The column replacement is repository linked to the fountain.
Backyard Pyramid Pieces
I rebuilt all six pieces of the Backyard Pyramid from scratch. My pyramid has four tiers instead of three and straight sides. All pieces are repository linked to the inner corner. I used textures from the Jungle Adventure ornate stone wall and the pool trim to make a repeating pattern.
I also added two separate recolours for the stairs.
Unknown Ancient Leader
This is a replacement for the stone statue. It has two textures. The skeleton and spear can be recoloured separately.
Wall of Significant Confusion
I took the calendar out of the glass case and used it to replace the wall carving. It comes in the four colours above.
Wall and Flooring
The wall lines up with the pattern on the pyramid pieces.
The llama replaces the monkey tiles and the poison symbol replaces the snake. I adjusted the texture file for the other tiles so they repeat on a 2x2 basis. The broken tiles look nice mixed in among the more intact ones.

Instructions:
Files in the CEP folder need to go in your program files, under zCEP-EXTRA. For Ultimate Collection users, this is:
Program Files\Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Double Deluxe\Base\TSData\Res\Catalog\zCEP-EXTRA
I am gratefully including HugeLunatic's Pyramid CEP Extra.
All other files go in your Downloads as normal.
Remember that you can only have one default replacement for each item. These are compatible with catalogue reorganisers like Phaenoh's, but not any other mesh or texture default replacements.
LordCrumps' shadow file is required and included. As always, toss the shadow file if you already have one in your downloads folder.
Could not remember if I have uploaded these or not, but here are my 4T2 eyes, defaults to replace maxis eyes colours plus new icons to match in CAS!
They were made to go along with an equal genetics mod, so if you want to make them "un-equal" its reversing the steps to make them equal I guess!
I have included edits to some occult defaults that I use, remove them if you don't have the mods etc, but replace my files over theirs for changes to take effect. Mods that I have edited are;
@episims Correlated Warewolf
@microscotch's wisteria skin defaults - only edited the occults!
I didn't know if I was ever going to get around to doing more hood deco defaults, but @narcysims requested if I can default some of the Asian-themed hood deco from BV with hood deco from leoz's 4t2 conversions. I put it at the top of my to do list since I wasn't motivated to work on anything else. I did both sets of tori gates/posts/walls. I didn't do the bonsai pines since tvickie's 4t2 plant defaults also default the hood versions.
Half of the defaults have 2 different mesh versions since I couldn't decide. All except the wood tori wall share textures with the lod of the telling tori gate from buy mode so they have custom txmt/txtr with the shpe defaulted to use them instead of conflicting with that object. I got rid of seams on some meshes and added backsides to the ribbons on the wish board (after I took the previews). I resized most textures though 3 of the gates still have 1024x1024 since they were too blurry made smaller. The wish board is 2.8k poly and rest are around 250-1.8k.
Red tori gate replaced with either ts4 red torii or tourist gate (the gray entry-looking one)
Red tori post replaced with tall stone lantern
Red tori wall replaced with either wishing board or info board
Wood tori replaced with either ts4 wood torii or tourist town gate (that thing with the mossy roof)
Wood tori post replaced with origami statue. I added shine to all except the 2 worn texture options.
Wood tori wall replaced with bamboo fence
All files are compressed with included previews and swatch for the defaults with different texture options. Swatch

Alright, I am at a point where I want to be done with my adult male defaults for now. Originally I wanted to default all the hat hairs from the SP/EPs and try going for a âdefaults onlyâ game but I decided to use some hiders for most of those for now and keep my beloved massive folder of custom hairs, lol. So this is the last few hairs I needed to default after the mass hiding of 2023. Additionally, I have been working on organizing a spreadsheet that lists the defaults (and hiders) I use from others and gives links to them so that those who might be struggling to find all the clay hairs could have a little help.
I answered a question on GoS yesterday about glasses defaults which made me want to replace some glasses. Hereâs uuaccessoryeyeglassesthinrims and uuaccessorysunglassesthinrims replaced with 4t2 SP05 Large Round by @pxlbob, with clear glass by @peppermint-ginger (canât find the original post) and green glass by me.
The regular glasses normally only appear for CU and AF/EF, so Iâve unhidden the other ages. The sunglasses are normally hidden for all ages, and Iâve unhidden those too. Clear glasses are towniefied, sunglasses are not.
Accessories are⊠weird, so make sure you delete Accessory.cache after installing or uninstalling this. Also, accessories do not auto-update so you will have to update Sims manually by opening the change appearance window. No need to make any changes, just open the window and save.
I've been working on getting more organized and managed to get a default done in the process - yay! This hair is from @simborg who also has a female version for anyone interested. Colors used: Pipebomb, Flash Powder, Caim, Sunkissed, and Explosive V2. Proper credits and a copy of the preview is included. @ts2male Goodnight!
Hi all! I decided to revamp my default hairs folder with only clay hairs and where I didn't find any replacements that I liked I decided to learn to default replace and do them myself! So I'm mostly doing these for myself and hope you'll enjoy it too! If anyone already made these I'm so sorry đ„ș Please let me know if you find any issues with them!

This is Lucilla-Sims' 4t2 EP12 Pinafore outfit. I wanted the colors to match the base game outfit, so I took the shoe textures from another dress and slapped them over the brown dress' textures :)
A few more for the boys! I have been sort of going by page in CAS and trying to default everything that isn't covered on that page before I move to anything else. So right now I am focusing on these base game hats!
afbodyParkaboots and ambodyParkaboots replaced with @mdpthatsme 4t2 Snowsuit outfit.
This is a default replacement, so you can only have one in game at a time. These files are two separate files, so you can pick and choose if you only want one or the other. Colors are replaced with similar options.
Over on MTS I have just uploaded a whole default replacement set! This is a replacement for all dining chairs and tables. Please see the thread for more details! Enjoy!
Here is the link to the MTS thread! Â
Thanks to @platinumaspiration for help with the some of the tables, @teaaddictyt for helping me choose what to replace with what, @hugelunatic and @tvickiesims for allowing me to spam them with images!â
ShortSleeveCollar (EM) replaced with @deedee-sims 3t2 Shokoninioâs Alphabet Jacket, @moocha-muses double-plumbob Tweed Vests, @deedee-simsâ Yakumtsakiâs 3t2 Leafy Shirt,  @rented-space Double Knit Sweater, and @deedee-sims Whysimâs 4t2 Rope Basic Turtlenecks
This is done ahhhâŠ. Super happy with this! If you combine with my other elder male top set here instead of 2 shirt types with 23 varieties (why, Maxis, whyâŠ), you should have seven. Hope youâre having a good Friday!
