Hello! I’m not sure whether you are WCIF-friendly, but in your screenshots of 21 Feb, you seem to have used a recolour of the Maxis Seasons dresser in the bedroom, and I wondered whether you would mind telling me where I can find it please? Thank you!

hi @curiousb !! that recolor is from @withlovefromsimtown 's big recolor set of the seasons furniture. It is like my favorite recolor set ever!!

here is part one that includes the dresser: https://withlovefromsimtown.tumblr.com/post/185831097260/ there is also a part 2 that recolors some more seasons stuff: https://withlovefromsimtown.tumblr.com/post/616045437728817152

Happy February everyone! <3

When Lifa (@withlovefromsimtown) released all those fabulous hairs 2 years ago (1), most of them immediately went into my "to do" folder to eventually add them to my own game. Including this one. Two years later, I have finally gotten around to slightly tweaking the shading so it blends in with the other hairs I've recolored. ;;;;>_<

This recolor uses Lifa's textures and comes in Remi’s naturals, my usual variety of unnaturals (2), and selection of naturals (3), and is sorted with the other medium-length hairs I’ve recolored.

Female colors packaged individually: http://simfil.es/4418377/

Female fewer files (4): http://simfil.es/4418378/

Male colors packaged individually: http://simfil.es/4418379/

Male fewer files (4): http://simfil.es/4418380/

Both “colors packaged individually” and “fewer files” versions include all the same hairs (just packaged slightly differently) and come with base, color swatch, mesh, and preview pictures included; choose only one. I own nothing so you can’t sell it. :)

Thank you Lifa for all of the fantastic cc (including this one) that you've given us! <3

For the few of you that haven't checked out Lifa's Simblr yet... maybe make some room in your downloads folder. >.<

I tested out the functional machine slots that @withlovefromsimtown created. Thank you much! :)

TS2 Country/Western Music Posters

Hey, all! Remember how I've been bitching and moaning for weeks about there not being any good country/western music posters in Sims 2? Well, be the change you want to see in the world, and all that- here's 19 country-music-themed posters (and one rock poster)!

DOWNLOAD (SFS) (MTS) (Simblr.cc)

THESE ARE RECOLOURS OF @lordcrumps' 4t2 BASEGAME POSTERS. You will need to download, at minimum, the MAIN poster to be able to use these.

If you want a cool effect like this:

I'd recommend getting all the posters from the 4t2 set- you can mix, match, and layer to get some really neat effects!

(credits and details under the cut)

You get five Dolly Parton themed posters, five Johnny Cash themed posters, five posters for a Generic Female Country Star, three posters for a Generic Male Country Star, and two posters for music festivals. One is a country festival held in Riverblossom Hills, and the other is a rock festival based specifically on @simhealing 's uberhood.

CREDITS:

Aoife's Maxis Match Face Templates UPDATED.

Now less gendered, more consistent between ages, and with baby faces! More info and a bunch of pictures below.

Finally, after months, I have finished these. A long time ago now, I'd made my original templates but didn't really pay any mind to how gendered faces really are, and how inconsistent they are between each age. I love the Maxis faces, I just wanted them to look a little less lumpy, and to replace ones that I felt were redundant. Basically, I hated that with any given template, I couldn't really tell what a sim was going to look like as an adult because every face looked different at each stage!

So today I bring to you my less gendered Maxis Match templates, where I have chosen which face I felt was more iconic and matched the other gender with it, and then made every age look more like that template (including baby faces).

Martin Ruben can be a good example:

Yeah, sure, the eyes are the same, but that's pretty much where the likeness ends. A lot of the templates will do this, and some of the female faces suffered for it (jaws were outlawed on females in 2004, didn't you know?)

They aren't perfect but they're miles better than the originals! I also think they bring a lot more variety to faces, because I did notice that a lot of the templates would use face parts from entirely different templates! Face 2's eyes and face 1's nose are really popular, as well as yeeting jaws and chins out the window.

Faces 1 - 4

Faces 5 - 8

Faces 9 - 12

Faces 13 - 16

Faces 17 - 20

Faces 21 - 24

Faces 25 - 27

An example between AF and TF

and the same face as a child and toddler.

If you noticed in some of the pictures, the ears clipped through a few hairs, and that's because I also took the liberty of adding custom ear shapes to almost every face. No, it didn't occur to me to change the hairstyle I picked for photos until I was already on face 18 and didn't want to start over.

These aren't perfect, and maybe someday I'll go over them again to change more minute details, but for now, I'm very happy with how they turned out! Please let me know if there are any issues, I triple checked everything but I probably missed something somewhere.

@withlovefromsimtown for giving me the idea in the first place. I love their faces!

Nenps Fish Scales as Mermaid Overlays

I've done my own take of mermaid overlays before, but! Then @angelapleasant shared the textures for some of @weepingsimmer's recolors of Nenps fish scales, and these are so so beautiful.

Angelapleasant mentioned that the textures had some seams on TS2 body though, so I went and fixed them. They're still far from being pixel perfect, but I find them acceptable now.

I made all frames share the same textures and paired purple scales with blonde hair, turquoise with brown, red with red, and blue with black. I also made a new grey-ish scale recolor for grey hair.

The file comes in two versions: with or without a sharp teeth mask that I've gotten from these overlays by @withlovefromsimtown.

Download (SFS) (alternate)

The files are compressed. As mermaid overlays always, these are meant to replace the mermaid scale overlay by @midgethetree and be used together with their mermaid mod.

⚠️ If you already downloaded angelapleasant's version or don't like my choice of color combinations, their version of the overlays is now updated with my edits of the textures but with the color combinations they originally used. Their upload also includes matching face scales as layerable blushes.

Credit to everyone mentioned and also to @paluding for the tattoeer!

Well, I decided that Maxis Match is actually the way to go so now I need to seriously reconsider my Downloads folder. I came to the realization that I don't hate the Maxis hairs, I just wish they were a little more cohesive in colour and available for more ages. So, here I am trying to fix that!

I have made one file with texture replacements for all of the Mansion & Garden hairs, and I have made some files with various fixes for the hairs. It'll make sense later, I promise! For now, I'll explain what the different hair files do.

Update 2024/09/06: Added age conversions to fhairearhat and uhairdreadsband.

fhairlongbangsep9: Contains @serabiet's mesh fix for less clipping and better animations, edited child and teen property sets to link hairs to same family, and toddler conversion.

fhairgwenupdo: Edited teen property sets to link hairs to the same family.

fhairaline: Mesh replacements for teen and adult hairs to add animations, edited teen property sets to link hairs to the same family, and age conversions for toddler and child.

fhairearhat: Mesh replacements for child and teen hairs to do... something? I don't remember why I thought they were necessary. Edited child and teen property sets to links hairs to the same family, and toddler conversion.

mhairachilles: Mesh replacement for child hair to fix transparency issue, edited child and teen property sets to... you get it, and toddler conversion, in true Maxis Match fashion with fivehead included.

mhairdavid: Mesh replacement for child hair to fix neck gaps, edited child and teen property sets, and toddler add-on using @withlovefromsimtown's age conversion with some mesh edits to add animations and reshape things a little.

mhairrealcloud: Edited child and teen property sets, and toddler conversion.

uhairdreadsband: Mesh replacement for teen female to add animations, edited teen property sets, and age conversions for toddler and child.

Now, these are shown with my Poppet v2 (inspired) texture replacements, but you can use them with someone else's texture replacements, or none at all. If you want them to look like the pictures, get my texture replacements. :)

Freckled Remix Skinblend!

Oh boy. I feel like if you like this skin, there's pretty much every shade you could want at this point. This will be my last upload related to the Remix Skinblend, originally created by @annachibisims and based on @whysim's Miscellaneous Skin 31. Unless of course I messed something up and have to fix it lol

This set contains 14 shades: the base tone, 12 natural tones by Trapping, and Trapping's Galaxy Quest. Bodyshop swatch:

The freckles I applied on top of the original skin were Deedee's Oliver freckles for the body (which I extracted from an overlay box by themeasureofasim) and Jessi's Freckles 27 for the face. I like that the face freckles are concentrated around the nose.

Some more skin details: babies and toddlers don't have any freckles, elders have light wrinkles, the teen/child faces are slightly different from the adult faces to look more youthful, and teens/adults have fitness states.

I made a custom and geneticized+townified set. The green alien shade is custom in both. I included a file showing the genetic scale in the gen+town download, but It's literally the exact same as my original recolors of this skin.

If this is your first time seeing these skins, here are links to the other Remix Skinblend posts: Annachibisims original skin and unnatural recolors, my recolors in Trapping's tones, and my recolors in AlfredAskew's RBG tones.

Update 9/13/2024: There was a weird property set in the custom and gen/town skins affected the scalps of young adult female sims. Please redownload.

[profesionalpartyguest]

(yes, bad previews are my specialty) omg breaking news everybody. i think i finally made a skin & eye set i'm full in love with (and will probably change my mind in a couple weeks but wtv). realistic but not shiny, maxis match yet can fit an alpha game too! and eyes that have a soul! The skin: It's just skin! comes in the 4 maxis defaults + 2 extra swatches, this is basically @withlovefromsimtown birthday suit, with ephermera's waterline, lips and eyelids from @lilith-sims's honey honey skinblend & @sixfootsims's teeth. i also tried my best to deal with the pixelation on some of the darker tones! for people wanting supernaturals, i use: lifa's og for genie, the honey honey zombie and @alanna-goth's wisteria galaxy quest recolor. (bless her, she helped me a lot with this project). Download the Skin.

the eyes: basically just @microscotch's lobster eyes but with most of the highlights painted out by me. 5 natural tones, 1 alien default & 1 vampire default. named bailando bc of the song i was listening to while making these. Download the Eyes. credits to (long breath): alanna-goth, ephermera, pooklet, aquilegia, lilith-sims, trapping, simnopke (wrinkles), @annachibisims (toddler teeth), @monharicot (the og eyes), withlovefromsimtown, mouseyblue, microscotch, lunareclipse (mouth corners), sixfootsims, mswn, io, anva & ME!!!

[nonsensical-pixels]

this was requested by... me! who was struggling with manual bone assignments close to midnight and finally said 'fuck it' 😅 after remembering that a maxis mesh with a somewhat similar shape to this warlock outfit existed, i just had to write a tutorial on how to use such meshes as clothing references for others 😌

this tutorial covers both bone assignments as well as morphs, just bear in mind the latter may not always turn out as well as the former. i'm working on a database of extracted maxis clothing meshes as wso's for future reference, but for now, do enjoy @withlovefromsimtown's wso templates masterlist and this tutorial as guidance.

TUTORIAL: GOOGLE DOCS | PDF 👔

if there are any tutorials that you need and feel i can provide, lmk! i'm still learning myself, so there's probably a lot of easier ways to do the things i do than my ways 🥰

from that, to this... a big improvement!!
