I like to play and make stuff for the Sims 2. TOU: do whatchu want. If you think you can do something better than me, you’re probably right and I love to see it! :) Currently playing on Linux. WCIF friendly!
Let's give visibility to the creators who are putting in the effort.
Recently, the boy @rodrifelix99 launched an amazing launcher where creators can upload their mods.
Link: https://thesimsmodmanager.web.app/
It’s compatible with Windows, Mac, and Linux. I ask you all to share and repost this—the work is incredible, and it supports every platform. The launcher looks great, and you can upload your own mods, which serves as a showcase for your Tumblr pages. I’m truly grateful and wish Rodri all the success in the world for creating such an amazing platform for us The Sims creators.
The Ultimate Sims 2 Rotation Tracker (of doom!!) v0.9.4
Hey o/ !!
I've been secretly working on this spreadsheet for like 2 years now and I'm nearly ready to put out the 1.0 release... I could do with some help testing!
Basically I'm really extra and poured way too much time into making the BEST rotation tracker spreadsheet to ever exist.
You can randomly select the next household to play in the current rotation, or pick from a list of your unplayed households.
You can see your hood statistics & how it's changing across the rotations.
There's explanations & a way to import your existing hood data from SimsPE, or add preset hoods if you're starting fresh
(I actually spent my weekend manually inputting all the hair & eye colours for every premade sim lmao ;u;)
Oh yeah and I have a whole-ass Settings page with way more fun stuff I should probably make dedicated posts about. (Like the Gender Identity system -- your sims can discover that they are trans or nonbinary over time as they live their lives)
But yeah I should probably shut up now! If you're interested the link is HERE. Please send me a message if you find bugs!

NOTE: you'll get some warnings about me being an unverified developer when you first run the scripts, uuughh google. You can hit accept anyway.
(AFAIK I don't have a way around it showing you that warning unless I hand them my credit card info & all my data & make my own website?? Uuugh I don't want to, google.)

I'm new to tumblr (been putting it off) so excuse any dumb mistakes...

Very tempted to use another PTO day tomorrow. I’ve barely taken time off all summer (which I realized last week and decided I was taking a 5 day weekend lol) and it’s hot and smoky.
I’ve been so into playing lately though it’s nice to have the spark back! I’ll have to check my calendar and see what I’ve got to work on. Summer is almost over and I still haven’t built anything in R yet which I was hoping to do but all my time has been consumed by my last project. Which I have to pivot back to shortly.
Rowena isn't into the whole farmhouse aesthetic, so she painted the cabinets black like her old place, and installed new flooring and paint. The heavy green appliances were replaced with white and chrome.
LivingDeadGirl (T$R) Mission Bay Glass Cabinetry overhaul under the cut!
When we found out the object limit was real, I made it my mission to reduce OBJD wherever I could. I had already wondered why these weren't repositoried, so I decided I'd both repo AND reduce the OBJD.
It turns out, reducing the OBJD for decorative surfaces like coffee tables, shelves, etc., is pretty easy. But in this case, the cabinets used cloned dining tables for some reason. So instead of just reducing the OBJD, I instead cloned a single tile coffee table and extended the footprint. SO. Each cabinet has 1 OBJD.
On top of that, I re-mapped each cabinet so that I could repository to one single master mesh. Each one was so similar but just not quite laid out the same, so this was a little more painstaking to do.
I also added a recolorable subset for hardware; I decided I'd prefer to recolor the hardware independent of the cabinet itself. So there is now another subset, and a few hardware recolors to start you off.
I also decided to use LordCrumps' shadow file, just to keep the file size as small as possible. Get that here if you don't have it but I'm assuming by now most of us do have it.
And finally, I fixed the bounding mesh. Previously, once you placed deco objects, you couldn't pick them up again without getting rid of the whole cabinet.
Okay I also tweaked the glass TXMT because I wanted to make it more transparent and shiny.
What you get:
>The main mesh as well as 5 repositoried meshes
>The original recolors as well as 10 of mine (using Goat's Marco wood texture and my favorite iCad wood colors)
>Brass, chrome, black, and crystal hardware recolors
These files use the SAME GUIDs as the old files, so you cannot have both.
A very helpful anon let me know that one of my cabinets conflicted with the End-to-End coffee table in the game. Thought I got all those GUIDs, durn it.
File has been updated in the original link. If you just want the fixed mesh, you can get it here. :)
I was wondering if it's possible to add new kissing animations to The Sims 2. I've seen lots of amazing mods, including adult mods and new social interactions, but it seems like no one has ever thought about adding more kiss animations to the game.
What if we could have kissing animations similar to The Sims 3 or The Sims 4? That would be incredible! I absolutely love the kissing interactions in The Sims 2, but I feel like the game could really use at least four more kiss animations.
So my question for the modding community is: Would it be possible to add new kissing animations to The Sims 2? Whether they're converted from 3t2 or 4t2, or created from scratch?
If it's possible, it would truly be a dream come true because it would make the game feel much more dynamic. 🥹😻
I really hope this message reaches some of the best The Sims 2 modders And they can make it a reality. I know nothing about game modifications and I greatly admire the work. From the Modders: I hope this comes true. Reblog this if you want the same 🌹💋😻
