A Sims 2 CC finds blog mostly focused on maxis match content. I tried to tag everything but it ended up turning into a small mess. I think it's still worth to give them a chance, though ;)
couldn't decide which preview I preferred so you get both (make a decision?? ._.)
I made ten retexture/recolours of linacherie's conversion of max20's comfy sofa. :) it's a cute sofa!
6 Pokemon inspired, 3 Freezer Bunny using those simnetwork patterns again and one... East-Asian-ish?
here are the remaining new options :D
download (mesh included, thank you!)
I hope you enjoy! <3
You may know how sinks get wiped from counters if you put some clutter in their corner slots (usually with moveobjects) and went to Live mode. I fixed that!
🧸📺 Following a request from anon, here are the remaining objects from atticwindowatdawn's Wistful Spaces set (11 objects). Decat previously converted part of the set here ⭐ and I completed what was left, namely the TV, the surfaces, one seating box and a lovely Teddy.
You can find the original Sims 4 set here, by atticwindowatdawn. A collection file is included in the download for convenience; if you have Decat’s items in your game, they should be included as well. It’s also low poly (on the higher end) and basegame compatible (YMMV with the TV).
Full object list and extra previews are waiting under the cut ↓
🧸 Atticwindowatdawn's items are very detailed in general and a big challenge for polycount reduction while keeping the object intact, which is why it took me so much time! For example, the TV went from 10,000 to 2,500 polygons... It's still low poly, but a bit higher than standard. 📺💙
Most surfaces have lots of slots! I joined a picture to show all the possibilities.
📦 I redid two of Decat items! First, the Forgotten Laundry, because I wanted a version of the basket with nothing in it. It's repo'd and has 1 slot. The other is the Dish It Out Bucket, because there was some light reflection problem when placed outdoors. They don't replace Decat's item, so you can choose which you prefer !
The Artist's Dresser has 2 versions, one is purely deco and one is a functioning dresser 🎨 You can have both in your game, or the one you prefer, as they are not repo'd.
I managed to make some groundshadow for all objects! Bit of fiddling around but I'm getting much better at mapping.
You do need a copy of LordCrump’s Shadow Files for the shadows to work though, but I have included a copy in the zip, as always!
Items & Polycounts:
Artist's Dresser ————————————————— 1544 poly
Artist's Dresser - Deco ————————————— 1544 poly
Blocky Shelving ———————————————— 2035 poly
Dish It Out Bucket ——————————————— 1838 poly

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.

Special thanks to @lordcrumps for making maxis and clean ui pics and counting pixels with me. It was his and @simnopke's idea to make this thing bigger
Some behind the scenes under the cut
Stage 1, breaking out of the tiny window
Stage 2, figuring out how to mod UI again
Stage 3, going big! But not quite there yet
Stage 4, "should I move it 1 more pixel to the left"
🤓
Secret bonus version for behind the scenes viewers who think that smaller is better, available exclusively and only in starship colors (you can only have one version)
So if ya'll don't know, @morepopcorn has this really cool "simple counter solution" counter which is my new favourite counter for retail businesses. It's repo'd to Nooks and Niches and I was like, ya know, I'd really like some more recolour styles that suit a retail counter...
So I had some fun perusing the 4t2BB Database and picking out some wall textures to make into Nooks and Niches Recolours.
Details, pics and download below the cut!
So pictured above is the Eco Lifestyle smooth wood panels from @littlelittlesimmies
Then we have the Eco Lifestyle Upcycled Wood siding also from LittleLittleSimmies -
Then I did @veranka-downloads's 4t2 Modern Wood Panelling from Dine Out -
And Veranka's Base Game Retrolux Walls:
Next up, @deatherella's Hide n Sleek Metal Panels:
And some @lafeeverte-sims Spa Day walls, in particular 'Steamy Slats' and 'Perfect Mosaic':
Then we have @lordcrumps's For Rent Tomarani Wood Walls, I did the horizontal and vertical types:
Also from Lord Crumps, the Business and Hobbies "Down The Line" vertical siding:
And again from Alex, the Bowling Night Chevron walls:
So I hope some of you enjoy these - obviously they were done with the Simple Counter in mind in particular but it's Nooks and Niches so it's gonna apply to ALL the Nooks and Niches stuff, which I love.
Make sure you've got the Nooks and Niches master for it to work - linked on Poppy's download so I won't re-link it here.
These recolors are repo'd to the Basegame newspaper and will pick up any defaults you have, preview uses this default from @episims. The Meaning of Fruit is a lot smaller than the newspaper but these could be mock up for your newsrooms
Original mesh is from Sims3. I cloned this object from Crisps&Kerosene Ice Cream Stand so you need those ice cream for it to work (download them from the page I linked). Found in the Party Section.
I needed a few storage solutions for my workshops so I made some.
Here are two new objects (both take their textures from the BG Independant Inc. Easel and will pick any recolors you have for it).
Single Storage Shelf. One tile. 36 deco slots. 892 polys. Costs 89$. Categorized as Surface > Shelf.
Double Storage Shelf. Two tiles. 84 deco slots. 1012 polys. Costs 149$. Categorized as Surface > Shelf.
Both can be used for businesses but you won't be able to set the price of all objects on it at once with the Set Price tool like you can do with OFB shelves : you have to set the price of all objects one by one (but it also means you can sell the shelves themselves !).
I also made a random recolor of the BG Independant Inc. Easel for testing purpose and I quite like it in the end so I'm also sharing it.
@syboubou made this beautiful desert outdoor set for Sims4 and I really wanted it for my new neighborhood. So many lovely pieces to convert! So many recolors to do! My energy level just wasn't up for it.
Procrastination paid off! @episims converted part of the set! Less work to do! So I did the rest of the set - items bordered in red on Syboulette's lovely graphic. Many thanks to Syboulette and Epi!
These are 4to2 conversions mostly from AroundTheSims and Syboulette, low poly. I did this for a commission, there are 70 objects in this set, also functional. A collection file is included.
The dollhouses have their own dolls the changing table has babies doll and the sand castle has shovels). The ImagineMe dolls are from The Sims 4 game, they work like teddybears but your sims can also gain charisma from them. The dressed and onesie babydolls work like this too. Vanity table is functional and the little desks and chairs (from Sims 4) are functional just for children.
There are also some functional skill toys for toddlers, the sleepover bed is functional for children to elders. The puzzle rug can be composed as you wish because it's exactly one tile. Rug and the two wall lamps are in Naturalis Kosmik Palette.
There is also a functional Playstation 4 with its controllers.

You may know the technique for raising a pool using the CFE cheat. See this post or this video.
The wonky foundation stuff annoyed me.
I ended up making "specialized" objects for it:
-> A fence with the look of an above ground pool wall.
-> Wall and floor coverings to match it.
-> A tall ladder and diving board.
The fence has two variations, with and without the half-circle pattern on the "external" side. I did my best to have it line up with the wall covering, but it's not perfect.
The ladder and diving board are fully functional and animated. Though as you can see, there is some foot sliding, clipping, and snapping into place. Their target height is a pool raised by six clicks. They can be used with an unaltered one, but the snapping will be more obvious. Both are texture-repositoried to their Maxis equivalents. I included a simple set of recolours for those, seen in the first preview picture.
Both ladder and diving board can be placed over fences and walls (by the water) without the MoveObjects cheat. However, placement may still be finicky. Place them directly on the ground. Make sure you have enough space for their full footprints, and that your pool water is flat.
Thank you to Gayars for helping me test :)
(Turns out pool stuff in general can be tricky. Any ladder or diving board placed on a foundation will have Sims swimming through the ground!)

It's been a while since I did an SCS add-on, and this has been in my WIPs folder for a while, but @teaaddictyt prompted me to pull it out again this weekend, so here is the finished product: a reception desk that combines with the Simple Counter Solution set.
It has lots of slots for a cluttered look. It's on three tiles so you'll need to use quarter-tile placement for it to connect up with the counter pieces.
Did you know sims in this game are supposed to autonomously tease eachother for their bad memories just like how they congratulate their good ones? Unfortunately they broke the teasing feature in a patch at some point.
To be exact, the teasing was broken with Nightlife. It never worked anymore after as the error they introduced was never caught in any patch after that.
A while ago I have released a mod that fixes this as well as issues with the Congratulate interaction where Sims could congratulate each other on bad memories. Here’s the link. Look for “Stupid Congrats and Tease Begone!” :)
For anyone wondering what went wrong: Firstly, Maxis changed the Guardian BHAV in a way where the game would never recognise a memory to be negative because the wrong Temp value got checked.
And secondly, they also reworked a large table with all sorts of constants for each social interaction, likely switched some places around and accidentally gave Tease the “Kiss of the Vampire” values, which of course are all wrong (e.g. leading to Teasing increasing the Attraction Score, or unintentionally locking the interaction from children).
