can you please try to upload the sim with a mouth on its forehead? (i think you can use simfileshare but idk) -jack
Hey I haven't tried uploading Sims this way before (I followed a Pleasant Sims tutorial to do this,) so hopefully this will work but I uploaded Tia to my google drive:
I removed her hair since the hair she was using was custom content. I think this process just uploads the appearance without most of the data, but since the appearance itself is corrupt I'm not sure how that will effect hoods you add her too. Might just corrupt her own genetic line. Really not sure lol.
Below is a list of custom content used in the Blightgate neighbourhood. I tested it without the downloaded stuff and you can probably get away without downloading the skins, hair and eyes since it will replace them with defaults and it also removes some of the cars and replaces some of them with Maxis cars but I would recommend downloading all the lots mentioned from modthesims especially the occupied ones and community lots, as they look very odd without some of the necessary custom content.

Hi!! i’m a huge fan of your youtube channel :) made me get back into TS2 after years of not playing it.
I recreated Vladimira Tucker from Blightgate in The Sims 4 :D (sorry if it’s not entirely accurate, I tried to reference it off the hybrid pet sims video)
Thank you and I love this. Now she can do some crazy experiments in The Sims 4 world too (or not since she's ambiguously evil lol.)
Funnily enough around the time Blightgate got corrupted I'd just started playing The Sims 2 again after about a decade of just playing The Sims 3 and a bit of The Sims 4.
I randomly decided to reinstall it one day and then made a custom hood and a couple of months or so later I noticed the corruption lol. I used to play the game a lot in the 2000s but nothing like that ever happened.
So it's been forever but I finally finished this video which features the maze I was working on before as well as a bunch of other stuff.
It is a very long video (almost 2 hours.) Some gameplay parts ended up being a lot longer than I thought they would be, and there are also a bunch of cutscenes, but I didn't want to separate it into multiple videos. I have added a bunch of timestamps though.
I’m still piecing together the storyline for my next video. Initially I was going to create some kind of compilation video with funny clips from past videos since I recently hit 5000 subscribers on YouTube (if you’re subscribed to my channel thanks for subscribing! 😊) So I wanted to do something a bit different before moving onto my next game NPC video since it’s a milestone. Also I was going to start building the NPC museum I mentioned in my last video.
So if you plan on watching the video I’ll probably be covering everything here in that video anyway. Also I posted some of this on twitter before yesterday. I just felt like rambling about my ideas and mods I’m looking at lol.
Somehow this morphed from museum though to ‘dream world where Rod Humble’s computer stash is really located.’ So I started building this as a subhood for Blightgate. It’s called z_¦¦S•e•¦¦D••¦o¦¦••N¦¦ªa••¦¦¦• based on the Sedona hood which was scrapped by Maxis at some point in development but still has the hood template + references in game files + a flythrough.) I wanted to use a glitch text editor to make some weird looking names for all the lots but The Sims 2 can’t display that text so I just kind of used random characters that would show up instead.
There’s a train station lot (which I downloaded from mts a while ago called Simton Railway Station it’s actually a really great lot outside of what I’m using it for right now haha.) Then I found this awesome effects collection by Sophie-David so I could actually have trains running through!
When I was working on my Don Lothario Machinima I realised that lots placed close to the edge of the world in Strangetown have this kind of fading effect where they disappear into the sky. This was pretty great for Vidcund’s dream sequence but also in this case allowed me to have the train kind of floating off.
So there’s a kind of backrooms maze type lot I’m working on too here and one of the rooms is kind of an gnome room. So I was looking through more of Sophie-David's mods because they have some more magical effects I haven’t added yet but I think would look cool. And then I noticed they had a mod called ‘Gnome of Protection’ which is so funny and has lots of uses(including summoning a gnome guardian that intercepts burglars, repo-men and Mrs Crumplebottom,) but it also can stop Sims from stealing the Gnomes to quote:
“Basegame gnomes may still be stolen, but potential perpetrators will typically be distracted to come and admire the Gnome of Protection instead of committing gnome theft. As a side effect, these Sims will gain just enough Niceness points to prevent them from stealing gnomes in the future."
haha love that so much. I was having an issue with Sims stealing the gnomes in the gnome room lol so I might have to add one of those instead of just locking the door which is less interesting.
The entrance (will be adding more effects/changing some things later):
I’m trying to find ways to incorporate more Blightgate characters into the storyline too and obviously Victor is still technically on a mission to find Rod Humble’s computer source to become a full member of the Shadow crime family since Rod keeps escaping him. I remembered that I actually have a more minor character who lives with her friends who actually came to Blightgate in the hope of setting up a museum so this seems like the perfect time to cover that household.
I’ve said this before but I headcannon the universal NPC’s as being cryptid type beings that can travel between worlds. So they kind of come from a magical location in the game files and aren’t rooted in any of the neighbourhoods regular Sims live in. Well besides the ones that have temporarily moved into spaces in my game like Mrs Crumplebottom lives in Blightgate for now.
Hello, calipers and tongs I really admire your videos and was wondering if you have a download of blight gate I could have?
Hey, I do have a couple of downloadable versions. They are missing some of the characters and lots I added later on though like Garfield and his lasagne restaurant, and I also think there are some issues with certain family members not being related who should be, and other stuff not being set up correctly like the Sims memories which kind of bothers me now lol. I also think I left some insimenator objects on one lot (I'm not sure which version ended up getting uploaded because I was looking at a copy a few months ago and noticed a few issues but it might not be the same copy.) One day I might go and fix a bunch of stuff and reupload but for the time being I've been a bit lazy about that.
So there are two versions one is the story version. This version has most of the Sims and lots etc. If you download this you'll need the CC and lots from the list below as well:
Blightgate (story version) - Google Drive

This next version is the same hood but completely empty (the original Sims are downtownies,) in case you want to look at the corrupted stuff but cba downloading all the custom content and lots:
