I have been seeing a lot of posts speculating about the upcoming release of the Sims 1 and Sims 2. I have a lot of mixed feelings about it, I would like it to run better on newer systems but I don’t trust EA to do it well. And I don’t like the launcher they use at all.

As far as I know, all information is based on a leak. I wish EA would clarify if they are planning a rerelease and if so, what actual changes were made to the game if any. Will they come with patches? Is it just being updated to run on 64bit or will they be adjusting the code in other ways? Will it come with the extra creation tools like Bodyshop?

One of my biggest concerns though? That the code is modified just enough that current CC for these games don’t work anymore. Sims 1 CC can be hard to find nowadays (so much was lost) but Sims 2 is still being played and has an active community of creators and modders. I would hate for a lot of stuff to become more difficult to access because of it.

I hope we get more information soon about it.

Weird SimPE question time!

Has anyone else had issues with SimPE while on a dual-monitor setup? I've noticed that I can't click on tabs (Like trying to switch between Plugin View and Object Workshop) unless it's on a specific monitor. It's kind of annoying and I don't know why it's doing that.

I may have a slight issue with focus.

Sim Goals for 2025

The past few months have been quiet for me, the holidays took a lot of my time away from the computer to spend with family and friends. But being away from the computer also gives me time to reflect about what I have done and what I would like for the future. So, I want to share a little about what I hope to do in the coming year.

Defaults:

I will keep working on defaults; especially on defaulting objects and UI elements. I have quite a few projects that are in various states of finish and I would like to get them done before I get into the more complicated projects I have brewing.

My hope is that I can make some defaults for lights/lamps for sims who don't use electricity.

Custom Content:

Another big goal is to expand my skill set for creating custom content. I have slowed down on it for a while because I got focused on defaulting for Kynsbern, but my list of ideas has slowly been building on ideas that I would love to figure out.

I also want to do a lot more hair retextures; specifically in PMG V4 and my amphitrite genetic hairs. I especially want to do the PMG hairs since I use them for Kynsbern and my current hair selection pool feels limited.

Gameplay:

I will continue to update Kynsbern, hopefully on a much better schedule. I really love my medieval-fantasy hood and look forward to sharing more of it.

I also want to restore Briar Glen to playable form. I already have ideas about ways to improve it such as adding baby faces and new traits/mods.

I really wish I could figure out how to make custom hair bins work so they are selectable for all ages. I think I finally got the hairs familied in a way that allows the Sim to age up with the proper grey hair without losing the ability to pick the hairs in CAS/Bodyshop with the elder lifestage.

Just need to make a bunch of additional hairs in Amphitrite and my other hair colors to make sure it wasn't a fluke, but its progress.

Edit: Well... technically the elders don't keep their unnatural hair. I tried to switch it but it is staying grey. But it is still progress.

[es-sims]

I never really noticed how the Sims 2 made masculine/feminine Sims so different until I tried testing to see if any of the hair meshes I already have work for both.

It's very frustrating, especially cause I found one that works with only a tiny amount of clipping with the eyebrows.
