Sims 2 - Making tall buildings actually playable

I've always hated how the camera jumps up and down when playing tall and slim buildings. Turns out, it's really easy to fix! It’ll take you less than a minute. All the details under the cut.

All it takes is opening the LiveCamera.txt file in your Documents>Cameras folder with a text editor and changing these two parameters near the bottom to a higher value. Doesn’t matter if you're using a custom camera mod or not. Those parameters should be there. I have set mine like this (remember to save a backup just in case you don't like these changes).

It might seem a bit extreme, but I still think it’s fine.

-The top parameter, floorheightsamplerange, handles how much the floors “extend out”, so the camera object can stand on it mid-air. The higher it is, the further the floor will extend. This will make it so your camera will be able to stick to the floor you’re on, even if you pan away from the building. No more annoying jumps up and down!

-The parameter below that, floorheightsampleinnerrange, handles the transition between sticking to the current floor and dropping to the ground level once it goes past the edge. The higher it is, the smoothest the fall will be.

I’ll note though that the behaviour of these parameters might not be 100% accurate with how the game actually works, but from what I tested I think it’s pretty close as an explanation. If someone knows better how this Live Camera works, please let me know and I’ll try my best to correct any inaccuracies.

Save the .txt file and check how it works in game. It might feel weird at first, but personally I find it so much smoother and easier to handle. If you’re not happy with these values, close the game and edit those parameters until you find your sweet spot. Unfortunately, you will have to close and open the game every time you change it to check how it works.

There’s so many cool Custom Camera mods out there that I thought it’s probably better to just show how to edit those 2 parameters than editing and reuploading all of them.

So yeah, that’s it. Now you can play those tall lots without getting a headache. Go ahead and send your college simmies to that hideous Sim State Tower with a hot tub on top of it. Now you’ll be able to see what’s going on up there.

Baby Pattern Crib Beddings

So I got this ask about using patterns from a 4t2 conversion to make crib beddings. I tried, but I only managed to find 7 of them, so that's what I used. I hope it's okay! The patterns are from Freepik and Vecteezy btw :)

SUNSHINEVILLE - Custom Neighborhood with a Mystery and Scripted Notifications [CC Free]

Neighborhood Description: Sunshineville is built on tradition and ambition. Generations of families live there, while newcomers continue to move in, looking for peace and baked goods. Little do they know about the reality of most residents, for whom reputation and pride are the highest values. How will the story of this town unfold?

Pluto-Harmony They say "age is just a number," but Billy's daughter thought otherwise. When she learned his new girlfriend was younger than her, she cut him off completely. Can this fractured family ever mend the damage and reconnect?

Pluto Freyas ex-husband used to provide the family's income, so after the divorce money became tight. Her daughter Ruth is planning to move out as soon as possible. Will they ever stop arguing and start cooperating?

Sunshine Family comes first for the Sunshines, but everything might change when Travis's new partner enters the picture. Will the conflict between their kids hurt this family?

Bugg How long can an arranged marriage last? Apparently long enough to raise teenagers, but are their hearts truly in it? Will Scarlett and Spencer remain loyal to each other, even when people from their past come back into their lives?

Safeman Charlie Snowdrop was presumed dead after a few years of his dissapearence, but Leah will never stop questioning what really happened to him. Her husband William wants her to move on and focus more on their daughter. Will Leah ever find out what really happened to her brother?

Ladrones The Ladrones run the town's most popular bakery. The tradition says the oldest child should take over the business, but Noah doesn't seem interested. Also, it seems Tina has a secret, but she's really good at hiding it... or is she?

Lamoré Who is Dean Lamoré? What was the true reason behind his previous marriage? Will he ever find a way to come back to his ex-girlfriend, who happens to be his missing best friend's sister?

Wood Dandelion was happy on his own, but now that Daffodil is by his side, life feels even brighter! Can this newlywed couple keep the spark alive and maintain a happy, lasting relationship?

The Vroom Set from Seasons doesn't have a lot of recolors* out there, but now it has 14 more!

There are TWO meshes in this upload - first, this 1-tile dresser: the PitStop Dresser aka dressersmallracecar.

And second, I have done recolors of the Vroom! Armoire aka amoiresmallracecar. The dresser and the armoire have separate textures - but they all do match.

I don't like the wood textures for this one as much, but Maxis meshes have their limits so I'll have to accept it.

For the wood colors: I am using Dynamite, Depth Charge, Shrapnel, Safety Fuse and Time Bomb by @pooklet, and Nesert and Honey by Io aka @serabiet.

plus a yellow-y ‘Ikea’ recolor from AL as the base. And, 6 metal colors from Fallout 4 (green, blue, red, 2 greys and one black)! Thanks to however extracted those and shared them on GoS a long time ago.

See these cool seating meshes though? Those are by @hugelunatic and they are repo'd to these recolors.

You can get a version of the sofa, chair and couch that are also repo'd to the Jonsei blanket here

and a version that are not repo'd to the Jonesi blanket here

you can get the Vroom bookcase (my personal favorite) here

and there's a single and double bed too! here

[who-killed-bella-goth]

in the interest of nostalgia, here are some mods i've found to restore old game behavior that was removed or changed by updates.

mean interactions for any age - removed in OFB. anyone else remember booting up the game and seeing lilith duke it out with her parents?

kill visiting playables - self-explanatory. removed in seasons.

fewer hobby wants - to keep FT wants from cannibalizing the older wants.

no pet obsession - same as above, but for pets wants.

no shade eyes salute - removes the salute added in M&G.

let me know if there are any i've missed!

🎨 Art Club Creations: 6 *custom* Hand-Painted Masterpieces by Child Sims

Not sure if this will be useful for anyone else, but I’m currently building an elementary school & I want to have an Art Club for the kidos in my BACC so I’ve become a little obsessed with adding custom paintings to the game. So I figured, why not share?

🖼️ Included:

Pink Cat Sun won't you come and wash away the rain?

Splooshed Pingu

Sticky Hand Bouquet (perfect for Mother’s Day!)

Watercolour Beach

Watercolour Beach 2 (yeah, not the most creative names…)

Watercolour Flower

📂 Installation: Drop the files into: Documents\EA Games\The Sims™ 2\Paintings Not the downloads folder!

🎨 Credits:

@burhankapkiner for the Pingu design

TextureLabs for the fabric overlay (I used this to give the paintings a slightly worn, low-quality canvas feel, just like real kid art projects!)

📎 Download: Google Drive (This is my first time doing/sharing anything like this so please feel free to point out any issues).

I thought elders could use some randomness in their final fate. Made 3 semi-random events for them:

live longer

die early

get sick

Early death branches into:

sudden "heart attack" followed by - death by fright, or - death by drowning if they happened to be swimming at the time

decreased age duration followed by death of old age the next day or so

At first, it was going to be sort of a coin flip once a day deciding whether a playable elder dies prematurely, or gets an additional day of life, or keeps living for the allotted time. Turned out a little more detailed and configurable

Sickness is not as impactful, just something to highlight old age problems. It's a maxis style disease curable by soup and rest (thinking of realistic medical conditions made me sad and I stopped)

Pointless keyboard shortcut in The Sims 2

If you hold Control and Alt while placing objects on walls, you can place many objects in the same tile. It's like a moveobjects on but only for objects on walls and with no cheats. I haven't used it in years, but just saying, it is an option.

I don't think it's advertised in the game, only in the apartment life readme.

Edit: i meant Control and Alt, not Control and Shift.

Homework Default Replacements

Something different today! I've had default replacements for the teen&YA homework for some time, but I was never able to find ones for the children homework that I liked, so I decided to make my own! But while I was making them I liked them so much that I decided to make teen&YA ones too! Bonus! ✨

The top four are the children defaults, images from freepik. The bottom four are the teen, images from @sim-saurus. I made tiny edits to change any English text to Simlish. The blue teen one also replaces the YA one, which is why it's pretty non-descript in terms of what subject the homework could be for. I also did the writing on the insides. The child one says "My favorite thing about this subject is that today I learned how to" and the teen one I went into a whole lil essay about how much fun I was having creating these and how my cat was making me very warm. I then put a page break and had a teacher take 2 points off the top section because my essay wasn't academic enough 😂 which is something I got told all throughout college

Files are compressorized, and remember to remove any other homework defaults you may have before using these. I made them as separate packages in case you wanted to use the child but not the teen or viceversa, or to mix n match with another default.
