Just a quick mesh fix/ age conversion of Professional Party Guests edit of ScatterJoy’s Inui hair/Lola's Spike. I cleaned up the neck seams and fixed the bone assignments as well as just a little remapping on the sideburns. I also added CM age and cleaned up the files.

Make sure to delete the original version as I renamed the files. Includes ages CM-EM

Best comment I just saw "Helen of Troy was perfectly cast, because all these men are fighting about her."

A piece I've had to finish before it's all assorted alien hullabaloo in here, otherwise it'll forever sit half-done in my art folder, being mildly sticky and gathering lint like a neglected year-old mint candy at the bottom of a bag.

Anyway, shout out to Makin' Magic NPC cast for being a thing that exists. They're my favorite subject matter whenever I want to test where I stand in terms of my brain-to-canvas accuracy, and I'm mostly glad that I locked in and got through four of them this time, instead of stopping at just the flamingo lady.

Makin' Magic was truly the expansion pack of all time. The Sims in general was a phenomenal game. It's odd that there's never been another game in the series after 2013, but maybe it's for the best. Just imagine the bullshit modern EA would've done to it.

Sims 2 Fame Pack WIP

It's been a while since I gave an update on how the Fame Pack is going.

I am very excited to let you all know that @dimond3d (creator of the masterpiece that is the Simwood series) is now a part of this project and has been hard at work on creating custom animations for the recording booth!

Previews are under the cut.

Download: metal walls and floors (with textures from Castaway Stories)

2 floors: 2x2, 4 simoleons, available in Other. Texture: 512x512 pixels.

4 walls: 2 sets, 4 simoleons, available in Paneling. Texture: 256x512 pixels.

The two floors are the same except for the direction. The reason I chose to do this despite the game having the ability to rotate floors is that, for an unknown reason, some ceiling tiles will revert back to the original direction sometimes. And for buildings with curved or otherwise non-flat floors, such as the quonset pictured, replacing the tiles is not a quick task. So having the two directions available from the start prevents that issue.

Textures were extracted from the broken metal hut in The Sims Castaway Stories.

Addressing a few concerns

So, I assume most of you don't know, but there is a bit of drama inside the Paralives community. It's funny because this whole thing is revolving around The Sims 3.

TwistedMexi made his first paywalled "early access" mod called Sims 3 Camera, and I've been working on the same thing as he was. 1. Let's get the "clone" allegation out of the way first.

(Source: TwistedMexi's discord server)

TwistedMexi is accusing me of cloning his mod, but let’s look at the facts. Thankfully, I always use GitHub, so the commit dates are there to prove it.

(2026-05-26 22:27:02 +0200) is a timestamp of the first commit with hash d82ddd909e06833b0f8d5d439ad602d04a4f3e08

(2026-05-27T19:57:44.000+00:00) is a timestamp of the publication date of his Patreon post.

Honestly, I didn't know I could see the future, but ok.

2. The second thing I want to address is that currently there are a lot of awful comments directed at Tmex. PLEASE do not harass other creators.

3. Regarding early access and paywalls: My mods are developed in my spare time as a passion project. I believe in keeping my work accessible to everyone, which is why all of my content will remain completely free, forever. I believe the community should play a role in maintaining projects if the original creator steps away, which is why I always share the source code for my projects Free mods are a pillar of a healthy community, whereas paywalls only lead to gatekeeping and unnecessary drama. My hope is that more creators choose to release their mods in a way that prioritizes community growth and shared resources.

A reblog would be greatly appreciated to help spread this message.

Thanks for reading,

xoxo, Arro Ps. If you want to see a broader discussion on this topic, I recommend this Reddit post that goes way more in-depth than I do. It's a good read.

Edit #2 (04.06.2026): I've been banned from his Discord server, even though I never said a word there about any of this. Oh, and he deleted his messages with the allegations. So thanks, I guess? Not for the ban, obviously. But sure.

4t2 high school years: part 5! [download]

this is the last of my queued hsy uploads for the week. hope you guys enjoy it! 💃

i was originally planning to put this in with my sign conversions, but then i realised just how freakin' high the polycount was for the gazebo. if you're one of the people who insists high polycounts are nothing--be my guest. download it. i'm personally not going to use it except in park screenies because god, how did ea get a debug gazebo to be that high poly?

gazebo - 8428 polys (!! use at ur own risk) sign park - 772 polys

no notes aside from don't blame me if your game explodes! blame @antoninko for the idea to convert all of this stuff (/j, love ya anton)

if anyone wants to see anything else converted from ts4 as hood deco, feel free to send me an ask! my requests are open for now ❤

TS1 inspired UI replacement (Beta 2.0)

Changes:

-Mootilda's Subhood Selection fix now works correctly (if you have this -mod already, please remove it as it is built in) -Updated a ton of icons and ui elements to look prettier -Fixed dark unchanged text

Future updates:

-Adding animated loading screens -Anything I missed or think needs changing -That bulldozer icon that is weird to press

Wtf is this?:

Some of you might have seen my TS1 inspired UI floating around twitter, tumblr, discord etc. I've been having people test it in the Lazy Duchess discord but i've decided to upload it here for others to test and so no one else can claim they made it themselves lol. Sorry for the lazy photos but basically it's a recoloured version of the original UI. Pretty much all the elements are done. I'll keep updating until it is done basically. It's made to suit my resolution which is 1920x1080 but I will add the options for wider screens at a later date. Also not sure how well it works with Legacy editon so just be aware that it might display weird

Install instructions

Place the TS1 UI folder into your downloads.

These are the main files needed

Download

(updated to add version 2.0. Please delete old files before installing new version)

Place this file into your base game UI folder which should be in a directory similar to this "Program Files x86\EA Games\Sims 2\TSData\Res\UI"

This file replaces the background on the main loading menu as it looks weird without it. It is a placeholder.

Download

Do not delete any of the files in your UI folder. (Please)

If you are already using Clean UI or any other UI replacement, Please uninstall them first. They cannot be used together

Special thanks to @greatcheesecakepersona for their templates as they were insanely helpful

Buyable Uni Diploma

Did your sim lose their diploma? Did you make an adult or elder in CAS and you want to give them a background that includes having a degree? Or do you perhaps do your own simulation of Uni that never uses the in game uni functionality? Whatever your reasons, I can think of scenarios where having a diploma on command is helpful, and so I made one.

And a buyable diploma is not much use unless you can set it up to be like an in game one.

Overrides the OBJD of the in game diploma, as well as pie menus, and adds some new debug interactions. You can access them by having testingcheats enabled, and holding down shift when you click the object.

Debug interactions - Change owner (gives you all adults and up on lot as options) - Set honors (impacts what the dialogue says when you view the diploma) - Set major (impacts what the dialogue says when you view the diploma. Cycles all available majors in your game, so if you have any custom, they will show up as well) - Current options are just there to show you what the settings are, to save you having to have a sim go view in order to verify your choices

The options that refer to current sim's whatever will pull from the sim's person data, so use these for sims that went to uni but lost their diploma. For honors, the none option will set the grade as the lowest possible while having still graduated.

My La Fiesta Tech (low CC) makeover #2

2) Fiesta Health Club and Pool (=Fiesta Swim Center)

"Escape the hot desert sun and take a dip in Fiesta's heavily chlorinated fresh water pool. Try-outs for Fiesta's very own swim team 'The Floaters' on Tuesdays. Practice on Mondays and Thursdays. Weekly Keg Party on Saturdays."

I was pretty happy with this one, so I didn't have to change much on my old remake to reuse it in my new playthrough.
