I've made a hotfix for all S-Club lashes in three performance flavours, after discovering that 1.1k of these polygons were from a redundant mesh duplicate. That's 1/3 of the mesh just being bloat you can't see ingame!
CHOOSE ONE.
Install to Mods > Overrides.
Fully compatible with the S-Club eyelash sliders.
Compatible with Buckley's CASP fixes.
Original .packages required.
Flavor 1 QUALITY
2k polygons / 2k texture resaved in DXT1* for 50% less RAM usage /Identical to original.
Flavor 2 BALANCED
2k polygons / 1k texture resaved in DXT1* for 80% less RAM usage
All three look almost identical on my graphics settings, but you can safely swap between them if you decide you want a bit of extra crispness.
Please enjoy some sorely needed optimisation for a decade old piece of CC 🤡
*In the past, DXT1 was noticeably lossier than DXT5. However, the wizards at NVIDIA have made the difference between the two basically imperceptible with their modern Texture Tools Exporter. If a mesh doesn't need an alpha channel, you can and should be using DXT1 - it's half the file size for free!
So I know there is a debate about the use of AI in the community that I won’t get into but saw that one of its supposed uses was for defaults.
I just wanted to put out there that if anyone has questions, needs troubleshooting, to be walked through the process, or me to look at their files to see if I can spot an issue, I’m really happy to do so. I’m literally happy to help as much as can either over tumblr’s messenger thing of discord if you have it. Just want to be helpful x
Please, I beg, I know it's hard to reach out, trust me I used to be super shy and constantly checking myself over the smallest thing (I still do it, it never really goes away).
BUT, if you need help, however insignificant you think the issue might be, or just want someone to vent your frustration over some stupid problem: feel free to reach out. I don't always respond the quickest, but I always respond. AND, never assume helping others (you) is a waste of time. I cannot tell you how many things I have learned from helping others. I love figuring stuff out! Sometimes, I might fail at doing so, even.
Human connection is the only true constant in these uncertain times. I know it's a struggle, but it's worth it! AI is the anti-thesis to all that.
Same here - I'm always happy to try to help.
Let's share and celebrate the collective knowledge we have in the Sims 2 community - it's a beautiful thing!
I have now been told by numerous people that I am apparently scary and intimidating (what people probably mean is "opinionated", but I won't get into that rn)
but if anyone has questions or needs help, I promise you that you can message me and I will not call you an idiot
I only call people idiots when they don't ask for help
coming on here aswell to let everyone know, if you need help with Sims 3 things, converting or setting up your game, or such, I am also usually open to help.
I suffer really bad anxiety but there was a time I needed help with something and I asked like, 4 people , I was SO scared and embarrased, but they were all super nice and lovely and willing to help! Sims 3 community has been so nice and helpful to me.
You guys really don't need an AI to help you, we need to bring back conversating between us humans again.
That being said, AI will just do some fuck up in a code and it can ruin your game. (I downloaded AI mods without knowing they were made with AI until way later, and they made my game crash horribly).
So please, don't be shy, ask around!
We all had to learn from something, we used google and youtube videos, or literally just asked around.
You.Really.Don't.Need.AI

Yumi discovering a weird looking portal that appeared in the backyard one night, marks the beginning of our generation 2.
She was getting some cereal at 2 am when she noticed blue light coming through the window of her bedroom, next thing she knows a man jumps out of it!
She then recieved the time alamanac and went to the future with Emit. The shot I got of her arriving to Oasis Landing is one of the best I ever got in this game. I love how cool it turned out!
She met a fellow genius, named Edwin, in the future and invited him to come back to the present with her. He said yes as he wanted to learn more of how people used to live back in the days.
They fell in love and had a kid together, the heir to the challenge, that they named Doppler. I love that name.
They had him pretty late, but I wanted gen 2 to have only one kid anyways, so I wasn't in a rush. Gen 1 had 6, so I need a breather.
Currently Yumi is lvl 8 in Science career, almost completing her LTW for the challenge, and Edwin is lvl 5 in Military career, so he still has some way to go.
I'm also still playing all the siblings from geneartion 1, because I love them all so much and want them to all complete their LTWs (and also because I didn't want them to have any kids of their own when they moved out so I'm not related to the whole town in a couple of generations).
I also love to torture myself, because I'm currently playing a 10 sim household (9 sims + a plumbot). It's something. I love it though.
As I said, I was not planning on any of Yumi's siblings to have kids, but Kotoyuki got abducted by aliens and if I were to have any of them reproduce, I'd choose him, because he just has such a beautiful face, so I was happy he's the one who got abducted.
It was my first ever alien baby as well, so I was excited!
He also had the baby pretty late in adulthood so he is now already an elder while his daughter, V, is a child.
I also decided that it is cannon that aliens can shapeshift my game and since her favourite colour is purple, she changed her skin and hair colour into it as soon as she learnt she has the ability to. I can't wait to see how she'll look like when she's an adult.
I accumulated a lot of money while playing the first generation, so I decided to build a lab under the house where generation 2 can build their skills.
It was supposed to be a small 1 room lab at first, but then I watched Project Hail Mary with my sister and was inspired, so I got carried away and ended up building a whole space station looking lab.
I had a lot of fun though.
The entrance is a tube elevator tucked away in a corner behind the house, covered by bushes. This lab will probably get forgotten for some time down the line when Yumi and Edwin pass, but there is a generation revolving around technology, so the lab won't be abandoned completely, I will probably just keep it locked during generations that don't need to do anything related to science.
This is a 16 generation challenge (Lucifer help me and my tiny attention span) where each generation focuses on a certain theme that you have to follow, made by dazzlingwordsxx on reddit.
Check it out and try it yourself if you love a good long challenge or if you like to torture yourself like me.

With Morgana and Leighton's passing I declare generation 1 complete!
Morgana actually outlived Leighton despite being older than him, she lived up to 100 sim days (my custom lifespan is 90 sim days), while he lived up to around 95 I think.
Both Morgana and Leighton got to the top of their career and profession and still had plenty time in retirement to spend it with the family they've built. They had 5 kids together, but raised 6 in total with all of them exceeding in school and almost all of them getting university degrees. They can both now rest in peace next to grandma Yumi at the top of the hill in The Pleasant Rest Graveyard.
A small section dedicated to Sam Sekemoto, Leighton's 1st son.
I hold this kid very dear to my heart and am so proud of his achievements. He went to university and got a Fine Arts Degree, became a painter, mastered the painting skill, then became a horror writer, wrote a lot of books (some of which are: Then The Hills Were Silent, Evil Residents, Evil Evil Residents, The Evilest Residents, The Night of The Fredbear, Project Space Mary, AHS: Slaughter House, AHS: Insane House...) and mastered writing skill. He is currently an elder and is still writing books and living with the family, enjoying his life with his siblings. Once an only child, now the oldest in a house full of warmth and laughter <3
Yumi here, the youngest out of 6 kids, is already well on her way to becoming a scientist and mastering all the skills she needs to. She got her degree and is already lvl 5 in Science Career. I plan on focusing on her skills and career while she's still a young adult and then going to the future once she's an adult to find someone to have kids with. I'm tempted to have her have kids with an alien, but we'll see how that goes.
What used to be a daycare room in the house is now remodeled to a mini lab for Yumi, where she does her scientist stuff. I've also put her childhood robot bear on the shelf as she needs to keep one toy from childhood. His name is Sci-fi. Oh, and that skeleton in the corner is Steven. I also plan on adding more potions to the shelves above the computer.

I chose to start with Morgana (ex-Wolff) and Leighton Sekemoto as the founders of this challenge, because they fit each other very much in my opinion and Morgana deserves better than Thornton.
The goal of the 1st generation is to reach the top of education career and daycare profession and for both of the founders to reach top of their LTW, which has to be Surrounded by Family.
All of their kids need to excel at schoolwork and be named after children's book/movie characters (I strayed a bit from that as I added games into the mix and decided not to go with children's media exclusively).
So the family portrait depicts the whole fam (minus grandma Yumi who passed a long time ago, but honestly I would've loved for her to see all her grandkids as her LTW was Surrounded by Family as well. RIP Grandma Yumi, you would've loved the warmth of the full house).
Household members from oldest to youngest:
Morgana&Leighton (center) - Morgana is currently lvl 8 (Assistant Principal) in Education Career and Leighton is lvl 4 Daycare Profession
Sam (back row left) - Leighton's 1st son (Morgana is not his biological mother, but they have a really great relationship and she treats him like her own son), has a Fine Arts Degree and is lvl 7 in Painter Career,
Seiji (back row middle) - lvl 1 in Politics,
Kotoyuki (back row right)Â - still a teen, but wants to be World Renowned Surgeon, loves BTS
Lin (front row right)Â - despite preppy attire she's very athletic, so she's going to be a Superstar Athlete,
Chihiro (front row left)Â - still don't have plans for her, she's not in a hurry to grow up,
Yumi (sitting in Leighton's lap)Â - the little heir that's gonna carry on the challenge, the only one not named after a character, instead I named her after the grandma she couldn't meet, she's going to go to Uni to get a Science&Medicine Degree and work in Science. Can't wait to start this little nerd's generation.
Enjoy the quiet monday morning pictures of the house as the family gets ready for the day.
The house is the original Sekemoto residence in Sunset Valley remodeled to fit everyone in. I tried building it so it looks like a traditional Japanese house. The inspiration was mostly Silent Hill f, as well as Studio Ghibli movies and other Japanese games/movies I've seen so my knowledge is very limited and might not be the most accurate, but I love how the house looks. After all it is inspired by the style, not a replica.

History:Â Built in 1871. by an italian architect, Giovanni Cettolo, with only 1 floor, this building was used for official government meetings. In 1892. Cettolo was once again comissioned to work on the building, adding an additional floor, so it can be repurposed into a school, which started operating in 1893. , though only lasting a couple of years before being shut down due to records of low attendance. It stayed abandoned until 1902., when it became an administration building for a nearby hospital and in 1945. it became a psychiatric ward, which it still is today.
** Note: Listed below is all the cc and store content in the build. If you don't want to download all of it, the lot will still work, but it will be missing those items. Same goes for the EPs you're missing. **

Personal note:Â I got inspired by a real life building that actually used to be some kind of meeting office in the 1860s-70s, a school in the 1890s and then also a hospital administration building later, near where I live. The building has unfortunately been demolished in the recent years due to it being super old and unstabel, which I was sad to learn, but it is being rebuilt into a therapy facility for the hospital nearby!
I have deep love and attraction towards very old abandoned buildings, esspecially if it was some kind of mental hospital. Idk what it is about my brain, but I always feel very drawn to them. My mom loves to joke about how I might've been a nurse or a doctor that used to work in that kind of facility in the past or an architect that designed and built those buildings lol. Even though they probably did not look as spooky as they do now, decades later.
Anyways, the description of the lot is a mix of reality that I found through research and info I made up about it to fill in the missing gaps. I hope you enjoy this built and find beauty and possibly inspiration in the spookienss of it like I did :)
The Doctor of the Luna Witch Coven, Aspen Ecko, is a young medical student who wants to use science and medicine to help people and society evolve and stir away from the beliefs that witches can only do harm. However much he doesn't like to admit, he might have to reply on his own magic to help him out a little, but he is confident he can do it.
He is very smart, genius in fact, loves reading and stays up late studying medicine and practising spells and charms. He also has particular love for horses as he thinks they are majestic creatures.
I made Aspen for my own gameplay, but people requested me to upload him so I'm doing it!
Note: Sims I make for my own personal gameplay are super CC and Store content heavy (some more some less) so BEWARE when downloading them! Make sure you check out the list of CC and Store content down below and download all of it, unless you want some stuff to be replaced by base game items. Even then I can NOT guarantee you my sims will look same in your game as they do in mine, which again depends on CC and custom sliders you might not have in your game.
shirt: Simple Linen Shirt from Dragon Valley World (world download by @freesimsshit) I got this top when I downloaded the world and it is the only thing from that world on my sim so if you don't want to download the whole world for one shirt you don't have to, you can replace it with something else :)
pants: Bottom My rock star (by @shushilda) the pants clip through the boots, but Idc you can replace either if you mind that
shoes: Store Pirate Boots (by @sweetdevil-sims)
accessories: Snake Gauges (by @leahlillith), Pendant Celtic Snake (by @irinaseverinka), 77 Accessories - Skull Beaded + Nails Ring (by the77sim3 no longer exists anywhere on the internet)
FORMAL
outfit: Dragon Valley outfit from Medieval Separates set (by @danjaley)
accessories: Gothic Crown Dark Prince (by Gardolir)
I made Aris for my own gameplay, but people showed interest in her so I'm uploading her!
Note: She is super CC heavy so BEWARE! I will link all the CC she has on her down below so you can choose to download it or not (then it will be replaced with something random in your game) and I will also tag all the creators of the CC because credit.
Soo the insane asylum challenge in sims 1 was a huge fail!
I asked J.T. nicely NOT to burn down the kitchen...
And then I sent Rose to help (since we are not allowed a smoke detector or a phone), but... she burned down with the kitchen... at least she died a hero.
Then Jesus and J.T. fell asleep in the middle of the fire! And Grim Reaper decided to join the party. Turn up!
But the fire woke them up. Fhew, thank God right?
Now this is what it means to burn down the kitchen.
I guess I failed the insane asylum challenge in sims 1 since my main sim died xD
I thought I would last more than that...
Tbh I thought Jesus (Matt) would stay alive, but he died last so that counts right?
Soo I was bored and one of my favourite challenges in sims is insane asylum challenge. Now I don’t know how possible it is to play it in sims 1, but I wanted to try it out and see what happenes. I created a back story for each sim (even though I normally don’t t do it because I’m not creative or motivated enough) and I’ll be playing with the top one named Rose.Â
The rules:
- you have to play with one sim only (you’re not allowed to click on other sims and control them)
- there must be 6 sitting spots, 5 beds
- only 1 toilet, 1 sink, 1 shower
- there may be max of 5 skill building objects (computers, stoves, bookcases, mirrors, and TVs don’t count)
- there may be maximum of 1 electronic device
- no burglar alarm, no smoke detector
- must have the cheapest stove and fridge (max. 1 of each)
Goal: reach the top of the career of your choice or max out all the skills of your sim
Here is the link for the one made for sims 3 where I took the rules from -Â http://modthesims.info/t/450267
64 Gunther Goth Highway, The Morris Cottage. I had a lot of fun with this one since I love little cottages and cabins. I would tottaly live here if I could. I might even make a sim me to live there.
