9 Midcentury Posters on Crisps&Kerosene’s World of Wonder mesh.
If you are interested at all in graphic design, you have to check out the Letterform Archive, which has an amazing collection of stuff. These posters are all from different type specimens, posters and typewriter manuals they’ve posted (to which I edited).
They’re on C&K’s World of Wonder wall art mesh, which is so good. I’m including the mesh in the download, but you should really check out C&K’s so you can get all the recolors of the frame.
We've all been there. Our sim is out having a lovely time with some friends, perhaps family, or a whole frat worth of loose acquaintances. They are hungry, they want to eat.
And somehow by the end your Sim has to foot the bill for the whole affair. Hardly seems fair, does it? I mean how often do you go around paying for everyone when you eat out? Nah. I am tired of my poor newcomers in town trying to make friends only to end up with a 8 people restaurant bill to cover on their meager salary. Clearly it is not my fault for making food more expensive resulting in 800+ bills (😇) but the lack of manners in sim-restaurants not providing a means to split the cost 😤 No more!
With this mod, the restaurant podium (*) will now give you the option of splitting the bill. Can be used on dates as well as outings, though it only shows up if there are non-household members taking part in the meal. If there are any such, the podium will give you the option to only pay a fair share of the total bill, corresponding to the % your sims make up out of the total. In the example above, only one sim out of 4 was part of the household, so the sim is given the option to pay 25% of the bill. If two sims had been household members, it would have been 50%, and so on. (**)
(*) Will not apply to custom podiums without a tweak, more info under the cut.
(**) Only active household pays, the remainder of the bill is negated entirely. If you play a strictly regulated economy, your restaurant will earn less when you use this option. To track exactly what you ate, or force payment from multiple source is both overly complicated and more conflict-prone, and I do not personally think it is worth the effort here. If you run OFB restaurants, just don't use the option in those.

Conflicts: None that I know of. Does not conflict with Lamare's reservable tables 😊 Edits TTABs of the maxis podiums, action strings and pay bill action/guardian interactions in the semi-global, and adds one custom bhav to the semi-global.
Credits: @episims who when I was frustrated about this in my game pointed out it probably wouldn't be too hard to fix, and what do you know it wasn't. Thank you for being my second opinion and pointing out I can do more than I myself think I can :P Love ya buddy 🥰 @grilledcheese-aspiration who was kind enough to do some tests for me, much appreciated! @kashmiresims who kindly agreed to take previews for me since my game is in Swedish and the text would not have made a lot of sense to most of you :3 Her sims are lucky they don't get my kind of bills! 😁
Editing custom podiums
Due to how Maxis set up the menus of podiums, it was necessary to tweak the TTAB to alter which interaction is used which means custom podiums are not impacted. It is however a super easy fix that anyone can do, so if you have a custom podium you would like to fix this is how you do it. Locate your package and follow the steps.
I think most everyone with a custom podium are likely to be using Sunni's partly invisible version, and since I know some people do not like touching SimPE however easy it seems to me, I figured I'd include an edited version.
It comes with a bonus fix that shifts the podium ever so slightly forward, to prevent the routing stomping protests the host gives if you place it on grid over a counter. If you have previously placed podiums you want to apply this routing fix to, please note it is a CRES edit which means the item has to be cleared from lot and re-purchased in order to actually update.

If you have edited yours to add custom foods to the menu, or even just missing maxis foods, and you want the routing fix, I recommend extracting and importing your edited bcons :)
Credits: Sunni for the great idea of a partly invisible podium, it is indeed far more versatile just as she intended
Sims 2 Mod: Less Badge Requirements for Manager Promotions
In Open for Business, an Employee must have 5 ‘Badge Points’ in order to be eligible for a promotion to manager. I think this promotion requirement is too steep. A Bronze Badge is worth 1 Badge Point, a Silver Badge is worth 2 Badge Points, and a Gold Badge is worth 3 Badge Points.
This mod simply reduces the requirement from 5 badge points to 3 so now the minimum requirement would be either 3 Bronze Badges, 1 Silver Badge and 1 Bronze Badge or 1 Gold Badge.
Wall set from 8th Deadly Sim (here / here), edited both to have moulding (texture from Donnha) and to be the standard 256x512 wall size as they were originally 256x768.
18 walls total, categorized as Wallpaper. 8DS's set has way more walls than that, I just kept it simple and narrowed it down to my favorites.
Hi Eulalia! :) I have a WCIF if you don't mind. It's from an older post but WCIF the yellow & green woven/rattan chair from /post/683436118790848512/?
I don't mind wcifs from older posts at all, though it might take me longer to get to them if I need to load my other CC folder. :) Luckily in this instance, I knew that was a 4t2 chair:
It was converted by Nuttydazesublime from the laundry day stuff pack. I don't know what these chairs have to do with laundry, tbh, EA. I guess you could sit in them while you're waiting at the laundromat.
I love @alienpod's 4t2 Mailbox Default, and I wanted to give it a makeover in my color palettes (Lunamoth metals for the box, @morepopcorn's woods for the post, and Sugar Rush colors for both). As usual you can get just the recolors if you use another version of this mailbox...
Download Recolors
- OR -
... you can get an edit of with the textures swapped out for a mix of options (see first screenshot) with the rest included as recolors. Also I think I got the hood view and lot imposters working? Let me know if you run into issues!
Download Default + Recolors
NOTE: To update the hood view for existing lots, you need to go into the lot, make an edit, save it, and return to hood view.
My (first) contribution to this collab after not converting anything in over a year - and also my first time converting on Linux!
This is Sheabuttyr's Mel, the files have been compressorized.
I have only made a version for adults and elders as I tend to use fancy updos like this very rarely on teens and younger, but since this is a collab, everyone is welcome to make an age conversion (or any other tweaks and edits)! You can find the spreadsheet for the collab here. And of course let me know if something is wrong, like I said, it has been a while.

Requested hair conversions part 1! So sorry that this took such a long time to share since I've made the wip post - I had to tweak a lot of stuff and learn again some stuff about converting that I've already forgotten ^^'... and I also started doing a clothing conversion and I hate bones assignments very much </3, especially when you figure out that maybe that's not bones assignments fault that something it's out of place, and maybe it's just the way you placed the mesh itself on the body but still you're like 65% sure that's the reason. ANYWAY! HERE ARE THE DOWNLOAD LIKS FOR THE HAIRS AND LIL BIT OF INFO FOR THEM:
'Jane' (male/female, tf-ef, 24k poly) MALE DL | FEMALE DL
'Lady in waiting' (female, cf-ef, 12k poly) DOWNLOAD
'Muse' (female, tf-ef, 19k tiara ver, 17k no tiara ver) TIARA | NO TIARA
'Clarice Bun v3' (female, cf-ef, 12k poly) DOWNLOAD
I used a tile floor from Portal, added the tactile textures and made it yellow. Includes directional blocks and warning blocks. Both floors are merged into one file.
@lamare-sims made a lot of great updates for the transformer cribs HERE .
To celebrate this I have a new transformer crib/toddler bed. This is the Haffa Malm set made by @klaartjesimblr.
This set works the same as Honeywells Haffa cribs. With use of the quartertile cheat you can put the cribs and the changingtable exactly next to each other.
This new transformercrib is a 2-in-1 crib/toddler bed. Just one click on the bed to convert it from one model to another. The crib can be used for babies and toddlers, the toddler bed is for toddlers only. They can use the toddler bed by themselves. It has a new guide, so if you want you can keep both the cribs.
Because this set is repo'd to the Malm set in game you need the IKEA pack.
Download : SFS
Klaartjes set with the changingtable (2 versions) is on GOS, and since GOS is down for some time I'll reupload it here, until GOS is working again, or till Klaartje reupload it herself. Thank you Klaartje for this great set!

Animated TS2 cc seatings (edits / add-ons) that I've shared so far. All of these have seat morph animation.
TNW 3t2Boudoir Loveseat • Download (SFS) - mesh only, I recommend Kilim recolors by Riekus
TNW 4t2Violetta Victoria's Loyal Sofa • Download (SFS) contains original 4t2 recolours *archive updated to include add-on chair (12), which requires CEP Extra for Luxiary King Armchair
Yolartut TVOEC Chair & recolours • Download (SFS)
Zecutime Sofa add-on & recolours • Download on MTS or here (SFS)
BuggyBooz Craftsman Chair • Download (SFS) - mesh only
*4t2 Rhodium Bean Bag comes with my edits of 4 recolours by @needlecream that I use in my game (Terracotta shown in the pic) - I edited TXMT settings to remove the shine.
*Klippan add-on preview features this cushion recolour (MTS) .
A tutorial on adding morphs to seatings can be found here.
The fridge model is by KKB, TS4 original can be found here. It was converted to TS2 by Pixelry / @thimblesims - please note original 4t2 recolors feature English fonts, so if you're not into that, check out @episims ' texture edits.
More info under the cut:
Preview above shows my edit of original 4t2 texture with Simlish fonts* and bright fridge interior
(please note I've only edited mesh texture. If you download original 4t2 recolors, or edits by Epi, those have dark fridge interior, but it looks a little bit better since my lightpattern brightens it)
/*I think all these fonts are by Franzilla/
Changes to the mesh file:
Moved joint, door don't float in the air when opened, repositioned hand slots
note: opening action is still awkward, some hand / arm clipping going on.
Edited model shape to make it less deep so Sims' heads don't sink into the upper part
Lowered food slot (food shows up on a shelf, and not floating above)
Food separated into "Contents" subset and made recolourable
"fridgemoderatestainless_transparent" subset (shelves) merged with the fridge subset
Added floor / wall shadows and glowing lightpattern inside a fridge
Edited fridge texture, English captions replaced with Simlish, edited fridge interior parts.
Added 256x256 px specular map to main recolor (adds shine to the fridge while cloth and decor stays matte)
Edited Price, from 100 S to 800 S
Edited file name
*I made the "contents" recolourable as last minute idea, and added one recolor for it (as a double-state subset, "contents" already have MMAT).
When the fridge is empty, and you switch recolors, it will reset the empty state visuals. Also, quite possibly re-filling empty fridge will reset food recolor to default.
Textures, including a plain version of various colors, and PSD with layers, can be found here (SFS) or here (BOX)
I used DXT1a for recolors (aside from black), so if you wish to keep this format, use YaPe editor to preview / replace textures, 'cuz SimPe has issues with it.
Note: I recommend using SimPe DXT3 / DXT5 for textures with dark colors, if quality is important.
A mix of things - mini table sign add-on for Mr Generic Sign, two wooden stands, XL version of Tibetan Desk (three tiles long), condiments basket plus recolors for NL napkin holder aka "A Bit of This And That".
Wooden donation box has a recolorable 'note' subset, box part pulls textures from Cozy Colonial Endtable, I recommend to use it with these recolors by @goatskickin .
I also threw in my dark brass handle replacement for Tibetan Desk.
