the only thing we can hope for is that EA and other game companies experience so much failure pumping out live service trash that EA gives up on Project Rene being live service. Did they say that it’s live service, no, but the vibe imo is EA is gonna try to make (another) live service sims game.
and stop trying to make it fucking multiplayer
Did you miss the BodyShop in the Legacy version of #TheSims2? Problem solved, I show you how to enable the bodyshop in this video:
update; i did try to do this but it didn’t work for me. i can get the body shop to open but the screen is black which is such a bummer. i think it might be the gpu that it’s clashing with?? or maybe i fucked up the pathing idk??? i’m not a tech person so trying to set it up was just about all i could handle
update - i bought legacy
so far, i’ve only had one game crash which happened because of custom skins.
apparently, the team is going to release some bug fixes which is very very funny because some of the reported issues are known issues because the games like 15 years old. so it’s like oh we’re gonna fix the game like we said we were gonna but for real this time.
TS2 Extender for Legacy Collection
Hi :)
I've been poking around in the new Legacy Collection release for The Sims 2.
I started work on a small mod that currently adds the following:
Borderless fullscreen support
Toggle to skip intro videos.
Firstborn Syndrome Fix (Fixes broken RNG in general)
Experimental restored Lua features for modders.
GUNMOD’S RADIANCE LIGHTING SYSTEM 2.5: Now with 100% less blue nights!
NOTICE: THIS MOD IS FOR THE SIMS 2! Do not even try to installl this in your TS4 game.
After lots of fiddling around, I finally got to achieve my TS2 modding dream: to update the Radiance Lighting System to get rid of the annoying blue cast that plagued Sims games since time immemorial.
Download link and more info under the cut.

!! UPDATED THIS FOR TS2 LEGACY EDITION !!
Update is kind of a stretch, I just restructured the files inside so they can seamlessly be copied over to your Sims 2 root directory
Extract the rar linked below, select all folders and paste into ?:\TS2 Legacy\The Sims 2 (where the game files are, not the documents folder). Image under the cut:

reminiscing on this article for no particular reason.
Anyway, popping out of retirement to say that I will try to update MM Lighting Mod and Cinema Secrets to the Legacy Collection folder structure.
Give me some time (unless someone beats me to it)
Cinema Secrets is already updates. Redownload if you're using the Legacy version. Otherwisde no need to
💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾
imma be so fucking real with yall. i want to buy the legacy edition of the sims 2 but i only want it if you can play it with mods.
it doesn’t actually have denuvo, steam updated the listing and it’s no longer there, which is promising but idk
i wasn’t expecting it to be free but it’s really expensive for what it is. i really wanted a remastered version with some updated graphics and ql updates but i knew that was a reach.
Some info about The Sims 2: Legacy Collection
Heads up on The Sims 2 Legacy Collection: It does not have Denuvo. The .exe file for it is only 20MB and Denuvo usually weighs hugely on the executables. Meaning there is no anti-piracy active on this release. Game is also (unfortunately) still 32bit, BUT the executable has been modified to be Large Address Aware, which means it can use up to 4GB of RAM (it comes pre-installed with 4GB patch, basically) There has indeed been some alterations made to the engine, at least to some extent; they did not lie on the game description. There has been fixes on the shadows akin to simnopke's, with resolution tweaks as well. What i think has been happening to some people is hardware not being properly detected, which leads to the same old error with DirectX 9.0c and you having to utilize Graphics Rule Maker to do patch the options into the game (otherwise it would default to the lowest ones available, basically, with all the low resolutions and such). I think EA will likely patch those problems soon enough though. I will be looking further into what exactly was changed and give a follow-up. Wondering if they fixed the First-Born Syndrome?
RUIN HAS COME TO THIS FARM
i just keep thinking about a darkest dungeon x stardew valley cross over like it’s so dumb but also unironically teaming with potential.
the grandfather left the city to live in the valley and started messing around with the occult. he uncovered some eldritch horror and unleashed it upon the valley - tainting everything. he wrote a letter to his grandchild urging them to claim their birthright and take over the super cursed farm to clear the valley of the darkness that he’s plunged it in.
instead of pig men, it would be cow men like the grandfather wanted to experiment with bringing demons into this plain so he started jacking marnie’s cows to experiment on them.
so pelican town would be the hamlet and you’d get stress relief at the star drop saloon, or the hot spring/sauna thing.
idk if the other villagers would be your hero’s or people in town though but lewis would totally be the caretaker
wtf is this rejection letter im crying
im so cluckin sorry

y'all want to see the insane shit the "herbalism" folks on instagram are getting up to
insta is a CESSPIT for "alternative medicine" scam artists rn. this stuff is one of the major pipelines into fascism especially now with the "witchy" accts posting "traditional femininity" crap
Antivaxx is how a lot of people used to get pulled hardcore into fascist conspiracy theory circles, and there is still a ton of antivaxx stuff despite the fact that it's supposedly not allowed on insta, but now the common lures are harder to spot and importantly, styled so that left-leaning folks will be more easily drawn to them. there's a lot of these accounts talking about women's empowerment, indigenous wisdom, sustainability, "body positivity" "taking back agency over our bodies" in order to sell you a subscription box to green sludge.
A lot of people are apparently getting into this stuff through their experiences with poorly understood hormonal and reproductive disorders, such as PCOS and endometriosis.
The amount of medical abuse and incompetent treatment inflicted upon sufferers helps people to get dragged in, and it starts with these "✨witchy goddess empowered Lilith female women earth magic✨" type accounts that post innocuous-looking herbal teas.
I was going to talk about the gender essentialism but actually let's talk about the herbal teas themselves
First of all it's just hilarious how they come up with these super abstract spiritual meanings for plants like "ohh, this plant is connected to Aquarius and the planet Venus and the element Air—" like dude, do you think a medieval midwife would have given a singular flying fuck about that? Go and wax poetic about the star sign of tylenol. Herbalism CAN have symbolic meanings, but some of these metaphysical meanings of plants, I have a hunch they're actually pretty damn physical.
Example: Black cohosh and Mugwort are advertised as "feminine" herbs to "support female reproductive health." They're...abortifacients.
It's wildly dangerous to sell women a bunch of random plants associated with "female reproductive health." If a medieval text says a plant regulates the menstrual cycle, that probably means "cause an abortion," which probably means poisoning you.
These scammers advertise plants as being effective medicine for literally everything and somehow also totally harmless. This is the last thing on earth anyone who knows the first thing about plants would tell you??? Plants are medicinal BECAUSE they have Effects On The Body and that effect is often Poisoning You.
This is hilarious. Medicinal plants, which famously don't have side effects
hey, y'all know what strep throat was known as before antibiotics? scarlet fever. If your ancestors knew that you could cure scarlet fever by taking a little pill but actively chose to drink pine needles instead, they would probably beat you to death.
notice though how this person uses words like "autonomy" "choice" and "nuance" to make it sound feminist to dismiss the potential health risks of medicinal herbs.
As I said before, endometriosis and PCOS are of particular interest for scamming profit off of desperate people. This gets tangled up in the peculiar gender essentialism of the "✨witchy goddess empowered Lilith female women earth magic✨" folks.
In particular, one idea I see a LOT of accounts promoting is that birth control is bad. Initially it seems like validating the experience of people who had bad effects from birth control, but they are actually encouraging their followers to go off of birth control.
The concept of "hormonal balance" is taken and turned into a state of both health and conformity with gender norms. It's saying, Birth control makes you feel bad and sick because it's interfering with your natural state, which is being fertile.
A lot of them end up at the idea that your menstrual cycle defines everything happening with your body and emotions at all times and that you should tailor your diet and workouts around where you are in your menstrual cycle.
On the more "spiritual" side of it you have people writing shit like this as if it's not weird and demeaning and gross
Like I don't even know what to say about this. What
Meanwhile there's these folks actively recruiting people into a cult where they steam their vaginas
Altmed is fascinating the way it has its own collectively maintained worldbuilding. It's like oral tradition but it's all scammers yes-anding shit that other scammers invented. Amazing to see people talking about vaginal steaming like it's an ancient cosmopolitan practice and not something Gwyneth Paltrow made up one day.
this is like. far from the worst thing that's out there. but "Sea Moss" (a particular variety of algae/seaweed) is the really trendy superfood nowadays and I find it very funny, because Japanese cuisine for instance has means of making seaweed a tasty and delicious part of foods, and these people are literally just eating lumpy glop.
Ah yes, The Main Cause Of Issues In The Body
There's also a thousand posts recommending purple passionflower for everything from anxiety to insomnia and all I can think of is that person on erowid.org who took it and had a really vivid, distressing wet dream about Bill Gates.
Like I'm pretty sure the only known/proven effect of passionflower is that it may give you more intense dreams (?). It's not a panacea.
So many of these "herbal medicine" influencers have a whole product line of stupid little pendants and devices designed to protect you from WiFi (I swear to God I am not making this up). Imagine being so addicted to the internet that you think it causes cancer and you still use it.
I wish I could say this was just some weirdo out there but a kentucky legislator introduced a bill to disallow 5G towers from being placed more than 1,640 feet (oddly specific number) away from a dwelling or area "more than 10 people" gather. i'm like buddy can you please just focus on legislation addressing problems that are real
Here's this person that believes allergies are caused by chemtrails and thinks sunglasses harm your pineal gland (????)
Another account trying to get parents to feed their autistic children some kind of concoction that makes them sick but it's okay because it's purging the heavy metals
You heard it here folks, heavy metals are in the glyphosate
Raw milk weirdo, who also thinks plant milks are "toxic sludge" for unclear reasons. Raw milk is a particularly butt ass stupid thing to be obsessed with because the evil unnatural process that DESTROYS the superfood powers of milk is "heating it up but not all the way to boiling, then letting it cool down."
homo erectus milking that mastodon "hundreds of thousands" of years ago:
...Do you ever, by any chance, wonder why people aren't dying of tuberculosis constantly in the USA anymore? That seemed like a big problem there for a while. Wonder what caused that....?????
and here's the obligatory christofascism
(this is an example of a fascist using the term "zionist" in reference to Israel)
Hi, Tumblr. It’s Tumblr. We’re working on some things that we want to share with you.
AI companies are acquiring content across the internet for a variety of purposes in all sorts of ways. There are currently very few regulations giving individuals control over how their content is used by AI platforms. Proposed regulations around the world, like the European Union’s AI Act, would give individuals more control over whether and how their content is utilized by this emerging technology. We support this right regardless of geographic location, so we’re releasing a toggle to opt out of sharing content from your public blogs with third parties, including AI platforms that use this content for model training. We’re also working with partners to ensure you have as much control as possible regarding what content is used.
Here are the important details:
We already discourage AI crawlers from gathering content from Tumblr and will continue to do so, save for those with which we partner.
We want to represent all of you on Tumblr and ensure that protections are in place for how your content is used. We are committed to making sure our partners respect those decisions.
To opt out of sharing your public blogs’ content with third parties, visit each of your public blogs’ blog settings via the web interface and toggle on the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
For instructions on how to opt out using the latest version of the app, please visit this Help Center doc.
Please note: If you’ve already chosen to discourage search crawling of your blog in your settings, we’ve automatically enabled the “Prevent third-party sharing” option.
If you have concerns, please read through the Help Center doc linked above and contact us via Support if you still have questions.
remember to opt out of 3rd party sharing to tumblr doesn't feed your blog to AI companies
