Indoor Clothesline

I’ve created a new clothesline that can be placed indoors (unlike the original one). It has no posts since it’s meant to be placed between two walls, like shown in the picture and it’s also higher up compared to the original one. I’ve removed the footprint so it can still be used in small rooms (sims can pass under it and use the other objects too). Rain will not affect it either (unless you place it outdoors). It costs §200, same as the original, and only has one swatch since in the original only the post changed colors. Laundry Day is required (obviously).

Note: When it breaks, you have to replace it by a new one. The “Repair” interaction won’t work due to animation constraints because of the wall. I’ve tried to make it unbreakable by creating a new tuning but the game would no longer recognize it as a clothesline so I kept the original tuning.

THANK YOU!

For this download, honestly. I’ve only had Sims 4 Laundry day for a few hours and I couldn't figure out why I couldn't try the clothes indoors. (yes I know there is a tumble dryer - but clotheslines don't run up the bills).

NO MORE ORIGIN NEEDED TO PLAY/OPEN THE SIMS 2!

GUARANTEED NO VIRUS LIKE OTHER SAME VERSIONS.

The fix to stop Origin from needing to be running in the background is to replace the Sims2EP9.exe with the noCD version of it.

You need to download this one:

http://www.mediafire.com/file/aus7mwe1n0cen05/Sims2EP9.exe+noCD+Version+By+George.rar

You will be installing it in:

\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Fun with Pets\SP9\ TSBin\

Move and Rename your old version first so that you don’t lose it if there’s a problem.

Origin is a dog, and anything we can do to not need it to play a game is good.

Sims 2 Pink Flash & Crash FIX!

Hey penguins, wanted to follow up with my previous post about my Sims 2 crashing and the tricks I used to get it working again! Since applying them, I haven’t had one crash or purple flashing since! (At this point, I have played the game several hours, switched households multiple times and loaded a ton of lots to make sure the issues are gone)

============================================================= Tip#1: Make sure to check that your Graphics Card is listed in the Video Cards.sgr files in your Sims 2 installation folder! If not, use the Graphics Rules Maker , add your GPU to the list and double-check that it HAS been added there (I had problems with this and had to do it manually in the end!). Make sure to copy the new Graphics Rules AND Video Cards files to both folders in the installation location (Config and CSConfig).

Tip #2: Make sure that you have to correct texture memory amount assigned for your game! If you haven’t already, run DxDiag on your computer ( https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028644/windows-open-and-run-dxdiagexe ) , click “Save all info” on the bottom and save it on your desktop. Open and check your Display Memory under “Display Devices”. That Display Memory is the amount you need to change for your Graphic Rules-files. See Leefish post for more info: http://www.leefish.nl/mybb/showthread.php?tid=7909

Tip #3: If you have applied the “4 gig patch”, make sure that it is working properly. Check your Documents > EA Games > The Sims 2 > Logs folder and open a file called “COMPUTERNAME-config-log”. If the memory under “Machine info” (top of the list) is anything less than 4000MB (mine says 4096 MB), the patch hasn’t been fully applied. Jessa shows in this VIDEO how to download AND fix the patch: https://youtu.be/-0iwuLZyjMg

Tip #4: Especially if you are playing on Windows 10, make sure to do the Memory Allocation Fix that Jessa shows in the video above! You NEED this! This fix also helps Windows 7 users!!

Tip #5: (Not sure if this is necessary after applying #4, but I did it before I fixed the memory leak issue and didn’t have any crashes after that either) Make sure your Virtual Memory amount is set high enough in Control Panel > System > Advanced settings > Advanced tab > Performance settings > Advanced > Virtual Memory. Set the custom amount for your main drive to be 25,000-30,000 and click “Set”. === Thanks so much to Gina for this tip!===

Check out Jessa’s post on ModTheSims for more links and important information: http://modthesims.info/showthread.php?t=610641

I’m listing here all the tricks I did both for you guys and for myself aswell, in case I need to go through this whole thing again at some point in the future (after switching Graphics Cards, which thankfully won’t happen in a few years!). Hopefully it’ll be useful and helpful for you guys!

Special thanks to Jessa, Gina and everyone on Leefish forums for all the useful information and tips on how to fix the graphical problems!

Now, on to more Sims 2 livestreams!!! ============================================================== EDIT// Even after applying all the tips above, the flashing pink glitch and the crashing that followed came back to my game after few days. If you continue to have these issues despite of applying the changes above, try these methods! (My game has FINALLY stopped crashing and flashing after I tried these and made permanent changes to the game itself!) ——– IMPORTANT! Watch THIS VIDEO to learn about the flashing pink issue and apply one or more of these tricks: Tip#6: Use “boolProp UseShaders false” to stop the flashing (I’ve added this to my userStartup.cheat file so it will stay on automaticly, especially since I have certain neighborhoods that will always flash pink in the neighborhood view… *cough* Clayfield *cough). Tip#7: Delete the game thumbnails from your Documents > EA Games > The Sims 2 > Thumbnails. ——– If you start getting the flashing pink glitch while playing on a lot (can happen especially if you’ve been running the game for a long time), save and exit the game and delete all thumbnails before restarting the game. I have to delete the thumbnails every time before I load up the game. Tip#8: Change your settings in-game to match the ones shown in the video above! (Shadows: off, Lighting: medium, view distance: medium) This will help prevent any further issues. I’m running Win10 with Nvidia GTX 1070 graphics card and Intel i7-8700 processor, and disabling the shaders AND deleting thumbnails regularly has proven to be the only way of me playing the game without random crashes because of the flashing pink texture issues.

Hi Deedee, yesterday you were talking about how clearing your lot bin made the pink flashing stop, can I ask what you meant when you said that? Did you mean deleting every lot in your bin, or just certain ones, cleaning up the lot files etc.? Thanks very much for your answer :*

Hi! I just deleted the ones that I didn’t find useful anymore (which was like ¾ of all of them - yes, I’m a hoarder) Deleted most of the maxis lots, and my old builds. If you don’t want to go ingame for that, you can do it with Clean Installer (honestly, this program is good for everything cc related lol), just load up your lotcatalog folder, and if you click on the files it previews them for you (then you can remove them with right click) :)

2fingerswhiskey

I also have a tutorial here to help, too:

https://youtu.be/qLkmxAg7r3Y

The reason that the pink flashing stops when you get rid of old bin stuff is that each time you open the bin, a new lot impostor layout (the blurry version you see from above) is generated for each lot you pick up and can clog your game’s texture memory!

I wasn’t expecting to upload anything again so soon but…I guess it’s time for a followers gift? o.0 I’m not sure where all of you came from but I’m happy to see you :) I was going to do it at 100 but I didn’t notice I’d passed it. So here’s a set I’ve been working on for awhile now. I think pets are more neglected than toddlers now so I revamped some older meshes.

Saiz08 Wooden Pet Bed

This is a super cute mesh. Seriously adorable. I split it into two subsets so the frame is separate from the bedding, remapped it to work with patterns better, and retextured it. Find and replace the mesh if you already had it and want to use this. Existing recolors will not work anymore (sorry :( ).

Naschev Bamboo Pet Bed

This mesh had so much potential, but I really don’t use cane or bamboo in my decorating style. I split up the bedding/bars into two subsets, tweaked the mapping, and made a frame recolor with an edited shiny txmt for a nice chrome color that I think looks kind of Eames-like. The quilted bedding is my first attempt at completely hand painting a texture and I think it looks pretty decent. Find and replace the mesh if you had it, but any existing recolors will still work.

Lovelymaa Doggie Basket

I really like this basket. It’s simple but not boring. Made two subsets, completely remapped and retextured in Shasta’s pirate woods and yeti cushions. The patterns on the top of the cushion to the sides do not match perfectly but it’s not enough to bother me beyond using so hopefully no one else will mind too much. Again, find and replace the mesh if you had it. Existing recolors will not work.

Fiddledeedee Half Life 2 Dirty Kennel

This mesh is perfect for apartments where you want to breed a pet but the lot doesn’t have a dog house. Moving sims out and back in to add one is a pain, but putting a dog house inside looks silly. Enter dog kennel house! I also like it for lower income lots. All of the maxis houses still look a little pricey. The original textures were bloody and stained and my game is not dystopian. I did my best to repaint the original texture by hand, hopefully I succeeded. The mesh is included but not changed so if you already had it, just delete the included one.

Freezer Bunny Pet Pillow

There was nothing wrong with this mesh, I just wanted more colors. I copypasta’d Poppet’s freezer bunny recolors and Freezerbunny’s Grimm Bunny and made some quick dirty states. Mesh is included for convenience but not changed from the original.

All cushions have working dirty states, and the kennel colors show correctly in neighborhood view. Full credits are in the rar.

Thanks to the creators whose meshes I used, colors I borrowed or textures I pasted, and my patient dog Tex for being my model. And thank you for following me! You all are lovely!

I made some floors back in January and finally had some time and motivation to make a couple of recolors and import all of them into the game. There are five wooden floors and three carpets. Happy weekend everyone!

Fred & Natalya Secretaire

Download on GoS as part of the Eureka theme

I was on MTS, looking for a download that I had years ago and found a really cool thing from 2007. Excellent functionality from 2007 + Mesh from EA that needed that functionality = The Fred and Natalya Secretaire. Your sim can use the desk and another sim can get books from the shelves on the desk. Cool, no?

Awesome!

Glowing Computer Fix

With this mod, turned-off computers don’t glow as if they were turned on, after you load a lot or take them out of a sim’s inventory. Custom computers are also affected.

There are two versions of this mod. Get simNopke-glowingComputerFix-EP8 if you have Apartment Life or Mansion and Garden Stuff installed. Otherwise, get simNopke-glowingComputerFix-base.
