Breakup, New Family Member, and Go Steady Wants/Fears Mod

This was made by a member of my community, Riftwalker, who graciously gave me permission to upload their edited version of the EA WantTrees.

THIS FILE DOES NOT GO IN YOUR MODS FOLDER.

This overwrites: The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Wants\WantTrees.package

What is this?

EA broke their 'Break Up' wants in vanilla Sims 2. This fixes it, along with other fixes:

Teen, Young Adult, Adult and Elder sims of all aspirations can get a want and a fear for Break Up.

Teen, Young Adult, Adult and Elder sims can get a want and a fear to Go Steady.

This is already possible, but Riftwalker added "True" so that teens of all aspirations (instead of just family) and children can get a want "New family member", which is cute and it's them basically saying they want a new sibling.

Teens can roll woohoo wants. (Credits to Syberpunk on MTS)

In one instance, Uni wants for all aspirations has been enabled, and in another instance, engagement and left at alter wants and fears for all aspirations is enabled.

Supernatural Default Skins for IO's 0320 edit v2

So, I've been using this skin by IO (@serabiet) edited by Sam (@dreadpirate @veronavillequiltingbee) as my default for some time and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT.

The only problem I had with them is that there weren't any Vampire / PlantSim / Evil Witch / Zombie / Genie matching skins... so I made them!

Here's a preview of (in this order) Vampire, Zombie, Evil Witch, and Plantsim skins/overlays:

And here's the Genie skin:

Info and more images + download under the cut...

Human Skin

Here's how Sims in the 4 skin tones look with the human skin, so you can compare them:

Vampire

With this overlay vampires are paler, have cooler/grayer skin than human sims, and have red eyes.

Zombie

This skin/overlay is totally opaque, this means that their original skin color won't change how they look even if you have the Zombie Overlay mod by @midgethetree.

I still recommend using that mod with this skin, because if you do, zombies' eyes will be white instead of their normal color.

Evil Witch

This overlay has transparency. With this overlay evil witches will be green, but their original skin color will change how they look.

I didn't make an overlay replacement for Good Witches because it already works well with the skin. If you don't like it, you can always use a mod that disables it.

Note: be sure the witch skin loads after creaturesfixes if you have it. If the skin loads before the mod, the witches' scalp will look a different color than their skin. I spend like 1 hour trying to fix the scalp looking weird and it turned out to be this lol

PlantSim

This overlay is totally opaque, this means that their original skin color won't change how they look.

There's also the wilted version but I forgot to take pictures

Genie

Not much to say... just a genie

Swatches (with transparency)

Credits

@serabiet for making the original skinblend, and @veronavillequiltingbee for making the edit.

@withlovefromsimtown for the Six Feet Down zombie skin I blended with IO's.

How to Fully Overhaul The Sims 2 Bodyshop (Mods List)

Here are all the mods you can use to make your BodyShop look like this:

or even something like this:

This is how the default BodyShop looks. Is small, dark, and kinda ugly:

Brightness

The Brightening up BodyShop mod by WesHowe on MTS will make BodyShop look like this:

There are 3 levels of brightness to choose from. I use the XB version.

Widescreen + Clean/Starship UI

Using BodyShop Clean UI & Widescreen by SmugTomato on MTS with the previous mod, will make BodyShop look like this:

Or if you prefer a darker interface, you can use the Starship UI Bodyshop by redandvidya on MTS:

Backgrounds

There are two kinds of backgrounds on BodyShop; a 3D scene and a 2D image. The 3D scene is the one you see in the pictures above, and the 2D is a flat image that appears when you press F5. There are default replacements for both of these, and you can have one of each type at the same type without problems.

2D Backgrounds

If you want to change the background that shows when you press F5, you can use one of these plain color backgrounds by @kat-simss. Here's how one of these looks:

Or you can use one of these matching Clean UI backgrounds by @davely-1. Here's how one of these looks:

3D Backgrounds

If you want to change the background that shows when you open BodyShop without you having to press F5, you can use one of these replacements by @socialbunny. Here's how one of these looks:

Or you can use one of these by windkeeper on MTS, that seem flat but are actually a 3D scene (so you can have 'flat' backgrounds without having to press F5 each time you open Bodyshop). Here's how one of these looks:

I think that's all!
