help needed
I need to pay my internet and power bills. Internet is $85.34 and power is $139.27. I would really appreciate some help if possible. I still have a few days on both, as I managed to extend the power bill too.
I am trying and I know it's not enough. I should be doing, but my MDD and/or Bipolar 1 are currently making it difficult to even get out of bed. I'm having a severe depressive episode. Trauma cracks from taking care of my parents are showing through in my brain. I can't stay calm for the life of me, unless I'm so medicated that I feel a distinct cognitive decline.
Making a harsh effort to get some facility to pay for my GED if possible. I may not know anything about this until Friday though (writing this June 7 2026)
If you could please help me, here are my paylinks. I would appreciate any assistance.

Hi! I’m a huge fan of how you create your sims, even attempting to replicate myself a few times. I get confused with all the cc sometimes but I’m slowly improving, that was until I got distracted. Recently I fell in love with a style of sims I see in the sims 4 (most often done by @pearlean). I don’t want to compare creators styles but you seem to be the most creative sims 2 creator, and was I was wondering if this type of style would be possible within the sims 2 and if so with what cc?
hi anon! with all the creativity in this community I'd hardly say i was the most creative but thank you so much haha, I'm incredibly flattered :D
But oh, that's a fun question! I don't follow ts4 in the slightest so I'm not sure if I'm getting the wrong end of the stick or not, but I've had a look at perlean's sims/tumblr and damn that's a rad style, i like it a lot.
I'd probably say it's an answer of both yes and no if it's possible in ts2? I'm thinking the filtering/editing/hand-painting (or maybe some reshade/reshade-esque presets? you'd be best off asking someone else about these as I've never used 'em) is doing some heavy lifting, aesthetically speaking - I'd be really interested to see what the sims look like in raw screenshot form. So it's likely not technically even 100% possible in TS4 on its own with just CC.
Now, seeing as we in TS2 land are a bit more limited with <1000 polygons per face, it'd be even harder to replicate. That level of painterly quality? I'd say it's a no, unless someone sat down and worked really hard on a specific set of CC to achieve that. The comic outlines are definitely post processing too. But! The rest might be more possible, if in adapted-to-ts2 form.
I'll give recommending some CC a go but it might be utter shite I'm talking, I'd need to give making sims like that a go to test haha. I accidentally wrote an essay so I'll stick it under a cut.
GOS is back for good!
Hello! I was the one who fixed it.
Well it wasn’t just me, to be fair. I would have never been able to without @fireflowersims help and HugeLunatics trust in both of us. Thank you to both of them for their work and thank you @teaaddictyt for reaching out and doing the more public communication.
I’m super happy I got the chance to work to fix it. It wasn’t an easy undertaking. It seemed like every little thing would cause more errors, I fixed one and another thing broke. But now it seems stable, finally.
A lot of technical stuff below the cut, beware.
WIP: SimLife Generator (Testers Wanted)
Published: 5-16-2026 (Version 1.5) | Updated: N/A SUMMARY “You can tell a better story when you have a more fleshed out character” – Simulation Princess, 2026 The SimLife Generator is an Excel-based tool for generating Sims 2 character profiles. Use it to create new sims, play with ideas, edit existing sims, or get unstuck in Bodyshop/Create-A-Sim. You can also profile details related to a sim’s background, family, hobbies, relationships, career, lifestyle, and more!
This tool requires one of the following: Excel 2021 and up, Google Sheets, LibreOffice 26, MS Excel Online (via MS Outlook), Office 365, or PlanMaker.
Some profiles will include both default and custom content – disregard what doesn’t apply to your sim. Sims 2 default items are generated on separate lines for ease (“DEF” or “TS2”).
Select Sims 1/Sims 3/Sims 4 items were included so there is some limited application for those games. Lots of descriptive details are available to help you create unique faces/bodies – not everything will have a literal button/slider in Create-A-Sim (i.e. there is no “dad bod” or “bottom-heavy” toggle in-game but the detail can help you assign unique physical features).
See below for more information.
IMPORTANT: Generated suggestions come from a small language model (SML). Text items stored in the gray “DATA-“ tabs – DO NOT ALTER THESE unless you know what you’re doing. The password to unlock these is: cityof2morrow. TESTERS WANTED! If you use one of the programs listed above – I’m looking for another set of testers for the generator. There are a few unfinished areas but it is 95% finished. I’m still looking for feedback on the following:
-What kinds of reference images you need for the FACE profile (I was thinking body shapes, head shapes, eye shapes, beards, 1A thru 4C hair). You don’t have to test Steps 1-5 on this profile since it’s been thoroughly tested – unless you want to! -I need links to TS4 body presets (so I can add them to the suggested shapes part of the BODY tab. -Making pets using the PETS tab for TS2, TS3, and TS4 -General feedback on any other profile tab (which parts you like best, which parts could be improved/explained better). -Suggestions for the CENSUS tab (the plan is to generate a census of sims types. Example: how many low, medium, high income sims a subhood should have). CONTACT ME via PM.

New Story Blog & New Challenge Idea
I came up with a new challenge for Sims 2 called the Test of CC challenge and with that, decided to start a separate blog where I post my sim stories. If you're interested in that sort of thing, you can read them here.
The challenge is to start with vanilla game and work your way to modern era CC, as a way to appreciate old CC and remember how far creators have come!
Interested in the challenge? Read the rules below!
Good morning (from Australia), just an update for everyone that Sims2Artists is now rehosted and accessible once again. The site is being cleaned up and will likely go down again for a major update later down the track, but first priority it GOS.
As to GOS itself, all files have been secured and are in good hands. Still "running into many interesting and varied errors" while trying to update 😱🙈 but the main news is that things are moving.
Just a reminder I have pretty much nothing to do with any of this, I'm just the messenger but I'll certainly post as many updates as I can to keep everyone in the loop 😊
Cheers, Tea xo

i swore i would switch to clay when rl hairs dropped. ;;
I feel like this creation by @alfredaskew needs more people to know about it, love it and use it too! It's a default eye add-on set, which basically means you expand the default eye options in game! They show in CAS with the other default maxis eyes and have maxis-style thumbnails. It's cool as if you grow tired of some eyes you can just edit them and not worry about the drama from removing custom eyes.
AlfredAskew made a bunch of sets using some eye sets, but it's easy enough to edit the files with your own favourite eye sets, which is what I did :D Maybe I'll share them some time. SEE IT HERE
Reblogging this now with the deadsite link
From alfredaskew's Dead Site repository, Originally, all these downloads came from: https://alfredaskew.livejournal.com But is no longer aro
should people @ you if we find the original download links to CC that were uploaded to GOS/s2a before the shutdown? do they count as unavailable cc? just wondering
Hello yolkema! I was just about to make a post about this, hope you don't mind me using your ask :-)
I'm aware of the GOS/S2A situation and I've been lurking. I wanted to see how it all turned out before making a post about it. @teaaddictyt shared an update where she explained that GOS/S2A aren't dead just yet, people are working on getting it up again. I've also reached out to @liquidsims if this is something they would perhaps be able to "mirror" like the old ts2 sites they have done before (if all else fails).
In the meantime, @simnostalgia scraped GOS back in 2023 and you can find it here. I also found this sfs link on reddit. There's also the mediafryer archive. For links, you can plop them into wayback, a lot of links has been saved but not all ofc. I've already stumbled upon some links not archived. To answer your question, yes, feel free to share the links you find!
I've seen people post some links etc already, and I will probably reblog those, and until GOS/S2A are up and running again, I will reply to asks looking for GOS/S2A content. But pleeeease include links* if you have them! Even if wayback hasn't archived it. And if the creator is still active, reach out to them first.
*It makes it so much easier for me, it's already hard enough as it is with Google's fucking (sorry) AI shit. If anyone has any recommendations for working image-search and search engines, please enlighten me.
Also, packrat turns 10 today! I was planning on celebrating with something, but it feels kind of odd doing that right now. But nevertheless, happy birthday to packrat! 🎉
cr1tikal voice: the garden of shadows situation is crazy
Garden of Shadows: a preservation effort
Like many of us, I grew up with Garden of Shadows. To me, it was more than just a forum. It was a place I could ask for help, learn new skills and, best of all, find amazing content in any style I could possibly want. I loved the board names, the people, the themes; everything, really.
And I admit I was more than a little heartbroken to find it gone.
After mulling it over, I decided that I wanted to preserve what I possibly could. I spent a few hours yesterday running through strategies and ideas about how to best go about it, and the best I could come up with was, well, exactly the same.
So, here it is: the Garden of Shadows mirror forum.
I've only just started, but I hope to add a little bit to it every day. The primary focus will be on preserving all the knowledge and custom content. I'm tackling it myself, but if you feel so inclined, you're more than welcome to join in.

PS. I am not here to offend, break Terms of Use, or to step on any toes. This is simply an effort to preserve content and knowledge for a game I have played and loved for over twenty years. Thank you ♥
billie you'll never guess what happened to GoS
I JUST FUCKING SAW, BITCH.
Okay okay, wait let me collect myself.
First, let me say that I'm actually so sad to see it go. It's been a huge part of my time in the sims community. It's a shame that was so sudden. I really loved the community and I think it's a shame that it happened like it did.
With that out of the way.
BITCH, I TOLD YOU. I TOLD ALL OF YOU. I told ALL you motherfuckers exactly what would happen and everyone bitched like "Oh!! Well, WHY would you do this? Especially when it's not like GOS is closing down anytime soon???"
I got hate mail for months. Bitches poured out of the woodwork like "Mmmm I've always hated Billie, just another thing he's done to add him to my shit list" Then HL bitched at me and acted like the scrape cost him a huge amount of case in data usage when that shit was fucking cents on the dollar. I even offered to pay HL back the like 2 dollars that it *may* have costed him to scape.
Well GUESS who fucking took their ball and went home with very little warning?
This is the entire site's worth of custom content scraped. There are a few things that you need to know.- This is not checked to see if depe
Here's the fucking scrape. It's missing 2024-2026. I be that stuff can be scraped as well though, but since it'll have to be done through Wayback it's gonna take time.
SimCave
The news of what happened to GOS makes this a good time to mention, probably, something that I didn't mention earlier because of the hate I received when I scraped GOS.
But I also scraped SimCave.
so gos is dead dead :( i think we can salvage mods from the wayback machine but so much isn't the same
why is every essential sims website just down? GoS, MATY and cyjon's??? good lord
the paid modder crashout will be studied for generations
