Parsimonious Back-Up Part 2 - CAS and Lots
I managed to finish the rest of the Sims 2 Backup of the Parsimonious website. You can find the first part here.
This part was a lot of work and I got kinda burned out. That's why it isn't made as neatly as the other parts.
I tried to rename the previews but it were just to many previews that needed to be renamed to match their packages and I just wanted to be finished after a while.
The packages are sorted in folder named after the mesh or in case of recolors of maxis clothing the expansion pack. I can't promise that I sorted all maxis recolors into the right folder, the previews were sometimes mislabeled and while I catched some labeling errors, I don't know how many slipped through.
While I included the meshes in the Clothes-Backup too, I also made a separate zip of all her meshes for easier downloading. Also included are the UV-map "outfits" she made for each one and the preview pictures.
Make up, accessories, eyes, eye brows
The Accessories are sorted in folders named after their meshes. One screenshot per folder shows the ages the accessory is available for.
The make up is organized after its type, I didn't screenshot the age parts for it but in general Kates stuff is all ages while the other creator made binned them mostly child or teen to elder.
The brows are all painted on and need no mesh. The eyes are neither geneticized nor towniefied.
I didn't renamed anything this time as the folders are small enough to find the files.
Another little warning: The files are rather old and the naming sometimes uses words that were more acceptable then but isn't acceptable nowadays. Some outfits are also quite stereotypical.
For each lot I included the main preview and a screenshot of the featured information. The lots are sorted after community, residential and special lots like hotels. Some special lots might be in the residential folder. I found some community lots that were accidentally(?) put into the "home" categories and I wasn't sure if some of the other lots were real special lots or just lots that look like hotels or dorms.
This should be almost all Sims 2 CC that were featured on the Parsimonious Site in 2025. At least one zip for clothing was falsely labeled and contained the duplicate of another outfit instead, there were two things I couldn't even download and multiple lots whose zip was corrupted and couldn't be opened. I uploaded a txt.file inside the backup folder for those.
I'm also quite sure that some files were deleted by the owners before I started.
In the end I can't promise that I really downloaded everything that was there.
Disclaimer: I didn't make this CC. I just backed this up to keep it available for everyone. I will take it down if the creators ask me too.
