Adana Knows Best's Simblr

Hello and welcome to AKBSimblr! My name is Adana (also known as AdanaKnowsBest or AKB), and I am a 30-year-old long-term simmer who lives with her boyfriend and two cats (Xerxes and Xena) in northeast Ohio. This is my own personal simblr containing pictures and updates from my own sims games, reblogs of sims stories, custom content, and game resources. Currently, I have the Sims 2, Sims 3 and Sims 4, but I'm only playing TS2. This is a WCIF and ask-friendly simblr - I love questions, so ask away! Please note that this is a sideblog - I follow you as adanaknowsbest!

300 Followers Gift Add a realistic touch to your scenic lots and give your sims a new activity with these Coin Operated Telescopes from BioShock.

    $10 Charge

    2 Subsets - 3 Textures

    Available on all lots - day or night.

    + Logic - A community lot skilling mod is needed for commercial/vacation lots.

Catalog Sort:  Hobbies / Knowledge $550 Terms of Use: None.  You’re welcome to use this however you’d like and the PSD template is HERE if you want to recolor these. Poly Counts:  2492 Faces, 1852 Vertices (Roughly 500 polys less than the Maxis telescope.) Additional Information: These were cloned from a telescope so the animations are not going to match up exactly but I think they look pretty good considering.  You can watch a short clip of them in use on YouTube. Everything but the logic skill gain (and the look through interaction obviously) has been stripped out so you can’t be abducted, summon aliens or anything like that and you won’t trigger irate neighbors if you use it during the day.  It’s not exactly realistic to gain logic or to be able to use these at night but that’s the way I wanted them.  Let me know if you absolutely hate those features; if enough people do I’ll make another version. I hope you enjoy and thanks for following! :) Credits: SimPE, Gimp 2.8, Milkshape, AGS and 2K Games for the mesh and texture.

The Sims 2 Icon Set

Well, i wanted to organize my cc folder - again - but this time i wanted to use maxis icons. I couldnt find the exact icons i wanted so i just extracted them myself. Some of them are not as good as the others. I can fix them and update the set later on.

Note: I really dont know if using custom icons affects the loading time. I didnt experienced anything like that but just for you to know.

Download: SEASONAL FIELDS

After more than one year of the initial announcement I’m proud to finally release the seasonal farm fields.

These are high quality hood objects that come in square form. You can stick as many together as you want to increase your field size. In each season the fields change their appearence. In spring, you can see the earliest stage of a fruit, in summer the plant is full grown and in autumn the field is either at its last stage or already an acre. In winter the acre slowly gets covered by snow.

Included are four common fruits: Wheat, maize, canola and sunflower. They all look every different from each other in their various colors, heights and season states. In addition to the fruits, there’s also a straw field that you can combine with the wheat fields. In seasons other than summer, it changes to a normal wheat field.

All fields come in a size of a 1x1 and 2x2 hood cell.

Download: Placeable cliffs

One thing that always bothered me about Sims 2 is the fact that the cliff textures in the neighborhood get lost as soon as you enter lot mode. Your hood looks totally different and unrealistic without them. If you feel the same, this CC is for you!

While this CC does not fix the problem, it lets you place cliffs everywhere you like and you can have multiple textures at the same time. Here’s a full overview:

- Three textures: Brown, dark & grass - Winter ready: The cliffs get snowy in winter - Different shapes & sizes for your needs (4 per texture) - Good fit to the terrain with no ‘holes’

All pictures were taken in lot mode.

The grass cliff is optimized for criquette’s terrain replacement. But with my .psd template down below you can swap the grass texture under the rocks.

The cliffs can be found in the effects category (custom thumbnails!)

► DOWNLOAD CLIFFS

▷ Download grass rock template for PS

Special thanks to @criquette-was-here for helping me to solve the cliffs appearance in winter.

Feel free to clone the cliffs and change them however you want. If you want to share your work, please credit me as original author.

A rather big set (for me anyways). This is mitarashi’s TS3 Japanese graveyard set, converted to TS2. There are 8 items in this set. You can see all the different graves in the 4th picture. Each “headstone” also has a broken version, for your haunted abandoned cemeteries purposes. Comes in 4 colors, as shown in the 5th picture.

I’ve also included 3 OMSP’s to allow you to place decorations on the graves, as seen on the 3rd picture. The obviously have an invisible recolor too ^_^

I slightly adjusted the height of the big graves, so you can hide the actual sims headstones underneath. Note that you will use all interactions with the headstone if you cover them.

To be able to hide headstones I had to put the big graves on a 1x1 square. So you’ll need to use either SnapObjects or the quartertile cheat to place them properly.

I also included a collection file for convenience.

do you or your followers happen to have curiousB's bedding defaults (and the custom beddings that came in that post if possible?) from here? curiousb(.)dreamwidth(.)org/34884(.)html. thanks either way + for all that you do

(link) I’m afraid I don’t have them but here’s picture, maybe somebody has them and is willing to share?

[paradoxi-kay]

Here you go, anon! It’s just the defaults, though, I don’t have the custom bedding.

They’re all in one folder, but the files are clearly labeled with what EP/SP they’re for.

Here are all the FAB beddings I have and some of the custom ones anon asked about are in the tbto_forjacci folder

Another quick gift I’m dropping off. I think I’m on day six of Simblreen gifts and I’m basically scrambling stuff together to upload at this point. Hopefully when I have more time I’ll update these posts with swatches and recoloring resources. 

Included:

Nautica Dresser Master - 4933 Polys

Nautica End Table Slave - 4943 Polys

Tipsy Dresser - 2901 Polys

Corona Sidetable - 1546 Polys

Info:

The nautica dresser and end table have two subsets and are slaved to one another.

The corona sideboard is slightly angled, I actually liked that touch of realism so I left it as is. This makes the left slot not perfectly centered, so I recommend using OMSPs on this particular mesh.

The dressers is not animated, I’m afraid I don’t know how to do that as of yet.

No Shadows. I’ve officially given up on them for the time being and they make me delay uploads. (Ex. That sideboard was finished about two months ago).  

These are on the higher poly side unfortunately, I might try and reduce them in the future.

Files are compressed.
