The right wing looks pixelly because it's actually a different lot. The main building is residential so that Sims can move in to give birth, but I also wanted a community lots for pregnancy scans, prenatal classes etc.
But this post is about the residential part, I'll show you the community lot in a different post.
Tour under the cut!
I wanted to include a little garden so that the patients can enjoy some fresh air.
The reception
The cafeteria
The corridor leading to the rooms.
There are a total of 10 rooms in the building.
This might sound like a lot, but we currently have 9 pregnant Sims in the uberhood. Now, granted, not everyone will give birth on the same day, thankfully!
There is also a nursery on the second floor
The labor room is found on the top floor.
It is very wide on purpose, so that hopefully nothing will block the view for the birth cutscene 😅
There's also a surgery corner in case of emergencies.
I can't wait to start playing with this lot. I did something similar in my old BACC and it was a lot of fun. Although, I expect it will be quite chaotic.
Announcing OpenSO alpha testing 🧪 Signups are open now!
OpenSO is a revival of FreeSO, a fan-hosted recreation of The Sims Online, upgraded with a modern foundation:
Runs on .NET 10 LTS with the latest MonoGame. GitHub Actions automatically builds client, server, and updated shaders for all platforms.
A C# launcher replacing the old Electron one, with an integrated patcher and self-updater.
Replaced the Mina.NET dependency with a rewritten networking and buffer stack supporting TLS end-to-end encryption.
Updated rendering pipeline: dynamic frame rates >60FPS, resolution scaling, new AA options, and optional post-processing effects for 3D mode.
New features: rebuilt Create-A-Sim with zoom & rotation plus larger icons; edit your Sim's gender, appearance, and skintone at any time from the Select-A-Sim menu; a Social Bunny NPC who shows up to help your Social need when your Sim is alone. 🐰
Fixed long-standing nitpicks, like the window scaling/mouse glitch.
Always free and open source, with no pay-to-win or donation perks.
OpenSO is early in development, so things may break or be rough around the edges. Expect frequent updates.
Player feedback will be crucial in shaping the game's direction. Once the foundation is tested under a real player load, the beta release can shift focus to new content & gameplay changes while staying faithful to the original game — as well as events, documentation, tools, and quality-of-life features.
The alpha provides starting funds of $100k to begin building. The testing world, Genesis, will be wiped for the public beta.
Signups are open now and public for anyone who wants to help playtest, report bugs, or contribute ideas and changes.

theres an indoor AND an outdoor "learning" space at the 🌱🌷Nature Center🌷🌱

Bug fixes and more plugins! Theo's Color Binning tool, Theo's Alt Sim Surgery, and JFade's Collection Creator are all added and working. It is on my Github for all 3 platforms, Windows, Linux, and Mac. You can download all three from my Github. You can also download the Mac Mootilda's Clean Installer and Mac Delphy's Download Organizer. Still testing the Mac Mootilda's Hood Checker, but it coming very soon.
EDIT: The Linux version is badly broken. I am currently setting up a Linux testing/coding environment so I can fix this. Looks to be that Wine is not handling DPI awareness the same way Windows does.

‼️I remade this lot on the original, in-game one (just booted up a fresh La Fiesta Tech on a test hood :P) and it turns out it had a broken weather controller which caused terrible lag. I ran it through the lot compressor (removed the weather etc.) + popped the lot cleaner and it's all good now. But just in case you get the lag too, turn on testingcheats and an error should show up. Just delete the mf

Yup I need that many dormies in my game xD Thanks to them this dorm is actually the most affordable one I've done, which is a relief if you play with higher bills. Also the more, the merrier :D Here for example
Fiesta indeed xD On each play-test out of 3 they crowd this little rooftop room just to take a sip of their stupid punch right when they're moving in. They scatter on their own eventually 15 hours later
More pics + floor plans under the cut

I didn't feel like decorating the front wall you can see in the computer room, I think the wallpaper does the job good enough. Btw, with the proximity to cafeteria, some dumbass sims will take their mac n' cheese to the study room
ye you totally had no choice
Some of the rooms
All color themes of the rooms, I think I like the ash brown + mint combo the most. Aaaand yup, the domes you prob have noticed on the roof, those are rooms too. Sims will most likely boil in them in the desert heat but at least they get to have their own mini bathroom :D
So I know there is a debate about the use of AI in the community that I won’t get into but saw that one of its supposed uses was for defaults.
I just wanted to put out there that if anyone has questions, needs troubleshooting, to be walked through the process, or me to look at their files to see if I can spot an issue, I’m really happy to do so. I’m literally happy to help as much as can either over tumblr’s messenger thing of discord if you have it. Just want to be helpful x
Please, I beg, I know it's hard to reach out, trust me I used to be super shy and constantly checking myself over the smallest thing (I still do it, it never really goes away).
BUT, if you need help, however insignificant you think the issue might be, or just want someone to vent your frustration over some stupid problem: feel free to reach out. I don't always respond the quickest, but I always respond. AND, never assume helping others (you) is a waste of time. I cannot tell you how many things I have learned from helping others. I love figuring stuff out! Sometimes, I might fail at doing so, even.
Human connection is the only true constant in these uncertain times. I know it's a struggle, but it's worth it! AI is the anti-thesis to all that.
Same here - I'm always happy to try to help.
Let's share and celebrate the collective knowledge we have in the Sims 2 community - it's a beautiful thing!
I'm happy to play test! I love this community so much and it is my home, would also be up for discussing ideas for storylines, plots, characters and lore! That's my favourite sort of stuff
