PSA: if anyone is experiencing a crash when a sim comes back from their sophomore year final exam (the one that should get them the 'change aspiration?' popup), check if you have these. i spent a depressing number of hours 50/50ing yesterday only to discover it was the pants she was wearing gyaaah i wish i knew how to fix it entirely but have made do with changing her clothes.

i wonder if they're the same ones this person had?

Just found out this morning, on Facebook from Story, that @fuzzyspork died on June 28th. She finally lost her fight with cancer.

I'm going to miss her bright shining light in the Sims 2 community.

If you have time, go send her a message so her family will know how much we all loved her.

couple of tips for moving your ts2 game to a new machine!

this is for a specific category of ts2 players in which i also belong: people who have played for a long time on one machine and maybe have reinstalled on it but have not had to reinstall on a new one for centuries and have forgotten about some basic/ obvious stuff, hopefully the following tips will save you guys from the freak outs i had. this is really small and assumes you are familiar with the whole win 10/ts2 graphic rules debacle situation and have already gone through it

[TS2] Height Mod

Overview

This is an experimental Proof of Concept height mod for The Sims 2.

Sims have configurable height differences between genders, ages and a unique height difference per Sim.

By default, elder Sims and female Sims are now shorter, but this change can be reverted or adjusted if desired.

Download

SFS / Patreon

Installation

You NEED Smarter EP Check for this mod to work!

If you're a Sims2RPC user copy the TS2HeightMod.asi and Height.cfg files into your (Sims 2 Mansion & Garden Installation Folder)/TSBin/mods folder. For example, C:/Origin Games/The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection/Fun with Pets/SP9/TSBin/mods.

Otherwise, copy the TS2HeightMod.asi, Height.cfg and dsound.dll files into your TSBin directory (not mods)

If not on Sims2RPC, you NEED a cracked version of the Mansion & Garden executable (Sims2EP9.exe) for the mod to work.

Copy the "Downloads" folder into your Documents/EA Games/The Sims 2 folder.

The "ld_Height_AutoChildren.package" package makes children born in-game generate with a random height automatically. You can remove it if you don't want this behavior.

Usage

To begin, buy the Height Cheater object from the Misc. section and place it anywhere on the lot:

You now have a suite of height-related interactions:

Randomize Entire Neighborhood - Randomizes the height of all Sims in the neighborhood, including the active family.

Refresh Lot Heights - Resets all Sims in the current lot in order to visualize the new heights.

Refresh Me - Resets the current Sim in order to visualize their new height.

Randomize This Family - Randomizes the height of all Sims in the current family.

Randomize Everyone with No Height - Randomizes every Sim in the neighborhood who hasn't had their height randomized yet.

Randomize Me - Randomizes the height of the current Sim.

Set My Height - Manually set the height of the current Sim.

Get My Height - Get the height of the current Sim.

Caveats and bugs

Sims won't look different heights until you reload the lot or use one of the refresh interactions. I recommend reloading the lot if possible, as refreshing can re-roll wants and delete visitors.

In CAS, changing a Sim's gender won't properly update their height until you use the randomize button or change their age.

Configuration

In the Height.cfg file, you can configure a few things about the mod:

The first value, Multiplier, when increased will make individual Sim height differences more drastic. I found 0.0011 to be a good balance, but you might want to increase it if you don't mind awkward animations, or reduce it if you want less wild variety in heights.

Next, you can set the height multiplier for each age (teen and up) and gender. Increasing means taller, decreasing means shorter. 1.0 is default, so setting them all to 1.0 means vanilla default heights for both ages and genders.

UK petition: Ensure Trans people are fully protected under any conversion therapy ban

I'm sure you're familiar with the news from earlier this month (April 2022) that UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has gone back on his pledge to ban conversion therapy for trans people.

There is now an official UK parliament petition that calls for the government to ban conversion therapy for everyone.

[ Sign here ]

The deadline is 6 October 2022. It has just over 3,000 signatures so far, and it needs 10,000 for a response from the government and 100,000 to be debated in parliament.

You can sign if you live in the UK or are a British citizen living anywhere.

It's being tracked here, so you can see graphs of the rate of signatures over time.

If you're in the UK or you have followers who are, please consider signing and/or reblogging! Every action helps, no matter how small.
