The Measure of a Sim @themeasureofasim - Tumblr Blog

Welcome to my Simblr! Here are a few things you may want to know about me:

I'm frequenly on hiatus due to lack of free time (I'm not gone or ignoring you).

You can ask me to follow you back if you want to chat (only sims chat please!).

I will always block blogs with no title, icon, header or description (it's your job to look like a real person).

Currently playing: The Everlasting Uberhood (chronological order).

I don't usually share custom content on tumblr anymore, but here are a few tags for the stuff I made over the years:

Simgarooped hair defaults.

Clothing defaults.

The great stockings project.

Overlay boxes.

All my collabs with @itsdiamondeyesuniverse (I miss you 💜).

Questionable tutorials (English is not my native language).

You can do whatever you want with my stuff, but please:

Respect the original creators. I use textures and meshes by others, so check who deserves credit for the stuff you're using. Don't credit me for the stockings/freckles/birthmark textures, I didn't make them!

You can edit my content however you like, but keep it free. You can reupload my content if it becomes unavailable for any reason, but again: no paywalls/adwalls!

Frequently Asked Questions:

I don't take requests.

I'm WCIF friendly (WCIF tag).

I stand and will always stand with Palestine. If you have money to spare, please consider donating to GazaFunds, the Gaza Municipality Project, or any of these families 🇵🇸

Please remember to use ad blockers and patch the tumblr app✨️

Help Wanted

Hi all! So I'm looking for a couple of things :)

First and foremost, I'm looking for 1-3 play testers for a toddler default set I completed. I'm notorious for TERRIBLE play testing and this will help me be able to move forward into other ages.

If you are down, please let me know and I'll send you the link. This default set includes brand new outfits + access to a spreadsheet so you know which is which and you can leave me notes on any fixes. I'm also open to changing outfits for the defaults (though I'd prefer not to convert more outfits, I can if it makes sense lol). I'm really looking for bugs or wonky joints.

Second, and this is a big ask, I'm asking for long term help with the @sims2tutorials page. I've been doing it by myself for a long while and it's very much not up-to-date and messy, predominantly with me going on a semi-hiatus for a while. If you're not able to assist long term, sending in tutorials is always helpful <3

Thank you, all, again!

#reblog #platinumaspiration #help a fellow simmer #i wish i could help with the tutorial database #but let's be real... i don't even have time to play 😭

Hi there! Love all your downloads. I couldn't find if this had been asked before, but wcif the hair on the middle model in this post, the braids? Thanks! (edit, I guess we cant include links in asks, but it was a default replacement of yours, it was the efpoloshirt replaced with deedee's sims easv) I hope that's not too difficult to track down!

Hello! Thank you so much! Yes, I remember this hair 😁 It's Nightcrawler Anna, simgarooped by @mystic-hysteria, here (or find your preferred texture on the database, just below "Angelic").

Literally every default face template set on earth that I've ever seen be like: what if every single sim looked the exact same as each other. and also they're all white

simstationdance

Can't have Asian features or Black features or Indigenous features because they're too #ugly and the Sims 2 community memes on it constantly about how #gross and #ugly they are and how that's why we need defaults that are just 25 clones of the same white guy with a button nose and round eyes. Oh and elf and alien I guess. I GUESS.

simstationdance

"but what if i want my sims to look UNIQUE instead of looking like Maxis face template sim #3874358" you know you can make unique looking sims with the maxis templates right. you know you can just Do that, right. it's not hard. for fuck's sake.

also bold take but i don't think 28 templates with the same vague shape of fucking button noses and round eyes are "unique"

creesims

Isbrealiomcaife's All Around the World face templates have been around for over 20 years. 8 years ago @ivy-sims uploaded custom versions of the default faces in the Japanese, Korean, and Chinese installs of the game

I understand what you're saying and we do need more. I'm not a face template collector so there are probably a lot more that I don't know about, it's a niche area of CC creating so it's hard to find people who do it. But here's some links for anyone who's looking for more variety

themeasureofasim

I agree with @creesims recs! I also think these by Pooklet are quite unique. Deedee has made them non default so you can have them together with Maxis' if you like, it adds variety if you let your game spawn townies, NPCs, etc. I agree that some sets out there are a bit same face-y, but no one's forcing you to download them 🤷🏾‍♀️

✨️Ad-free tumblr app✨️

(aka tumblr ReVanced)

In case you didn't know (I didn't), you can patch the tumblr app to stop showing ads and sponsored posts in 5 easy steps.

1. Download the tumblr APK from APKMirror (you need a single APK, not a bundle/split APK). Version 34.9.1.100 worked for me.

2. Install ReVanced.

3. In ReVanced Manager, select the tumblr APK, let it patch it, and install it. If you already have a newer version of tumblr installed, you'll need to uninstall it first.

4. Open the (revanced!) tumblr app and log in to your account.

5. Disable tumblr automatic updates (through the Play Store) and enjoy.

I used the same process for YouTube Music and it also works like a charm (you'll also need MicroG for that one).

How will it feel to open The Sims after a whole month of being an adult:

#i'm applying for a permanent research position guys #wish me luck #not sims #personal

Sir Roland is fully charged by the time the mail carrier stops by.

Sir Roland: Good day to you, my lady.

Sir Roland: They are most commendable young ladies. I am certain you would find them so as well, should you come to know them. I find it most unkind to burden them with bills each day.

Mail carrier: Do you think I like my work schedule? I don't remember the last day I had off! But no one thinks about me, it's always about poor playable sims having to pay the bills.

Luckily, the girls did great, so I think we're going to pay the bills just fine!

By the time the girls are back, Sam also stops by. Sir Roland still hopes she will pledge.

Sir Roland: Good day, my lady. Your presence is most welcome. The door of this noble house remains open to you, should you ever wish to reconsider...

Sam: Hey, before you get over the moon about it, I never considered it in the first place. I think I've been very clear about that. You're all very nice, but my decision is made.
