#ts2 wip

[christaskyy]

Hi babies! ^^

Another WIP mod!

It is supposed to imitate pond types from TSCS (clear water, swamp and lava) by just changing pond material.

In TSCS pond have extended functionality like improved routing (so that sims can swim and spear fish), affect on sims' needs, reflection cameras and classified like separate objects while in original game they are simply terrain tiles with poor stuff.

It would be pretty tough to port lots of new TSCS code so I decided to create small plugin changing water material by pressing hot keys while creating pond on lot.

Keep in mind that they are all work as usual pond (sims can fish even in lava, yeah), my mod changes their look only.

Regular reflective pond (no pool, reflective plane is used there):

Swamp with animated moss (also reflective but hardly noticeable):

Animated lava:

Ignore texture defaults. It works with even original castaway shaders/textures well.

Now I'm looking for a way to save this changes on lot (otherwise it will change to default water material if you reload the lot or game), and then it's ready for a full release.

This beautiful house scrolled across my dash yesterday... I've been recreating in the Sims 2 ever since.

I wish I had giant big oaks to frame it with - but I'm pretty happy with it so far. What do you think?

It's only got 3 CC so far: the Bespoke set, HL's floor edger, and my recolor of the stairs.

Working on Kitzbachtal today, a wip alpine vacation destination for my game. Thought I'd share some pictures. Pointers on cc matching the aesthetic and general ideas appreciated <3

This is where it started. See how its going below: (picture spam)

Don't mind the picture quality please, I'm playing on low texture settings rn.

Far from finished, but we have a small, cozy mountain lodge and a pedestrian city center, both of which I remodeled after Irma's alpine uni lots, because they really capture the architectural style I was looking for:

The city centre consists of an 'Intersport' Flagship Store and the Ettenbacher Café and Restaurant and a small stand for souvenirs.

We've also got a two-lot slope to be used with Chris Hatch's Skiing Mod right next to the lodge (makes more sense in deep snow, so it looks a little silly now).

Finally, I've got lots of plans for hiking trails for sims to 'hike through' by visiting lots in a sequence. More soon (someday,--probably). I tend to switch between projects and game setups pretty inconsistently :D

Sneak Peek: The Sims 2 Pets Breed Overhaul

This custom content pack will provide updated versions of every Maxis dog & cat breed in the sims 2, ranging from small tweaks to significant model changes and new coat colors (coats and breeds unlocked through gameplay are not included or required). This will diversify the gene pool for pets and provide the variety and genetics mixing that the community has desperately wanted for years. I plan to release this in 3 parts, starting with the large breed dogs. The goal is to have part 1 posted within the next couple months.

In the meantime, here's a sneak peek at the new Great Dane model and some genetics testing I did.

I gave the Dane model a much larger/wider head and slimmed the rest of its body a bit to make it look closer to real-life Great Dane proportions.

For genetics testing, I used the above fawn coat (a Maxis Dane coat I altered to give it more depth) and a completely custom "merlequin" coat variant. I used this mod by KittenInTheWindow to show all coat markings on the puppies.

Mother

They had a litter of 3, 2 of which had a nice mix of layers from both parents (and the other is just a merlequin with tan feet I guess haha).

These are the pups as adults:

I then tested to see how the merlequin coat would mix with Webster's (a premade Kerry Blue Terrier). At first the puppy seemed like he would be almost a copy of Webster, but turned out to have nicely mixed genes when he grew up.

I'm so excited to get this project finished and I hope I can make something the sims community will love! Feedback is always appreciated and encouraged!

Stick around for more updates. :)

WIPs

Just wanted to let you know that I'm working on some requests rn!

1 & 3 - Done, just need to fix bones assignments in the back of the head, both cf-ef. 2. The hair doesn't have scalp/hairline texture on the hair model (I used cc hairline as face paints here). I've already made one for the 1st hair so I need a tiiiny break since I don't like the process of doing it that much :D, tf-ef 4. No morphs yet, I need to fix one shoe (I deleted some parts of it without noticing :D), and I need to check the mesh in-game if it looks fine while moving (If not it might take a moment to finish this ones, fingers crossed ^^)...Also I need to change the whole shape a lil bit I think.

4t2 - NEAT (Part 1)

Well, after unsuccessfully trying to make the table work as a desk (I really thought that would be the case), but after talking to @deatherella and her telling me about the possibility of using it as a vanity, I did it and it worked.

Actually, this chair wasn't originally part of the set.
