RIP Sam Neill ❤️‍🩹

[sarahsscrapbook]

RIP Sam Neill. He was part of my childhood as Alan in Jurassic Park but what I'll always remember him for is this story from Event Horizon:

“All of the crew has a flag on part of their uniform that indicated their origins, but they asked me what the Australian flag would look like in 50 years’ time. “My response was there would be no way that a Union Jack would still be on that flag. That is because I was certain it would be a republic by that time. “Second, it seemed to me that Australians would have sufficient generosity and common sense to replace that Union Jack with an acknowledgement of Indigenous settlement (Always was, always will be) for at least 60,000 years. “Both of these issues led me to be wearing a flag that looks the way it is - and it pleases me that I insisted on that."

Reworked TV Seating Mod

Mediafire | SFS (Hopefully coming soon)

MogHughson's Watch TV from all chairs is pretty much required by everyone at this point, but I always disliked how, if there's no seating available, my sims seemed to always route to stand in front of the tv and block people. There's also Squinge's Sit on floor to watch TV, but it conflicted with MogHughson's mod, and it also makes people sit on the floor on community lots, which didn't make much sense to me. This edit fixes all of that.

With this mod, sims will enjoy the increased viewing angles of Mog's mod, but if there are no more chairs available, they will instead sit on the floor. Only if they somehow can't sit down at all, will they stand. This portion of the mod is the result of me basically combining Mog's and Squinge's mods together. I have added a check that tells the game that if the current lot is a community lot, they shouldn't sit on the floor. No more sitting on the dirty, sticky floor of sports bars 🤢 Note: During testing, a grand total of 1 time, 1 sim sat on the floor of a community lot. I was not able to reproduce it and have no idea why they did it. If this happens to you, please let me know! Thank you very much to MogHughson and Squinge, whose work this mod is based on.

Download: Expressive Social Bunny (Default Replacement)

This mod adds face blends to the social bunny head mesh, to make some facial expressions possible.

Choose one of two options:

FB_DEFAULT_ExpressiveSocialBunny_Dirty

Only replaces the head. Keeps the original social bunny textures.

The missing left eye has no animations (I know that doesn't follow real life logic but I thought it looked better in this specific case).

Compatibility: It might look alright with some texture defaults. Not compatible with mesh defaults.

FB_DEFAULT_ExpressiveSocialBunny_Clean (Pictured above)

Replaces the head and the social bunny textures. Clean textures (with missing eye restored) are by Phaenoh, I included them because I edited a few pixels around the eyes to make the blinking animation look better.

Both eyes are animated.

Compatibility: Not compatible with texture or mesh defaults.

Credits and thanks

Phaenoh for the clean social bunny default replacements

Listen. They’re called “plot bunnies” for a reason, and it’s not just because they hop around all over your brain demanding attention.

In Romanian the verb "a toarce" means both "to purr" and "to spin wool".

[roskapanda]

Same in Finnish, the word is "kehrätä" :)

[nixedsims]

And in Swedish, "spinna" (and I always thought it was just a coincidence, but now...). 👀

[albanycappdefenderts2]

i genuinely get emotional when i think about how beloved the sims 2 is and everyone making content and mods for this game two decades later i love you so much i hope we are all simming forever

Species Update: Capybara!

That's right folks, it's the photos from Operation Babybara are now live.

There are now a few hundred photos of adorable baby capybara on the repository page for the species! But I can't just say they're up and not show you immediately...

For those just tuning in, the trip to photograph the cute potatoes was completely funded by the site's incredibly dedicated - and apparently capybara obsessed - supporters.

See the rest here:

Capybara — Animal Photo Reference Repository

The Animal Photo Reference Repository is an independent, permanently open-access project and funded entirely by donations. Artists creating derivative or transformative works (without AI) have blanket permission to use all photos in the repository as references.

Family Manager - Updated

Family Manager V1.2

Added options to show NPC families

Added detection, reporting and merging of split character files.

[episims]

Great news for everyone who has character files split by mods and is worried about them!

I highly recommend reading William's notes on the topic, too.

[esotheria-sims]

This feature is an absolute game-changer! ⭐️ If you were wondering how I was able to save little Godric from a broken and split character file... this is how.

Family Manager

Family Manager

Family Manager is a utility for changing various aspects of Sims 2 families, such as their address

and the contents of their closet (clothing) - see first image - and their safe (Bon Voyage jewellery).

Features and operational requirements are fully described on the web page.

Kudos to Mootilda for publishing the source code to their Wardrobe Cleaner wizard.

Full credit to Gummi for testing, and also mentioning "what about BV jewellery?".
