Improper Supply Dump

Unlike proper supplies, these are not recloned, but edited objects from original creators. If you have any of those, please scan for duplicates and replace the originals with these (same file names)

These are lazily missing empty states, fancy interactions and descriptions, I mostly just recategorized them and slapped supply attributes, well, also edited one mesh, some textures, wall placement, thumbnails, quarter-tiled a few, etc.

📦 Found in Plumbing - Misc. 🧽 Usage: eyeballed by item's look 💶 Price logic: 1 simoleon = 1 use x2 for toilet paper holders x10 for toilet paper pack

💖 There's one special proper object @teaaddictyt made for us, nice for selling in stores, comes with Brush Teeth interaction:

OK, there are two more ✨ special objects by @platinumaspiration I added empty states and Restocking to:

Also, toothpaste in a box, toilet paper pack, and cleaning caddy can be restocked from (by proper items from proper uploads). Paper towel and tissues go for cleaning and toilet. Nothing for pets

Exnem/@zena-dew-drop Hot Dog & Hamburger Carts Use Maxis Food

I missed these when I was finishing up my Exnem edits. They will now pull plates of the Basegame hot dogs and hamburgers instead of using custom ones. These should pick up any defaults you have for the food or plate. I used Zena's edit with Simlish textures but you could use Simpe to replace it with the original textures if you prefer English. These carts don't charge Sims for taking food and there are unlimited servings so if you put them on a lot your Sims will have an endless supply of free food. I like for my Sims to have to pay for their food but these could be fun at parks or town halls, pretend it's a government funded perk

The filenames are the same ones on Zena's edit but I think the guids are the same as every other version of these carts so if you have any version in your game make sure to remove it

Butterfly effect OMSP

A mini-collab between me and @episims 😊 I have a flower meadow in my game that I very much enjoy, and it occurred to me that it really ought to spawn more than one batch of butterflies. So off to make a butterfly version of @pforestsims' Firefly OMSP we went, and here we are!

Butterflies will only spawn during daytime, between 7-19 (7am to 7pm). We set the initiation to vary a little, so that if you have multiple they don't all spawn at the exact same time. Idle duration is BCON tunable, you set the minimum and the random range. By default it'll take minimum 10 minutes, maximum 30 minutes. You can force them to appear immediately by entering and exiting buy/build mode.

We've also added support for season and weather tuning, so you can decide which seasons and weather they should spawn in. Default settings will only spawn butterflies in clear weather, during spring, summer and fall. Active rain, hail, or snow will prevent butterflies, as will snow lingering on the ground. These restrictions only apply if the omsp is placed outdoors, indoor only adhere to the daytime limitation.

The object goes invisible automatically in live mode. If you set it invisible manually, it will remember this.

Found in general/misc, costs 0.

Because we made coding changes we decided to include a firefly version that has weather and seasonal support. Fireflies will spawn at night (7pm to 7am) during spring, summer and fall. They are allowed in rain, but not in lingering snow, or active snow or hail. Uses the same GUID as Pforest's original, so only pick one. If you want to keep both you can if you change guid, it is a new object so nothing else overwrites.

Electrical Box & Digging Accident Mini Update

Fixed & edited quite a few things, I think it's nearly done 🙀

Read and download from MTS

My favorite feature is a way to exclude from outages any computers, stereos and lamps that aren't supposed to be plugged-in (like candle lights, music boxes, or type writers)

[lamare-sims]

Found some time to work on this little feature 😊

So EA's got like 1-2 years before they go out of business?

I prefer the phrasing "1-2 years before Sims 2 is abandonware again and forever" 🥳

10th Anniversary of Rebuild - Part 3

The last note I want to end on, is a sappy one. If this whole thing taught me anything, it's to never give up on the things that give you joy. There's always some way. Sims 2 as a hobby is not easy, it is often challenging, frustrating, infuriating. We face tech challenges on the daily. But this game, it gives so much that for me, it'll always be worth the effort because what it gives back is immeasurable.

And that gives me hope.

Dog Training Competition Mod!

SO, @heathensimmer put me onto this mod and I just feel like I need to share it with people cause it seems to be super underated and needs to be talked about! It's by the amazing Chris Hatch, but of course he dropped it in a thread that not many people would generally look for, so I feel like bringing more attention to it is important! Basically, it's the pet competition from Pet Stories! Chris includes a document explaining how the mod works so I highly advise reading it, but make sure you download all the files and read the instructions! NOTE: It adds and NPC to your game so if you know about how adding NPCs and removing them can be dangerous, just keep that in mind when adding this to your game!

Okay, anyways, here's the Dog Competion MOD: HERE!

[diovanlestat]

This a great mod. Chris has made some amazing stuff

Note

For those creators who made new hampers, what to update. So, there's one new BHAV and a bunch of edited resources, as follows:

You can compare and edit by hand, export-import, or reclone, whichever is easier for you. Sorry for the inconvenience! There shouldn't be any more big updates like that in the future

HAPPY 21ST BIRTHDAY TO THE GOAAAATTT!!!!!!!!!!!!

[teaaddictyt]

I love boxes

In my quest to ever make Sims 2 retail stores more realistic, I have been wanting some stock boxes to decorate my shops with when I stumbled upon these the other day and though, 'oh, cool, I want those'. So I made a quick and dirty 4t2 conversion in a couple of different sizes!

Small, medium and large for now, and they stack, yay! Medium sized box is the master and the other 2 are repo'd for easy recolouring.

For now I've just converted and included all of the original Sims 4 swatches:

But I'd definitely love to add some designs for all of the default Sims 2 appliances, pet items and more. Or if anyone else wants to make a few recolours, please do!

Thanks to Brainstrip for the original Sims 4 meshes and recolours, they are super nice!!

Thought others might enjoy these so here's a linky to

Enjoy! xo

*Edit - oh yeah, they're in Deco Misc for $0 cos I don't believe the sims should have to pay a heap for pointless shop decor lol but feel free to make them cost something if you want to!
