I have so many edits to share and Idk where to start, so, why not start with the bare minimum a stove?
This is the halo stove from pet stories (from here), but with clear glass! Meant to be used alongside @stinkyunicorn's clear glass defaults and slig's clear windows. This is how it originally looked:
That's turquoise!
Other edits I know of are @shastakiss' cottage build + roof-thingies, @dramallamadingdang's manor house table and @tvickiesims holy smoke stairs.
Compressed and no mipmaps as usual!

Edit 2026-07-20: please re-download! I edited the price ($21000 -> $1200)

[TS2] Improved Lot Skirt Shader (WIP)
Overview
Hi everyone! This is an experimental (WIP) mod that makes lot skirts in TS2 looking like neighborhood terrain. TSCS inspired me to create this mod; as far as you remember, TSCS has visible neighborhood decals from lot view. It is set in assembly code so that TSCS lot skirts use neighborhood techniques for mapping. Original TS2 doesn't have such functionality. LD attempted to immitate that via fake neighborhood deco but it was created for particular terrains only. So I decided to attempt editing lot skirt shader and got some results; it adds cliffs, rough and meduim stages and improves shores from lot view! Though it is not perfect as it has some misconsistency with lighting (original lot skirts also do) and doesn't repeat the neighborhood terrain mapping but I think it's more practical than neighborhood deco. Hope you like it!
Features
Adds neighborhood decals (cliffs, rough and medium terrain) to lot skirts. Decals are also visible with snow states. No blue snow fix and sky fix are included. Works for every neighborhood automatically. Supports lighting mods (dusk and dawn states). Looks better with default replacements.
Installation
Put the .package file into your Downloads folder.
Compatibility
Incompatible with shader mods that modify lot skirts so rename the file adding "zzzz" prefix to make it load last to prevent conflicts if you use many shader mods. Doesn't conflict with other no blue snow mods that modify the rest shaders (roofs, lot terrain).
Known Issues
May look weird in dusk and dawn states using some lighting mods (still have no idea how to fix that). Seam between lot skirt and lot terrain (original TS2 lacks lot edge blend technique like in TSCS to make smooth transition between lot terrain and lot skirt). Lot imposter terrain paint may be invisible sometimes for unknown causes.
Terrain Types
Recently it has been discovered that it's possible to create new terrain types. My shader contains standard terrain types (temperate, desert, dirt and concrete) and uses dependence of textures on lot texture so if you add custom terrain types it's required for my shader to have added such dependencies otherwise my shader will look buggy for your custom terrain types (you are free to contact with me for more detailed information).

Functional Walking Pad for Cats The Sims 2
I can finally show this cc to everyone now, woohoo~
A cute pink treadmill/walking pad for my cats. Now, besides the spring toy, my girls have a new toy to play with :D.
This machine has two modes: Run and Walk with corresponding animations. The Fun bar will increase when the cats use it. You can manually cancel the action, or the cat will automatically stop when the Fun bar is full. Huge thanks to @jacky93sims for helping me fix this bug and for fixing the BHAV file for me <3~
I hope you all like this CC, and I hope there will be more custom objects for Pets in the future :D

Garden of Shadows: a preservation effort
Like many of us, I grew up with Garden of Shadows. To me, it was more than just a forum. It was a place I could ask for help, learn new skills and, best of all, find amazing content in any style I could possibly want. I loved the board names, the people, the themes; everything, really.
And I admit I was more than a little heartbroken to find it gone.
After mulling it over, I decided that I wanted to preserve what I possibly could. I spent a few hours yesterday running through strategies and ideas about how to best go about it, and the best I could come up with was, well, exactly the same.
So, here it is: the Garden of Shadows mirror forum.
I've only just started, but I hope to add a little bit to it every day. The primary focus will be on preserving all the knowledge and custom content. I'm tackling it myself, but if you feel so inclined, you're more than welcome to join in.
