Black Woods

Is it black woods in there? Vaguely small town gothic simblr. Mostly TS2. CC coming soon I hope. Eventually, something will be here. Until then... Medsie, 33, she/her

Yet another TS2 lamp fix. Eloquent Touch Wall Lamp and Eloquence Elongated Floor Lamp came with Apartment Life EP, and both have lampshades that do not lit up at all. Slightly oversized sconce is missing a lightpattern, and is also placed too high on the wall.

I’ve edited both meshes. I’ve also changed the colour of emited light to Antebellum candelabra’s soft amber settings.

Polycounts:  1182 & 1594 (was 730 & 1060)

You can choose a fix combined with mesh default, or just a fix.

* Please note that these defaults only affect original colours. If you’d like to fix custom recolour file, here’s a tutorial on that.

Sims 2 and Standby Memory - What actually fixed pink flashing for me

We all know the dreaded pink flashing issue in TS2, so I don’t need to go on about it. Sometimes, it seems that even with all the fixes in place, it still happens, to some people more than others. General instability like random crashes are a related issue.

Well, this is what actually fixed it for me: setting my PC to automatically empty its Standby memory. You can find out how to do it HERE; it’s really not difficult! 

Why is this important? Basically, Windows should be doing this on its own, but it isn’t, so a portion of your memory is kept unused indefinitely on “standby” while your game runs out of resources - result? Pink flashing/crashing.

This fix is not often mentioned in guides, and I resisted doing it for a long time, until the flashing and crashing pushed me to take the plunge. Since then, my game has been remarkably stable - it almost never crashes and I never get pink flashing from regular gameplay, even though I play well-decorated ‘hoods and lots and have quite a lot of CC, some of it high-poly.

❗️ Now, I don’t guarantee that this will fix everyone’s problems for good, and it’s not an invitation to throw all caution to the wind and overload your game with tons of high-poly stuff! It probably also depends on your computer, graphics card and amount/type of CC as well among other things, but if you are plagued by pink flashing and general instability, I recommend giving it a go.

I should mention this is a Windows 10 fix (and possibly Windows 11, idk) and I an Nvidia graphics card. YMMV.

I agree - this completely solved my random crashes on Windows 10 with an Nvidia graphics card, and on the rare occasions that I do get pink flashing, it’s because I have forgotten to make sure that this fix is enabled while I’m playing (my antivirus likes to disable it when I load the game).

I’m going to try it right now! If it works you’ll have my eternal gratitude!

[biduline2011]

It works! Yippeeeeeeee ! Thanks to the little genius who found this! No more pink flashing! Hallelujah!

I have intermittent pink flashing. This is just in case but glad to share with all the Nvidida users (like me).

Keith’s Komics

The perfect place to indulge your inner (or outer) nerd.

Here I’ve recreated a Community Lot from the Sims 3 University Life. It’s a comic book store and little gaming hangout for your nerdy Sims, called Keith’s Komics. It was built on a 5x4 lot with all EPs and Sps installed. 

It uses some CC you can find here:

Comic Book Store Set

University Life Items (Desks, chairs, computers)

Vending Machines, Neon Signs, Misc Uni Stuff

I’ve since added 3t2 fencing, a 3t2 dumpster, new windows/doors, and a bit of deco. I have updated the file and below you can find the download links for those.

Hi! WCIF the hood bushes and flower/grass you used in your hood photos 2 weeks back with the cows? So pretty!

Hey! The grass and flowers are 4t2 conversion by Leoz94. The bushes in the background are by Ousmeo. In case if anyone needs cows, they are from here :D

The school room just gave me such vivid flashbacks to the Nursery in TSW that I actually got a little freaked out, lol.

In search of truth and mystery, the Curious brothers got more than they were "expecting". Can Pascal, Lazlo and Vidcund cope with their role as cosmic parents?
