For anyone who is getting the Sims 2 Legacy without IKEA. The old extracted packs I did for Mac users should work. edit: no celebrations either? Link below is all the packs I extracted back when I played on a Mac.

JA NO PLUMBBOBS - NEIGHBORHOOD ONLY EDIT

This is just an extract from the well-known ja-viera's No Plumbbobs mod. The mod originally appears in two versions: the full version (hiding all plumbbobs and special indicators in the game: over the sims, pets, and lots in NH view), and Sims-only version (just a part that hiding only visible-on-lot indicators). You can found both in the @sims2packrat re-hosted sfs folder.

I find the indicators above the sims' heads useful, and prefer to hide them in other ways if I need it. But in neighborhood view special indicators (plumbbobs, simoleons, luggages etc) are pretty useless for my gameplay and inappropriate during the screenshoting. Well, I have separated the NH part of the mod to solve this.

All credits goes to Ja-viera, I just removed the lot-related resources from the file.

I saw these modular curtains by Feenwald in @jodeliejodelie's videos, found them and now intend to use them EVERYWHERE. They had some good recolors already but not enough neutral colors, so I made some. A total of 42 recolors because each color comes in solid and sheer version. You might think it's too much, but they are really nice curtains.

I separated them in two folders for your convenience after I've already numbered them, therefore the numeration may seem odd.

Meshes are NOT included, get them and the original recolors HERE

textures are 256x512

[ts2] Broyhill & Modern Wood kitchen recolors

Yes...I really love recoloring kitchens for some reason. Maybe because I can never have enough of them in my game :3 I've recolored the Brohill counter & The Modern wood cabinet (All the other meshes are repo'd to them so that's nice)

You need LordCrumps meshes in these folders:

Trying this tomorrow, cos I've only managed to make clean installer work perfectly one time and haven't been able to replicate it 🤣 will report back!

Tutorial for making "Open with..." work on Linux with Windows programs (and installing Sims/Lots via CleanInstaller that way)

sorry for the convoluted title, but I didn't know how else to name this.

Anyway, you know how on Windows you can simply double click on .Sims2Pack files and CleanInstaller will automatically open them? Same with .package files and SimPE.

This doesn't work on Linux out-of-the-box, because both SimPE and CleanInstaller are Windows programs. However, there is a way to make it work just like that.

I will be writing this tutorial for CleanInstaller, but you can do the same with SimPE. You'll then be able to install lots and sims by simply double clicking those install files, just like how you'd do it on windows.

What we need to do is to create a .desktop file for our program, which will make it available in the list of programs when selecting "Open with...".

Go to /home/[PC name] Then hit ctrl+h to show hidden folders. From there, go to .local/share/applications.

Inside that folder, create a new file and name it CleanInstaller.desktop

Open your new file with a text editor like KWrite or Kate.

In the file, write the following:

[Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=CleanInstaller Icon=[add a path to the .ico file you want to use, this is optional] Exec=WINEPREFIX="/home/[insert PC name]/Games/the-sims-2/" "/home/[insert PC name]/.local/share/lutris/runners/wine/wine-ge-8-26-x86_64/bin/wine" "[insert path to CleanInstaller.exe]" %U Categories=Game

If for whatever reason your runner for the Sims 2 is different (meaning it is NOT wine-ge-8-26-x86_64), then change it in the text above! It needs to be the same runner as the game is using.

Save your file.

To test, go download a sim or house, right click the file, select "open with..." and see if CleanInstaller is in the list.

Tip for people who use KDE plasma: Right click on a .sims2pack file, select "Properties". In the new window, click on "Change..." or "Add..." next to "Open With". Another window will open. At the bottom under "Applications preference Order", click on "+Add..." and select CleanInstaller. Apply the change and now you can simply double-click .sims2pack files to open them in CleanInstaller automatically.

Just some reminders for my sweet swimming friends in the TS2 community:

1. Modern EA are the most talented disappointers I have ever come across. Expect little, be pleasantly surprised if there's a higher quality than that. I have been consistently let down by EA for the last 10 years and I doubt that's going to change any time soon. Hype is RARELY (dare I say never?) met 🤣

2. "Re-Release" is not the same as "Re-Master". "Optimised for Win10/11" may just mean we don't need to let Graphics Rules Maker update the GraphicsCards.sgr file with modern GPUs, maybe GRM won't have to unlock higher screen resolution, and maybe the Sim shadows won't be black boxes without DXVK or a mod. Woo 🎉

3. Let's all agree to either ignore the "Big UTuberz" playing TS2 very badly (i.e. no idea what a cheat code is) for "the nostalgia" and then promptly dropping it again, or go comment on the videos to point out the sheer stoopid 🤦🏼‍♀️

4. Sims 2 has been available to play for the last 20 years regardless of EA, and if they put it behind a paywall, it will no doubt still be available to play. (Same with TS1 for that matter) 🥸

5. Best case scenario in my head? If I "DARE to dream"? - Maybe we won't all need to continue switching to Linux to get rid of Pink Flashing. Lol. But I doubt it. 🙈

It is nice to see that Sims 1 and Sims 2 are actually being recognised for the 25th anniversary of this franchise. Better than the usual tactic of trying to pretend the games never existed. But let's all keep our heads screwed on straight here.

Now, back to building my new mega downloads folder of doom 😎

[teaaddictyt]

Stock All Harvestables

Stock All Harvestables

Adds a "Stock All" menu option to fridges that can be stocked with fresh food that transfers ALL such items from the Sim's inventory into the fridge.

Additionally adds menu options to "Remove Groceries" and "Remove Fresh Food"

Thanks to FranH for the idea.

[teaaddictyt]

Yeeeee!! Saw this mod in @belladovah 's latest Sims 2 mods video, sooo happy so see these retextures and improvements 😍

Sims 2 female defaults dump

Hey ya'll,

So to celebrate my fabulous new pink-free simming experience, I decided to make a new Downloads folder, lol. Starting with CAS, I started getting myself some defaults for all the things, and since I recently learned how to make defaults for myself, I... uh... may have gotten a little carried away and made a few.

Some of these outfits may already exist as defaults for different things, I don't know, I was just making stuff that suited my folder and thought I'd share it with ya'll. So here you go!

Everyday defaults:

(1) ufbottomflaredpantssandles - replaced with these lovely pants by SkittlesSims. This will replace these pants for teens, young adults and adults - Download

(2) aftoptuckedwaist - replaced with these lovely tops by LucillaSims - Download

(3) afbottomshortshorts - replaced with these cute shorts by LucillaSims - Download

(4) aftopsleevelessshirt - replaced with this nice top from SkittlesSims (belted top) - Download

(5) afbottomchiqjeans & afbottomstarjeans (H&M) replaced with these lovely jeans by SkittlesSims (worn jeans) - Download Chiq Jeans / Download Star Jeans

afbodyexerciseep8 replaced with Kayleigh83's athletic outfits - I'm obsessed with these atm and have made them into many defaults!

DOWNLOAD

afbodydressonesleeve replaced with DeeDee's lovely Juliet gown

DOWNLOAD

Inspired by ElloSims and her awesome multi-wedding-dress-defaults for the "dressformaltrumpet", and my ADORATION and obsession with DeeDee's wedding dresses, here is a multi-part default for afbodydressweddinghourglass, with 5 of DeeDee's wedding dresses -

Halima Dress, Double Diamond, 3t2 off shoulder, Sentate's Lana Dress, and BEO's wedding dress 02 with morphs added by DeeDee!

DOWNLOAD

And along a similar vein, afbodydressweddingshort with moooore dresses by BEO and DeeDee -

4t2 Joliebean Olivia Dress, one left as default (cos I think it's kinda cute?), and BEO's Holiday Wedding Dress & Grown Up Wedding Dress with morphs added by DeeDee

DOWNLOAD

Thank you SO MUCH to the creators whose work I have used; converting clothes is hard!! We appreciate you so much ❤️ That's it for part 1, I will also have posts coming out over the next little while with male defaults, and some kids & teen defaults.

Enjoy! xo

[ts2] Myshunosun Birthday Cake Seatings - Recolors

Anyway, this is terasims conversions of myshunosuns birthday seatings, not pictured is the armchair. The loveseat and armchair are repo'd to the sofa, which is neat and all that jazz. All recolors come with white pillows because that's how I roll :)
