My Sims 2 Space

Black simmer , unhealthily obsessive abt ts2. You’ll see most of my finds here :)

Smuggled Decos pt.1

Okay guys, I’ve decided to open another category of things I’ll be sharing. It’ll be some random converted (and created) stuff in ‘as is’ condition. Usually, I do not share content that is not at least somehow optimized and improved. But years go by and I still don’t have enough time to create everything I want, or refurbish and improve conversions to the level I think they should be at. So once in a while I stalk for third party game models that I could use in my game as a hood deco. I’ve discovered, that Farm sim‘13 is a good source of such content, so I’ve converted some. I do not take any credit for these conversions, since I’m not an author, though I often translate any text on the textures to simlish and edit them if the quality is too poor. I also add ground shadows most of the time, because this way it looks better. So, enough words, let me just share the link to the first bunch of those conversions. This is really quite random rural oriented stuff I like to use in decorating my hoods. 

What’s inside:

Diesel Engine

Old railway track (basic piece, derived from my old railway set)

Garden Sheds in 5 colors

Scrapped Harvester

Scrapped Tractor

Wood piles (3 items)

Construction trailer

Playground Shed

Playground Swing

Recycling Container for Glass

Recycling Container for Clothes

Clothesline umbrella (empty/white/colored)

Clothesline straight (empty/white/colored)

To install, just put all the files into your ‘Downloads’ folder. Available under ‘Misc’, except for playground, railway piece, diesel car and scrapped machinery – they’re under ‘Landmark’ Important: Clotheslines are repositoried (master ones are straight white and colored). So just keep them all together when in doubt. Basically, these are highpoly but that’s okay if you don’t want to have dozen scrapped harvesters around your hood.

career rewards: buyable & as aspiration rewards

i decided to try my hand at editing sophiedavid's "buyable aspiration & career rewards" to also have the same edits from joninmobile's "career rewards as aspiration rewards", essentially combining the features. it went well, so i'm sharing it with you all here.

excuse the shitty uninspired preview taken on my testing lot.

this is something i made for myself awhile ago. i've used sophiedavid's buyable rewards for a long time, usually to add them to community lots.

but in actual gameplay, i find that i rarely end up getting most of them naturally. plus, some of them i don't like the idea of being locked behind entering a niche (paranormal...) career. joninmobile's version solved that issue, but the two are incompatible with each other. ...unless? :3 in the end, career rewards will be obtainable in 3 ways: the original way, in build buy, and as aspiration rewards.

i made sure to give each reward the same points price that joninmobile decided on (if you want to see the prices for each reward, they're listed here. i recommend reading sophie's post too.) the price in build/buy might appear to be more than zero, but trust me, when you actually buy them it will not cost you anything.

INSTALLATION:

DO NOT INSTALL IN DOWNLOADS FOLDER!

instead, place the file in the catalog bin of your latest pack, in the games' installation folder:

for Ultimate Collection: Wherever you installed the game\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins for Legacy Collection: Wherever you installed the game\EP9\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins

make sure to remove sophiedavid's "SDsims2_CareerRewards" if you have it, as well as any of joninmobile's too. you can keep sophiedavid's "SDsims2_AspirationRewards" though!

download @ SFS

note: no idea if this works if you don't have all the expansion packs/UC/Legacy, sorry. you can try, and let me know if it doesn't.

Glowing & Transparent Cat Furs

An update to my transparent cat furs, here are six new colours + a separate set of glow-in-the-dark furs for cats! The whole set includes 15 different fur colours, it’s safe to let them override the old files if you already have my original files from last year.

Before putting these in your game, be sure to download KittenInTheWindow’s Kitten Eye Fix!

Both sets include the colours above + white, the “TransparentFurs” set also includes my original, glossy white based on Bink13y’s transparent skin.

The glowing and non-glowing skins will look almost identical during the day, the glowing ones being slightly brighter. During the night however:

It’s perfectly fine to have both sets in your game at the same time. I am working on these for dogs as well, but I am not sure when they’ll be ready.

the best analogy imo for ocd is mosquito bite. its so itchy its driving you crazy and you know scratching it will make it itch so much worse later but you need it to stop right now and scratching it feels so good and even when you dont want to scratch it and you feel like you could handle the itch you cant even stop your hand from scratching the second you stop focusing on not scratching. except ☝️ what if it was inside your brain and instead of an itch it was terrifying overwhelming distress

Custom Turn Ons/Offs [Requested] - Updated 12/28/2020

12/28/2020: Added Brazilian Portuguese translation courtesy of @kaheiart

Huge thanks to @midgethetree and Simler90, as most of this mod was based on their versions.

Links: Midge’s mod and Simler90′s mod.

Requested by @belladovah

This wasn’t easy to make at all, but I figured I’d take the request as this is something I was very interested in beforehand:

Download: SFS / Dropbox

New Turn Ons:

Poor - Replaces Stink - Like in Simler90′s mod, value of owned lots go into this.

Underwear and Swimwear - Replaces Swimwear.

Rich - Replaces Underwear - Like in Simler90′s mod.

Supernatural - Replaces Vampirism - Vampires, werewolves, witches or plantsims.

Educated - Replaces Full Face Makeup - Graduated from College.

Good Reputation - Replaces Hats.

Bad Reputation - Replaces Jewelry.

Talented - Replaces Custom Hair - Has at least one silver or gold talent badge of any kind.

Great Dancer - Replaces Zombie - 6 or higher level dance skill.

Sci-Fi - Replaces Robots - Aliens or robots.

Brown Eyes - Replaces Plantsimism.

Green Eyes - Replaces Lycanthropy.

Blue Eyes - Replaces Witchiness - Includes dark blue, light blue and grey eyes.

Notes and fixes:

Hard Worker includes OFB managers, teens at level 3 or above of their jobs, adults at level 6 or above instead of 5, young adults with a GPA of 3.7 or higher and teens with a school grade of A- or above.

Unemployed no longer includes OFB business owners.

3rd category of turn ons/offs is correctly displayed on speech bubbles - Simler90′s code.

The “¿How much money do you have?” interaction now accounts for the value of owned lots - Simler90′s code.

Servos and Plantsims no longer get random hair color/eye color traits. Instead, Servos will get the blue eye trait unless they’re currently werewolves or vampires and Plantsims will get the green eye trait.

Feel free to make any modifications. The Lua script is completely commented and hopefully readable.

On a side note, this gave me the idea to sometime start rewriting some of the game’s Lua scripts in a readable and commented form and start collecting the few resources on TS2 Lua that are available out there, as information is kind of sparse. Should be fun.

Hi midge! I was looking at simler90's New Turn Ons mod and was wondering how difficult it'd be to separate the fixes, the TOs into individual files, and change which replaces what.

Hi Midge! You seem very mod-savvy so I decided I would ask you for help! I'm using simler90's turn on/off replacement mod and am not completely happy with either offered versions. I'd like to merge some of them and maybe even replace some of the turn ons/offs with other alternatives. Some people have also asked if a mix'n'match version would be possible. I took a look at the code and I just have no idea where to even start... Would you possibly have any idea how to go about this? Thanks!

It’s not possible to separate the TOs into individual files, but it is possible to change what TOs are what... it’s just a little hard to provide general advice for that without more specific feedback on what you want replaced. I can say you’ll want to replace the UI icon (jpg/tga/png Image), the speech bubble icon (uieffects-headlines-conversation-turnonoff0x, where x is 1 2 or 3 depending on what turn on/off you’re replacing), and name (EP2 Turn On / Off Strings), as well as editing the BHAV and/or Lua Script so the flag for that TO doesn’t get set under the old conditions and instead gets set under new conditions.

I did try to advise someone through this process, and the end result was that it was easier for me to finish up what they’d started than walk them through everything, so I do have an alternate version of simler90′s mod to share. I will not be making a habit of this; I did this because I’d already started trying to help them do it themselves and didn’t want to just abandon them, but my requests are still closed.

Replaced Turn On Offs

In this version, the TOs are:

cologne -> life skills, fulfilled if the sim has learned one of the life skills (parenting, fire safety, couple’s counseling, etc.)

formalwear -> travel, fulfilled by 3 great trips

swimwear -> great dancer, fulfilled by 6 or higher dance skill

underwear -> pet lover, fulfilled by 1 or more pet friends

vampirism -> crafty, fulfilled by a silver or gold badge in toy making, flower arranging, pottery, or sewing

glasses -> education, fulfilled by sims who have graduated college

full face makeup -> stylish, fulfilled by formal wear/underwear/swimwear or a silver or gold cosmetology badge

hats -> influential, fulfilled by sims who have max influence

jewelry -> accessory, fulfilled by hats, jewelry, and glasses

custom hair -> uneducated, fulfilled by sims who haven’t graduated college

zombiism -> sales sim, fulfilled by a silver or gold badge in sales, cash register, or restocking

robots -> robotics, fulfilled by servos and sims with a silver or gold robot badge

plantsimism -> supernatural, fulfilled by zombies, werewolves, plantsims, witches, vampires, and aliens (Maxis alien eyes or skin)

lycanthropy -> good reputation, fulfilled by positive reputation

witchiness -> outdoorsy, fulfilled by a silver or gold badge in gardening or fishing

It was based on simler90′s mod, so fixes like business owners not counting as unemployed are still existent.

UPDATE 7/16/21: Fixed issue that was causing life skills to not be properly recognized for the life skills TO.

UPDATE 7/19/21: Now the previous update will actually work for all life skills, not just parenting.

Turn On/Off Replacements

The latest versions of my turn on/off replacements are posted here. I’ll still keep this version up but it won’t be updated anymore.

There are neat replacements already existing for these but they all get rid of the supernatural ones, which are valid in my game. I didn’t want the ones tied to university or vacation subhoods either as those are only useful in main hoods with them. So here’s my take:

Cologne -> Life Skills (has learned at least two of the life skills)

Stink -> Poor

Underwear -> Rich

Swimwear -> Great Dancer (dance skill is 6 or higher)

Formalwear -> Pet Lover (has at least one pet friend)

Full Face Makeup -> Talented (has at least one silver or gold talent badge)

Hats -> Good Reputation

Jewelry -> Bad Reputation

Custom Hair -> Alien (either skintone, eyes, or both)

I also went and replaced most of the turn on/off icons with some TS4 ones. The beard and hair ones still use their TS2 icons as I couldn’t find any equivalent for them, but they go pretty nicely with these!

Lazy Duchess’ and Midge’s mods were used as a base, so all fixes included with those apply to mine too. One personal quirk though: with this mod sims using the cologne won’t get flowers flying around them.

Now available with alternative icons for Life Skills and Good/Bad Reputation. There’s also a version which in addition replaces the Grey Hair TO with Mersim one. All versions are included with the download but only use one at a time!

Download (SFS) (alternate) - conflicts with other turn on/off replacements, tunaisafish’s Attraction Traits Fix, and some cologne-related mods (but the ones I shared here are fine). The version with Mersim TO requires Midge’s Mermaid Mod.

Update (11.11.2023): With this update, life skills TO requires at least two learned life skills to trigger (instead of one).

Update (24.3.2023): Added Italian, Swedish, and Finnish translations. Updated the Spanish translation for the mersim version.

Update (10.2.2022): A minor update to ensure that all the TOs are labeled correctly in the UK English games too.

Update (14.12.2021): Fixed a mistake on my part that caused plantsims to get an additional trait for lycanthropy and servos to get an additional trait for witchiness.

Update (28.8.2021): Reverted a feature originally added by Lazy Duchess that stopped plantsims from getting hair color attraction traits. Plantsims now get them like any other sims, those with a leafy hair will have the trait for the hair color they would have when cured (as was the original maxis behavior).

Update (24.8.2021): Added a Spanish translation.

Update (16.8.2021): Fixed a bug causing errors at the skill point gain for sims that had learned a life skill.

Credits to @lazyduchess, @midgethetree, and simler90, it’s mostly their work. TS4 icons are from here.

i feel like we've completely killed the ability to just gently tell someone when they're wrong or that their opinions don't pass the vibe check. we have to accommodate every single type of person and all their dogshit opinions OR we have to drive them off the internet, no in between

[nonsensical-pixels]

yes, i know, this has been done already, in a much more 'advanced' way by @lindasims2. but i saw this post by @littlelittlesimmies and just felt very irritated by paywallers, y'know? so have @hydrangeachainsaw's kawaii neko gaming station converted from ts4 to ts2. it doesn't have flashing lights, but it's free for all😉

there are 5 items in this set (technically 7, if you count all of the extra versions!). everything is recolourable; the desktop and chair have repo'd addons. yippee, my first try furniture-meshing! both computers act as monique's hacked computers, too. check the readme or peek below for more info!

DOWNLOAD: SFS | MF 😽

credits go to @hydrangeachainsaw for the original ts4 meshes and textures! plus to monique and @hugelunatic for the original hacked computer and one-tile desk, respectively 💖

ITEMS INCLUDED

Chair - 7832 polys Chair V2 - 7832 polys, repo'd to Chair Desktop - 10796 polys Desktop Standing - 10833 polys, repo'd to Desktop Gaming Station - 4982 polys Keyboard - 7466 polys TV - 126 polys

COLLECTION FILE ICON

it was generated by zoviz so credits to them!

THINGS TO NOTE

In order to get the chair to slot in with the gaming station, don't put it on a diagonal. Turn off quarter-tile placement and place it directly behind the desk part, as you would with a normal desk and table. Go to live mode and unpause; it will slot right in!

The desktop will most likely only match with the gaming station. Use the standing version if you want to pair it with something else.

Yes, I'm aware lindasims2 has also done this set, with lots of neon animations and stuff. That's cool, go ahead and buy hers if you want. But mine… is free 😁

i have a lot more lindasims2 stuff made 'free' that i've been working on over the years. just need to finish it up... i hope. if there are any issues that you find with this set, please don't be afraid to let me know! happy simming, and when you download this, do keep in mind,

Love, ~ Ky 🥰

I feel like advertising is probably the funniest place anyone can choose to predicate their moral arguments against AI on the basis of environmental impact because like. The advertising industry is already probably the most wasteful i dustry in terms of environmental costs vs. actual value it provides, to the point that adding AI to it amounts to a very small drop in the world's biggest bucket. Like.

"Using AI to design flyers looks cheap and tacky" 👍 I completely agree.

"Using AI to design flyers is bad for the environment" I can tell you with 100% absolute certainty that the environmental impact of printing hundreds of paper flyers which will be looked at exactly once and then thrown in the garbage is like. Several orders of magnitude bigger than the environmental impact of generating the picture that will go on said flyers.

sometimes people will insist a character is butch/masc and then you look at the character and they’re just fat. or muscular. or black. or indigenous. or some combination of the above.
