Today I'm very happy to bring you an update on this kitchen countertop. If you've been following me for a while, you might remember when I posted the first version (here), which was my first time trying to recolor this object. I remember having a lot of difficulty and giving up once, then trying again. The result at the time was wonderful for me, but with time and experience gained in recoloring, I started noticing imperfections that didn't bother me before.
Today, while redoing this kitchen countertop, I'm very happy with my progress. I believe I still need to learn much more, but we're moving in the right direction. This version has 5 options. I'll also leave links to the accessories for this item that make the kitchen even more complete, and I'm sure you'll love the result.
When I saw this dress the first time, I knew I would convert it one day! Well, the day has arrived 😅 AF only, has all morphs. It comes in the original 16 colors. The top part was made with the tattooer (by @paluding) :)
This would be @deedee-sims's 3t2 conversion of the Farmer's Market Dress. This is just the top only version, but it's for tf and af.
I did struggle a bit with ideas for these, because I was like, so it's like 2 shirts on top of a dress? How do I make that work? But I made the outer shirt for these recolors more of a 'heavy' texture and I think it came out nice.
I've included my own PSD in the upload, in case you'd like to make some RC's too.

New top based on this H&M SP mesh, I've remodelled the jacket into an open one. It comes with a bunch of recolors, and repositoried recolors for original H&M SP outfit.
📦 Sandra Jacket & T-shirt for AF Polycount: 1948, all morphs
& repo recolors for SandraJktFitJeans [H&M]
Download: SFS | BOX
Outfit recolors categorised as Everyday and Outerwear. Pic features this skirt recolor. My mesh tweak for SandraJkt outfit is recommended, but not required.
*This is for The Sims 2
Swatches under the cut:
This project lingered in my WIP folder for years. There are some details I wanted to fix, but never did. Yesterday I tried it out in the game and decided it's good enough.
Three recolors use original H&M textures (will be affected by texture replacements for this outfit):
Top mesh file contains black and white top textures, so you can easily swap white tshirt for turtleneck - or, remove the shirt entirely. I included TXMT setting files.
Pics below feature my mesh tweak for Sandra outfit.
I never seem to have enough kids clothes. You too, right? Especially for Spring/Fall. I know it doesn't matter in TS2 if their Everyday clothes are warm enough, but I like them to *look* seasonally appropriate. The wonderfully Spring/Fall ready EP20SweaterOverall was originally converted by @megamassikalove, but I'm weird about meshed shoelaces. (I'm weird in general.) I especially love the little sheepies on some of the textures, so I wanted to do a shoeswap. Then I found out that @pluto-sims' Let's Bounce outfit for TS4 used the same mesh, so there are a bunch of fun recolors already. Yay!
I swapped the sneakers for my conversion of @simkoos' TS4 kids hiking boots, which I'd previously paired with jeans. Some are my own recolors. I also added taller socks, which are the EAxis calf socks and some of my own recolors. And because I can't help myself and I like multiples of 5 for the swatches, I did a few recolors of the EP20 textures to bring it to an even 20. I shuffled the order around to keep the patterns together. Let's Bounce already had 33 textures and I couldn't think of any more to add, so it's still 33.
They're set for CU Everyday (even if they're only being modeled by the girls) and include mml's fat morph.

Hey everyone! I came across this amazing set by Trillyke and just knew I had to bring it into my game! It’s such a joy to see progress in what I’m doing, and working on this set was so much fun. ૮₍ ´ ꒳ `₎ა
The set includes a beautiful dress and a matching top + skirt combo. I hope you’ll love it as much as I do! If you run into any issues, feel free to let me know. With so many recolors, it’s easy to lose track sometimes. ૮ ・ ﻌ・ა

I've successfully scraped all of the available Custom Content that was linked on GOS from Mediafire, Box, and SimFileShare. (Mirrors on 4shared not included)
Of course, I can't go back in time to retrieve things that are already long gone but here's a .zip of 49 GBs of content. This is everything from the beginning of GOS to September 2023.
This is the entire site's worth of custom content scraped. There are a few things that you need to know.- This is not checked to see if depe
Soooo... I didn't intend for two highly requested fixes for The Sims 2 to drop within the space of a week and a half, buuuut...
Here's where you can download an experimental patch to fix the so-called 'object limit'!
https://github.com/spockthewok/TS2ObjectLimitFix
(Ultimate Collection only at the moment, I'm afraid).
The good news is:
Both @lordcrumps and @teaaddictyt have tested it with stupidly large CC folders and report that it works.
There isn't a dissertation the length of Tolstoy's 'War and Peace' you need to read through to understand wtf is going on.
The crashing wasn't caused by some hardcoded object limit at all! (That I know of).
An explanation of the issue for programmers:
And for everyone else:
The code for the Build/Buy menu was missing basic checks to confirm that the data it was trying to do things with was actually valid. No, I'm not joking.
Basically, it appears that all of the objects you can buy in the game are stored in something you can think of as being like a big, long list, which grows in size with the more custom objects you have.
The only purpose of the code that this plugin patches is to sort the items in the list into some kind of order. This is done by assessing if the value of the previous item in the list is larger than that of the item currently being looked at, and swapping their position if this is true (also known as an insertion sort).
In short, the game wasn't asserting that the data it was about to compare for sorting was valid before accessing it, and then promptly blowing up when it tried to do so and discovered it wasn't.
I imagine that the odds of the game making an oopsie and dumping some funky data into the list increases with the number of objects it is having to process - this might be why this issue only presents itself to those using multiple GB of Build/Buy CC. It was much easier to patch the code encountering the bad data within the list than to try and hunt down the mysterious culprit putting the data in there to begin with, so this is all the information I have at the moment unfortunately.
Either way, one of the first things you're taught when learning to code is to ALWAYS check that the data you're operating on has been initialised (i.e. it holds some kind of value). I guess someone at Maxis must have skipped that lecture :D
Is the 255 objects per subcategory limit theory true?
The Downloads folder I was using for testing had ~672 objects in the Deco/Misc subcategory (Maxis objects included). With the patch, I can freely navigate throughout the entire subcategory with zero crashes, so I guess not?
What about the whole OBJD limit thing?
People have varying beliefs of what the limit on OBJDs might be, but HCDU reports my Downloads folder had an OBJD count of 20,787. Again, without the patch the game would crash when switching categories in the Build/Buy catalogue, with the patch, no crashing.
If you want to hear my opinion on whether such a limit exists, watch this video.
Do I even need this patch if I don't use much CC?
As it adds some fairly important crash-prevention checks to part of the Build/Buy menu's functionality, I'd probably recommend using it anyway, just to be safe - we all know how much this game loves to crash!
Aaaah! I'm still getting crashes with the patch!
I'm aware that a few of you CC addicts out there have Downloads folders larger than the total size of everything ever uploaded to the internet, so if you still experience crashing in Build/Buy mode with this patch, please take a look at the mod's GitHub page and send me over the information requested there. Fingers crossed that shouldn't happen, but if it does, I'll try my best to investigate :)
Anyway...
Will
(I wish I had looked at this for my dissertation, as it was literally only a day's work).
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 :)

The thumbnails are showing up as black shapes for me (but everything works fine), let me know if you experience that as well and I'll try to figure out wtf is going on. (fixed)
When I saw these cute jeans and sneakers I simply had to convert them. They're for TF-AF and come in all the original colors. All appropriate morphs are included too.
Here's some fun plant deco for you all. @soloriya's Winnie set converted 4to2. There are seven plants with three or four recolors each and two candles. The candles are functioning and have a silver recolor each. Includes collection file, too.
kalux did this conversion of my favourite hoodie ever (much cozy) and I wanted to do some additional recolours. Some with graphics from EpisodicDrawing (did some editing to add arm details 'cause I thought it would be cute) and the remainder my usual pattern deal.
