FADES WAVES AND TAPERS -CONVERSION COLLECTION

So I recently reached 500 followers, which is like CRAZY because I've only been posting content for a month?! The overwhelming amount of love and support I've received over the past month has made me misty-eyed on more than one occasion, ngl. Y'all have been so sweet and so wonderful and so extremely encouraging, I'm so proud to be part of this community💙! So, as a little thank-you present for everyone and as a nice end-cap for all the black male hair spam I did for Black History Month I've decided to drop a conversion collection of 21 male hairs themed around waves, fades and tapers for y'all!

Thank you so much everyone!

INFO:

None of this is my original work! All credit goes to @ceeproductions, @estrojans, @hellagoodsims,@xxblacksims, @xldsims, @pralinesims, & @mathcopesims.

Set contains 21 hairs for for Teen ➤ Elder Males

all of these hairs are gameplay safe! most of them are around 500 polys, the largest ones clock in at about 5k poly at most.

1024x textures

hairs are too short for root/tip controls so they're only 2 channels

credits, preview pictures, links to originals, poly counts and individual download links for every hair is under the cut.

these are meshes! the hair is NOT painted on the sims head like BG hairs!

but on the brightside that means they don't get that shiny look painted on hairs have.

some hairs have slight clipping issues around the temples but hopefully nothing too crazy tbh.

Happy December!

Last spring I was working on building the Hotel de Charost and in order to more accurately decorate it, I needed a few specific objects, including a daybed and canopy. I looked around the internet and no one had made what I needed for Sims 4. However, Cashcraft had made almost exactly what I needed for Sims 3. So I converted the set including the canopy and made some new textures for it. Although I shared a post including pictures of some of these conversions, I wasn't able to ascertain if Cashcraft had a TOS governing sharing her items as conversions. No one on Tumblr or S4S's forums could give me an idea (and her TSR page lacks one), so I shelved the idea of sharing it. Until September, when someone pointed me toward others who had done conversions of Cashcraft's work. I reached out to those of them who allowed messages and one responded encouraging me to go ahead and share them. So here they are! That being said, if anyone is in contact with Cashcraft and she wishes me to take these items down, please let me know and I'll remove them.

The Danbury Regency Collection (Part One) for Sims 3 can be found here, on TSR.

The Danbury Collection for TS4 includes 8 items, all of which are base game compatible.

Some Useful Notes:

The Daybed has slots on it so the pillows can be added without needing to use the move objects cheat.

There are also slots on the footstool.

The chair and oblong pillow are seen above in their medium LOD form: they have extra details in their high form.

Textures include both Cashcraft's original textures and several recolors.

Download individual files, a zip folder, or a merged package from SimFileShare here.

Made with S4S and TSRW.

Like these? Keep an eye out for next week when I share more Cashcraft conversions.

TSR CC Recommendations: TS2 Lot Builders

Nobody asked for this but I have a little time on my hands and I said I might do it, so here is a list of some TSR lot builders who I recommend checking out. A few notes under the cut before we get started (all details under the cut, as well, in case you aren't interested in my preamble):

This is not meant to be paid promotion for TSR. I believe TSR asking users to pay for their CC is ridiculous, especially for a 19 year old game they haven't supported in 7 years. But I spent many years uploading there during the peak-TS2 / pre-TS3 era and know there is great CC in their archives that newer players may not know about. And unlike TheSims2.com, which has sadly shuffled off this mortal coil, TSR's content is still available to freely download (assuming you can stomach the pop-ups and wait times)

This post will only be about lot builders because that was what I was primarily uploading and downloading in this era. I was friendly with some of the creators I am about to list, but none of them are still active members of the TS2 community.

The preview pics might be a little rough and the architecture styles will likely feel very dated compared to the most popular styles these days, which are more colorful, cluttered, and use 3t2 and 4t2 conversions. Re: the previews: too many of us were using free trials of PaintShopPro back then, and TSR limited us to 2 previews, so we did our best. Re: the styles: unlike pre-2010's CAS CC, which was full of hand painted and "realistic" textures (LOL), these are the same objects you can find in the game today, just being used in different ways! Sometimes for the first time! And, yes, while some of these creators used CC, it was mostly Homecrafter walls and floors, as you'll see below.

This was also the hey-day of CFE lot building, which has certainly fallen out of favor to more traditional builds (in part because graphics cards have improved and these types of builds don't look as good in 2024, and also because the great CFE experimenters, builders, and tutorial writers are no longer part of the community and their original discoveries are gone as well - I am happy to go down a massive rabbit hole on this piece of TS2 history if anyone else cares, but trust me, you don't have to care).

Alright that is enough caveating, here are some recs! (Links are in the creator's names and they take you to their Lots, though many of them have other creations, too).

Lord Tiko Speaking of great CFE builders! Lord Tiko built spaceships, boats, pagodas, domes, windmills and bridges, oh so many bridges before retiring mid-TS2 because of health issues. He was one of the first builders to take Daihtnaoz7's single and double bridge tutorials and apply them to really big lots. I'm still not sure how he built the Venice Rialto Bridge, or his other European water lots. Overall, a massive inspiration to me when I was prioritizing CFE builds.

Hatshepsut My favorite "traditional" home builder, and someone I considered a friend. She specialized in English and American builds, and I had many of Hat's houses in my old saves and was impressed by her range and decorating style which was (for the time) more varied than many of her peers. Knew how to take great preview pics of her houses, too.

Tigerblue Another builder I corresponded with, Tigerblue was probably the least prolific uploader on this list for sheer number of uploads, but she also crossed a range of styles. Her builds leaned way into specific styles (see the previews, these were all part of consistent sets of 3,4, or even 10 lots), but this was also what happened when a new EP dropped and everyone raced to uploaded builds using as many of the new objects and styles as possible. Tigerblue just happened to be better at it than most of us.

Cyclonesue Do current TS2 players know Cyclonesue? Because it's hard to think of someone who had a bigger impact on building and decorating of the era, first with her English and Tudor builds and later with her extremely distinct grunge creations. Seriously, check out her Urban Renewal series and the corresponding objects. Iconic stuff that surely now feels frozen in time. I probably only played 20% of her lots that I downloaded, but they still make for great hood decor. Like Tiko, someone who happily experimented with CFE.

Illiana The creator who inspired me to make this list is, ironically, the one on it who I know the least about (she is a Featured Artist but not in the Hall of Fame, whatever that means). I just started playing her Tri-Annyas fraternity house and have a few other lots floating around my game. She built in a range of styles, from classical to modern to Twikki Island to grunge. Revisiting some of them in-game, the TSR previews do not do them justice.

*EXHALES* If you made it to this point, kudos to you. I'm sure there are creators I've forgotten, and houses I haven't linked to, but this is a good starting point for digging into some of the eclectic builds the TSR(chives) have to offer (I just coined that, is it clever? It is not). Maybe I'll do a Part 2 if people like this.

If you have any favorites of your own, let me know what I missed! And as I do with my old Exchange re-uploads, I am tagging @sims2packrat and @oldasscustomcontent for general TS2 history awareness!

Luxy Body Scales as ACC - found under Socks

Enjoy! And Happy Black History Month!

Download set (packages) : Mediafire | SimFileShare

Descriptions & preview pics under the cut:

FLAWS: Nothing too crazy--I just wanted to point a few things:

Crown, Shoulders/Necklace, Hair

The ACCs in this set have an annoying tendency to BLUR when stacking. Which a serious problem if you use them with a Mermaid sim, cuz they all come with mermaid scale leg ACCs that inevitably cause blurring. Even if you use the "No Scales" mod at MTS (like I did), it just makes them invisible, it doesn't actually remove/unequip the scales. AFAIK there isn't a mod that lets us unequip the scales from CAS like we can with the Plantsim leaves or Vampire neck tattoo. So that sucks, sorry.

The hair was sooooo high poly it was crazy--I Decimated the mesh A LOT, which is why it looks pretty crappy TBH. The plain/regular Hair version is slightly higher poly than the Hat Hair, cuz I had to allow enough free polys for the crown and TSR was just NOT having it.

(This was hands down the most annoying set I've ever made; the blurring and the polys were just effing impossible to deal with.)

Eliavah Dress

Ain't no way I was gonna sit around converting some high poly BG3 dress when there was a darn-near-perfect one already made for TS3. 😅 So I just adios'ed all the extra chest straps, made the leather texture recolorable, and called it a dang day; I'm tired.

Luxy Scales

I made the Scales as ACC a billion years ago but never did anything with them. Then I realized how dang bad the blurring was with too many ACCs, so I quickly remade them as Full Body tatts--as always, CmarNYC's tattoo mod REQUIRED. (Luxysims removed all their TS3 CC when they migrated to TS4, so you can get the original Scales as Outfit here if you want).

And that's that!

[rachel-homeanddesign-sims]

Hello Simmers! I was kindly asked what other creators' worlds I like. I can't fully answer this question, because first of all it's a very big list of creators and I'm sure I'll forget someone and then it will make me feel sad. Secondly I think every world has its fans, some interesting locations that you want to explore. I always enjoy looking at Simmers screenshots of the worlds they post.

I'd rather tell about the world leaving me impatiently waiting to download it. The try to create a world was a long time ago for me. Maybe someone remembers Pavot Bleu, I liked it. Some of its parts were saved for the new world, such as the church and one lot on the bay. But it was chaotic and without an overall concept tying it together. I see that when I saw the world of Tørsvall. Everything here is well thought out, attention is paid to every detail. The scenery is beautiful. Each community lot is unique, with its own history, and what interesting descriptions they have! And there's also a radio station and a newspaper printing press! It's awesome! And if @bioniczombie inspired me to do TS4 to TS3 conversions, @omedapixel inspired me to create the World you see on my blog.

The final version of the World will include only the most necessary CC and only Maxis Match. The landscape of the town is pretty flat, there isn't much decor in the World, attention to routing. Originally it was 1024x1024, but then there was not enough space for mountains. So it's now 1536x1536. I know, that's a lot. But the routing isn't complicated. Anyway, I don't have the most powerful laptop, but this loads fast and no crashes even on max settings. Just don't setting to play Detailed Lots 8) There aren't many lots, there's not much decor, just the necessary for the game. Most of the neighborhood houses are 20x20. Hopefully there won't be any issue. Thank you!

What is Equus-Sims?

Let's take a walk down memory lane...

Equus-Sims started out as a blog that I opened sometime in 2010, where I could share equestrian-themed content for The Sims 2. Over the years, with the release of The Sims 3 Pets and the addition of horses, Equus-Sims grew into a wonderful community where we competed together in shows, wrote exciting stories, built legendary bloodlines, and made lifelong friendships along the way.

Featured Above The Lawrence Equestrian Center, or LEC, was the stable that started it all. We had no cc, no poses, nada, but we had our story that inspired countless others to open up their own stables, start their own blogs, and pretty soon we had a whole community of equestrian simmers who needed a place to come to call home, so we opened our first forum in 2012.

Our brand evolution below! 👇

When we launched our official "main site" in 2012, we took our community experience and turned it into a game all in its own right. We had breed and discipline associations that ran shows based on the real world, our players built legacies around their riders and horses, and we had a whole system dedicated to tracking points, growing pedigrees, and managing our stables.

Like all communities, we've had our ups and downs. Our growing pains. Our disagreements and our drama. We've split up, gone our separate ways and come back together again, opened up other communities, but at the heart of it all is the legacy we started over 10 years ago: to be a place where we can live out our equestrian dreams, together.

What's next for Equus-Sims?

In a way, history is repeating itself. With the addition of horses to The Sims 4, the ES community has the opportunity to grow and expand in ways like never before. We're welcoming both TS3 and TS4 players alike–although all simmers are welcome–to bring in fresh ideas and new perspectives that support our community mission to write the best chapter of Equus-Sims yet. I hope you'll come be apart of the journey. 💗

thank you for tagging me @irrewilderer! it’s a sims q&a thingamajig, under the cut! i will be very longwinded bc that’s how i roll

01: what’s your favorite sims death? the one you had when you got cursed by a mummy in ts3 world adventures. there is a lot of skeeviness around that whole pack, but i remember stumbling onto it in gameplay and it being deeply fucked up in a way recent installments refuse to match

02: alpha cc or maxis match? i lean maxis mix-ish but i don’t care about which way people lean ngl

03: do you cheat when your sims gain weight? this is a weird question and as someone who is experiencing a resurgence in [redacted] i think that whoever made this originally should be ashamed of themself.

04: do you use move objects? yes, no default sims grid placement may satisfy my hoarding tendencies.

05: favorite mod? ts2 needs a suite of mods to encourage it to not self-explode, but i am an acr enjoyer. with the right tuning it makes sims not breed like rabbits but have their own autonomy and people of interest that i find very enjoyable

06: first expansion/game/stuff pack you got? i believe that i got ts1 bundled with some expansion pack? so whichever one came after that until dad got tired and learned how to pirate so i could enjoy games hehe

07: do you pronounce “live mode” like aLIVE or LIVing? alive, i don’t care if it’s the wrong way

08: who’s your favorite sim that you’ve made? it has to be jess. it’s silly but writing her at times allows me to work through some shit of my own.

09: have you made a simself? i never cared to until i got me a wife who lives very far away from me hehe

10: what sim traits did you give yourself? no idea tbh, i forgot (i reek of ts3 absent minded trait)

11: what is your favorite EA hair color? the witching hour defaults and addon palette by pyxis my beloved

12: favorite EA hair? no friggin’ idea my dude

13: favorite life stage? this question would only make sense if eaxis put any thought into life stages other than young/adult since the release of the generations ep. but i’ve recently been reminded of how fun the ts2 teens are.

14: are you a builder or are you in it for the gameplay? is build/buy not a gameplay function? i can’t build to save my life but i enjoy decorating and live mode (in ts2 mostly)

15: are you a CC creator? as need and want hit me

16: do you have any simblr friends/a sim squad? LMFAO what kinda question is this!! no i don’t have a simblr avengers squad or anything and i’m over caring about it. there’s people in the community i’m fond of but i’m not trying to join or create a clique

17: what’s your favorite game? listen. i am going to obtusely pretend that this isn’t a sims interrogatory and talk about the games that have my heart right now bc i can’t choose a single game. you have been warned.

now and forever, the games that miyazaki has directed at fromsoftware, particularly the souls series and bloodborne (i haven’t played elden ring yet but i KNOW i will adore it) are very special to me. bloodborne is a masterpiece. and i am sad that discourse has morphed these games into everything that’s wrong with Gamers and Gatekeeping. the games and the 99% of the community aren’t about that. i walked into them as someone who’d mostly played games casually but loved the games that approach storytelling indirectly. i fell in love with the marriage of gameplay and theming. i love how miyazaki approaches storytelling as an act of archaeology. the world was there long before you. you’re a nobody. things are bleak and you can’t get a straight answer out of anything, but you have other people going through it with you. you can imbue meaning and history into things, and that is beautiful. and i am bitter that one can’t say that the games don’t need an easy mode without being deemed a gatekeeper. (the games were designed with multiplayer that allows other players to cooperate with you and help you. there are gameplay styles that make things easier. all out of the box)

i am a known tes lover but morrowind is the apple of my eye. it’s weird listening to essays about modern day open world design and its pitfalls and to see how morrowind largely circumvents these issues, all the way back in 2002. the lore is amazing and once more it places a large chunk of the meaning making on the player’s hands. vvardenfell is a wonderful region of morrowind and i enjoy the diverse landscapes from the humid and mysterious bitter coast, the harsh ashlands, and the welcoming breadbasket which are the ascadian isles (lovely until you stumble upon the plantations). the exploration and navigation are unmatched and nothing will ever match the skill that is navigating the world through in game directions and learning the silt strider, boat, and stronghold routes. not to get into mark/recall/almsivi and divine intervention. you arrive at vvardenfell as a stranger and the world is hostile, but as the character becomes more familiar with the land you the player master the transversal and that’s honestly some sexy marriage of theming and gameplay. some aspects have aged horribly which is why these days i play with the amazing sexual harassment remover mod.

i think everyone owes it to themself to play outer wilds (NOT worlds). it plays into the strengths i mentioned above. i can’t say much because it ruins the purpose of the game. it’s a tender bastard of a game that makes me so happy that i am alive at a time i can play it and makes me cry every time i listen to tracks from its ost. the writing is maybe the best i have ever witnessed in any art form (“the pain of your absence is sharp and haunting, and i would give anything to not know it; anything but never knowing you at all (which would be worse)”). just play it. i wish i could hire someone to bonk me on the head and give me selective amnesia so i could play it for the first time again. just. play. it.

there’s more, like octopath traveler which is quickly climbing through the ranks, darkest dungeon, pillars of eternity, project zomboid, dragon’s dogma, journey, and more

also, it’s ts2.

18: do you have any sims merch? ew, no

19: do you have a youtube for sims? ew, no

20: how has your “sim style” changed throughout your years of playing? it has, but i’m not quite sure i can describe it? it’s been decades of sims so of course it’s changed.

21: what’s your origin id? come back with a warrant

22: who’s your favorite cc creator? i am a known sforzcc simp

23: how long have you had a simblr? wouldn’t you like to know, weather boy (too long)

24: how do you edit your pictures? i use Very Legitimate photoshop. these days i just run a photopeia action that gives it some color aberration and slap some noise on it.

25: what expansion/game/stuff pack is your favorite so far? i love sims 2 freetime? hobbies are such a great addition to the game that just fits in seamlessly with the rest of the game

26: what expansion/game/stuff pack do you want next? the eaxis stop shoving shit into ts4 and fix issues and let the modders have it pack

[cozygirlsimmer]

💕 self-love time! talk about which ones of YOUR creations (edits, artworks, fanfics) you like the most then send to other sim-blogs to do the same 💕

okay, so I have a few edits/pics that I love!!

so firstly, the gshade preset that I have been working on, 'neon lights', has been an absolute delight. I love the way it makes everything look, it gives off this realistic, yet futuristic look, plus the colors. I studied color theory for a while and I have had so much fun applying that knowledge to TS3.

now these pictures right here, they touch my soul. I love how I made my game feel so cozy, especially in Monte Vista (my favorite world, by the way). Adding to it with detail and color to give it more life and history.

and lastly, the proudest creation I have is creating Ariana Grande. I had so much fun recreating a celebrity in ts3. I just went for it and decided to push myself to go that extra step, not only in my sim-making abilities (they are mid at times) but also in how to set up everything. this includes pose-making and cc creations.
