsure about doing the WA culture traits (they don't have a description for 1) and the Future Sim trait, but maybe I will one day?

At the moment these don't actually do anything, just like regular traits. They don't get added via the randomizer at the moment, but I thought they'd be a fun little touch.

Thanks to everyone who downloads my stuff! I've really gotten back in the groove of creating again and it's a lot of fun. Please let me know if there's any issues!

[signyacid]

Long story short i found these skins on default database and had to have them in my game so i defaulted them you can get the custom versions from here all credit goes to eir-sims for the creation of these skins and as always you can only pick one version to have in-game.

Download: svartalfheim

thanks @frauhupfner : for the custom versions

@eir-sims-uploads incase you wanna repost this.

UPDATE: I fixed the files both defaults should work now just lemme know if there's still problems and i'll fix it.

Happy "It's January, time to watch Twin Peaks!" Season to all who celebrate. 🦉☕️🪵⛰️

I'm excited to say that I've begun a new passion project. The idea started festering in 2022-2023 when I watched TP for the first time and COULD NOT unsee the similarities between TP/Pleasantview.

Please don't hold your breath for this, as you can see from the pictures above this hood idea is very much in its infancy stages. But it's so nice to work on another sim project again I had to post something about it! 🥰

And finally, if there's any other TP/Sims 2 crossover fans like me out there, I would greatly appreciate any favourite details, etc., that you'd like to see included!

What else is new in Neptune?

Well, I finally used the community lot I earned for reaching 20 households and built another restaurant. It will be the new go to spot for romantic dates, especially during the colder seasons.

There's also a new healthcare center in Neptune, owned by Farai Moyo, which means that there's now one position open in the medicine career :D btw, I will change the colors of the simlish letters on the healthcare center xD

There's a bank & career service business, owned by Liam West. This means that sims now can take out loans, open up bank accounts, and look for open job positions on the job seeking noticeboard - all for a fee, of course.

Also, there's a florist shop, owned by Autumn Sharpe. I once again repurposed a building I built for Florence in Pleasantview xD It looks a little bit out of place in Neptune, but I think I want most of the businesses to look something like this in the future. The florist shop is not furnished though, and won't be until I'm playing Autumn at the end of the rotation.

As you might be able to see in the first picture, I also added four new town houses to make room for more sims who can't afford the more expensive houses.

Lastly, I love the family portraits other simmers like marmiteprinter and rena-sims end their rotations with, and I want to start doing something similar. However, I think I'll start the rotations with a family portrait, along with a short description of the sims. I feel like that could be helpful for those of you who don't read every single post, are new to my bacc, or have a bad memory like I do xD

With all that said, I think I'm ready to start rotation 15 :)

My Traits Project (TS3 traits for TS2) Mods Sheet

I am planning to incorporate TS3 traits full time to my game play I need something that would make easier for me to navigate through all of Trait Projects mods I use and planning to add to the game.

So here is my spreadsheet. I love spreadsheets.

It took me more time than it should and I am not even done. If someone has some recommendation for Traits Project mods, I will be more than happy.
