this was way more complicated to do than was probably worth putting the time into doing because none of the normal ways to do it would work in this situation

I wanted the change to be there without requiring any initialization, which would involve making the changes and then copying the sim over to a fresh version of the story mode hood - except Mickey is a single sim household so I can't even use Gussy Up to do the initializing that I would then copy over in the first place lol

so what I did do is I Sim Surgery'd Mickey's face onto Riley, made the outfit changes, and then Sim Surgery'd Riley back onto Mickey, then I copy/pasted Mickey's SDSC and character file into the fresh hood

idk I just thought if I do play this again I didn't really feel like playing straight sims lol - I considered changing more premades, but the fact I had to do all that for 1 sim made me not want to :P

Hello I really love your castaway gameplay! Very beautiful. Do you mind sharing the fire torch in the bg?

not sure what you mean, like converting it from Castaway Stories to TS2? I don't know how to do that kind of thing. it doesn't look like it's been converted by anyone else taking a look at the Stories to 2 Database, but maybe someone could give it a try if you post at The Wishing Tree, or if anyone who's done Castaway Stories conversions before are open to requests

2026 Sims Castaway Stories (Longplay, No Commentary)

Redo of my 2017 video. No music outside a few moments, almost no speed changes, no loading screens.

I recorded a new playthrough of the story mode in Sims Castaway Stories!

Apparently my most consistently popular YouTube video I've ever uploaded, even to this day, is the playthrough I posted in 2017. But tbh I feel the way I used to play/record back then is kind of annoying to watch lol so I wanted to make a new one.

This one is 2 hours longer than my 2017 video, even though I actually spent less time doing extra things like skilling for promotions. Because I almost never increased to Speed 2/3 I just let things play out to their fullest. I also spent more time observing animations/details/scenery, appreciating the atmosphere & ambience.

Download: Miscellaneous Castaway Stories Conversions for TS2

Includes:

Coffee table made from a stepping stool. 1 slot because the surface is pretty small.

Piles of metal parts. Decorative/Misc. The full pile requires the half full one.

Obsidian stones. Decorative/Misc. "FB_CS_ObsidianFull" is required for the other stones to show up correctly.

Fallen branch and some sticks with sawdust. Decorative/Plants. The sticks with sawdust require the fallen branch.

Collection file.

The piles of metal parts and the obsidian stones have an extended footprint of 2x2 tiles but each object has only one OBJD.

*not all pictured

In working on my new lolly (or candy for americans) shop, i ended up creating a huuuge amount of seamless textures. THIS website is my absolute favourite thing, I reccommend it to all sims creators!

You're free to use these textures however you want, credit isn't completely necessary but it would be nice if you could tag me so I can see your creations!

All images are in .PNG format. If you have Photoshop, I suggest turning them into patterns, so you can easily adjust the scale.

NonsensicalPixels 4t2 Sheabuttyr Te'jay Twists

Recolors & AM mesh tweak

Download: SFS | BOX Polycount: ~13 K

This hair was converted to ts2 (TM & AM) by @nonsensical-pixels here. I've based my textures on these naturals by Lotte @lottes-little-place (with some modifications). Lotte's recolors feature afro texture by @goatskickin

S4 original by Sheabuttyr is here.

*This is for The Sims 2

more under the cut:

Custom colors are for TM - EM aside from Greying black, which is available as natural grey for elders and custom for YM & AM.

Natural black recolor appears in catalogue next to Lotte's (darker) black. My texture has softer parting edges (and more narrow).

AM mesh hair weights were edited, I removed spine assignments in the back so the movement is a bit more realistic. I also tweaked the "scalp" parts to reduce clipping. There was a tiny patch of skin showing on the front right side - that's fixed.

Clean Night Sky

Envcube Txtr Default

Download: SFS | BOX

Crunchy skymap-generic-night-envcube replaced with plain color, four options to choose from. Previews under the cut.

*This is for The Sims 2

Envcube consists of six textures = six sides of the cube, 3D panoramic view of the environment (hence the name).

SimPe allows you to view / edit each of those 6 resources ("Blocks" drop-down list) - but please note this feature is a bit buggy. If you start getting errors, or if you're unable to switch between the 'blocks', restart the program.

Night sky crunchiness is not very noticeable, but when you apply some filters, either in ReShade or when editing screenshots, it can bring out the crunch (like in Vanilla preview pic below - it's a bit sharpened).

Darker shades make some skylines stick out a bit too much (as seen above).

I really like these TS4 pajamas, so I was super excited when they were converted by @lucilla-sims well, long story short, I lost my mind and there are 52 recolours of these pajamas here.

nobody needs this many recolours of anything but here we are anyway?? patterns? spoonflower coziness? a billion sanity? non-existant

download (TF-AF) repo to AF files I'm sorry?

The Sims 3 for Windows Phone, iPhone/iPod Touch, Android

Quite a lot of Buy/Build assets are actually based on or taken from TS2? Like those wainscoted wallpapers, the red carpet, and in other screenshots I saw the OFB Mission counters and the concrete block bookshelf

[andrevasims]

TS3 came out at a really interesting time where handheld/mobile gaming had more prevalence, but the difference between what a PC could do and what a handheld console or a phone could do had a much wider gap than they do today

which lead to developers trying to adapt one of the most encompassing life simulation games ever made into some of the least powerful systems ever made lol

this is the Java/Blackberry version of TS3, but there were actually multiple versions of the Java/Blackberry version as there was a separate game for World Adventures, Ambitions, Supernatural, and "Winter Edition"

??? I know I put my screen recorder (LoiLo Game Recorder) at original resolution, max quality, 60FPS, etc. so I'm used to weirdly huge file sizes, but this one... is 1 Terabyte

idk anything about bitrates or encoding or any of that but I don't think 474,849 kbps is a standard video bitrate, or 1,536 kbps is a standard audio bitrate, for screen recording lol

either way I always put my video files through Shotcut, both to combine/edit them and obviously compress them, but I'm gonna have to do that to all 10 files separately and then combine/edit them (I tried combining the raw files but based on the export processing speed it would've taken 25 hours)
