💌 | Forget about sims, lets learn about YOU! Tell us one fact about yourself, and then send this to 5 other Simblrs to do the same 👽

Hello! Aww, thank you for your interest! Well, I have a Master's degree in Law, and I spent a pair of years of my life as a lawyer. The topic of my master's thesis was the Fair Use doctrine vs Corporate Copyright, so I used the unique opportunity to analyze the TS2 EULA for the sake of science :D Despite almost 7 years of education, I hope I will never have to be a lawyer again!

Also here is a nice pic of me from my graduation:

Curiously, in my game, the lamps do not respond to the "break" debug function. I had to restore it in my mod by changing the table lamp globals.

Your issue might be related or then not, but one thing about the break debug function is that it refuses to work if the game is paused when the interaction is chosen.

It constantly drives me crazy as I always pause the game for queueing interactions. I don't even notice it! Before breaking the object fails ten times, that is.

Lowedeus's Updated Clean and Empty Neighborhood Templates for More International Languages Support

Remember the Clean And Empty Neighborhood Templates I released like 4 years ago?

Apparently, the base game and the first add-ons (University and Nightlife) were released later in some countries, out of sync with international releases. That's why some languages, that present in local licensed versions of TS2, weren't included in my original templates. This is true for Hungarian and Russian.

So, the amazing @lowedeus fixed the resources of the BG hoods, universities and Downtown subhoods with the resources from his licensed copy of TS2 to add support for the missing languages.

You can find his updated clean and empty templates here! Other than the language strings, nothing has changed though. :) Thanks a bunch, @lowedeus for your hard work! It's greatly appreciated! <3

As always, happy simming! :) Note: Templates since OFB already include these languages. It's just the early TS2 games that had missing language strings for some languages.

Soon.. I hope.

Hi Shasta! Has your castaway pines been defaulted?

Hi! Yes, they have! @lowedeus defaulted them with slightly different better snowy textures but I haven’t been able to find their post for a while now. I re-uploaded them here but I will remove them if Lowedeus asks (hello Lowedeus!)

I am so, so excited for Feverview. Every time you post a picture of it, I just can't stop grinning. Are you planning on making community/residential lots to go with the deco buildings? Will there be premade families? Thanks for making this!! I can't wait!!             

Thanks, anon! I’ve almost turned myself towards adding at least a couple of lots to Feverfew release, but definitely not going to add any premade families because it would take forever.

Will you be sharing all of the neighborhood deco even though it's made for the neighborhood you're working on

Of course! All the exclusive neighborhood decorations will be released as part of the Feverfew neighborhood release, but there will be an option for a separate download for all featured items.

You know the bridges that come with neighborhoods in the sims 2? They are brick with green railings. Has anyone released some kind of mod or hack for get rid of them? Is it possible? Do you know?             

As fas as I’m aware, there’s no invisible/transparent nhood bridge defaults. But there’s two options. There’s a cheat that turns off bridges in neighborhood and, the second option you have is this.

alexbgd replied to your photo “This one Tumbleton lot keeps crashing soon after I have my family rent...”

I'm sure its some mod..

That was my first thought. But I ended up testing it in my test AnyGame which has barely any CC at all (and nothing apartment related); still the same crash.

  Do you still use your edit of cyjon's Townies as Apartment Residents?    

Nope. I have Nopke’s, which I took out to no avail.

Further testing in the low cc AnyGame: I managed to move a sim into the right apartment, but trying for the left one always crashes. At this point, it’s pretty obvious that the lot itself is corrupted. Oh well :P

Edit: I moved the furniture from one apartment’s bedroom to the other - this lead to the right-side apartment being the one to crash. Now I’m going to try and delete all this furniture to see if it solves the problem because god dammit, I’m wanna get to the end of this haha

I had some free time recently and instead of finishing my the Sims 3 world, I went on a downloading spree and got every great neighborhood deco for the Sims 2 from @criquette-was-here @lowedeus and @greatcheesecakepersona simblrs. Thank you for sharing!

I decorated only a tiny corner, there will be couple of farms and farmers market. Pleasantview never looked so gorgeous before.
