Siknoy336 / Talor Pronouns: He/Him Playing The Sims 2 since 2007! Recently started modding in 2024!

[siknoy336]

hi! So I'm having a strange issue that I don't know if it's an issue? Basically, when I go into the vehicles category, the cars aren't there anymore? Only the mod stuff like the tire racks... Am I supposed to buy it elsewhere? I thought it was a conflict and tried loading only the mod and they're still not there... Sorry if I missed something

Did some investigating and found this is from a version of the Mog_20090327_maxis_ownable_cars that was included from 2.0 delete that file and redownload from here: Mod The Sims - Decorative Parking Spaces - with random cars parked

I'm so sorry everyone, Aren't i just so good at this? XD

[siknoy336]

Hi! Error log anon, it happens with every car.. vanilla and some by fresh prince

Do you have the "Mog_20090327_maxis_ownable_cars" file found here: Mod The Sims - Decorative Parking Spaces - with random cars parked

[siknoy336]

Vehicle Maintenance 2.1

Forgot to mention in 2.0:

Sims with the absent minded trait have a 50% chance of forgetting to turn on/off their vehicles headlights

New feature - Headlights. This feature can be toggled on/off through toggling the battery feature. (on by default)

-My apologies XD

2.1 Fixes:

Fixed the engine hoist (Tea)

Fixed Interaction "change tire" to work on ALL vehicles (Tea)

Fixed Fuel Simulations, ALL vehicles now work for simulations! (Me)

Fixed Fuel Simulation Animations. Animations now depend on whatever car you're using, so no more funky looking animations, it looks just like maxis! (Me)

Fixed redundant tire pie menu (Tea)

Fixed issue with invisible walking transitions trying to use maintenance features (Me)

Replace all files with the ones in the update!

2.1 Additions:

Compatibility Patch for Vehicle Maintenance & Drive To Work Traits by fway

(Replace Original Tuning File With Z_Z_VehicleMaintenance_CompPatch_TA_fway_DrivetoWorkTraits_Tuning_DressTransport OR Load Z_Z_VehicleMaintenance_CompPatch_TA_fway_DrivetoWorkTraits_Tuning_DressTransport After The Original Tuning File)

Vehicle Maintenance 2.0 Notes

With fuel simulations, sims have a chance of spawning in back-to-back. If enough people want a version that only has sims spawn when their vehicle NEEDS fuel, and actually fills their tank and charges them, I will make one! I had this idea but decided to hear everyone's opinion! <3

I forgot to mention with fuel pumps, it is now best to place them alternating directions, otherwise it can be wonky.

My previous spoiler of sims getting pulled over IS coming, it's just very unfinished and weirdly buggy at the moment lol.

[evannamari]

Have you ever noticed that by default, only a couple of textures from the game's files are used with Temperate terrain type in the neighborhood view?

I decided to find out what would happen if I forced the game to use all 4 textures for wet and dry areas. So I changed the settings in NeighborhoodTerrain.ini of the last EP and it works: all existed textures are rendered now.

before:

; for temperate terrain 0x01=0.9,nh-temperate-wet,2, lottexture-test-01, 0,1, 26,0 0x04=0.9,nh-temperate-drydry,3, lottexture-test-01, 0,1, 26,0

after:

; for temperate terrain 0x01=0.9,nh-temperate-wet,4, lottexture-test-01, 0,1, 26,0 0x04=0.9,nh-temperate-drydry,4, lottexture-test-01, 0,1, 26,0

The first two screenshots are a view with test materials:

Here you can see the difference between the default and edited looks with game textures:

Well, in dry areas, the textures look good and varied, which is great, but the difference isn't that big.

In wet areas, unfortunately, the additional textures aren't seamless and look very different. But for default replacements, this may look good.

I don't know what risks this carries, so if you will try this too, be sure to make backups of the original files.

Vehicle Maintenance 2.0

@teaaddictyt and I are back again with another (HUGE) update that changes basically everything. It is recommended to delete vehicle maintenance 1.2 and start from scratch here since here have been lots of fixes, changes, and additions.

Fixes / Updates / Improvements:

Some files have been renamed for better organization (Me)

Fixed motor oil's category, the "Function - Init" wasn't setting it properly (Tea)

Fixed & Updated Code for Maintenance Checks and Decay. Added new checks and organized (Me)

Fixed animation strings for the fuel pump, bhavs were calling on the wrong animations (Me)

Fixed a coding mistake in the "add fuel from jerry can" interaction, this is working now (Me)

Updated all objects "keep buying" when holding shift in buy mode (Tea)

Updated the parking block object footprint and reduced to one OBJD (Tea)

Recategorized Dee's parking meter to driveway category to match with parking block (Tea)

Updated deviance interactions (Steal battery, Slash Tire, Siphon Fuel) available to any sim who meets criteria: Sims in criminal career or with evil trait, now uses "Easy Inventory Check", added availability for sims with <= 2 nice personality points, removed limitation on family members being deviant on family car and replaced with relationship checks (Tea & I)

Updated the quality of oil depend on sim's mechanical skill during an at home oil change (Tea)

Added motive changes for Deviant interactions, depending on niceness personality points and/or traits (Tea)

Added maintenance interactions edited to check 1) is it a community lot? 2) is it a business lot? 3) is it a service station? 4) am I staff / family / employee? (Tea)

Added motives gain & loss for vehicle maintenance will differ slightly if sim has "Vehicle Enthusiast" trait or not (Tea)

Merged Interactions into one and removed unnecessary/bugged code, saving space and instance numbers (Me)

New BCONS! Maintenance is now tunable, as well as all maintenance objects in their individual files (Me)

New motor oil mesh and texture (Me)

New animation for the "Add fuel from jerry can" interaction (Me)

New animation for the "Change Oil" Interaction (Me)

Updated Fuel Pumps, Each pump had been split in half to allow access on both sides (meaning a double-sided pump is now two tiled) (Me)

Updated Tires, you now have 4 separate tires to deal with (Me)

Updated CAPS to check if the driveway is empty before linking to it, fixing problems with new updates (Me)

Updated "Check Fuel Gauge" interaction. Sims no longer need to be sitting in the car to check the fuel level (Me)

Updated Tire meshes and textures (Extracted from DeeDee's Tire Pile) Two versions, one with a rim and one without, all three of these objects can exist in your downloads folder simultaneously (Me)

Updated Car Wash mesh, slightly moved over to accommodate additions (Me)

Maintenance interactions are now available if the object is on the lot or in sims inventory (Tea & I)

New custom semiglobal dialog strings. This will help avoid conflict with other mods, as well as having nicer, neater code (Tea & I)

The "Go To Casino" addon/interaction has been removed since I stumbled upon These

Additions:

Edited all driveways with a new routing slot, this should make working on engine look more realistic (Tea)

Storage Tire Rack. Store Tires @ Home / OFB Tire Rack. Sims can now buy/sell tires on business lots (Tea & I)

Added new code parking blocks and parking meters to spawn in and out cars every so often (random intervals) to simulate cars arriving and leaving the lot. This means all parking meters and parking blocks will now try to find an empty, unused driveway to "link to" Intervals are shorter on a "servo" lot, longer on any other lot (uses Mog's original code). These spawned in cars have a new limited tree table with maintenance & deviant options only, along with having a 50% chance of having an alarm installed (Tea)

Added & edited a new modded object: Engine Hoist by Oce / Blue Heaven Sims. This object can spawn in cars needing maintenance so a sim can work on the car and be paid for a service. They are paid $50 x their mechanical skill (Tea)

Added New Feature - Engine. Driving a vehicle with low oil and/or fuel will decrease the condition of the vehicles engine, which can lead to engine failure (Me)

Added new modded objects: Fuel Maintenance Hole, Fuel Maintenance System. The Maintenance Hole will restock nearby fuel pumps. When the Maintenance Hole is running low, the buttons on the Maintenance System will turn red. When the Maintenance Hole restocks fuel pumps, owners and employees unlock the interaction "Order Fuel Delivery" on the Fuel Maintenance System. I did it this way, so each pump doesn't have to be restocked individually. It's also more realistic in my experience from working at a gas station. Fuel price is based on the BCON in the main vehicle maintenance file, the "set price" interaction will go off of that and do maths :) (Me)

New Compatibility Patches (Tea & I)

Vehicle Maintenance & Taxi's Charge Money

Burglars And Alarms & Visit Other Sims

Taxi's Charge Money & Visit Other Sims

Institution Sign & Visit Other Sims

Added Fuel/Car Wash Simulations (With Traits). Sims from the neighborhood who own a car and have a driver's license will now arrive under conditions (spawn in if their schedule is cleared, with weather checks and Traits: Hydrophobic, Loves The Rain, Loves The Cold, Night Owl) at gas stations to get a random amount of fuel or wash their vehicle, which is paid to the business, but not actually taken from the sim. Passengers can spawn in if their schedule is cleared and they meet various criteria: spouses, children, friends, along with weather checks and traits (Hydrophobic, loves the rain, loves the cold, night owl, loner, social butterfly, family oriented). Basically, we made actual functional gas stations/car washes. Yes, you read that correctly! :)))) (You can ban sims with visitor blocker) When recoloring a vehicle after a sim takes ownership, you can click the "Update Vehicle Token" which will update the token to be the correct color for when they spawn in (Tea & I)

Known Issues:

during fuel/car wash simulations, some vehicles will not let sims snap to slots. to combat this, they just disappear and leave until I can figure out a better solution (slots will be the death us)

Almost every vehicle has a different length, so animations for getting to the hood can be goofy, or spot on! like i said, the slots will take us out. some pics for comparison (i stole these from Tea lol):

The OFB tire rack gives back the business a small percentage of the tires price, instead of a larger amount and I don't know how to combat this (if anyone wants to help, OFB code is a nightmare lol)

Requirements:

The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection OR Disc Version, All Expansions & Stuff Packs (Either recommended)

Happy Simming :)

[siknoy336]

Uh Oh, Siknoy made globals...

4 globals, in fact :) They are: Get in Temp 0 - Obj GUID on Lot (Instance Number = 0x00000FF8) Param 0 = Lower GUID / Param 1 = Upper GUID Get in Temp 0 - Obj GUID in Sim Inventory (Instance Number = 0x00000FF9) Param 0 = Sim NID / Param 1 = Upper GUID / Param 2 = Lower GUID Get in Temp 0 - Obj Category on Lot (Instance Number = 0x00000FF6) Param 0 = Obj Category Get in Temp 0 - Obj Category in Sim Inventory (Instance Number = 0x00000FF7) Param 0 = Sim NID / Param 1 = Obj Category / Param 2 = Delete? The first two globals are pretty much identical to HB_EasyInventoryCheck and FireFlower_EasyLotCheck, but the ones i made have a twist, it stores that item in temp 0. Labels are also provided <3 These globals will be required for any future mods by me (probably lol) Credit to @hexagonal-bipyramid and @fireflowersims for their original globals that i snatched, as well as @teaaddictyt for helping me pick instance numbers to avoid conflicts lol <3 EDIT: Please Redownload if you are seeing this after you have downloaded it lol i made a mistake and fixed it XD EDIT AGAIN: sorry lol this is the last time Added a New Global: Does Sim Have Obj Category in Inventory? (Instance Number = 0x00000FF5) Param 0 = Sim NID / Param 1 = Obj Category

Club Counter Mapping Edit

Hey simmers,

As part of a larger project I randomly decided to finally do (as a bit of a break from modding), I decided to finally fix / change this:

Look, idk what Maxis were thinking here with the "lip" of the countertop being wood instead of the same texture as the countertop, but I have always thought it was rather horrendously ugly and made no sense. It seems to have been intentional, I don't get it.

The club counters are actually a fairly large set; they are one of the few Maxis counters to have an all drawers / cupboards and drawers variation, there's a commercial counter variation, an island, and it's also the cabinet that the commercial espresso machine sits on. And of course since they're counters, they also had corner meshes. So I've made edits to all of these counters.

(don't ask me how long it took to get the corners right. I am such a derp sometimes...)

To do so I've actually edited a CEP file by Havelock, which originally made the counter and the countertop recolourable on separate subsets. So if you have their original CEP, replace it with mine, otherwise here, have a new CEP! You can put this into your Documents / EA Games / zCEP folder, or just anywhere in your downloads and it will probably function the same way.

You can download my edits

**You could still use the taxi, but I would recommend sticking to one transportation for your sims when traveling, since the bus use the same coding system as the taxi.***

Ex: You select taxi going to the community lot, leave on the bus and come back in a taxi if you select traveling with taxi first and vice versa ( if you like playing like that)

Next, The original bus is in the thumbnail when the bus arrives or going home

✩ Trigger Warming ✩

Many of y'all know that unfortunately Chris Hatch could add very weird or uncomfortable features and recolors to his mods, as amazing as his work is, I have to call it out. Even though, this feature is not "weird" in itself, which is allowing sims to lounge on benches/couches, but the lounge feature is only available for teen-adult female sims when they're wearing a swimsuit

If you are a coder, you are welcome to edit this part of the mod ( lets me know and I will reupload it with your edit and give credit), even though this feature is not inherently problematic (I actually love the lounge features for lazy sims, I think this feature would be great for homeless sims or tried sims coming from work etc.…), but the intentions behind it is creepy and his note about it are creepy too, just warming people when downloading.

Pool tile hider rug

If ever you struggled with how to hide the necessary pool tile for the sea/pond water mod? I have, and so has my friend @ladyvondolladay. She had an idea, and I made it a reality.

I present to you — the terrain rug. A two poly sheet with terrain paint textures that you can slap over your pool tile and hide it completely. Thank you @picknmixsims for sharing the shader info I needed to make the texture actually blend in this perfectly!

There are recolors to match all 30 maxis terrains, swatch folder is included. I chose to only do full strength, as the combinations quickly get out of hand otherwise. If you are interested in making your own recolors to match custom terrains or common blends you use, I'll include an explanation of how I did it under the cut.

You'll find it in deco/rugs, it costs nothing. 2 poly, textures are 256x256.

Download on simfileshare

Credits: Calibrat who helped me with the names of terrains in English for swatch purposes. LadyVonDolladay for the original idea. @pforestsims who suggested the problem with getting texture to match might be shader related.

The textures were made by taking a screenshot of the terrain painted ground from straight above and at a level of zoom where 1 tile in game measured about 256x256 pixels. By matching the mesh size to the image size I grab, the scale of the pattern remains the same. I included a texture reference image to hopefully make it a little easier to understand what I mean.

I haven't tried with floor tile textures, but I think it would work somewhat well for them too though the mesh is just a smidge bigger than exactly 1 tile.

New Update? :P

Coming soon...

[siknoy336]

hello! i love you inappropriate trait mods, especially the skinny dipping one! but i found a conflict in HDCU+ with hexagonal-bipyramid's 3t2 divingBoardAutonomy and ladderAutonomy mods, is this intentional?

Hi! It is not. I have been trying to solve this but for some reason it's more tricky than I thought it would lol

[SET] The Last Of Us - Financial Plaza Set - Plaza / part 1

FINANCIAL PLAZA - is a new set of conversions from the game "The Last of Us". It will be divided into several subsets, which will be released in parts.

This post presents the first part of the "Plaza" subset, which contains:

An overgrown tree, with a broken bench and a flowerbed (MAIN MASTER; 1x1; L corner only; decor; +seasoned recolors);

Tree (+seasoned recolors);

Grass (MASTER & REPOs; three objects; +seasoned recolors);

Low Flowerbeds (REPO; 1x1; two objects: 3x3, 5x6; +seasoned recolors);

Tall Flowerbeds (REPO; 1x1; four objects: 2x3, 2x5, L & R corners; +seasoned recolors);

Benches (REPO; decor; two objects: 1x1, 1x2);

Block #1 & #2 (REPO; two objects: 1x1);

Lantern (functional);

Terrain paint (+seasoned variations);

Paving stones (floor 2x2; +3D addons - three objects MASTER & REPOs)

These are recolors, not seasonal objects:

Paving stones:

_____________________________________________________

TUTORIALS:

! You need:

OMSPs by SilentLucidity

Chair OMSPs by Honeywell

to place trees in a flowerbed and lanterns on blocks:

Isolating Fence by Criquette-was-here (included):

Initially, the invisible version of the isolating fence is unzipped, that means it is invisible in-game. If you need to edit its placement (in future) - delete ‘invisible’ file and unzip ‘visible’ version of the fence. The fence will become visible in-game. Once you’re done, delete the visible version and unzip the invisible one. The fence will go invisible in-game again. Repeat once you need it.

to restrict the movements of Sims:

Shiftable Everything mod by Lamare

to place objects on flowerbeds:

Extended Standard Material Shader edit by Crisps&Kerosene sims.

because the lantern uses an additive map!

Night:

Day:

AND THE MOST IMPORTANT THING!

You can combine the elements to create any shape you want:

Let your imagination run free! 💜

_____________________________________________________

INSTRUCTION:

- Put all files in the “Downloads” folder.

The set contains a collection file with all the objects:

If you have all previous parts of "Financial Plaza" set (need to update the collection file):

Vehicle Maintenance V 1.2

This is another small update but a necessary one due to Bug Fixes.

Bug Fixes - Changing the oil/tire resulted in an object error, this has been fixed.

Bug Fixes - Slashing a tire resulted in an object error, this has been fixed.

Visit Other Sims - My edit of Meduza edit of Visit Other Sims conflicts version 2009 of Inges Institution Sign. Use version 201C instead! If you are keen on sticking to version 2009, @teaaddictyt has made an edit to Visit Other Sims to be compatible! (Thank you, Tea!)

CAPS - The dialog for choosing a parking spot no longer shows for business owners, they will automatically park in a parking spot.

Spare Tire - Adds the option to store tires in a car (Closest I could get to a trunk inventory for now) This is done through attributes, so some compPatches needed to be updated as well!

Everything is included in the download link. There are 2 versions, one for CJH Visit Other Sims and the other for Story Progression. Choose Only One!

For those who are just updating, the only files affected by this update are:
