Cyclonesue’s cubicle door repositoried

This is a new take on an old project. I love Cyclonesue’s cubicle door (TSR) and it is a staple of my community lots. But it deserved some “cleaner” and more versatile recolors, and I wasn’t very satisfied with the ones I made a couple of years ago.

Since then I’ve learned the repository technique, so I edited Cyclonesue’s mesh to pull the basegame value door textures, and made the original textures into recolors for the value door. I went on and made some new recolors too, because I specifically wanted vertical panels in bright colors…

Outdoor Gym set | Fitness trail and exercise bike Popping in for another long-due upload! This is a mini set of outdoor gym equipment, including a fitness trail cloned from the obstacle course career reward, and an exercise bike. Both use the AL monkey bar textures, and I made 4 custom recolors. More details and download at MTS or SFS (personal rambling under the cut)

I'm still trying to keep up with the community and lurking around here but it's been more difficult to play and make progress on my projects lately, juggling between work, my computer showing signs of age, and personal life in general being pretty rough lately... I'm planning to switch to Linux on my laptop in hopes of (among other reasons) prolonging its life by a few more years but I'm stuck on installation problems. And in the longer run I need to prepare to buy a new computer anyway, pretty daunting task tbh. Anyway, I have other stuff in the works that I hope to share before the end of the year at least!

Sims 2 Café Mod 2.0 - Important Updates!

Hey everyone!

I've been getting a lot of asks about my Café Mod recently, things about mod compatibility mostly, which has been fun! Always great to revisit this mod. As a result I have made some important and helpful changes and updates to the mod 😊 Info under the cut!

Firstly, I think I figured out why foods would sometimes randomly go "off" and get spoiled while in the display cases when you load into a lot, even though they weren't supposed to! So I've updated the TA_CafeMod_Main file with some important updates there. Make sure you download the latest version and replace that file!

Secondly, I have some new compatibility patches for you all, mostly around this BHAV: Interaction - Eat - Grab a Plate (0x201C)

Turns out there are great many mods that edit this BHAV 😆 Including but not limited to:

Simler90's Food Serve Eat Mod

Cyjon's Smarter Food Serving Mod

MidgeTheTree's Cake Stand

PlatinumAspirations 4t2 Cake Stand as part of their Businesses & Hobbies conversions (well, it was supposed to be editing that BHAV but it wasn't lol, never mind...)

So, in this confusing world, I have some important comp patches:

If you want to use either Midge's Cake Stand, PlatinumAspiration's Cake Stand, OR both, please make sure you have the file called Z_TA_CompPatch_CafeMod_CakeStands

You'll also want to have my TA_CafeMod_Main file loading AFTER the original cake stand files. This is important for that "Interaction - Eat - Grab a Plate" BHAV.

I know that load order can be really confusing, so make sure that you check with HCDU+ which mods are loading in which order!

It should be 1. Midge's Cake Stand and/or PlatAsp's Cake Stand 2. TA_CafeMod_Main 3. TA_CompPatch_CafeMod_CakeStands

Then 4. Z_Z_TA_CafeModMain_CJSmarterFoodServings if you want Simler90's / Cyjon's fixes to Interaction - Eat - Grab a Plate (I recommend!)

I hope that's clear! We love Cafe's so all this confusion and pain is totally worth it, right? Right 😂

Thanks all,

Love, Tea xo

Here's one way of using bigger selection dialog

[deedee-sims]

@lucilla-sims 4t2 SP56 CK001 Fuzzy Sweater and Pants for CU (requested by anon)

Nice PJs for the kiddos! They're separates, so you can mix and match however. They have fatmorph, come in the original 12-12 colors (swatches are stolen), and you can choose if you want them repo'd to the AM files (that you can find here), or not :)

Bigger Selection Dialog Window

This is a UI mod that makes selection dialog wider and higher and fit more items. You see this window when you buy magazines or video games on unowned community lots, or set up bed decorations with my Unmade Bed mod, or use other modded objects that may have been released or are going to be released soon 😏

Download

Special thanks to @lordcrumps for making maxis and clean ui pics and counting pixels with me. It was his and @simnopke's idea to make this thing bigger

Some behind the scenes under the cut

Stage 1, breaking out of the tiny window

Stage 2, figuring out how to mod UI again

Stage 3, going big! But not quite there yet

Stage 4, "should I move it 1 more pixel to the left"

🤓

Secret bonus version for behind the scenes viewers who think that smaller is better, available exclusively and only in starship colors (you can only have one version)

Download 4x4

[lamare-sims]

⚡ Update: bigger selection dialog image doesn't affect grocery dialog anymore

🙊 Sorry! My bad, did not expect the dialogs to share the same image. Will make sure to check for that next time I mod the UI 🙈

Updated all files including the secret 4x4 version. Please redownload 🙏

I SEARCHED ALL OVER DO ANYONE HAVE THESE??? PLEASE

I have (almost) everything from Tee-Sims reuploaded here!

[kitteninthewindow]

Huge shout out to @paluding for collaborating with me on this and who honestly did most of the work as far as I'm concerned.

Download // Simblr Alt

This is a default replacement mesh for kitten and puppy faces that allows heterochromia. This was done by separating the left and right eyes onto different groups and subsets so they can be colored independently. They have morphs, so these cuties will properly emote! This is possible thanks to @crispsandkerosene's blender plugin, make sure to grab it if you're interested in meshing for pets!

Pet heterochromia is NOT hereditary, and in fact only a pet's right eye color can be passed down. Heterochromia is a purposeful decision that you have to apply manually. Do this by opening a pet's AgeData inside their CharacterData.package, then find and change the eyecolor and/or alteyecolor lines to the desired colors. If you need better instructions, I go more in depth in my Pet Genetics How-To here.

Last but not least, consider grabbing my Kitten & Puppy Eye Fix! Maxis didn't enable eye colors for all ages, so without my fix only custom eye colors will actually display with heterochromia.

[equinoxts2]

Amazing work by @kitteninthewindow and @paluding - another must grab CC for me! I also recommend that any coders interested in TS2 pet genetics check out the How-To that KITW linked. I'll be trying it myself later, adding @angelapleasant cat whiskers to custom breeds I downloaded before they were released... :)

The Sims 2's buyable Urbz game that was originally an official download on TheSims2.com has some interesting footage. My notes:

• Animated Urbz logo intro

• The Create an Urb screen resembles the one from the beta trailer, with the Urb in the background wearing the same beta Urb / Kiki Blunt outfit except with Venus Moonflower's hairstyle - And she's actually still in the retail game, she's hiding out of bounds on the screen that's used when you change clothes at a wardrobe instead of a district shop

• The district gameplay footage that follows appears directly related to the Create an Urb footage, since it features Jayde with Scary Mary's hair - Like they actually recorded both parts together rather than splicing random clips

• An earlier design for the Needs & Rep UI, with different icons for the Mood indicator

• Earlier design for the action queue (I think that's what that blue-ish square in the lower right is supposed to be lol)

—

Also I can't figure out how to extract these video files directly. All other TV show, movie, and game videos are saved as .MOVIE files in the Program Files folder, but I can only assume that all of The Urbz video files & their configuration is contained within that downloadable package file. If they are in there though I'm not sure they're accessible via SimPE, because I sifted through all the components and there wasn't even anything specifically pointing to the video files to tell me where they were, let alone the video files themselves. Maybe I'm just missing something since I'm not super proficient at SimPE though 🤷‍♀️

My contribution to the GOS July/August themes - Animal Kingdom & How Low Can You Go

Trayless Orb Cat Toy - repositoried to the OFB Tray O' Orbs sculpture because if you leave orbs sitting around the cat is going to steal one to play with. It's cloned from ATS' cat ball and works like the catnip mouse. It should pick up any recolors you have for the orb subset, poly count is 224

tdyannd's Pampered Pets Litter Box repositoried to the BG Cinderbooks bookshelf, it should pick up any recolors you have for the shelf subset. This is a clone with a new guid, it wont conflict with the original. Poly count is 138

6 Recolors for the FT Formidable Formicarium - I always forget the ant farm exists, maybe having more color options will remind me to use it. Here's some fun 2-tone colors
