Hairs recolored in my usual palette + 12 extra unnaturals (the same I used for these). No mesh edits.
I use Grenade both as a blond for toddlers-adults and as a grey for elders - if you don’t want Grenade for elders, delete the files that end with “_grenade_EUgrey”.

There are too few curly hairs out there, and even less curly hairs with bangs, so as a curly girl I decided to ta saken i egna händer 💃
This is Arcia's Lea hair but with bangs for AF-EF. You can use both my mesh and Arcia's original at the same time. I repo'd half of the textures back to mhairdavid from M&G, which I defaulted using these textures from @y2sims. This means that both M&G and my default are required for my recolor files of the hair to show up correctly. If not using my default, the hair will look weird. Since I defaulted using the textures from y2sims, I re-used y2sims' recolor file, meaning you have to delete their file before installing mine.
Polycount: 1.8K *smiles delightfully*
Texture size: 512x512 (+ repo'd to Maxis' textures)
Animated: yes!
Unfortunately my bangs have some transparency issues I don’t know how to fix. I tried merging them with a variety of groups but it didn't help sadly.
While I was at it, I made *new recolors for Arcia's original Leah hair and repo'd them back to Maxis' textures and to the textures in my edit of y2sims' recolor file I mentioned above. I also repo'd the male recolor file from y2sims' for Acria's male Leon hair, to umhairdavid. Again, I re-used their file so make sure you delete it as well. Basically, if you install all files, you get 3 (4 if you include Maxis david hair!) hairs all using the same textures. If you're confused which files are dependent on what and which files you must delete, there is a clear list included in the download<3
*Using @deedee-sims' recolors as a base, bc for some reason the gray hair didn't show up when cloning using Arcia's files. My files don't conflict with DeeDee's.
^Shitty bodyshop preview of the other meshes from Arcia included in this download.
Other defaults for hairdavid, if they are created the correct way (i.e made with new resources, not replacing the textures like I did in my default), they should be compatible with my default. Oh and also, I merged the AM/EM Leon hair with the TM version (because why have two files when you can have one?) so delete any Leon meshes you might have and replace it with mine. I would love a TF version of Lea and my v2 version (with bangs) but I'm not talented enough to try and do that 🤡
This hair is very similiar to my own hair irl, so I made a second brown recolor matching my hair color. This is included and I've merged every rec for all meshes inside it, so this single file (this specific brown recolor that is) will work with all of the meshes included. I think I have binned it correctly? Do let me know if anything in this download is wonky, I'm sure I have fucked up somewhere haha. Compressed, no mipmaps and all meshes are included with thanks :-)
I've had this hair in my folder since 2021. Everytime I poke at hairs I remind myself of how much I absolutely despise it. You hair meshers/converters/recolorers out there are SUPERHUMAN, I could never!!

Credits: Arcia for the hair meshes, y2sims + deedee-sims for the textures and files, and lastly Maxis.
Yes? Well, tough - here's a collection of small plugins that don't deserve any major fanfare, but that you may still find useful. There's only two of them at the moment, but I'll likely be releasing additional ones once in a blue moon (whenever I find something minor that's bothering me, basically).
TS2CineDrawDistance
This one improves the absolutely disgusting terrain draw distance during cinematics. No idea why they don't just use the draw distance settings you already have applied, but whatever.

Pleasure-Inducing Patch:
TS2MovieSkipper
I may have shamelessly stolen this idea from TS2 Extender, but I made this for myself to help my sanity while debugging, and to reduce the risk of carpal tunnel syndrome from repeatedly mashing the ESC key. It simply patches out those abrasive intro movies, so you'll never again have to have your ear drums blown out by "SUL SUL!".
a simple hat recolor conversion while i procrastinate on making hair previews. sixteen swatches, i didn't convert the rest because the textures didn't look good. mesh by @mdpthatsme required and included. as with most hats it clips with many hairs so be aware of that.
I’m a big fan of favorite lists, so I thought I’d do my own. I’m starting small, with table lamps, and I tried to include different ones than some of the other lists I keep going back to, like Simper-Fi’s or Deedees. So, here we go:
Flamingo’s Favorites I: Table Lamps
1. pforest, Cool Desk Lamp
Listen @pforestsims, I could have listed 15 of your lamps here. They are all gorgeous, they are all in my essentials folder, it was hard to choose, but I cannot have more than two items by the same person on this list, that would be ridiculous.
2. Veranka Boston Bedroom Table Lamp
Love the fabric, need to find (make?) some more recolors…
3. pforest, Glass&Brass Banker Lamp
The pineapple, again. Such a classic, I put it in all my libraries and bookshops and on many writer’s desks.
4. Moxxa, Awesims MidCentury Ball Lamp
Look at those little feet!
5. Shastakiss, Awesims Bubble Table Lamp
The colors of this one are so pretty.
6. Thimblesims conversion of Peacemaker’s Mid Century Abode Table Lamp
This one became a fast favorite.
7. Ladysimplayer8 Bubble Trouble 4t2
Such a perfect little retro lamp!
8. Veranka Axel Livingroom Table Lamp
Whoops, Veranka again. This is my go-to tiny modern lamp.
9. Dot, Pinkie Lamp
T$R, sorry. Dot has made many more great table lamps!
10. Shastakiss Ammonite Shell Lamp
Kind of weird, kind of a classic, typical @shastakiss.
11. Veranka Geometric Table Lamp
I usually only keep a few recolors, but for this little lamp I kept them all.
12. @crispsandkerosene, Tropical Water Lilly Light
Much more versatile than you’d think! There is also a version for water surfaces by julsfels.
13. pforest, Saturn Lamp
Yeah I lied, it’s three lamps by @pforestsims.
14. Mango Lampe de Chevet Diva
CC from what feels like long ago, I still use a lot of lamps from that site!
15. Pixelry Pace Ball Table Lamp
Kind of the same as the last one but not, I definitely need both. Hi there @thimblesims :-)
I found their site through their Sims 1 CC, as this seems to be the only thing they’ve shared that’s for TS2 - All their Sims 1 CC is also full of 80s style :)
Firstly, I know I am posting A LOT but I just saw this mod work. I saw a townie in Twinbrook that got set on fire due to the summer heat and I saw my custom memory and got excited!!! The above image was just a test :P
These mods come with a custom memory. In the unmodded game, Sims only get a generic memory for fire in any form.
With my mod, Sims will also get a memory for being ON fire!
The memory is called "Got Set on Fire!"
If you use the Pyromaniac 3t2 trait, these Sims will have a GOOD (green) memory from being set on fire. Daredevils will also get a good memory. Everyone else gets a bad memory.
You don't need traits to use this memory, just Easy Inventory Check.
BOTH files in the ZIP are required. Download "ys2g_MEM_setonfire" AND ys2g_MEM_setonfire_event" to use this mod.
PART 2
Pyromaniacs can start fires!
This is a custom self-interaction. Only pyromaniacs can do this. They will start a fire right in front of them! Make sure they have clear space to do this.
Download ys2g_pyro_startfire to use this mod
No conflicts that I know of, but you might want to check if you have a mod that uses the BHAV "Panic-On Fire! All files require Easy Inventory Check. Run HCDU to sus out conflicts.
Hello fellow Aussie simmers (and others too of course!)
Ever wished for some really Australian looking trees for the Sims 2? Me too.
I have finally overcome my fear of trees, with much support from amazing friends like @tvickiesims, and would like to share some gifts with you all.
Read on below
Firstly, a while ago, @jacky93sims fulfilled a request to convert some Yeronga Trees. I've taken those, recoloured them a little (cos they were a bit too "green" lol) and made hood deco versions too.
Hood deco:
Lot versions:
These are super pretty, I quite love them.
Next, I found a free model online for a Ghost Gum tree and went "ohhhh, pretty!!!!" and made that into a hood & lot tree.
Lot version is on the left:
Hood version is the 2nd from the left:
Then, I got my fingers into the amazing, wonderful work of Tvickiesims, and I messed around with a buuuuuuunch of trees, mostly just re-sizing and retexturing things. I would like to give a HUGE shoutout to Vickie for ALL of her amazing trees and her support during my project.
I messed with 2 previously done Eucalyptus tree conversions -
Lot view:
Hood view:
I messed around with a cute little "Mimosa tree" and made it into a Golden Wattle tree that flowers in winter (no snow) and spring -
Hood view:
And Lot view in 2 sizes:
Non-flowering state:
I messed around with a conversion from Adventure Awaits that kind of looked like a bottlebrush tree and made it look a bit more like a bottle brush tree, this one is for lots only:
I messed around with the "Mighty Hawthorn Tree" and made it into a "Mighty Gum Tree" instead - on the right
I messed around with Vickie's 4t2 Batuu tree conversion and made it into another gum tree:
Aaaaand I messed with a "rainbow gum" conversion of hers too and retextured and re-sized it - 2nd on the right:
I also took a tree she'd done called the Salix tree and made a slightly larger hood deco version cos I thought it looked a bit like a peppercorn tree, which is technically a South American tree but these are alll over NSW:
I, erm, may have gotten a little carried away.
The fun thing about Australian gums is that there's
a) a million different varieties, and
b) they're all super unique, so I felt like I needed many different tree models😂
Here are some IRL pics of some beautiful gums that I took for inspo while I was working on this project:
Just in case you've never really seen a great big old Australian Gum Tree before 😊 They can be quite huge and rather spectacular!
All trees are "seasonal" as in they have snowy states and should not flash blue in any season (hopefully), and some have flowering states in select seasons. However, Eucalyptus / Gum trees are evergreen so don't change colour or lose their leaves in autumn and tend to stay about the same year-round, so the season variability is fairly low 😊
So, if you'd like to download my trees: here are some links.

Invisible Chessboard & Board Games - for The Sims 2
I made an invisible chessboard as a new object (not default) so your sims can "pretend" playing multiple games.
It looks like an OMSP with an invisible recolor. The arrows will help you place the two chairs correctly.
First, place it on the ground together with two chairs. After they slide into position, you can place one of the deco board games I converted (or any other deco board you already have in your game) on a table of your choice. Then place the table on the square and voilà! Even the chess pieces will be invisible.
You can find the deco games under Hobby-Miscellaneous. I also converted some of the game boxes. The invisible chessboard can be found in the same category as the original chessboard.
Board games are from Aroundthesims, low poly.

Replaces the head and the social bunny textures. Clean textures (with missing eye restored) are by Phaenoh, I included them because I edited a few pixels around the eyes to make the blinking animation look better.
Both eyes are animated.
Compatibility: Not compatible with texture or mesh defaults.
Credits and thanks
Phaenoh for the clean social bunny default replacements
l-1-z-a, justmiha97 and paluding for the discussion on face blends.

cs_campfire 1253 (bv)
cs_toiletstall 1286
default_cs_bonfire 1496 (uni)
Sims can’t flush toddler potty balloons or aquarium fish down the stall’s toilet but I don’t think the bg toilet stall lets sims do that either. The bonfire is a default replacement for the uni original (no more bear chairs on fire). Thanks as usual to @hugelunatic for their kind and smart help!
This is a set of 10 non-default face templates commissioned by the lovely @erekiio! Some faces are new combinations of maxis sims, while others are templates from v1 of my default set that did not make it to v2. Included are optional files for the infant age stage.
Sims 2 Mod: Less Badge Requirements for Manager Promotions
In Open for Business, an Employee must have 5 ‘Badge Points’ in order to be eligible for a promotion to manager. I think this promotion requirement is too steep. A Bronze Badge is worth 1 Badge Point, a Silver Badge is worth 2 Badge Points, and a Gold Badge is worth 3 Badge Points.
This mod simply reduces the requirement from 5 badge points to 3 so now the minimum requirement would be either 3 Bronze Badges, 1 Silver Badge and 1 Bronze Badge or 1 Gold Badge.
