2 Roman Dresses

Hey everyone.

It’s been a while, I know. I’ve been struggling quite a bit with Body Shop and my *Sims 2* Orion version.

The result was that I couldn't open my game anymore, so I had to completely uninstall *Sims 2* from my PC and reinstall it—something I really wasn't looking forward to.

But then I focused on my *Sims 2 Legacy Edition* instead.

I got Body Shop and *The Sims 2 HomeCrafter Plus* running on it, as well as SimPE and HoodChecker.

And it works—or as we say in Dutch: *JOEPIE!* 😍

I’m super happy with Body Shop; it runs much better and the interface is larger on the Legacy Edition.

Anyway, for the time being, I’m going to be converting a lot of Roman-era items. I want to create a new neighborhood set in Roman times, but—my goodness—there’s hardly any CC available for that.

So, I’ve got a lot of work to do, LOL.

There is one upcoming set that doesn't really have much to do with the Roman Empire, but it’s just too beautiful, so I converted that one too. 😁

Downloads below the cut

I’ll be sharing that set tomorrow. Pics below!

The first things I’m sharing are two dresses by Birba 32:

The Heartbeat dress and the Roman Empire dress.

The Morphs

Both come with fat morphs and pregnancy morphs. They are for adult and teen Sims.

I’ve created extra colors for these dresses: the Heartbeat dress comes in 10 colors, and the Roman Empire dress comes in 12.

Polycounts for the Heartbeat dress: 6822

Polycounts for the Roman Empire dress: 6184

All credits go to Birba 32. The link to the original here and here.

If you run into any issues, please let me know so I can fix them.

And as always, happy Simming!

🪵 Splintersaw Shack

The handcrafted home of a reclusive carpenter. Some would say its location is purposeful, tucked away in woods and vegetation. It's almost as though the home itself is hiding away from the rest of town.

Sims 2 Historical - Trait Mod - Hire Maid Want

Requested on discord.

Play historically and tired of your Servant Sims rolling a want to hire a maid?

Here you go!

This simple check tree disables Sims with the Servant trait from rolling a want to hire a maid.

Want Check Trees are group 0x7F739728. Once you find the proper check tree for the right want (can be found in Wants.package) and follow this four-step verification process...

You can edit wants however you wish!

This mod also enables the want to roll for Snobs, Neat trait, or Sims who are lazy.

Just insert a few more Easy Inventory Checks. If you DON'T want the Sim (Stack Object) to roll the Maid want, just have the true target RETURN FALSE (FFFE)

Happy Simming!

I return from "hiatus" bearing clay from an entirely different franchise. These were a massive learning curve, but I think I'm pretty happy with the end result. There will be more CK3 conversions in the future if I don't get distracted again... But, more information below the cut!

Unedited Lineup

Hyacinthe V2 is repo'd to and requires V1, and there are 5 ribbon recolors: red, blue, purple, green and white. The textures for the ribbons are in the mesh file.

One big, I guess very important note is that these hairs use full RGB normal maps (as opposed to black and white bump maps TS2 clothes use).

This means if you have normal maps turned off in your game, the hairs might look noticeably different, because the CK3 hair meshes are kind of a beautiful mess under the hood.

The texture for the normal maps is in the mesh files; TS2 saves them in RAW24Bit so they're slightly chunky, hence repo'ing all of the recolors to one mormal map texture. My game ran fine with them, but I guess just a vague all games run different warning.

I'm like positive I'm forgetting something, so this will probably be updated. It's been a while since I've written one of these...

Here’s another new set of clothing recolors. I’m trying to get everything I’ve made so far published and “out of the way” so they don’t end up sitting in my folders for years again… and there’s still a ridiculous amount left to publish.

DOWNLOAD SFS

Actually, I made these recolors years ago already. The mesh may originally have been Besen’s Rococo Dress. Most likely I made the Momma Lisa conversion myself and heavily edited the mesh afterwards. But I wouldn’t swear on it, because I have the memory of a goldfish. If someone other than me knows they converted this dress for Momma Lisa, please do let me know.

I vaguely remember wrestling with one of Besen’s dresses and at least attempting to convert it — and if I remember correctly, I may even have succeeded.

3t2 Vintage Baseball Uniform

America's Pastime on the Fourth of July! (Just because I don't follow up on my WIPs for years doesn't mean I gave up.) The TS3 version was part of a limited Target promo, True Champion Sports Wear. Teams reflect premade locales, with bad Shakespeare puns and X-Files homages. 7 teams (two of which are Llamas), categorized for Everyday/Athletic.

Download: AM Texture Masters or Download Standalone

Back row: Veronaville Yonder Window Breakers, Strangetown Grays, Evil Mascot College Fighting Cows, Sim City/ SSU Llamas Black/Red Front: Sim City/SSU Llamas Blue/White, Takemizu Village Tigers, Riverblossom Minnow League. If you're playing historically, this uniform could work as far back as the 1860s and into the 1950s. These are for males and CU. I played with some female conversions and it just wasn't fitting like I wanted them to, and there's a women's TS3 uniform with different mapping that's already a better fit for femme bodies. As always, feel free to do as thou wilt with it!

Shoes for AM-TM are cobbled together from the TS4 Guidry shoes (converted by @julietoon) and TS4 cleats (converted by @mdpthatsme). CU has just a resized Guidry shoe. Elder conversion was achieved with WSOs by @withlovefromsimtown. Fonts include @franzillasims' various athletic/collegiate fonts and @ajaysims' Western (for the Cows.)

It's finally time to deliver the long-promised default reading materials for historical Japanese games!

The first portion of this is a book retexture. I can't do anything about the fact that sims read from left to right, and I can't (at least for now) alter the way the book spines are meshed; traditional Japanese books look like this, and while I definitely had their look in mind, I could only do so much.

What I could do was new page textures with vertically-oriented text, and new book covers. I used the listing of Traditional Colors of Japan, picked some I liked and layered them over a linen texture.

The swatch is also included with the download if you want it for novel-writing reference. And you may not care which traditional colors I used, but... there it is all the same.

Unfortunately kimono sleeves tend to glitch through the book model, but they'd do that with any book default you used.

Part two is a Freetime novel-writing default, in the same style as my speech default and using some of the same icons.

I tried, as always, to cover a wide variety: The seasons, food, animals, locations, birth and death, money, conflict. Also ninjas.

Book plots are also redone. Mystery novels are now about yokai, sci-fi is the Tale of the Bamboo Cutter (Princess Kaguya) children get a selection of stories (Momotaro, Red Oni and Blue Oni, Urashima Taro, Crane Wife) and romance is a bunch of natural elements because that's what traditional Japanese love poetry is about.

This is also why there's no clear "romance" category in the novel plot icons but plenty of sources for nature metaphors. Obviously there were books, and illustrations, about sex, because humans gonna human, but I wasn't sure how to work that in -- an octopus, a la Hokusai? Kissy-lips pulled from some other icon set?

Moving on to the next part of this project, though, there's another kind of reading material: magazines!

This time I went with very image-heavy designs; some magazines don't have any text, or only have text that was already on the image. I was reluctant to edit out text I can't read, and sometimes it would have severely messed up the image. This does mean there's non-Simlish text included in some of the magazines.

I've also included, along with defaults for the interest and hobby magazines, recolors of Mother of 70's magazine rack default, again.

Not quite sure why the lighting did that, but I don't really want to reload my game to get a better shot.

The "books" download has one package that contains the new book textures, another package that contains the plot icons for sim-written FT novels and the new plots for the bookcase genre novels, and the swatch for reference purposes. I don't know if any of this will work for you if you don't have FT.

Books: SFS or Box

The "magazines" download contains the Basegame/OFB interest magazines in one package, the FT hobby magazines in another, and the two recolors of the magazine rack in two more packages. I did not include the default replacement, but you'll want it if you want the recolors.
