Once upon a Sims

I like playing The Sims 2 and I like sharing the stories that develop in my game. My main is @sugoi-sama and sometimes I use it by accident.

Welcome to Calabruhsas!

Calabruhsas is a favourite of celebrities: with its beaches and nightlife, many famous sims choose to live here. However, where there are celebrities, there's always celebri-tea, and in Calabruhsas nobody is who they seem. Not in a cool, mysterious way, though, more like in a shallow, superficial kind of way.

Calabruhsas is a neighbourhood I've been working on for so long now, and I'm so happy to announce that it's finally in a state where I can upload it for you guys!

Calabruhsas' concept was partly inspired by Steph0sims on youtube, and partly by a ModTheSims forum post of someone "rescuing" Vanessa Jeong from TS4 Get Famous into TS2. It has famous faces from the sims, some recognizable faces from tea channels, and some "nobodies" you might grow to like. I made a lot of references to a lot of niche culture throughout, which I'm interested to see if people find (hint: me being Hungarian has a lot to do with them).

Some statistics about Calabruhsas:

6 households, 21 playable sims

8 townies (with connections to playables)

No NPCs

14 community lots

11 residential lots (3 starter homes, 3 cheap houses, 3 beach houses, 2 expensive houes)

2 apartment lots (4 cheap, 3 expensive)

Calabruhsas Includes CC. I tried to make it with as little CC as possible (and there is no buy mode CC), but some body shop CC turned out to be necessary to achieve the vision I had. They are included in the download, and are as follows:

Sister James' dress by CelestialSpider

Sister James' veil (my edit) by Cynnix and Almighty Hat (I can't find the exact post I found this accessory, but they are the people named in the file. I edited it to appear for males too.

Sister James' white vampire dress (recolour by me) mesh by Nialong (linked the repository project)

The nuns' dress by Cynnix

Jeffree's tracksuit, formal outfit and bathrobe recoloured by me

Dudley's hair by Artemida

Nyikita's hair by Rocket Horse

If you decide to play, please use the tag #calabruhsas-hood so that I can also see, it brings me so much joy to see what others do with premade sims.

I hope you guys will enjoy it!

More Social Interactions Mod - Sims 2

Playing Sims 2 made me realize how limited social interactions were compared to other Sims titles. So after some tutorials, I made my very first mod: More Social Interactions!

Here are the list of interactions. Some are triggered by relationship dynamics so you won't see them all at once. There are no new animations, just more options for storytelling purposes.

Beg For Forgiveness

Compliment Outfit

Compliment Personality

Small Talk

Ask About Day

Deep Conversation

Good Night Kiss

Ask What Their Problem Is

Compliment Appearance

Talk About Music

Say "I Love You"

Hold Close

Argue About Parenting

Criticize WooHoo

Compliment Hair

Give Reassurance

Talk About Past

Argue About Money

Friendly "Say I Love You"

Talk About Weather

Big shoutout to picknmixsims, echo on MTS, and The Sims 2 Guru on YouTube for all of the help on pointing me in the right direction.

I don't *think* this should conflict with anything, I have almost 10 gigs of CC and mods and haven't run into any issues. I also don't have any coding/modding experience so, idk how much I can help if something goes wrong.

I may add more interactions in the future!

Welcome to Cove Apartments

I am slowly working on creating my custom city hood. This is one of the apartments that I have built. It has simple starter one bedroom apartments and a common laundry room. I couldn't wait to create the whole city to play in this lot so I am starting a new simple rotation that only includes the residents (creating the hood sometimes overwhelming as it is).

Also I am not sure about the asphalt floor so open to guidance. I didn't want to deal with landscaping but also couldn't figure out what to add

🎲 The Sims 2: Ultimate Randomizer

B-day and, suddenly, 50 followers gift 🥰

If you could share this with the community for more feedback - I would be very grateful, sending everyone spooky hugs~

Try it

What's this: an online tool, which helps to randomize some common things in TS2 (works on mobile devices, yay, but you have to start it from horizontal screen orientation).

Why: You probably know how much stuff in the community rely on random number generators: townies creation, random events, in-game teen aging, etc.

I'm aware that there are a handful of similar tools online. Initially I made this for myself, since I wanted everything to be in the same place. For a long-long time this was just a text on white background.

But recently I decided I want to start to contribute to the sims community, which I was silently "stalking" for years (for decade?). I booked a weekend to make an interface, it's ugly thought, since my UI skills are negative :D But at least it's functioning, so...

Use cases

Randomize CAS sims personality, genetics, chemistry (known issue: sometimes you might receive a sim with 10+ nice points, on my list to fix, but treat it as a sign to create super sweet bun for your hood)

Randomize sliders clicks to create sims in Bodyshop, based on this tutorial by Pooklet (generates randomized clicks in one list, you can adjust amount of face templates and sliders according to how many you have, up to 35 each)

First 250 out of 500 random events, based on this list by @lavender-noire (really appreciate I got permission to use it <3). And I kinda like how it turned out ^^'

Last, but not the least...

It started as personal project, but I'm happy to listen to community's suggestion what else could be added there!

I am considering pets rnd, specific legacy related rnd, adding adequate randomizer for townies skills and badges. Background music? Dark mode UI? Sometimes random events require additional 1dN randomization, so i might add this as well.

TS4 Enchanted By Nature Leaf Outfit - a collab with Massika

@megamassikalove converted TS4 EP19 Leaf Kilt and TS4 EP 19 Crop for male adults as top, bottom and fullbody outfit. She kindly let me convert them to other ages and share the entire thing. :)

Teen and elder recolors are texture-referenced to their adult counterparts, so you need to keep adult recolors.

All adult meshes come with all morphs, all elder meshes have got only fat morph. Teen fullbody outfit has got both morphs and teen separates have got only fat morph.

All outfits are set as everyday, formal and athletic. All adult outfits and teen fullbody outfit are additionally set as maternity.

Bottoms come in all 12 original TS4 recolors, tops come in all original 15 recolors and fullbody outfits come in 8 recolors that made me feel that top and bottom are supposed to go together (green brown [by Massika], black, dark green purple, med green, pastel beige, pastel green, pastel pink beige and white).

There's also a psd file by Massika if you feel like making recolors.

Once again, big thank you to Massika! ❤️

TIL: ACR 2.0 was totally super broken.

So, after a rousing discussion on my Discord about ACR, Romantic Standards, various mods, conflicts, you name it, we discovered that ACR's jealousy was completely and utterly broken. Romantic Standards in, or out. Just like, broken 😂

Don't believe me? Check out this otherwise vanilla folder test, in which using the "casual" interactions menu, Don Lothario can waltz up to Nina Caliente and kiss, hit on, goose, whatever he likes in front of his fiance Cassandra Goth and she does not care AT ALL, until I accidentally click the vanilla Maxis "make out" interaction at the end and she finally gets mad:

This was Cassandra's jealousy setting for this test:

So, erm, that's not great 😂 Should probably fix that hey...

(Today I also learned that I can't upload more than 1 video per post lol, but I did film a second video using the same "casual.../romantic kiss" interaction which this time resulted in immediate jealousy).

So. Yeah.

Basically, there were 2 "casual / kiss" interactions that actually worked and triggered jealousy where appropriate, which were Casual / Kiss / Suck Face and Casual / Kiss / Dance Kiss.

The rest, ZERO response. All flirts, hugs and other kisses, broken.

So, I worked out what the differences were, and I fixed them.

Here you go:

Download

** IMPORTANT: THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE ACR REPLACEMENT**

I have only included the socials that needed to be fixed. You still need the original ACR Controller Main files from either here or SimGiggleGirl's Romantic Standards compatible version here. But if you already have ACR, you will want to replace all of the socials with these versions.

And if anyone is curious, yes this totally works as intended alongside Midge's version of Romantic Standards. This mod is heavy and you've gotta read through the documentation, but here's a screenshot of my Romantic Standards files that work perfectly with ACR:

Thank you to @meltingmagnetz for opening my eyes to the issue, and to @guessimate and @katatty for contributing to the discussion and helping with testing.

*Edit: oh yeah, I forgot to say, part of the fix involved removing a weird BHAV that checked for "Game Engine Version" so, if you're not playing with Ultimate Collection or similar (full packs), I can't 100% guarantee this will work for you.

But if you're not playing with Ultimate Collection (or similar), it's 2026 babe. Talk to me on Discord, we'll get you sorted 😂💗

4t2 EP19 Mother Earth

Finally finished this up after checks notes several months... sorry I've been inconsistent with conversions, there's just a lot going on.

Anyway, the Mother Earth dress converted from Enchanted by Nature, and since EA included a male specific mesh I converted it for men too. A child mesh is included in the mesh file but I didn't do recolors for it because I was a bit burnt out, so if anyone wants to take a stab at it the files are there.

TU-EU, categorized as everyday, formal, gym, outerwear, all morphs, comes in the 11 EA colors. Download Simblr.CC

[moglikes]

download (AF)* *I know there is a TF version but the wizard didn't cooperate and I don't have the mental space to learn how to do this manually right now, sorry.
