3t2 Red Hot Dress (requested by anon)

This one is from the Katy Perry sp (surprising, I know). AF only, has all morphs. There's some clipping with the legs, but I tried my best. I made 5 recolors, but here's the PSD for recoloring. I made these for C&K's Extended Material Shader, so it's recommended (the shine looks a bit different without it). Shoes are by Sentate :)

For anyone wondering

Latest update I have on GOS and S2A is that the old hosting has been resumed (i.e. paid for again) so that HugeLunatic can hopefully access all required files to pass over to the people who have volunteered to assist in upgrading and re-hosting the site, but their c-panel access hasn't yet been restored so it's a waiting game at this stage. I'd also like to offer a formal apology to anyone who was offended by my post yesterday as it did garner negative feedback in comments and reblogs. I have taken the feedback on board. I did not mean to offend anyone with my tone or my words, and feel that most of the negative responses came from people who don't know me very well. I meant to offer reassurance, not condescension. Be that as it may, as I've said I accept my tone did not sit well with some people and I accept why. If you called me out, I have read and accept your point of view. I will not be engaging in further feedback on this post.

Thanks, Tea xo

Download: SFS | BOX Mesh: 5547 poly, included

5 new recolors for cute nightie conversion shared recently by @lucilla-sims here. I attempted to make it look less s4 by replacing original lace with something more subtle ;) I also toned down fabric folds in the belly area.

Shoe sound: Barefoot. Category: PJs only.

Enjoy!

To my dear Sims 2 Community

**I am editing this post based on feedback in the comments.**

I would still like everybody to stop, pause, make some really tight fists with their hands, now shake them out, and do some deep breathing.

I would still like to ask people to sloooow down. The internet moves fast but sometimes, life moves more slowly.

There are still efforts going on behind the scenes to get GOS back online (and Sims 2 Artists).

New hosting has been secured. The website php needs upgrading and this has not been working, but people are working on it.

I know its hard when things happen and you don't know what's going on.

Instead of panicking, jumping to conclusions, making angry posts, it's time to offer support, be patient, wait, ask what's happening without getting mad.

And please, remember kindness and empathy. Lunie has been trying to update GOS for months, and she is exhausted. It's down right now, but not dead (yet).

I do not deny this situation has been handled badly. I do not condone hateful or aggressive language FROM anyone directed TO anyone.

The latest update I have is that the site PHP is ancient, and it will be extremely difficult to update it so that the site can be rehosted, but people are trying.

I'm even probably roping in my IT dude husband who does web hosting and deals with this sort of thing, but who is not a simmer and has no idea what GOS really is.

I will try to actively post more updates as I receive them so that communication can be clear and we can all know what's going on.

Cheers,

Tea xo

I have amended my post a little to hopefully better express my stance on everything. There is a lot more discussion in the comments if you care to read more closely, and you are welcome to join, but keep it civil.

H&M Knitted Top Separated

I cut it off from an outfit by Dutchxfan, but it's basically a shorter top version of the Knitted Dress. For teens, adults, and elders, they have the appropriate morphs. Repo'd and pinned, so the H&M SP is required! Pictured with the necklace-less texture edit by Anna, because I forgot to take it out of my game.

presented by I really should've put my defaults in for that sim city at night frame, yeesh ME. I DO. Uldum is the best Maxis rug, don't @ me! nathieke turned me onto a way of swatching stuff I hadn't thought before and although I had to extract the images for this set it will be very handy in the future. woo. \^_^/ So yeah, 50 more Uldum rug recolours.. sourced from all over the place, honestly. threadless, spoonflower, Jessica Roux, some Japanese fabric stores on Etsy... someone's fanart of the Sleep Token logo. Random Pokemon art off pinterest I couldn't source. Random stuff that's just been chilling with some indecipherable name on my hard drive.

maybe someone can find something they like!

GOS is dead so here is everything I posted up there

sadly GOS is now gone which is a huge loss. gos hosted lots of events over the years and brought so much content along with it. for years it was not as active, which is a shame, and now its no longer here.

this is gonna be really difficult as a lot of cc on GoS was usually only ever shared on GoS and nowhere else

Thoughts on the Loss of GOS & Sims2Artists

I am not usually someone who gets involved in Sims community discourse or public callout-style posts, but this genuinely breaks my heart to see.

A massive amount of the custom content, creativity, and inspiration behind my work on Vermillion Sins came from communities like Garden of Shadows and Sims2Artists. They were huge pillars of the Sims 2 creative space for years.

What hurts most is not even just the shutdown itself. It’s the lack of warning.

These sites were not just forums anymore. They had become archives of nearly two decades of community history: old creators, inactive creators, forum attachments, resources, tutorials, contests, shared knowledge, and years of creativity that helped shape this community into what it became.

A simple “hey, this may go offline permanently soon, please archive what you can” would have allowed people time to preserve pieces of Sims 2 history before they vanished. Instead, so much appears to have disappeared overnight.

And to be clear, I do not think anyone is owed endless unpaid labor or permanent site maintenance. If someone no longer has the time, energy, money, or interest to continue running something, that is completely understandable.

But I do think the community should have at least been given the chance to help. People absolutely would have pitched in through backups, mirrors, technical help, donations, archival efforts, or simply having enough warning to preserve pieces of history before they disappeared.

The Sims 2 community has survived because people cared enough to preserve things. Without archivists, backups, mirrors, and Wayback captures, huge parts of this game’s creative history would already be gone forever.

And honestly, I hope this becomes a wake-up call moving forward. Preservation should matter.

TOUs and repost policies should not become barriers that result in entire pieces of community history disappearing forever the moment a creator or site owner leaves, especially in a community where everything is interconnected.

I respect active creators wanting credit and boundaries. But abandoned content should not be treated like untouchable lost media while the community watches it disappear forever. Communities preserving older Sims games and their content are a huge part of why those games remained alive and accessible long after EA itself had largely moved on from supporting them, and likely played a significant role in renewed interest surrounding things like the Sims 2 Legacy release.

I hope more people begin supporting archival efforts, mirrors, and preservation projects before more Sims history is lost for good.

Functional Butterfly (& Firefly) Habitat + Caterpillar Incubator

I fell in love with these 4t2 conversions by @tvickiesims at first sight and just had to make functional versions.

When your sim manages to catch butterflies or fireflies, they can be moved from the jar to this habitat. Insects housed in the habitat will stay alive; if the habitat is outdoors, they will hibernate if the temperature drops below freezing.

Each habitat can house 3 batches of butterflies and 3 batches of fireflies, counted separately. You can make space for new batches by releasing the insects from the habitat.

The caterpillar incubator provides an alternate way to get butterflies. Stocking the incubator costs §18, after which you can watch the caterpillars evolve into adult butterflies over the following days.

Be cautious about leaving adult butterflies in the incubator, as they won't survive there forever. The butterflies can be either moved to a habitat or released into the wild.

If an incubator is outdoors and the temperature drops below freezing, the metamorphosis will stop progressing, unless it's already finished, in which case the adult butterflies will die.

Sims can view occupied incubators and habitats, autonomously too. Cats might find them interesting as well. About everything gives nature enthusiasm, and all interactions are available children up.

🦋 Download (SFS) (alternate)

The files are compressed. Requires Pets and Seasons. The incubator won't work if you don't have the habitat in your downloads as well.

The habitat is a global mod that includes overrides for the bug jar and will conflict with other mods that alter the same resources. I haven't found anything that conflicts but as always, run HCDU to be sure. These can be used alongside Vickie's original conversions.

Many thanks to Vickie for letting me use her gorgeous conversions, and to @gummilutt for the help with testing!

My laptop is almost eight years old and really suffers in the heat now. During the summer I can barely play anything, but luckily I can always decorate a small living room in The Sims 1 :)

Here's my collab with wonderful @gummilutt - now we can have suitcase variety in the game! :D

🎨 Color Traits Mod:

BV Suitcase Default

Maxis Match OR Modern

Download: SFS Modern suitcase polycount: 1272

⚠️This mod requires Color Traits created by Epi @episims AND Trait Globals by @picknmixsims to work!

As all color trait mods, it makes the suitcase appear in Sim's favourite color (one of 12), if color trait is present in Sim's inventory. Grey is the default shade. You can choose between original suitcase or hardshell suitcase.

🔺Conflicts:

Pets and toddlers on Vacation by @lamare-sims - Suitcase mod needs to load AFTER Lamare's mod (add "zzz" suffix to the filename to make it load last).

BV suitcase texture replacements are not compatible with this. Also, modern default will clash with objects that use original Eaxis suitcase texture.

You may also be interested in decorative mini-sets based on suitcase mesh and textures:

Yeah, these kicked up legs are perfect.

Ripp had spent the trip up to that point skipping around and calling them "my dearies" and being generally giddy and in love.

When I was posting and sharing CC of my own, I admit, I often kept my mouth shut and skirted the edges of conflict for my own preservation and peace. But the things I've seen just from a single scroll of my feed today are truly, truly awful.

AI generated CC previews, early access CC for Paralives (an indie game IN early access), and low/questionable quality CC for sale in the Sims marketplace.

What the fuck happened where folks think any of this is okay or normal?

If we don't speak up, hold people accountable, and examine why these things are harmful, it's only going to get worse. Keeping the peace is one thing, but staying silent in the wake of the pure bastardization and exploitation of art is another.

A whole bunch of requested hairs for today! (by anons)

I used a mix of Nymphy's and Poppet's wavy textures on the Restfully Clean hair. For the Lolita Curlz, I grabbed the accessory textures from Mrs-mquve, and it's AF-EF only.

6 natural colors, gray linked to black. Meshes and bodyshop swatches are included, enjoy! :)
