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).
And the third upload for ye olde circus theme! 3t2 World of Wonder cotton candy machine converted by @crispsandkerosene, retextured by me. There are 3 recolours for the machine, and 4 for the cotton candy itself.
WARNING! I replaced the texture for the lightbulbs in the mesh package itself, because it wasn’t recolourable. If you already have the mesh, let my updated version replace the old mesh. That is, unless you prefer the Maxis version of the lightbulbs D-:
I've been getting a lot of asks about my Café Mod recently, things about mod compatibility mostly, which has been fun! Always great to revisit this mod. As a result I have made some important and helpful changes and updates to the mod 😊 Info under the cut!
Firstly, I think I figured out why foods would sometimes randomly go "off" and get spoiled while in the display cases when you load into a lot, even though they weren't supposed to! So I've updated the TA_CafeMod_Main file with some important updates there. Make sure you download the latest version and replace that file!
Secondly, I have some new compatibility patches for you all, mostly around this BHAV:
Interaction - Eat - Grab a Plate (0x201C)
Turns out there are great many mods that edit this BHAV 😆 Including but not limited to:
Simler90's Food Serve Eat Mod
Cyjon's Smarter Food Serving Mod
MidgeTheTree's Cake Stand
PlatinumAspirations 4t2 Cake Stand as part of their Businesses & Hobbies conversions (well, it was supposed to be editing that BHAV but it wasn't lol, never mind...)
So, in this confusing world, I have some important comp patches:
If you want to use either Midge's Cake Stand, PlatinumAspiration's Cake Stand, OR both, please make sure you have the file called Z_TA_CompPatch_CafeMod_CakeStands
You'll also want to have my TA_CafeMod_Main file loading AFTER the original cake stand files. This is important for that "Interaction - Eat - Grab a Plate" BHAV.
I know that load order can be really confusing, so make sure that you check with HCDU+ which mods are loading in which order!
It should be
1. Midge's Cake Stand and/or PlatAsp's Cake Stand
2. TA_CafeMod_Main
3. TA_CompPatch_CafeMod_CakeStands
Then
4. Z_Z_TA_CafeModMain_CJSmarterFoodServings if you want Simler90's / Cyjon's fixes to Interaction - Eat - Grab a Plate (I recommend!)
I hope that's clear! We love Cafe's so all this confusion and pain is totally worth it, right? Right 😂
A modded buy object. There’s been some interest in this object, so I’m posting it, even if it’s unfinished. I might do some updates in the future.
OPTIONS:
➡️ Dance!
Autonomous. The animation loops. Sims will choose a dance animation, depending on their personality. Sims with zero body skills will always choose the goofy dance. Sims will dance till you cancel it or till their needs drop too much.
➡️ Dance…/ Freestyle
➡️ Dance…/ Moonwalk
➡️ Dance…/ Breakdance
Nonautonomous. Requires some skills. Clicking on the tile will tell you what sort. The animation doesn’t loop.
All the options raise fun and drain hygiene and energy.
BUGS:
1.) The animations aren’t perfect. I tried, I really did.
2.) You can use the tile only if there’s music playing in the room. That’s a feature, the drawback is your sims have to be in the same room as the tile to be able to click on it. I’m a novice modder, I can’t fix it at this point.
3.) There is a buch of recolors, but the Design Tool doesn’t work for some reason.
I used in game and custom animations. Credit for the ts4 animations that I converted goes to Steven Studios.
You can find the tile in Hobbies/Misc.
DOWNLOAD
If there are any issues, pleeeeaase let me know, I’m like, super new to modding!
Quite a while ago, someone requested a version of Ginger's Dance Tile with my animations so here it is plus a new animation for it. Like the original tile, dances usually play based on personality, mood, and some require certain skills.
Outgoing sims will twerk, playful sims will do the jump dance, neutral personality sims will do the hip dances, and sims with no body skill will do the bopping up and down dance. The shy animations are the same as the original. I might make some shy dances in the future.
Like the original tile, music needs to be on before your sims can dance
You need 2 body skill to do the tik tok dance
you need 6 body skill and 4 charisma to do the twerk freestyle
you need 7 body skill to break dance
Lastly, I changed the price to 0 and removed the energy and hygiene drain.
If you already have my Dance Animation Box, Requested Animations box, and my Twerking Anniversary animation box
DOWNLOAD V1
If you have none of those animation boxes listed above
I stumbled upon this ask from 4(!) years ago and decided to try and see if wayback had archived any of the url-shorteners. Turns out, it had! I then stumbled upon this chinese creator called esorsims. Unfortunately this is not everything from them. If you have anything from them, please share!

For the first and last one, meshes are included.

I check on simscave and the booty. If you know which it is, please let me know.
Hello! Please, from your community centre post, WCIF the big painting with flowers and buildings in the third pic?
Hello there, sure!
That would be a recolour of the Maxis Artig painting by rascalcurious which are textures from 4t2 lina-cherie's simlish flower market prints. You can find that right here.
IF YOU JUST DOWNLOADED, REDOWNLOAD lolllll I updated this at 3 pm CST Jan 3
UPDATE AGAIN: Added some checks to make sure the Sim is greeted first, is socially eligible etc.
You need BOTH FILES in the ZIP and Easy Inventory Check/traits for the traits version.
This is a custom interaction using a social controller so it does not edit any globals or modify TTABs. Shouldn't conflict with anything.
I FINALLY worked out how to use these dang social plug-ins!
This mod adds an interaction to the "Ask" menu called "Mooch Money"
There are two versions.
One, called "ys2g_mooch_3t2" enables this Interaction for the Mooch Trait only (teens and up)!
Another version, called ys2g_mooch, enables this interaction for all Sims teen and older!
Also, Sims can only mooch from non-household members.
The Sim will ask the Sim for money, and the Sim who is being mooched from will have one of a few responses.
They will either reject you and give you one of two dialogues depending on their personality and mood, or they will accept and loan you a small amount of Simoleons.
Whether they reject or accept is fairly complex. The success of your Sim's Mooch depends on Mood, personality, relationship levels, the other Sim's funds, and randomness.
I say Testers Wanted because I probably didn't test this as thoroughly as I should have but I did play with several Mooch Sims in various households, and it seems to work.
Please don't hesitate to ask or report about any issues.
Happy Simming!
Small bugs:
For some reason, and only sometimes, the amount subtracted from the Sim who is loaning the money appears over their head at the wrong time: before the interaction is even started. Not sure why this happens, because the amount added to the Mooch Sim's family funds appears over their head at the proper time. Nevertheless, it still works as intended. Your Sim receives money, the other Sim loses money.

This is a UI mod that makes selection dialog wider and higher and fit more items. You see this window when you buy magazines or video games on unowned community lots, or set up bed decorations with my Unmade Bed mod, or use other modded objects that may have been released or are going to be released soon 😏

Special thanks to @lordcrumps for making maxis and clean ui pics and counting pixels with me. It was his and @simnopke's idea to make this thing bigger
Some behind the scenes under the cut
Stage 1, breaking out of the tiny window
Stage 2, figuring out how to mod UI again
Stage 3, going big! But not quite there yet
Stage 4, "should I move it 1 more pixel to the left"
🤓
Secret bonus version for behind the scenes viewers who think that smaller is better, available exclusively and only in starship colors (you can only have one version)
Huge shout out to @paluding for collaborating with me on this and who honestly did most of the work as far as I'm concerned.

This is a default replacement mesh for kitten and puppy faces that allows heterochromia. This was done by separating the left and right eyes onto different groups and subsets so they can be colored independently. They have morphs, so these cuties will properly emote! This is possible thanks to @crispsandkerosene's blender plugin, make sure to grab it if you're interested in meshing for pets!
Pet heterochromia is NOT hereditary, and in fact only a pet's right eye color can be passed down. Heterochromia is a purposeful decision that you have to apply manually. Do this by opening a pet's AgeData inside their CharacterData.package, then find and change the eyecolor and/or alteyecolor lines to the desired colors. If you need better instructions, I go more in depth in my Pet Genetics How-To here.
Last but not least, consider grabbing my Kitten & Puppy Eye Fix! Maxis didn't enable eye colors for all ages, so without my fix only custom eye colors will actually display with heterochromia.
Amazing work by @kitteninthewindow and @paluding - another must grab CC for me! I also recommend that any coders interested in TS2 pet genetics check out the How-To that KITW linked. I'll be trying it myself later, adding @angelapleasant cat whiskers to custom breeds I downloaded before they were released... :)
Finally back to sharing hair defaults and I am sooooooo happy to share these! @platinumaspiration converted the Royalty and Legacy pack which featured some great head wraps. I added another from her Urban Homage pack and a bonnet by Skittle Sims to replace all the bandana hairs and I couldn't be happier. Hopefully this is useful to a few people as it can be used with any hair system. Each wrap has a diff pattern for each hair colour. Sorry, I didn't make a swatch (need to download gimp, can't find my bootleg photoshop link any more 😪) but they look fab, promise! I'm using @lilith-sims simmie Deja. Isn't she lovely! I had lots of fun doing her make-up. I think that's everything! All downloads in one RAR but you can pick and choose what you want. Hope you guys enjoy!
HairBandana_Purple replaced with @platinumaspiration Wrap
Teen to elder. Great protective style so enabled for all categories. Yes, I needed to use both pink patterned swatches. I just couldn't choose lol
HairBandana_Red with @platinumaspiration Gele
AF - EF. Everyday, formal and outerwear (I've seen many an auntie in a heavy winter jacket and a gele as she left church in November lol)
HairBandana_Brown replaced with @platinumaspiration Frilly Wrap
TF - EF. Again everyday, formal and outerwear.
HairBandana_Green replaced with @platinumaspiration Formal Head Wrap
TF - EF. Everyday, formal, swimwear (they look so glam urgh) and outerwear.
HairBandana_Gray replaced with Skittle Sims 4t2 Bonnet
AF - EF only (I can't get the teen version to show up in the catalogue grrr!) Underwear and sleepwear only. I know some peeps wear them as everyday wear so if anyone want me to do a version with this enabled for everyday, please let me know!
CatOfEvilGenius' Turtleneck for teens and elders (requested by anon)
In the end I had to make new meshes, because the existing, similar ones had different mapping. They have fatmorph, come in the original 20 colors (knit+solid), and you can choose if you want them repo'd to the AF files (that you can find here), or not :)
This How-To can help with editing in game Pets or PetBreeds to change their face/body, adding fur accessories, adding heterochromia, or to blend genetics to mimic the pacifier*. Be sure to edit appearance in mirror to see any changes.
I will do my best to make this as clear and easy to understand as possible, but in all honesty there is A LOT of information. Some of it will only make sense if you already are familiar with editing CC and game files due to the jargon and syntax. Some things I also just frankly don't know, or I may have forgotten. As such, if you discover something about pets that I haven't mentioned, please share it here for others as well. Please refer to this spreadsheet for all pet genetic codes.
Now to start! Pet genetic data is stored in the AGED (Age Data). You can find this file in any petbreed.package or in a pet's personal characterdata.package. All things genetic and appearance wise seem to pull directly from this file (except collars). When you first open it, it can get overwhelming at first. Once you know what you're looking for though, it gets (a bit) easier. Below are the important lines of interest:
eyecolor (dtString)
alteyecolor (dtString)
Pretty straight forward. These are the eyes. If both values are the same, then the pet will have only one eye color. If they are different, the pet has heterochromia. Heterochromia is NOT normally inheritable, so editing this value yourself is the only way to mimic it. Not only is heterochromia NOT inheritable, but only the right eye color can be passed down and never the left. All born-ingame pets will have both these lines somewhere already, but sometimes alteyecolor may be closer to the middle of the list or the bottom. Some petbreeds may be missing this line however. Luckily, it is very easy to just add it in yourself. Note that puppies and kittens can't display heterochromia yet due to the way their mesh was made. You will need Paluding's and my default replacement meshes for rectify this.
petbodyoption# (dtString)
These are the tail shape and ear shape. There are currently 4 possible tail options for cats. For dogs, there are 2 ear and 6 tail options.
coatlayers (dtUInteger)
The number of coat layers. Pretty obvious, which is nice. This includes the pet's base coat, so for example if a pet has 5 coat markings then this should say 6.
coattex# (dtString) - Coat Texture, color of the coat
coatmask# (dtString) - Coat Mask, or the marking
coatmaskamt# (dtUInteger) - Coat Mask Amount, the opacity
These are the markings themselves. coatmask0 should always be left blank as it is the base coat color. 0x000000FF is the maximum opacity that a layer can have. If a pet offspring inherits a marking, it will usually be an exact copy color/opacity wise of their parent.
numpsd (dtUInteger) - the number of archetypes/modifers applied
psd# (dtString) - References the Face Arch Modifiers and Pet Body Modifiers
...Pet Slider Detail, maybe? In a vanilla game, 1 click of a slider is typically equal to 0.150000. Psds are typically written as family:4:amount of change. Positive values go left, and negatives go right. There will at times be multiple copies of the family, it's due to the game listing every time it's changed even slightly. I believe the game takes the sum value of all and applies them (or it goes down the list, if order turns out to matter). You can edit these lines directly to change them, or you can add/delete the lines yourself. Just make sure to have the psds numbered numerically and the numpsd line matches any changes. All modifiers are applied over the base archetype used, which means if you remove all but the psd0 lines, you will have the base pet shape.
Value wise, I'm not sure what the limit may or may not be, but you can go pretty extreme and even use whole numbers. Here's my experiments with Skull Small-Big set to 4.000000 and to -9.000000
You may notice that some lines don't have a family or they have a number that is NOT 4. Those are archetype modifiers. Archetypes are the "face templates". Edit those values at your own risk, as the possible results for these are more unpredictable.
numpbd (dtUInteger) - Number of Pet Body Decorations, or the number of fur accessories
pbd# (dtString) - Pet Body Decoration, or at least that's what I choose to believe
This is where you can add or remove fur accessories. Those are the fluffy face or beards and such. These objects are typically dependent on the color of the pet. Can be edited, added, or removed to your liking. Just be sure the numbers are correct.
coatflags (dtUInteger) - Coat Flag, the type of fur for cats & dogs
This determines whether a pet is "smooth" or "curly". This can also be easily changed in the mirror instead.
coatshapemod (dtString) - Dog only, refers to the Coat Shape Modifiers (the "collie" or the "airedale" body shapes, etc.)
coatshapemodamt (dtString) - Dog only, refers to the slider amount applied. Values are in decimal, with 1 being the max slider.
These are the dog only coat shape sliders. Dogs can only have 1 I believe. I didn't test this section heavily, so I don't now if values can be more than 1.
Note: About the "pacifier". When pets breed in game, they don't mix face genetics like humansims. All kittens/puppies will either get mom OR dad's shape, not a mixture of both. While it's tedious, you could in theory use the knowledge from this How-to to pull parts from both parents to be "inherited" by their offspring. You can randomize features with a coin flip or something and then apply them into the Age Data. As a reminder, edit appearances in mirror to see any changes.
