#ts2 resources

[latmosims]

Thanks a lot to those who were part of last week's Workshop over at the SimForge! 🤗

It's time for Part 2! This time it's going to be all about TS2. We will be doing the most classic of mesh edits: a shoe swap 👠🔃 And we'll be doing all of the editing bits inside Blender. No exporting in-and-out of utilities, no nothing! Hopefully I can show every step, but this one might get long as well, so come prepared. 🫵

When is this taking place?

This Saturday (May 16th) at 10:00 (GMT-6) / 18:00 (UTC+1)!

Where can I (re)watch Part 1?

The recording is available right here! Make sure you watch it (and sorry in advance for the 2-hour mark 😅) before the next part. I'll go over some of the things again, mainly the ones near the end of that, but it's important we don't get caught up in repeating everything 😉

If you already have a good understanding of the basic principles of the program, feel free to drop by without watching!

Join the SimForge!

Blender, The Sims 2 and you!

Hi! A momentary return to announce that I will be presenting a workshop live over @ TheSimForge, @blueheavensims' server dedicated to modding/creating for TS2.

It's going to be called "Cutting Edges" (hehe) and will be a two-part workshop, the first of which will take place next Saturday (May 9th) at 10:00 (GMT-6) / 18:00 (UTC+1).

What is it about?

Blender! For Part 1, it's going to be a pretty straightforward rundown of everything a beginner, or person coming from Milkshape 3D, needs to know about Blender and some of its key features and quirks.

Is it going to be Sims-related stuff?

That's what Part 2 will be about, I'll showoff how you can essentially go from start to finish with Blender ONLY, and import that into TS2 and nothing else. Just make sure you follow Part 1 if you don't know the first thing about Blender, because stuff will not be repeated. 😄

What's a workshop?

Essentially, one person presents a "class" surrounding a topic on a TS2 related creative process: poses, boxes, fences, GUIDs, you name it! This is done live, on Discord, where you can ask questions via voice chat, or text chat, and the presenter will answer. But don't worry, a replay is always available after the fact on the SimForge's YT channel!

Join the Discord server here to attend: https://discord.gg/Jyjb67eBX5

Once, you are there, the workshop post is available under the "workshop-resource-posts" forum.

Hope you can make it!!

ForgottenPixel's Simlish Poster PNGs

So I've been wanting to make the PNGs for my simlish posters available for a while and since I'm in the middle of another round, I gathered up all the available ones I have (including some ones you'll see in the next poster release!) and put them into a google drive folder for you to peruse and use in your own cc.

TOU for this particular set

Credit Canva and FreePik for the original designs (all I did was add the simlish text)

Link back to this post!

Please don't put behind a paywall/Early Access!

That's it! Feel free to use these for any sims game cc, include them in your free cc etc!

Download: Google Drive

Credits to Canva and FreePik for the original designs (mostly Canva but I have a couple from FreePik in there) and also @franzillasims @ratboysims @simsinlowspace @ajaysims @chere-indolente and some other creators I might be forgetting for the fonts (if I've forgotten you please let me know and I'll be sure to add your name!)

Other Simlish Posters

Also I can't post these without linking to @thimblesims amazing resource of their own simlish posters! Great minds think alike and I stumbled across these while looking up sims resources! If you want even more options then be sure to check out their work!

Resource: 260 4t2 Icons For The Collection Enthusiasts

🐸 DOWNLOAD: SFS / MIRROR

Phaenoh's Catalog Cleanup was not enough, I need my objects DEEP-SORTED because I have too many construction plans for the holiday. SO:

🌟260 ICONS selected from TS4 that are hopefully diverse enough for your creative needs.

Tagged and sorted by: hobby & interest [47], misc object [37], place [99], season [4], supernatural [10], and theme & aesthetic [63].

PNG format, transparent background.

⬆️ example for the place category.

⬆️ example for the theme & aesthetic category.

🌟SOME ISSUES:

Cannot be loaded by JFADE's Collection Maker as it doesn't accept PNG.

Load normally in-game (put in Documents\...\Collections\Icons) but for some unknown reasons (I AM TRULY PUZZLED 😵‍💫), many might show black background. The only way to fix is to manually replace the collection's thumbnail in SimPE. Example below ⬇️

🏗️ Buildings Planner

The primary reason my builds have been improving so much as of late is the fact that I'm being far more intentional than I used to be. I created a planner to use in notion, and have been testing it for months (in conjunction with Lot Planner). So, I've included a link in case anyone is interested. Just duplicate the template and you'll have your own copy.

throwing this here because i don't believe i've shared this. if i have let me know, my memory has been terrible.

this is an edit of lilith-sims's asuka color action to be a bit darker and more richly ginger. it is called zodiac in line with the cosmic color naming scheme.

this is a single action for photoshop. this was made and runs well in cs6, but let me know if you have problems with it.

download zodiac (dusty ginger) color action!

ModTheSims - More Interactions for Vampires

4 new interactions for Vampires, powered by Charisma (take that, Maxis) and may be defended against. Also reworked 2 original Vampire intera

Sharing these new Vampire interactions with the wider Simblr community!

I don't fully understand what they all do based on the descriptions and haven't playtested any of them yet. And I might run into conflicts and rescind this recommendation, but hopefully not! My Vampire mods are pretty carefully curated to avoid conflicts and maximize options, so I'm very curious to see how these behave (I can share my set up if these work).

But I'm excited to see how the "Enthrall" interaction works (I always view Vampires as seductive beings), the "Languor" interaction, and the prospect of "Bleh!" being useful. Let's see what happens!
