Hi Simmers

I'm pretty new here when it comes to conversion and stuff but I’ve been playing since the beginning LOL.

I usually play in historical times, but there just isn’t enough CC for historical gameplay out there, there is never enough CC and mods by the way 😊. That's why I was thinking, why don't I just try it myself? Then I thought, I've already converted a number of things but maybe other people want this too. Lets share.

So I wanna help the sims 2 community by converting historical stuff from sims 4 to sims 2. Sims 4 got some amazing historical CC out there and talented sims 4 creators.

As you propably see, English is not my native language. I speak normally Dutch so, sorry for all the spelling mistakes😁. I'm also trying to figure out how this Tumblr works LOL. All new to me.

But where was I, oh yes. So if you like historical gameplay too, you're on the right tumblr 😉

I’m working on an Mod the sims page too. I'll post that link in the future. My page

If you like some of my conversions and you wanna recolor or change something about the mesh. Sure why not. If you can lower the Poly’s, please do. Let me know, so I can change my mesh with your lower one.

Actually, you can do anything with my stuff. I'm pretty quickly content. Just mentioning my name is good and the original creators too.

I'm still fairly new to this area, but if you have any questions or problems with my stuff just ask, I'll try to solve it if I can😜

Greetings LynCSims

Exciting

I couldn't resist any longer. I bought Paralives. It is still downloading

Recolors of 2 Stairs

I have something completely different for you today.

Recolors of the Indestructible Concrete Modular stairs and deck stairs.

Download at the bottom

To create the recolors for the Indestructible Concrete Modular stairs, I used the recolorable file by HugeLunatic.

You can find the original here.

To create the recolors for the Desk stairs, I used the recolorable file by Numenor.

You can find the original here.

I used the wood colors from Sims 4 here, and for the floral and diamond motifs, I used the Step by Step colors from Syboulette.

You can find the original here.

All credits go to Syboulette for the colols and HugeLunatic and Numenor for the recolorable files.

Included with the download, you will also find matching flooring options, for example, to have your terraces in the same shades as the stairs.

As always, the download also includes photos with the color chart. This way, you can easily select for yourself what you do or might not want in your game.

As always. Have fun with Simming.

2 Age convertions

Hey simmers. I have converted 2 of my favorite outfits for AM to TM. I haven't found a TM version of this yet, so I assume this hasn't happened yet, hopefully.

The first is the top converted by Kurimas 4t2 Zip up hoodie KK. There are 15 colors for this hoodie, now also for the TeenBoys. I have also added Fat and Preg Morphs. You can find the original from Kurimas here.

The second is the outerwear outfit converted by Piper 4t2 Long Turtleneck Coat. I have 12 colors and also added the Fat and Preg Morphs for TeenMale. You can find the original from Piper here.

All credits go to Piper and Kurimas

Sims 2 Object Limit Fix

Soooo... I didn't intend for two highly requested fixes for The Sims 2 to drop within the space of a week and a half, buuuut...

Here's where you can download an experimental patch to fix the so-called 'object limit'!

https://github.com/spockthewok/TS2ObjectLimitFix

(Ultimate Collection only at the moment, I'm afraid).

The good news is:

Both @lordcrumps and @teaaddictyt have tested it with stupidly large CC folders and report that it works.

There isn't a dissertation the length of Tolstoy's 'War and Peace' you need to read through to understand wtf is going on.

The crashing wasn't caused by some hardcoded object limit at all! (That I know of).

An explanation of the issue for programmers:

And for everyone else:

The code for the Build/Buy menu was missing basic checks to confirm that the data it was trying to do things with was actually valid. No, I'm not joking.

Basically, it appears that all of the objects you can buy in the game are stored in something you can think of as being like a big, long list, which grows in size with the more custom objects you have.

The only purpose of the code that this plugin patches is to sort the items in the list into some kind of order. This is done by assessing if the value of the previous item in the list is larger than that of the item currently being looked at, and swapping their position if this is true (also known as an insertion sort).

In short, the game wasn't asserting that the data it was about to compare for sorting was valid before accessing it, and then promptly blowing up when it tried to do so and discovered it wasn't.

I imagine that the odds of the game making an oopsie and dumping some funky data into the list increases with the number of objects it is having to process - this might be why this issue only presents itself to those using multiple GB of Build/Buy CC. It was much easier to patch the code encountering the bad data within the list than to try and hunt down the mysterious culprit putting the data in there to begin with, so this is all the information I have at the moment unfortunately.

Either way, one of the first things you're taught when learning to code is to ALWAYS check that the data you're operating on has been initialised (i.e. it holds some kind of value). I guess someone at Maxis must have skipped that lecture :D

Is the 255 objects per subcategory limit theory true?

The Downloads folder I was using for testing had ~672 objects in the Deco/Misc subcategory (Maxis objects included). With the patch, I can freely navigate throughout the entire subcategory with zero crashes, so I guess not?

What about the whole OBJD limit thing?

People have varying beliefs of what the limit on OBJDs might be, but HCDU reports my Downloads folder had an OBJD count of 20,787. Again, without the patch the game would crash when switching categories in the Build/Buy catalogue, with the patch, no crashing.

If you want to hear my opinion on whether such a limit exists, watch this video.

Do I even need this patch if I don't use much CC?

As it adds some fairly important crash-prevention checks to part of the Build/Buy menu's functionality, I'd probably recommend using it anyway, just to be safe - we all know how much this game loves to crash!

Aaaah! I'm still getting crashes with the patch!

I'm aware that a few of you CC addicts out there have Downloads folders larger than the total size of everything ever uploaded to the internet, so if you still experience crashing in Build/Buy mode with this patch, please take a look at the mod's GitHub page and send me over the information requested there. Fingers crossed that shouldn't happen, but if it does, I'll try my best to investigate :)

Anyway...

Will

(I wish I had looked at this for my dissertation, as it was literally only a day's work).

This is a default replacement for all the conversation icons: the basegame interests, the Freetime hobbies, the "tell story about" interaction that came in Apartment Life, and the pet interests that will sometimes turn up in a pet's dreams or thought bubbles. That extends to the UI elements, where the sim's level of interest in a subject or enthusiasm for a hobby is displayed.

I made this for my Test of Time challenge, because every speech replacement I could find was way too modern for my Stone Age hunter-gatherers.

My sample shots were taken against both Eddysims' high-res speech bubbles and Simborg's TSM speech bubbles, so you can see how they look against both. This was absolutely a deliberate choice and not just that I decided to switch my default in the middle but didn't want to scrap the screencaps.

As you can see above in the crabby toddler shot, I also default-replaced the motives, because I was tired of seeing the same "TOILET!" or "BED!" thought bubbles in the stone age as I'd seen in Pleasantview. A sim who's too hot will think about wanting a cool breeze, not an iced beverage; a sim who's on the verge of bladder failure (or wetting their diaper) will think about relieving themselves in a shrub; a sim in hygiene desperation will think about washing off in a waterfall, because of Marvine's waterfall shower. (If you see the manure pile, they want the place cleaned up.) This is a separate folder from the speech defaults, so you can choose if you want that or not.

This isn't perfect - some icons have some compression/color bleeding that I can't seem to get rid of, and the fuzziness of the era and setting (I don't call it the "Neanderthal" era but that is the official name) means that there are some anachronisms and inconsistencies baked in - the next stage is the Roman Empire, so any New World vegetation or animals shouldn't be there, but they're in a tropical setting, but if there are strays in the neighborhood they have domesticated cats and dogs, which Neanderthals wouldn't... My seven-year-old daughter, in fact, pointed this out and refused to let me have domestic cats and dogs in the children's speech pool. Kids talk about wolves and leopards instead:

The other samples of basegame interest discussion:

In my game, I have Almighty Hat's alien abduction mod, and Plantsims, so the discussion of elves and dryads fits right in. Instead of school or work, sims will discuss important survival skills and cultural knowledge: hunting, fishing, weaving, making tools and preserving food. And so on. It may not suit everyone's game perfectly, but it's better for mine than anything else I could find.

Credit and acknowledgments: The icons used here came from a variety of artists via Freepik and Flaticon. The Puppet Characters collection, Max.Icons, Monkik, and Eucalyp all got heavy use. I also got some from UltimateArm, though I'm having a hard time finding a link to their page specifically.

Without Sims in Low Space, this default wouldn't exist - it was from her novel default that I got the idea to use Flaticon as a source. I also referred heavily to other speech defaults, including Keoni's modern one, and the medieval replacements by ClstlDrmr83 and rugrat0ne.

And if you read all this, you may not want to scroll back up, so here are the download links again:

Download at SFS or Box.

Everything is compressorized and clearly labeled so you can delete any parts you don't want. Let me know if you use this, or if you run into any problems!

4T2 Celypsdra AegeanSet 2.0

Hey my fellow Simmers.

I converted the Celypsdra AegeanSet 2.0 set to Sims 2 at the request of Anon. Download the set below

The dress is for ages AF and TF. There are 15 colors and the polycount is 7626.

The Tunic is for ages AM, TM, and CU. 17 colors and the polycount is different for CU and AM/TM because the AM and TM have the NuAM bodysuit with sexy feet. The polycount for CU is 3825 and for AM is 8475. Morphs are included

The set also contains 2 hair sets, namely AriadneHair and PhaedraHair. They are both for AF, TF, and CF. 9 colors, of which the 4 main colors are in 1 file and the 5 extra colors are separate. Morphs are included

The polycount for Ariadne is 19,876 and for Phaedra 12,595.

Finally, the set also includes an Aegean Headband. You can find this under Jewels. There are 12 colors and it is suitable for all ages. The details of the leaves do cost a lot. Polycount: 16,463

The download includes all the photos as well as the color charts. This makes it easier to select which colors you would rather not have in your game.

You can find the original here.

You can download the complete set here.

If you encounter any problems, please feel free to let us know.

And as always, have fun playing your historical gameplay.

Wip Celypsdra Aegean Set 2.0

I'm working on the complete Aegean Set 2.0 from Celypsdra, requested by anon.

The first dress is finished with Morphs for AF and TF.

Now just the AM tunic, and 2 hairs.

See you soon

[lyncsims]

I love your clothing conversion, especially the one for kids! Are you playing Test of Time? Just wondering - would you be interested in converting Clepysdra's Aegean Set, Minoan Pilgrim Dress, Crocus Gatherer Fit, Ziggurat Layered Robe.. or any other of their items of clothing [Bronze Age etc.]? If not, I totally understand and sorry for asking. Thank you for what you have already done! Happy to find another historical CC creator

I did indeed do the Test of Time Challenge. I’ve never played a neighborhood for that long. Something went wrong somewhere, at the end of the Roman era; my game kept crashing. 😢

But it is true that you find very little CC for the period before the Middle Ages. I didn't know anything about Clepysdra's Historical CC, and an open TOU, so that is fantastic. 😉Just send me the links for whichever set you’d like to convert, and I’ll get started on it when I have time.

Regards, LynCSims

My first clothing conversions

I am finally releasing them, my first 4t2 clothing conversions.

For the men, I used the NuAM body shape from Synapticsim and the Morphs from Julietoon-TS2. This is my favorite body shape for men, and (unfortunately) you find so few clothes for it. I think this body shape looks much more natural than the bodybuilder shapes, but everyone has their own taste, of course. So a huge thank you to Synapticsims for this body shape and Julietoon for the morphs and the clothes you have already released for this body shape.

My first clothes are Prehistoric and Barbarian clothes.

4t2 Naunakht StoneAge Child's Robe is a dress with added morphs and available in 9 colors.

You can find the original by Naunakht here.

Download here.

4t2 Naunakht StoneAge Dress is a dress for AF and TF. All Morphs have been added, including a pregnancy morph for the Teen. (for the Inteen mod) There are 10 colors.

You can find the original by Naunakht here.

Download AdultFemale here and TeenFemale here.

4t2 SATSU FurOutfit is a complete body outfit for AF with morphs. There are 6 colors of this outfit. I haven't converted this to TF yet. Who knows, maybe in the future.

You can find the original by SATSU here.

Download here

4t2 Sychik murielFurSkirt is also a complete body outfit for AM, TM, AF, and TF. The Morphs are present in all of them. The AF Teen also has a pregnancy morph. The AM and TM have the NuAM body shape.

You can find the original by Sychik here.

Download AdultFemale here, TeenFemale here, AdultMale here, TeenMale here

And finally, we have TMbody NativeCasualFive by Castaway. I felt that the adult males deserved this too, so I converted them to AM and also with the NuAM body shape, for AM and TM.

In the photoshoot, you can see that the ring around the foot is not in the right place. I have fixed this. This should be fine.

You can find the download for AdultMale here and TeenMale here.

You can find the links for the NuAM body shapes here from synapticsim and here from julietoon-ts2.

All credits go to: Synapticsim and julietoon-ts2 for the NuAM shapes. Naunakht, SATSU, and Sychik for the beautiful historical clothes. My Sims look twice as beautiful thanks to you guys.

And as always, should you encounter any problems, please keep me updated. That way, I can still adjust the mesh if necessary.

Please don't be too strict; these are my first clothes conversions. But I wish you all lots of fun simming.

We're moving on to the next level 😜

Hey everyone. It's been a while, I know.

But I'm teaching myself how to convert clothes and adjust clothing meshes. Adding the necessary Morphs and stuff.

If I'm happy with the end result, I'll share it. For now, it's just historical clothing.

Hopefully see you soon with more downloads.

In the meantime, happy Simming.

recolours of all meadhall set items in 4t2 wood textures

look, being a 4t2 medieval player can be hard sometimes 😅

but hey, i managed to successfully get a 4t2 wood texture onto the huuuuge nine archers mead hall + add-on sets (this is just a handful of the many many many items they include) 🥲

thank goodness the textures were all repositoried to just two meshes only lol (a table and the bar). still, it took me like the whole of sunday to do this cos of all the chopping up, 'dirtying', blending etc of the textures 🫣

the only thing i didn't change though is the intricate dragon/snake(?) pattern that you see throughout various items in the set (like on the door, the headboard, the column, shelving, chamber pot and pantry seen above). mainly because its the heart of the set (iconic, actually), i would have no idea what to replace it with, and i also still think it works well with the 4t2 texture?? i could maybe also do a version without it though if someone wanted it.

there are 6 wood swatches in total, and i also included a replacement of the riverstones table mesh so the board matches in better with this style. i'm pretty sure the wood texture i used for everything came from island living(?).

you can download the recolours here.

links for original meshes and all the add on sets are below (seriously, you could just have these four sets in your medieval game and you'll have nearly everything you need lol):

9am (nine archers meadhall redeemed) (contains the required meshes for these recolours)

a friend in mead (contains the riverstones table, but let my version overwrite it)

Some requested clay recolors for today (requests by anons)

They're all just recolors.

6 natural colors, gray linked to black. Meshes and bodyshop swatches are included, enjoy! :)

Coming soon! New Hairs.

Hey fellow Simmers! I'm busy converting the next batch of JohnnySims hairs for the sims 2. I've already done three and tested them in my game. Now I have five more to go.

Coming soon!
