WCIF a hair like this for ts2?

It's possible I missed something like this, if it exists. I've seen similar hairs but there's always a feature that doesn't match what I'm looking for (it's always wavy at the ends or not long enough, etc).

How To Read (& Edit) Pet Data

This How-To can help with editing in game Pets or PetBreeds to change their face/body, adding fur accessories, adding heterochromia, or to blend genetics to mimic the pacifier*. Be sure to edit appearance in mirror to see any changes.

I will do my best to make this as clear and easy to understand as possible, but in all honesty there is A LOT of information. Some of it will only make sense if you already are familiar with editing CC and game files due to the jargon and syntax. Some things I also just frankly don't know, or I may have forgotten. As such, if you discover something about pets that I haven't mentioned, please share it here for others as well. Please refer to this spreadsheet for all pet genetic codes.

Now to start! Pet genetic data is stored in the AGED (Age Data). You can find this file in any petbreed.package or in a pet's personal characterdata.package. All things genetic and appearance wise seem to pull directly from this file (except collars). When you first open it, it can get overwhelming at first. Once you know what you're looking for though, it gets (a bit) easier. Below are the important lines of interest:

eyecolor (dtString)

alteyecolor (dtString)

Pretty straight forward. These are the eyes. If both values are the same, then the pet will have only one eye color. If they are different, the pet has heterochromia. Heterochromia is NOT normally inheritable, so editing this value yourself is the only way to mimic it. Not only is heterochromia NOT inheritable, but only the right eye color can be passed down and never the left. All born-ingame pets will have both these lines somewhere already, but sometimes alteyecolor may be closer to the middle of the list or the bottom. Some petbreeds may be missing this line however. Luckily, it is very easy to just add it in yourself. Note that puppies and kittens can't display heterochromia yet due to the way their mesh was made. You will need Paluding's and my default replacement meshes for rectify this.

petbodyoption# (dtString)

These are the tail shape and ear shape. There are currently 4 possible tail options for cats. For dogs, there are 2 ear and 6 tail options.

coatlayers (dtUInteger)

The number of coat layers. Pretty obvious, which is nice. This includes the pet's base coat, so for example if a pet has 5 coat markings then this should say 6.

coattex# (dtString) - Coat Texture, color of the coat

coatmask# (dtString) - Coat Mask, or the marking

coatmaskamt# (dtUInteger) - Coat Mask Amount, the opacity

These are the markings themselves. coatmask0 should always be left blank as it is the base coat color. 0x000000FF is the maximum opacity that a layer can have. If a pet offspring inherits a marking, it will usually be an exact copy color/opacity wise of their parent.

numpsd (dtUInteger) - the number of archetypes/modifers applied

psd# (dtString) - References the Face Arch Modifiers and Pet Body Modifiers

...Pet Slider Detail, maybe? In a vanilla game, 1 click of a slider is typically equal to 0.150000. Psds are typically written as family:4:amount of change. Positive values go left, and negatives go right. There will at times be multiple copies of the family, it's due to the game listing every time it's changed even slightly. I believe the game takes the sum value of all and applies them (or it goes down the list, if order turns out to matter). You can edit these lines directly to change them, or you can add/delete the lines yourself. Just make sure to have the psds numbered numerically and the numpsd line matches any changes. All modifiers are applied over the base archetype used, which means if you remove all but the psd0 lines, you will have the base pet shape.

Value wise, I'm not sure what the limit may or may not be, but you can go pretty extreme and even use whole numbers. Here's my experiments with Skull Small-Big set to 4.000000 and to -9.000000

You may notice that some lines don't have a family or they have a number that is NOT 4. Those are archetype modifiers. Archetypes are the "face templates". Edit those values at your own risk, as the possible results for these are more unpredictable.

numpbd (dtUInteger) - Number of Pet Body Decorations, or the number of fur accessories

pbd# (dtString) - Pet Body Decoration, or at least that's what I choose to believe

This is where you can add or remove fur accessories. Those are the fluffy face or beards and such. These objects are typically dependent on the color of the pet. Can be edited, added, or removed to your liking. Just be sure the numbers are correct.

coatflags (dtUInteger) - Coat Flag, the type of fur for cats & dogs

This determines whether a pet is "smooth" or "curly". This can also be easily changed in the mirror instead.

coatshapemod (dtString) - Dog only, refers to the Coat Shape Modifiers (the "collie" or the "airedale" body shapes, etc.)

coatshapemodamt (dtString) - Dog only, refers to the slider amount applied. Values are in decimal, with 1 being the max slider.

These are the dog only coat shape sliders. Dogs can only have 1 I believe. I didn't test this section heavily, so I don't now if values can be more than 1.

Note: About the "pacifier". When pets breed in game, they don't mix face genetics like humansims. All kittens/puppies will either get mom OR dad's shape, not a mixture of both. While it's tedious, you could in theory use the knowledge from this How-to to pull parts from both parents to be "inherited" by their offspring. You can randomize features with a coin flip or something and then apply them into the Age Data. As a reminder, edit appearances in mirror to see any changes.

I rarely use this feature but I find it so cool.

I noticed while making over the ex-townies that I didn't pick new casual clothes for any of the men or boys. I think it's because wanted the new clothes to resemble the originals but I don't have a lot of custom clothes for male sims that are not too out there. But tbh I don't mind them wearing Maxis clothes.

Media-related patches I embroidered for fun.

I really really hope that takes into account the loading times and all the idle time when the game is open but I'm not playing it. Because that number is like 50 days in 14 months.

So I tried a little experiment. I haven't looked for anything about the earthquake in Venezuela on the internet. My information came from tv and people. The result is I don't get any posts, videos or shorts recommendations about it. It is kind of worrying that youtube will repeatedly recommend me fnaf videos I don't care about until I watch one of them from sheer boredom but won't even try to recommend informative videos about the situation in Venezuela.

Hi! How can I make What Caused This work on Linux Mint?

Hello Hello! Basically you want to add it as a locally installed game running within the same wine prefix as Sims 2 - most likely called "the-sims-2". Here's a very easy method to setting up any Sim-tilities in Lutris once you have Sims 2 working: 1. Right-click / duplicate Sims 2 in Lutris 2. Give the duplicate whatever name you want it to have (e.g. "What Caused This" 3. Right-click / configure the new "game" 4. Go to Game Options, Executable Path, and change that path to point towards What Caused This (or whatever .exe you want to run) 5. Make sure your wine prefix has dotnet20 and dotnet40 installed. Program should then run. Once it's running, you may have to manually configure the game paths in the settings within What Caused This, so make sure you go to file / configure and point it towards the right file paths to find your game & downloads folder. Should work fine :)

Last night I had a nightmare. I finally remembered enough to realize it's a recurring one.

Basically I'm stuck in a hotel in a town I don't know, sleep deprived. The hotel owners only goal is to annoy their customers to the point of torture. It's drunk karaoke, terrible stand up comedy and extremely loud cartoon noises, all at the same time, all the time. And if all that crap isn't enough to keep me awake, the owners being absolute creeps is. Complaints fall on deaf ears. If I try to leave, the parking lot is full of monsters that will chase me all the way to the car and eat the tires.

This lasted for about two real life hours until I woke up and realized fluffy pajama pants and three blankets are no longer appropriate for the current weather.

Has anyone made SimLogical's School Types compatible with midgethetree's Witches only fly if have broom? I have some sims that go to night school (they are vampires) but they can only take the bus, I get an error if they try to walk there.

Edit: Solved, see comments. To summarize, the problem was in the Night School mod, not a conflict between the other mods. @heathensimmer offered to help and fixed it, you can download the updated mod here.

Fangirl grew up and looks a lot like her mother.

Hello (: I really like your cartoon-ified frog mask <3 would you like to change the color back to the original ts3 green from TheNinthwave as well ? I tried it myself with gimp, but the results were even scarier than the frog itself xD

Hi! I'm really sorry, I'm not interested in doing that. Maybe someone else can help you with it though.

[freezerbunny-sims2]

Sims that never age are kind of boring to me unless they have something else going on. Which is unfortunate because when I started building Buenos Vientos I had a VTMB-like clans system in mind, but I never developed the idea further. But I had already made a few households with vampires which I rarely play.
