Decided to play TS3 again, always a delight when it works- I am using a shadow PC and I am actually very impressed with the performance

[lazyduchess]

hi :)

so, a few months ago i was laid off, and my pc died not long before.

right now im on a pretty slow rig i put together from old components i had laying around.

if you'd like to help out, I have a Patreon, every bit helps!

as for my modding stuff, i cant run TS3 at all on this pc, but i will get back to working on TS2. im open to comms too, if theres a mod youd like made you can dm me on discord or send me an email and we can figure it out :)

on the bright side, being jobless means i have more time, so i'll get to be around more, make more things and interact more :3

The School Project Project

I couldn't stop myself from giving this mod such an awful title. xD

This mod gives children and teenagers a chance of bringing home school project instead of standard written homework.

There are in total 6 school projects converted from TS4 Parenthood: bridge, castle, electricity, rocket, solar system and volcano.

Kids have a chance of bringing the following three projects: castle, solar system and volcano. Teens have a chance of bringing the following three projects: bridge, electricity and rocket.

Chance of bringing a school project is by default 20%, but it can be tuned in BCON "Tuning - School Project" of group 0x7FBE051B and instance 0x0000200A.

School projects take longer to finish (by about 1/4 longer), but are more rewarding, letting your Sims gain some skills, hobby enthusiasm and even badges, making school actually useful. 😉

Bridge makes your Sims gain mechanical skill and tinkering enthusiasm.

Castle makes your Sims gain creativity skill and arts enthusiasm.

Electricity makes your Sims gain mechanical skill, robotery badge and tinkering entusiasm.

Rocket makes your Sims gain logic skill, toy making badge and science enthusiasm.

Solar system makes your Sims gain mechanical skill and science enthusiasm.

Volcano makes your Sims gain logic skill and nature enthusiasm.

Skill, badge and enthusiasm gain isn't that great, but it's there.

You won't see the skill meter above your Sim's head, because apparently there can be only one meter at a time.

Sims have a chance of making school project of one of three qualities: poor, good and excellent.

The outcome depends on skill and badge corresponding the project, getting help with school project (but it only counts if it happens during quality check) and traits:

clumsy Sims will always get penalty,

technophobes wil get penalty when working on electricity and rocket,

'can't stand art' Sims will get penalty when working on castle,

geniuses and perfectionists will always get bonus,

handy Sims will get bonus when working on electricity and rocket,

artistic and avant garde Sims will get bonus when working on castle.

Bonuses do not stack. Penalties also don't. So if your Sim is genius and perfectionist, they will get only one bonus. Bonus and penalty can cancel each other out.

When making castle, your SIms will hold a crayon instead of a pencil. While working on the electricity project Sims will hold a screwdriver. In case of other projects Sims will still use pencil, because I haven't decided what else would fit. 😅

If you use smonaff’s Fall Asleep While Doing Homework, Sims who have fallen asleep can't make a project of excellent quality - it will be good at best.

Additionally, if you have @earlypleasantview's conversions of TS4 School Projects in your downloads, upon completion of a project a project will be placed in your Sim's inventory. The only exception is the castle as various qualities are recolors of the object, so you will have to manually set the recolor you want it to be.

Some of the mods for that I've made compatibility plug-ins are already incompatible, so:

DO NOT use my edit of Jenflower's Homework sometimes and plug-in for MidgeTheTree's No Buses at the same time - these two mods are incompatible.

DO NOT use my edit of Jenflower's Homework sometimes and my edit of Cyjon's Harder Homework and plug-in for simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (Full version) - these three mods are incompatible.

DO NOT use my edit of kestrellyn's Ask Anyone For Homework Help and plug-in for simler90's Homework Help Mod at the same time - these two mods are incompatible.

DO NOT use my plug-in for simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (both Full and Placement versions) and my plug-in for MogHughson's Desk Locator - these mods are incompatible.

I'm not planning on making any more compatibility plug-ins for this mod. I can safely assume 16 plug-ins is enough.

Known bugs

When project's model changes Sims arms are bent under weird angle for a moment.

Thanks to @lordcrumps for supplying me with meshes and textures for school projects from TS4 Parenthood!

Credits: @earlypleasantview as I've stolen borrowed their conversions of finished projects

Paperwork📝: No matter where I go, Chucky will always find me

Presented alongside Velco!

Now your Sims can do paperwork at home and get paid when they're done! A small item designed for those who need a few extra bills.

a cloned object from the MogHug manuscript

Options:

Do paperwork: The Sim will sit down to write, finish after a while, take the paperwork to the mailbox, and be rewarded with Simoleons.

Continue paperwork: If you interrupt the writing, you can resume it whenever you want.

Reassign owner: If the Sim who was writing is busy, you can assign another Sim to do the paperwork.

SimSlice's FanZone & Protest Cones Repo'd to Basegame

These are really unique items. You put down cones, assign one Sim to all cones or different Sims to different cones, wait a bit and two random Sims from your neighborhood will spawn behind each cone. The spawned Sims will then cheer about the selected Sim if they were summoned by a Fan Cone but they'll boo the Sim if they were summoned by a Protest Cone. They work on home and community lots. You can use them for storytelling, to create lines in front of nightclubs, or make it feel like your Sim is a celebrity. 126 poly, found in General -> Misc, and they now pull textures from the Resi-Stall

A small list of drama gameplay mods [Higher Death %, Deadly Diseases, Functional Weapons & Social Classes]

This is not a master post, also because I don't think I have enough mods to be able to make one properly, but more of a small list where I recommend some mods that could be useful if you are the kind of person who loves to put some juicy drama into your game ✨

Explanations and download links under the cut 👇🏻

I'll be fast but as concise as I can. (It's a lie)

DEATH MODS

When you think of a mod to create a bit of drama in the game, you immediately think of ACR. Yes, ACR is now a must have for everyone... but can drama only revolve around love affairs and surprises pregnacies? Oh no!

One of the main elements that Maxis has focused on to create drama is the killing of many sims. Many have died mysteriously, others have clearly been "murdered" by others, but we all know that the only way to kill a sim is to be directly responsible for their death.

It's very hard and rare for a sim to die randomly these days. I remember years ago killing a sim was really easy, but with the latest patches it seems like it's gotten a lot harder.

And one thing that's always bugged me is...there's no way to actually have a serial killer sim.

Yes, you can lock a sim in a room with no doors, have him go into the pool and remove the ladder, or have them cook, cancel the action and hope everything catches on fire (including them) but...Isn't boring that you always have to be the one to cause these deaths? That nothing ever happens unexpectedly or that your sim can never actually be the real cause of another sim death? It's nice to play with fantasy... but if we have mods, why limit yourself? I could link you many mods that increase the chance of dying in the various ways that the game allows, but I want to link only the most realistic ones that I personally use (for example, I will avoid mods that increase the chance of dying crushed by a satellite or Murphy's bed.)

User-indirect deaths

More Dangerous Fires - As the name itself explains, this mod increases the danger of fires by spreading the flames much faster.

Fatal diseases - Theoretically, there should be a small percentage for sims for die from diseases if that is not treated properly. Some premade ancestor sims have died of disease, but have you ever seen one of your sims die of It? This mod allows your sims to get sick in very dangerous ways. Sims can die from uncured illnesses or IN SOME CASES from the choking bug. This mod has several variants, some of them should have the bug fixed, others still have it. Mine unfortunately has it, but if you have a fixed variant please let me know! (I recommend using this mod together with this mod. Increasing the risk of fatal disease puts ALL your sims at risk, so it's best to cure the ones you want to keep alive.)

Death by childbirth (Honestly I've never used it because I've seen that those who use it have a very high percentage of seeing all their sims die for childbirth, but if you want extra drama...)

Mod to kill sims...with your own sims

Functional guns (Self explanatory)

Functional sword 1 (Yes, you can kill sims with a sword!)

Functional sword(s) 2 (As above but with a better animation and you can choose the type of sword!)

Poison making station (Yes, you can poison sims!)

(Feel free to recommend other mods if you know of any!) BUT not occult ones (I want to make a separate list for those)

SOCIAL CLASSES MODS

Another thing that has always bothered me about The Sims 2 is that there is no real social class system and/or a fame system.

There are social classes in AL, but what's the point if they're just NPC sims that spawn in apartments? And they have nothing different from other sims except the way they greet?

Yes, the reputation system is also nice...it works well, but it's not what I'm looking for.

Morally it is very nice that at least in The Sims 2 there is no distinction between rich and poor, maxis itself has often struggled to represent the two social classes. For a poor sim it was always easier, you just had to throw him in the poorest house that exists and give him little money (even if I often noticed that poor sims have more money than a rich sim, but let's pretend we didn't see it, eh Maxis?) but for rich sims...mhh, Maxis has never managed to represent them properly. Yeah, jacket and tie, a slightly bigger house and slightly more money than a normal sim, but it's not enough.

Something is missing. Something that makes me see the difference between "the plebs and the nobility."

It's always bothered me that even families that aren't just rich, but noble and royal, interact with other sims as if nothing is wrong.

If you, as a normal person, were to meet a royal, I don't think at all that you would be indifferent and would address this person as if he were your next door neighbor.

Let's leave aside the Goths and Landgraabs who are simply rich (even if the Landgraabs have noble roots) but the Capp? The Monty? The Summerdream? They are MORE than rich.

I always had this impression of them that these sims were "unreachable" by common sims. That everything and scandal about them had to be on everyone's lips. That if you meet one of them at work or at school you do not remain indifferent.

Normal adult sims would like to befriend wealthy noble adults, attracted by their status and wealth.

Normal teenagers sims would look at the noble/royal teenagers in some sense surprised, literally make them the "cool kids" and fangirl over them.

"Look!! It's [noble sim name] you know that he is from a noble family??"

*LE GASP IN SIMLISH*

Unfortunately I haven't found any mods that allow this type of reaction, but I have found some that could simulate it.

The first mod that comes to my mind is simslice's fanzone cone. I've never used it because I think it's very uncomfortable due to how it's set up, but it's perfect if you want other sims to cheer on your sim as if they were celebrities. How it works: The fanzone cone is an object, literally a cone, that you place on a lot and by clicking on it you select which sim you want to be the celebrity. Sims that spawn in that lot will start cheering your sim. (The inconvenience of this mod is that you have to put a cone on any lot your sim is in, because without the cone your sim reverts to a normal sim.)

The second and third mod that I want to recommend are the ones I use and recommend the most. They are a bit "medieval themed", but if a person is noble/royal by family, they doesn't stop being so just because we are in 2024, right?)

These mods might seem a bit "old fashioned" to you, but I personally think they give the right importance to these social classes.

For both mods you need to download the trait system mod, but you don't have to use all the traits if you don't want, just the trait_MAIN is enough since the mods I'm about to link don't work without it.

While you can already simulate something using the "proper, snob and diva" traits with the trait system, I think these mods are more specific:

• Medieval Traits 1, 2, 3 & 4 (Royal, Noble, Knight, Servant etch)

Mods that work with medieval traits:

Royals & Nobles don't cook and clean (With this mod, sims with this social rank do not cook or clean. Let the servants do that!)

Social status based greet (Sims will greet other sims based on their social rank, for example, they will always bow to a noble or royal.)

Unfortunately that's all I could find. I couldn't find anything that would identify a sim as someone important like celebrities are in Get Famous in The Sims 4, where you can't even talk to them unless you're famous enough or you manage to get them to like you.

If you know of any other mods, whether related to death or social classes, please let me know and I'll add them to the list!

Dog Training Competition Mod!

SO, @heathensimmer put me onto this mod and I just feel like I need to share it with people cause it seems to be super underated and needs to be talked about! It's by the amazing Chris Hatch, but of course he dropped it in a thread that not many people would generally look for, so I feel like bringing more attention to it is important! Basically, it's the pet competition from Pet Stories! Chris includes a document explaining how the mod works so I highly advise reading it, but make sure you download all the files and read the instructions! NOTE: It adds and NPC to your game so if you know about how adding NPCs and removing them can be dangerous, just keep that in mind when adding this to your game!

Okay, anyways, here's the Dog Competion MOD: HERE!

[hexagonal-bipyramid]

Hi, about the celebrity system suggested by another anon: there was a mod by SimSlice (defunct site, but you can find their content at the Booty) called The Fanzone Cone. It's an object you put in any lot and assign a sim (the one you want to be a celebrity) to it. The download comes with a Read Me file that explains how it works. Perhaps someone can make the cone work as a trait by allowing it to work when it's placed in the inventory (instead of a lot)?

Hi!

Oh that’s a cool object! Thank you for finding it (the object description is here and the download here)!

That’s super cool idea!

[jodeliejodelie]

House of Fallen Trees.

And this marks the end of my time in Downtown. I went all out on this lot and spend around 11,5 hours working on it. I was inspired by the Resident Evil 7 house and I’m very happy some people have picked up on that!

When I started building this I thought it would be fun if throughout time members of the Tricou family added pieces to the house, making it an architectural monster. It took some puzzling with elevations and foundations but I finally managed to pull it off!

I haven’t playtested this lot, but I can tell you that due to my use of OMSPs several objects can not be used. I’m also not sure if the secret door to the cellar works, but I hope it does.

Finally, I’m aware of the lighting issues with this lot. I used the version of this lot that came with a clean/empty version of Downtown, and I’m pretty sure that means lighting is not fixed although I’m not sure (read more about fixing it here). Because I used a clean/empty version, this lot had no graves, which means it’s safe to use.

Check out my House of Fallen Trees tag for more detailed pictures.

Notes:

I used Numenor’s custom walls, I’ve included them in the download.

I used these bathroom defaults, I did not include them.

I placed 1 tiled pools underneath rocks to make Voeille’s water mod work. If you don’t have that mod you can delete those pools.

As for compatibility: I have the Ultimate Collection version of TS2.

Lastly, my thanks to all CC creators whose work I’ve used.

do u have any reshade preset recommendations??

hello, anon! i actually am very indecisive when it comes to sticking to reshade presets because i love them all, so if i were to compile a list of all the reshades i've ever used, it would probably be longer than the tumblr post limit, xD. as it is though, i've compiled a list of my top 5 reshade presets just for you!

these are in no particular order, and they're very much based on my own personal preference, so do keep that in mind! <3

(previews also are from the original creators, they're not mine unless otherwise stated!!)

MY TOP 5 RESHADE PRESETS FOR TS2

1. dove 2.0 by @kindlespice

i love this preset SO MUCH, like many of the reshades i use it's originally meant for ts4 but looks really cool in ts2 as well! especially with clay hair.

i have made some of my own edits to it in my game to make it match my semi-realistic save more, but here is how it looks in my maxis-match save! <3

2. permasummer by myself!

self-promo but this was my first preset and i'm still quite proud of it! i only use it for certain builds now as my style has really evolved since i first started playing with it, but it still has a special place in my heart :3

3. longdistancewinner by @dreadpirate

i just love the dreamy look my game has when i use this reshade--so pretty! it also fits with almost every style you have, maxis match or alpha :)

4. gia by @kindlespice

another kindlespice preset that i really love! again, it's for ts4, but who cares when it looks so cute in ts2? build wip of the oldie-pleasant home for reference :D

5. tv dinner by @microscotch

there are actually 3 presets on that download post and i've used all 3 with varying results, but i love this one the most! it looks especially good at sunset.

hope this is enough to satisfy your hunger for reshades, anon! <3 <3 <3 if you guys would like any other cc/mods recommendations, feel free to ask :3

Potions A Plenty - Potion Brewing Set

Pulling from most every other set of Sun&Moon for potion ingredients, this set gives the sims the ability to brew various potions that affect moods, skills, life states, aging, pregnancy, health, and a variety of other mostly harmless effects.

The Quick Feature Review/Set Breakdown below the cut.

Download - SFS

View Use/Instruction Manual

The Potion Crafting Bench - The heart of the set itself, the potion bench is where components are stored, prepared, and combined into batches of potions. At this station, sims can do the following.

Practice potion making and brew a total of 56 potions that have varying effects when drank by sims

Earn Logic Skill and Science Enthusiasm

Stock materials

Order Supply Bundles to facilitate quicker potion making

Obtain a Writ of Mastery in potion crafting

Keep a tidy workstation by keeping things clean

A set of “basic” potions, and their ingredients will be considered REQUIRED for function. Do not remove those files. Let the manual guide you.

This set is MAC-compatible and requires Smarter EP Check, Easy Inventory Check, Easy Lot Check and Money Globals. These are HARD requirements. The set will NOT FUNCTION without these files.

Access to these is dictated by logic skill level as well as a writ of mastery/Creature Life State/Traits.

This station has 28 decorative slots, as well as a decorative mode to enable/disable effects and an "in use" look at will.

Story Mode Enabled - Skip all the ingredients and steps, just enjoy the end products, or just run the animations on a station for the ease of taking pictures.

*New Feature* - Station Cleanliness. As the station is used, it will obtain dirty points. This dirty level affects the outcomes of potion crafting and increases failure chances. Make sure to keep the cauldron clean to ensure quality products!

*New Feature* - Supply Ordering. For a flat rate, sims can buy a bulk order of various materials needed for any potion. They will be added directly to the station's crafting counts.

All potions can be found in Hobbies/Logic. Complete Dutch and Portuguese translations. If you'd like to translate into your native language, please share your strings with us and we'll update the set proper!

Inventory Tools & New Items

Botanical Book - Pretty and useful. Inventory Tool.

Writ of Mastery - Apothecary Version. Inventory Tool.

Crate of Jars - 6 glass jars needed for potion making.

Cauldron Dregs - Waste produced from cleaning the station or failing in potion making.

Bonus Items

Reference Tome - In game recipe book for all potions

Counter Split OMSP - Give maxis counters a chance to hold more things!

Display Shelves - 9 decorative slots, two versions.

Apothecary Todd Cart and Pavilion - Previously released sets bundled into this set; they have been optimized and renamed, please remove the old versions.

Potion Specifics

Potions come in 5 types: Basic, Folk Remedy Potions, Arcane Potions, Creature/Lifestate Potions, and Poison Potions. The more fantastical the potion, the more complex it is to make.

Please be aware that depending on your playstyle you will have to add more files from other sources or you can delete certain files from this set without worry; For example, if you do not play your game with creature life states or custom creature life states, you may delete anything related to those potions, provided it is not used in another “basic” potion.

Potions are NOT recolorable and will not be made so in the future. If you wish to alter the bottle/potion colors yourself, this may be done in the properties/categorized properties tab of each subset txmt in SimPe, using the stdMatDiffCoef line.

Potions Vs. Teas: You will notice that many potions have the same effects as previously released teas from the Quali-Tea set. So what’s the difference? 

Teas are based on cooking and logic skills only. Potions function more on Logic skill level and a Writ of Mastery, OR Witch/Warlock state, and other traits.

Teas are single cup per crafting interactions (except basic hunger teas). Potions will always produce in a batch of 6.

In some cases, Teas require MORE ingredients to make, whereas Potions require LESS ingredients but higher Logic skill and rarer/less natural ingredients.

While potions can have the same effect as a similar tea, more risk is involved with taking them and sims can experience adverse/opposite of intended effects.

[simmearly]

Update! I got this working - this with their other sets almost feels like the sims 1 makin magic.

The Potion Crafting Bench - The heart of the set itself, the potion bench is where components are stored, prepared, and combined into batches of potions. At this station, sims can do the following.

Practice potion making and brew a total of 56 potions that have varying effects when drank by sims

Earn Logic Skill and Science Enthusiasm

Stock materials

Order Supply Bundles to facilitate quicker potion making

Obtain a Writ of Mastery in potion crafting

Keep a tidy workstation by keeping things clean

A set of “basic” potions, and their ingredients will be considered REQUIRED for function. Do not remove those files. Let the manual guide you.

This set is MAC-compatible and requires Smarter EP Check, Easy Inventory Check, Easy Lot Check and Money Globals. These are HARD requirements. The set will NOT FUNCTION without these files.

Access to these is dictated by logic skill level as well as a writ of mastery/Creature Life State/Traits.

This station has 28 decorative slots, as well as a decorative mode to enable/disable effects and an "in use" look at will.

Story Mode Enabled - Skip all the ingredients and steps, just enjoy the end products, or just run the animations on a station for the ease of taking pictures.

*New Feature* - Station Cleanliness. As the station is used, it will obtain dirty points. This dirty level affects the outcomes of potion crafting and increases failure chances. Make sure to keep the cauldron clean to ensure quality products!

*New Feature* - Supply Ordering. For a flat rate, sims can buy a bulk order of various materials needed for any potion. They will be added directly to the station's crafting counts.

All potions can be found in Hobbies/Logic. Complete Dutch and Portuguese translations. If you'd like to translate into your native language, please share your strings with us and we'll update the set proper!

Potion Specifics

Potions come in 5 types: Basic, Folk Remedy Potions, Arcane Potions, Creature/Lifestate Potions, and Poison Potions. The more fantastical the potion, the more complex it is to make.

Please be aware that depending on your playstyle you will have to add more files from other sources or you can delete certain files from this set without worry; For example, if you do not play your game with creature life states or custom creature life states, you may delete anything related to those potions, provided it is not used in another “basic” potion.

Potions are NOT recolorable and will not be made so in the future. If you wish to alter the bottle/potion colors yourself, this may be done in the properties/categorized properties tab of each subset txmt in SimPe, using the stdMatDiffCoef line.

Potions Vs. Teas: You will notice that many potions have the same effects as previously released teas from the Quali-Tea set. So what’s the difference? 

Teas are based on cooking and logic skills only. Potions function more on Logic skill level and a Writ of Mastery, OR Witch/Warlock state, and other traits.

Teas are single cup per crafting interactions (except basic hunger teas). Potions will always produce in a batch of 6.

In some cases, Teas require MORE ingredients to make, whereas Potions require LESS ingredients but higher Logic skill and rarer/less natural ingredients.

While potions can have the same effect as a similar tea, more risk is involved with taking them and sims can experience adverse/opposite of intended effects.
