[TS4] Burple's Private Bathroom Set 👽

[supahbeefcakes]

thanks for all the kind notes on our Look Outside cosplay group 🥰 here’s another pic of my Leigh mask and Rat Baby prop! I hope more people do cosplays from this awesome game!!

Progress pics under the cut

Progress pics since people were interested! Mind, this is not a tutorial and the whole project was an exploratory bumblefuck. I recommend Kamui Cosplay’s videos on YouTube to learn how to work with foam.

Bought a generic circular mask pattern on Etsy, first cut it out of paper and finagled with it, taping it, cutting it apart, retaping it, marking the locations of facial features etc. When I liked it, I traced it onto my craft foam and cut it out, sticking the pieces together with contact cement. I used a lot of both Barge contact cement and E6000 adhesive for this project, both adhesives have their different uses and advantages.

Foam clay… foam clay is the coolest and funnest thing ever. It was invented in 2019; the last time I cosplayed, it didn’t exist. We live in a wondrous age. Sculpted, sanded and reworked in many layers.

Rat baby time

Rathan was made out of 2 baby dolls stitched together. the head and fingers/toes were first made with craft foam parts acting as “scaffolding” to build up the shape (attached to the baby doll with contact cement) and then detail was sculpted with foam clay.

The rat tail was made out of a poseable wire embedded in a long cone I cut out of mattress foam, wrapped in a membrane of pantyhose fixed with super 77 spray adhesive. I also wrapped pantyhose around his limbs and torso to create wrinkles and lumps. This was a very unsexy process with a lot of fumes and gunk, and I did not take pictures bc I was not about to touch my phone with my gunky ass hands. I would not do it this way again, but idk how I would have done it otherwise.

The heads lookin all nice after being sealed with Plasti-dip spray and ready to paint. The body was much harder to seal as the plasti dip kept dissolving the spray adhesive that kept the pantyhose in place. I ended up slathering it with contact cement and letting that dry into a solid mass, then hitting it with the plastic dip again. I repeat, I do not recommend this

Painting was painting. A lot of cheap craft paint and a lot of mixing, because I really wanted to match the game’s palette. Painted Leigh’s eyes on a plastic mesh used for fursuit eyes, blasting the holes with compressed air to keep them clear. This was a PITA and it took me about 7 tries to get 2 okayish eyes. But I’m really good at it now soooo

Also if you want a matte finish on your props just bite the bullet and buy the liquitex acrylic matte sealer. it’s fuckass expensive but you literally cannot get a better, matte-er finish for cheaper. lesson learned

One thing I didn’t record was the infrastructure. i used magnetic clasps for the mask bc they’re strong but low profile, and I knew I would want to be able to pop the mask on and off in a pinch. These I fixed to the inside and top of the mask with contact cement (I covered them with a thin black fabric so they wouldnt look conspicuous), and they attach to magnets on magnetic straps that are sewn into the wig. This worked awesome.

The wig btw was a cheap 80s rocker mullet Halloween wig from Amazon that looked awesome and worked beautifully! I just chopped it down to Leigh’s hair length. We used the same wig cut even shorter for Hellen. It just looks exactly like Look Outside Character Hair.

This isn’t a tutorial and idk what I’m doing. But for people curious about the process I hope this is informative!

found in rugs and mirrors

mirrored floor will show its texture when the camera is zoomed out (you can use the visible texture as a guide to place them)

// flat backdrop info

base game compatible

more than 400+ swatches:

75 neutral swatches (+chroma blue/green)

80 light swatches

[antisocialbunnysims]

just in the nick of time, i have a little bday gift for the sims 2 community! <3 more info and download under the cut!

-first is 8 recolors of the maxis Beckoning Cat sculpture. I used the gold texture from @pforestsims 's terracotta set as the base texture for the cat. Cat has maxis eyes and windkeeper's cat mouth. I added extra shading and recolored in 8 of poppet's forever palette colors.

then four beddings I made trying out a new bedding texture I was putting together. I combined poppet's edited maxis bedding texture, the maxis quilted bedding texture, and the pinstripes from hysterical paroxysms bedding textures at mts. Fabric patterns are from ruby star fabrics.

six recolors of nengi65 big rug, the rugs are from chairish. I forgot to include the mesh im sorry but its easy to find! edit: here is a link to the rug and HL's add-ons

some recolors of the maxis mr badger painting, and I also included a PSD template with the circle cutout thing on its own layer with a shadow so it is faster and more fun to recolor :)

DL EVERYTHING IN THIS SFS FOLDER

everything has been compressorized and swatches are included thanks to sims 2 and everyone here for being the best!

Lottie-sims + sims2defaults database updates

• The tumblr blog of @lottie-sims doesn't exist anymore, not sure how long it's been. They were a prolific CAS defaults creator but inactive for years I believe. If you still have defaults made by lottie-sims, it would be amazing if you could send them my way so I can reupload them to the SFS of the sims2defaults database and update the broken links.

• As you've probably heard, GOS was dead for a few weeks, and now it's back upgraded to a newer format (see technical info here). This upgrade has one consequence for the sims2defaults database: none of the links to GOS are properly dead but the digitalperversion.net links don't get automatically redirected anymore, so the older defaults that were posted on GOS are a bit trickier to access. @latmosims made a helpful redirecting browser extension for Chrome and Firefox which I would recommend. However I don't expect everyone to use it so I'll be updating all the digitalperversion.net links.

• I'm still not done replacing the imgur pictures on the hair pages, sorry it's taking forever. I had to take a break that ended up lasting many weeks but I'm back on it now. The new Dreamwidth-hosted pictures appear to take longer to load, when they load at all. Sorry about that, it sucks but we don't have a better solution to the UK imgur ban right now. I recently switched to DuckDuckGo as my main browser and I find that the database loads faster and more reliably than with Firefox or Chrome, you may want to try and see.

The Sims 2 Workers

Back when I started my channel in 2023 I had this idea that it would be fun to mix real life art and The Sims 2 for my channel's art. I'm Brazilian and so the first arts were recreations of famous paintings from my land, the first one being the "Workers" by Tarsila do Amaral in 1933.

The real piece carries a lot of meaning, mine is only the premades of Sims 2, but they do mean a lot to me, so there's that.

Feel free to use my recreations as you wish!

Binwood: Unleashed trailer - Pocketful of Sunshine

Soft Shabby Workshop

Heey guys! I know I say this every time but, I am extremely excited to release this month pack: The Soft Shabby Workshop. This set is inspired by a lived-in garage workshop where Sims can truly get their hands dirty, building their own furniture and renovating their home with their own two hands.

This pack brings together everything you need to create a workshop space, from functional shelves for storing and organizing, tools, power tools, equipments and workbenches for crafting and refurbishing household items. You’ll also find themed lighting, along with scattered sawdust and dust piles that give your space a perfectly imperfect, well-used feel.

To complete the aesthetic, the pack includes paint cans, paint roller, and all the needed tools that make a garage workshop feel lived and used.

The two main features of this pack truly bring it to life for us, storytellers:

A functional garage door that opens through interaction.*

A brand new custom paint interaction, where Sims can use a paint can and roller to paint their walls.

After finishing their painting session, Sims will feel accomplished and receive a 5 hours happy buff - because nothing beats the satisfaction of improving your own home!

I hope you enjoy this new set 🤍

You can always find more details over on my Patreon, here!

Observing the Paralives discourse as someone who never got into the Sims is so wild. The players are complaining about things that would be a non-issue in any other early access indie game. "The game is unfinished" please look up the definition of an early access game. "They won't be able to maintain a game with no paid DLC" plenty of devs can and do.

And then there's whatever the fuck is going on in the modding community right now.

[chimeramaria]

things that randomly annoy me: white cassandra without her glasses

whyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy T_T

[myshunosun]

im so sorry to ask but would you mind pointing me in right direction with making my own eyes for paralives? i cant figure out how to find the textures so i can replace them lol thank you in advance <3

Hey! Here's a very brief tutorial that does not touch upon the texture creation process:

Tutorial: creating your Paralives eye defaults

Create a new mod

Follow this tutorial. Steps briefly:

Start the game

Go to Mods, or CTRL + F2

Click Create New Mod, name it, and start editing it

Find the right entries in Characters -> Equipment

Go to Control panel and find the Equipment editor under the Characters category.

Because this is a default replacement, you're not creating any new lines. Instead, you're replacing linked textures in already existing entries. You're looking for:

EyeIrisGlobe for children and above

ToddlerEyes for babies and toddlers

Though these entries are separate, you can use the same eye textures for both.

You can find the reference textures in this Wiki page, or by browsing files locally. Find your Paralives installation directory, and search for textures and masks under Species -> Human -> BodyParts (my path: ...\Steam\steamapps\common\Paralives\Main.mod\Species\Human\BodyParts).

Create and link your textures

Note that even though you're working with default replacements, you should still add your textures to your mod's working folder. You can find it by clicking the folder icon next to your mod's name. You can read more about texture formats here.

Once you've added your textures, you may need to disable and enable your mod to trigger the game to import the texture.

Next, you want to replace the textures in both EyeIrisGlobe and ToddlerEyes. You're looking for these entries in your Equipment editor under Visual -> Textures -> HumanEyeLeft and HumanEyeRight under EyeIrisGlobe, or HumanToddlerEyeLeft and HumanToddlerEyeLeft under ToddlerEyes:

Texture GUID -> this is your grayscale texture. Replace this.

Mask texture GUID -> this is your mask with color channels. Replace this with your 3-color mask texture.

Remember to repeat this step for both EyeIrisGlobe and ToddlerEyes, unless you want different defaults for these age groups.

You can test whether the replacement works directly in the Paramaker, even as you edit the mod. Randomising the Para or clicking on the eyes should refresh the textures. However, if you're updating your texture files, you will need to trigger the file import by disabling and enabling the mod.

And I think that's that!

Binwood: Unleashed (Sims 2 Custom Hood) 🌵

Welcome to Binwood: Unleashed!

Hello baby boys! A while ago I thought it would be a fun idea to create a whole custom hood for the Bin families of Sims 2 and that's how Binwood was created. 🌵

The original version of Binwood is featuring apartment lots simulating an "open-world" moment which is fun but not for everybody!

Binwood: Unleashed is the original hood but with residential lots instead, plus a bunch of community lots and a new family! 🌇

DOWNLOAD: http://simfil.es/6133384/

Binwood exclusive features

Binwood is the place where, at last, the Bin families get some attention. Not only that: they're getting new memories, infant face genetics, pictures, ancestors, houses and lore!

For each and every family there are at least six dead ancestors (from both maternal and paternal sides).

NPCS and townies were fully customized as well!

Mods you don't need but you prob should get

Binwood: Unleashed is 100% CC-Free. With that being said, there are a lot of mods I think you should get before downloading a custom hood to make sure you get the full customized experience the creator wanted to give you.

Here's a video on my essential mods list for playing in custom hoods:

And also on how to get rid of townies:

What's included:

6 tattoo designs

Fully recolorable (1 recolorable channel)

Adjustable opacity

Available for ages that support tattoos
