THE MISSING SIMS FROM 1 and 4 (Custom Stealth Hood)
This has been a long time in the works. @profesionalpartyguest has probably stopped talking to me over it; @justwierzba has probably forgotten about it (and me); and @knut-rocketman has probably stopped caring about it, if they ever did.
This is a custom Stealth hood, with some townies, and a lot of ancestors, containing sims from The Sims, and The Sims 4. It also has lots for 7/9 families, including the families which you care about the most. For myself I call it Caldera Lessaules.
Continued below the cut:
From Neighborhood 1 we have the Roomies (bless their sapphic souls). From Old Town we have Claire Charming, and the Hicks. We also have the Snooty Patooties, because they’re iconic and someone had a headcanon.
From The Sims 4 we introduce 3 families from my Willow Creek - Pancakes, BFFs, and Spencer-Kim-Lewis - including the all important Lydia Spencer (she’s a townie). Also say hi to the Sims 4 Roomies (the New Girl spoofs), the only original family in Oasis Springs (unless you count Johnny Zest, but he’s all tied up with the Landgraabs). We also have the Harris family from Eco Living Newcrest Harbour whatever that pack and town are called.
But don’t just think I’ve left you with families with nowhere to live, there's lots too!
The Pancakes, BFFs, SKLs, and Sims 4 Roomies have the strict recreations-within-limitations - without CC - you know and love from Willow Creek. The Cacti Casa is a new recreation for this hood, the others are cleaned exports from Willow Creek.
For the Sim Lane Roomies, say hello to my labour of love ✨inspired✨ recreation of 10 Sim Lane. It has Foundations! The floor and wall coverings are close calls to the original. Claire Charming and the Hicks have their houses also recreated with Foundations. I found all three Sims 1 recreations really fun to build, and I love how their energies have translated across, especially for the Hicks’ Trailer and 10 Sim Lane. There is also an additional variant of Claire’s House I made for personal reasons.
The Snooty Patooties and the Harris family’s houses haven't been recreated - the latter because I don’t actually own the EP, the former because I would have to base it off of Marka93’s as I have no clue how to get the Downloadable Sims into my Sims 1 game. Besides, they’re added extras, just slip them into your Main Hood, Viper Canyon, Downtown, Bin Lots, it's up to your imagination! Feel free to export the lots and plop them in your main hoods, or just delete the subhood, its fine, I guess…
I hope you enjoy this labour of hate and love. Its an essential ingredient in my own Uberhoods. I genuinely miss these sims - especially the Sims 1 ones - so much in my games otherwise.
Special Thanks :
This version of “Caldera Lessaules” is officially a testing version, however nothing core is expected to change. That said, make a backup before adding it to your game. I am not responsible if your savefile becomes a BFBVFS and you don't have a backup. I may decide to add or tweak things in the hood, like ancestors, additional townies, etc, or roll-out fixes if people find errors which I haven’t picked up, but please do not hold off downloading if this is something which you'd think you'd love!
The creators mentioned in the first paragraph made most of the ancestors between them. ProfesionalPartyGuest also made the Harrises. Without them my hood would be ancestorless, which depending on if you care about Character File Count, is a good or a bad thing.
KIDS AND TEENS TOWNIE POOL!!
this is a shopping district containing 24 townies (6 male teens, 6 female teens, 6 female children, 6 male children) ready for your usage!
these were requested by my friends @veronaviile and @average-vidcund-enjoyer (shout out to the latter, who was obsessed with my takemizu townies).
Enjoy! download link here!
install if by putting it in the neighborhoodtemplate folder in the OFB folder/ Best of Business folder
Included is a townie subhood with 16 sims: 4 teen girls, 4 teen boys, 4 child boys, 3 child girls, and 1 nonbinary child. (Counted as a female sim, but I'd really appreciate if you played them as nonbinary in your own game. They are the child with the meg hairstyle doing moose ears in the preview, and it's also noted in their bio.)
This hood was inspired by @profesionalpartyguest's own teen and child pool. Which I suggested. But here's my own - we really need more teen and child options!
Sims have unique Pooklet'd faces, diverse genetics and recessives, extreme personalities, and preset gender preferences. I also took a page out of @plumbtales' book and gave all of the teens cell phones.
WARNING: You NEED creaturefixes for this townie pack. One of the teenagers has human skin and alien eyes - if creaturefixes isn't installed, she will just have whatever eye color is painted onto your skintone, and trust me, she's kind of terrifying with them.
Installation instructions: Extract JUTW, find your TS2 installation folder, and place in Best of Business\EP3\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate if you have the UC, or The Sims 2 Open For Business\TSData\Res\NeighborhoodTemplate if you have discs. After you add the subhood, you can safely delete it.
MySims Townie Pool - Empty Subhood with 32 townies!
I've been wanting to make a townie pool with some of my favourite Rolands Town's characters for a while, and I finally did it! This is a townie pool: an empty suburb which you attach to your main neighborhood to add a group of townies.
Info and download under the cut
This townie pool includes 32 ADULT SIMS (16 female, 16 male) who are all based on MySims characters.
Here's a list of all the sims I've included: Poppy and Violet Nightshade, Rosalyn P. Marshall, Patrick Rhino, Buddy the Bellhop, Chef Gino, Dj Candy, Vincent Skullfinder, Elmira Clamp, Rhonda, Vic Vector, Clara Belle, Roxie Road, Stephen Albright, Gordon, Ray, Annie Radd, Flipper, Billy, Brandi, Odin Revolution, Jenny, Liberty, Barney Cull, Summer, Luke, Chaz McFreely, Sandra, Cedella, Raven, Edwin and Clayton Dander.
This townie pool was created with TS2 Ultimate Collection and it is CC-FREE, but I do have Fanseelamb's recategorizing mod for outerwear and richi3frogs's recategorizing mod for athletic wear. If you don't have these mods, some clothes in these two categories may be swapped with other ones.
I made two versions: one where all these sims are available in the Sims Bin, divided in 4 households, so that you can make them over and edit them to your liking before townifying them; in the other version they're already townified, but this means THEIR NAMES WILL BE RANDOMIZED! If you want to keep their names intact, grab the Sims Bin version! After you attach this subhood to a neighborhood, the townies will be added to either the sims bin or the townie pool, and you can safely delete the subhood.
