⋆˖⁺‧₊☆ cozy. // Light Palms Overlay ☆₊‧⁺˖⋆

⋆ skin overlay for all ages and genders

⋆ box found under Miscellaneous -> Dressers

⋆ 1 swatch

⋆ compressed and made with love

Link, previews and more info under the cut ♡

I can't believe I've finally made it!!!! I first started working on this overlay in 2024, I tried like three times to create a box, but it wouldn't work. So I settled for replacing a texture I don't use in another box with mine and putting it on my sims. But I've always wanted to upload it, because I think this is a very needed item. After a long fight I finally understood overlays very well and learned how to make them. And I'm so happy that I can upload this box now!

So, what is this? It's an overlay box that contains only one swatch that covers your sim's palms, making them look more realistic on dark-skinned sims. I tried to pick a tone that would be quite universal, it can be used starting with skins around S3 and all the way to the darkest skin tones. The texture is handpainted, I did my best trying to optimize it to look good on the Maxis hand mesh, but there might obviously be imperfections because both the mesh and the texture are quite simple. The texture is unfortunately a bit pixelated; as I've mentioned, I had put it in a different package for personal use at first, and it appears that I don't have the original image file anymore, so I had to pull it out of my game and then back into the game, which... probably didn't help its quality, but it's the best I could do. I think it looks gorgeous, pixelated or not. And if you're not zooming in too closely, it's not even noticeable.

To use this, you just have to place the overlay "box" object on your lot and choose "Add Light Palms" in the pie menu. There is also an option to remove the overlay. The object can be found in Miscellaneous/Dressers for §0. I based it on a mesh made for TS4 by yourdorkbrains and converted to TS2 by trishasimma. It looks like this:

Examples of how it looks on different skintones, before and after:

I hope you enjoy using it! I am very happy with this overlay and it brings me so much joy to finally be able to share it with the world.

Credits: me for the textures, @themeasureofasim for the overlay tutorial and the box I based mine on, yourdorkbrains for the TS4 mesh, @trishasimma for the TS2 conversion.

♡ Download ♡

⋆ NoFaceOverlay.package is required and included in the upload. Please make sure you don't already have it in your Downloads folder, one copy is enough (if you have other overlays in your game, it's likely already there).

EDIT: solved!! thank you @shastakiss ☺️🖤

hey, would anyone who knows how to remap objects be willing to help me with something?

i’m working on some things for pride month, and there’s a small deco object (that already exists, made by someone else) that i’d like to use for one part of the project that has a much bigger texture than seems necessary, and which also contains textures for the other objects in the same set, in the same image…

i still have a lot of stuff to make for this, including new things i’m learning, and unfortunately i won’t have time to add object remapping to the list 😅 would anyone be up for helping? i’d be very grateful 🙏

[freezerbunny-sims2]

I had a dream in which someone made a very impressive (and free) sex mod for ts2 and for some reason they hosted the download in a website that was mainly for pirated telenovelas. People in the simblr community made lots of memes and started adding the tag "thank you telenovela pirates" to any posts about this mod.

i said i'd make a new post here with more direct links to my GOS downloads while the forum was down, so here it is. i know it's back now, thankfully, but it still feels like a good idea to have these available elsewhere too. apologies if this post is a little lazy, i'm a little under the weather rn 😅

Garden of Shadows: a preservation effort

Like many of us, I grew up with Garden of Shadows. To me, it was more than just a forum. It was a place I could ask for help, learn new skills and, best of all, find amazing content in any style I could possibly want. I loved the board names, the people, the themes; everything, really.

And I admit I was more than a little heartbroken to find it gone.

After mulling it over, I decided that I wanted to preserve what I possibly could. I spent a few hours yesterday running through strategies and ideas about how to best go about it, and the best I could come up with was, well, exactly the same.

So, here it is: the Garden of Shadows mirror forum.

I've only just started, but I hope to add a little bit to it every day. The primary focus will be on preserving all the knowledge and custom content. I'm tackling it myself, but if you feel so inclined, you're more than welcome to join in.

PS. I am not here to offend, break Terms of Use, or to step on any toes. This is simply an effort to preserve content and knowledge for a game I have played and loved for over twenty years. Thank you ♥

[teeayohess]

girl help i’m once again having mod ideas beyond my skills and abilities

[teeayohess]

ok but hear me out........ the upcoming ts4 pack with the tattoo table......

that converted for ts2, but functional..... same animations as the bv massage table (+ the tattoo gun accessory attached to the artist-sim's hand??? they don't even need to be properly holding it imo, just having the accessory there would be cool i think). the client changes into undies instead of towel, loses comfort/energy(/hunger/hygiene? lmao) and gains fun and maybe social too? so the table advertises for those. change appearance dialog comes up (in the case of facial tattoos) but otherwise tattoos are still applied with overlays as usual (oh to have a 'buy clothes'-style dialog window for tats...... 😢). the tattoo artist gains creativity skill + arts&crafts enthusiasm as they work. custom memory for the client sim if it's their first tattoo (or a repeatable one could be cool too?) 🤔🤔🤔 functional tattoo table.....

[maksplaygroundsims2]

Soneone out there please make this possible, PLEASE

[fireflowersims]

Forget BV animations, we can actually convert TS4 anims!

Overlays are a bit of a pain, but eh, should be possible. Could even put some OFB functionality in there, connect it to the styling badge, add enthusiasm. Totally doable imho

[teeayohess]

i mostly figured using already in game animations would make things easier and less work to make (and i already felt like i was dreaming way too big 😅) but hey, converted anims would be even better of course! i completely forgot about the styling badge too, that's a good idea 😎

[teeayohess]

Hey! wcif this trailer: https://www.tumblr.com/teeayohess/775069172159971328

It turned out so beautiful! Thank you. 🖤

hello! i used this awesome set here for the trailers 🚌😎

also thank you! i'm glad you think so :-) 🖤

[teeayohess]

[teeayohess]

🤍 love train! send this to all the blogs you love! don't forget to spread the love! 🤍

ahh thank you!! right back at you friend 🖤🖤

[teeayohess]

If you don't mind me asking where do you get your skins/skin details because your sims look awesome :0 <3 (specifically of the gorls)

@tawk-sick ah, thank you!! 🥺🖤 i did put a lot of effort into those two so i appreciate it haha

(before i get to your wcif i just wanted to say that all the cc i link below is for sims 2! i really only mention it since your blog seems ts4 focused, and i know it's not always easy to tell one game from the other in screenshots these days 😅 i'm assuming you know i'm a ts2 simblr but i figured it wouldn't hurt to clarify it anyway 🫡)

i use honeyhoney by lilith as my default skins, and it's the skin the taller one of my girls is using. the other sim is using keoni's rei, which is based on honeyhoney but blended to add asian features (e.g. monolids). i also used a lot of nose masks/face kits/shaders on them, to get some variation.

generally, i recommend anything by lilith (she has a lot of nice skins, nose masks, eyelids, and other useful make up items); anything by jessi-dot (also lots of useful make up and many sets of freckles); alfredaskew and digitalangels also have really good stuff, alfred's shader sets are essential imo (links to some of their sets below the cut; i also recommend browsing digi's blogs for more of her stuff); rensim's face kit is a staple for me to this day; and these face kits by simplelife may seem old now but they're still excellent.

there's a lot more good stuff out there if you feel up to digging for it, and depending on the aesthetic you're going for! esotheria has also received some wcifs for make up and face details and has really good recs (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6), and virtualpeople also has some good tips here.

i went through the cc those two specific sims of mine are using, and put it in a list with links for you below:

these nosemasks by lilith

these nosemasks also by lilith

the jaw shaders from this set by alfredaskew (which i use on pretty much all my sims because the jaws bother me lol)

these philtrums by xwhitepolar (i also use these on all my sims)

these mouth corners by digitalangels (also used on every sim)

the nose shadow mask in this bundle by pooklet (lots of good stuff in there too; i also use this specific mask on every sim)

this set of shaders by alfredaskew

this set by simnopke

these eyelid and tearduct details by alfredaskew

these waterlines by jessi-dot (which i also use on almost all my sims)

several bits from the face kit by rensim

this hollow of the cheek shaper reuploaded by esotheria

these lips by lilith

these dimples by lilith (single side version by papasita here)

these eyebags by digitalangels

these shaders by amaryll

these moles by deedee

these moles by jj1010

these freckles by jessi-dot

these face tattoos by episims

body-wise, they're also using this cleavage overlay by platinumaspiration and these body freckle overlays by episims + themeasureofasim. i also used this tooth gap mask by pooklet and these tongues by digitalangels.

lastly, here's some more links i found while searching that could also be useful for you: 1, 2, 3, 4

anyway, i hope this helped! 🖤 :-)

I wanted to feel like it’s the early 2000s again, so I decided to make a Sims 2 music video. Evanescence felt like an obvious choice to crank up the nostalgia factor even more. There are probably like 100 sims videos for this song on YouTube already. Well, then now it's 101, I guess. I think the YouTube algorithm is still figuring out who to show this video to, so if you enjoy this type of content, it’d mean a lot to me if you could like/subscribe or leave a comment (feels weird to finally say these words unironically haha).
