Hanging Studio Microphone

Download: SFS | BOX

Cloned from Functional Studio Microphone by @episims - contains the same singing animations customised by Epi (they used hand overlays by DeeDee and Sparklesim). Requires Apartment Life EP.

Recolors made with TXMT-recolouring technique, make use of envcube mask feature of @crispsandkerosene 's Extended Standard Material Shader, but it's not required ofc.

Enjoy!

*This is for The Sims 2

Vitiligo Overlay Boxes

× 4t2 conversion, originally by saruin found here & here! × 18 options, 9 light & 9 dark tones × for ages teen & up, all genders

download: separate files | one merged file (choose one!) alternative download: simblr.cc (choose merged or separate)

× more info under the cut!

credits: × converted textures using the tattooer by paluding × packaged using pick'n'mix's dbpf scripter & ocelotekatl's tutorial (& help in discord, thank you so much again!)

known issues: × only works for teen & above. i'd love to have them available for younger sims, but my technical skill isn't there yet :( if i figure out simpe & stuff better, i'll make an update! × edges of the overlay may look darker/lighter than intended on certain skintones, mostly lighter ones. i believe this is how the sims 2 treats opacity on the pixels, but i'm looking into if i can fix this! × some makeup goes under the overlay, & some goes over. i believe this is how the makeup was made.. if there's a way to always make overlay boxes put it on the bottom-most layer, please tell me ;~ ; × some overlay's seams may not be perfect, i converted the textures from ts4 without much editing. masc & fem frames were baked separately, but they all use the same face texture, which may cause seams at the neck.

extra notes: × this is my first attempt at making overlay boxes, i wanted them for personal use but thought maybe someone else would like them! if you have any suggestions, please let me know!

4t2 Syboulette's Sandy Spiky Spot (partial set)

I really wanted some of @syboubou's beautiful Sandy Spiky Spot objects for my game, so you can now have them too.

The brasero combines the functionality of firepits and fireplaces: it burns out like a firepit, and sims can roast marshmallows on it, but lighting it up fulfills the corresponding fireplace want.

The fountain has a custom water animation and textures.

The lantern looks best when combined with the extended material shader by @crispsandkerosene, but it works without as well. It has a custom light pattern.

The sofa is a loveseat.

Downloads (SFS) (alternate)

The files are compressed. The shadow file by @lordcrumps is required and included.

Sims 3t2 Traits - Crafting Failure

As requested by @bellashoggoth

Already had this mod from my previous crafting adventures!

When crafting at the toybench, Sims will sometimes craft "evil" versions of toys if their badge level is low. The water wiggler will spawn weeds and puddles everywhere, the kite will electrocute... etc etc.

This mod edits "Make Evil Craft Obj" BHAV and adds trait checks alongside the badge check.

It also checks a Sim's aspiration level and subtracts a bonus if the Sim's aspiration level is high! (unmodded)

What I did is this: the BHAV rolls a random number from 0 to 200 and if this number is less than the Sim's "score", an evil object is made. Subtracting points from their score decreases odds, increasing points increases odds.

Eccentric -20 points

Unlucky +25 points

Absent Minded +15 points

Evil +35 points

Sim File Share - Filehosting for Simmers

Enjoy!

Requires Easy Inventory Check and those four traits!

I think there’s a mod that would conflict that makes it so grouchy Sims always make evil objects. That would be the only conflict I can imagine.

"Hey, so, why do you think some sims have shorter lifespans?"

Those same sims five minutes later:

Pool tile hider rug

If ever you struggled with how to hide the necessary pool tile for the sea/pond water mod? I have, and so has my friend @ladyvondolladay. She had an idea, and I made it a reality.

I present to you — the terrain rug. A two poly sheet with terrain paint textures that you can slap over your pool tile and hide it completely. Thank you @picknmixsims for sharing the shader info I needed to make the texture actually blend in this perfectly!

There are recolors to match all 30 maxis terrains, swatch folder is included. I chose to only do full strength, as the combinations quickly get out of hand otherwise. If you are interested in making your own recolors to match custom terrains or common blends you use, I'll include an explanation of how I did it under the cut.

You'll find it in deco/rugs, it costs nothing. 2 poly, textures are 256x256.

Download on simfileshare

Credits: Calibrat who helped me with the names of terrains in English for swatch purposes. LadyVonDolladay for the original idea. @pforestsims who suggested the problem with getting texture to match might be shader related.

The textures were made by taking a screenshot of the terrain painted ground from straight above and at a level of zoom where 1 tile in game measured about 256x256 pixels. By matching the mesh size to the image size I grab, the scale of the pattern remains the same. I included a texture reference image to hopefully make it a little easier to understand what I mean.

I haven't tried with floor tile textures, but I think it would work somewhat well for them too though the mesh is just a smidge bigger than exactly 1 tile.

Functional Butterfly (& Firefly) Habitat + Caterpillar Incubator

I fell in love with these 4t2 conversions by @tvickiesims at first sight and just had to make functional versions.

When your sim manages to catch butterflies or fireflies, they can be moved from the jar to this habitat. Insects housed in the habitat will stay alive; if the habitat is outdoors, they will hibernate if the temperature drops below freezing.

Each habitat can house 3 batches of butterflies and 3 batches of fireflies, counted separately. You can make space for new batches by releasing the insects from the habitat.

The caterpillar incubator provides an alternate way to get butterflies. Stocking the incubator costs §18, after which you can watch the caterpillars evolve into adult butterflies over the following days.

Be cautious about leaving adult butterflies in the incubator, as they won't survive there forever. The butterflies can be either moved to a habitat or released into the wild.

If an incubator is outdoors and the temperature drops below freezing, the metamorphosis will stop progressing, unless it's already finished, in which case the adult butterflies will die.

Sims can view occupied incubators and habitats, autonomously too. Cats might find them interesting as well. About everything gives nature enthusiasm, and all interactions are available children up.

🦋 Download (SFS) (alternate)

The files are compressed. Requires Pets and Seasons. The incubator won't work if you don't have the habitat in your downloads as well.

The habitat is a global mod that includes overrides for the bug jar and will conflict with other mods that alter the same resources. I haven't found anything that conflicts but as always, run HCDU to be sure. These can be used alongside Vickie's original conversions.

Many thanks to Vickie for letting me use her gorgeous conversions, and to @gummilutt for the help with testing!

I'm looking for fresh new Sims 2 content to fill up my dashboard!

Reblog if you're currently active as a gameplay/storytelling Simblr. Whether you post daily, or once every few days, I wanna see what you're up to!

Ideally I'd love rotational gameplay, long-term 'hoods, BACCs, uberhoods, etc. I will still absolutely check out your content if you only do legacies or single-family households though.

i'm in my 30s so preferably only people who are 21+. i'm lgbtq-friendly.

Sims 2 only! 💚
