Faces of the Night ::

A full lot of default face templates inspired by modern Nightlife. After all, life begins at 3 AM...

So wow. This was a lot of work, and I swear nearly broke bodyshop several times. Anyway, welcome to the little project I've been working on for a week. or two. I don't remember anymore.

Here are 27 new default faces to replace the original ones, because I find them difficult to work with. Each face is identical across respective gender/age to integrate with your gameplay in a way that shouldn't ever produce any jump scares-- which is why I had to exclude several of my favorite faces. I wanted to make sure that genetics wise there wasn't anything wonky going on, so if there are sims from my videos whose faces don't appear here, well, that's why.

27 faces, 27 files, just put them in your downloads folder. Make sure to delete any other face defaults you may already have. You obviously don't need to install all of them either so feel free to pick and choose/mix and match with base game or other default faces!

✋NOTE :: Faces 21 and 25 are notoriously borked.. so as a fix I highly recommend you download archfixes.

Alright! I'll stop talking now!

It took me the entire day to reinstall the game on my new computer, to make all the adjustements for it to work on Windows 11, find the right settings with the Graphic Rules Maker, and… my game loads twice faster from Windows to neighborhood view, then it loads at least TEN TIMES faster to enter a lot, everything runs so smoothly, even in very heavy CC lots and neighborhoods, with all settings at high, Origin downloading the Sims 4 at the same time, talking to my best friend on Discord, recording a video… like… IS THIS HEAVEN ?! I’m about to cry. Tears of joy of course. But still !

I think the next week (or maybe even the next month) will be about enjoying my game and nothing else. I’m so, so, so happy, you can’t even imagine !

[lilsisterg]

Perhaps you would be willing to share how you made Sims 2 work on Windows 11. There was someone asking for help with getting their game to work with Windows 11. Thanking you in advance 💞

[littlelittlesimmies]

Oh ! I followed a few tutorials actually.

First I did this as usual :https://gardenofshadows.org.uk/gardenofshadows/index.php?topic=21931.0

Then the last part of @anibats​​ tutorial (the part about the dxvk file) : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac1PyUxKoNU except that I wrote 16384 instead of 8192 in the file she talks about and in the Graphic Rules Maker as I now have 32Gb of RAM.

And I learned something important here to complete Anibats tutorial : https://docs.google.com/document/d/19JMr-FQSU3AlF7Kyvcrr7awTiHBDQSUNLG6qfaI6rOs/edit

Grant “Everyone” full control to the TSBin Folder before copying. Otherwise, Windows may lie (🤥) about copying the  d3d9.dll file to the folder. You’ll know you haven’t done this if the d3d9.dll file looks like it is there but no log file or cache files are generated.

If “Everyone” doesn’t appear, press “Edit” and then “Add” then type in “Everyone”, press OK, and “Everyone” should appear as an option you can edit the permissions on.

If you did not grant “Everyone” access, DXVK really might not work and/or crash.

⚠️If you had launched the game before granting “Everyone” access and after copying the DLL, you will be in a ditch. Get out of the ditch by deleting the “%localappdata%\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\EA GAMES” folder. You can get there by putting that path into Windows File Explorer’s address bar.

That was the only part that was useful to me, but it worth reading it all just in case.

My Graphic Rules settings are exactly these if it helps :

Good idea! Reblogging too, in case I need it!

How different are the settings from the ones you used for Windows 10? And do you mind sharing the file number/folder size for your Downloads folder? I haven’t been able.to use anywhere near as much cc without the game crashing as I was with Win 7 & 8, which is highly distressing for this cc addict.

[littlelittlesimmies]

I never used Windows 10, I was still using Windows 7 24h ago x) My Downloads folder size is 8Go. It was 14Go one year earlier, and a very few crashing. I was actually doing all that was possible for my computer to do nothing else than playing the Sims when I wanted to play : no software loading a startup, restarting my computer right before lauching the Sims, defragmenting my drives with O&O Defrag every week, game installed on a SSD… that was pretty much it. Then my game started to pinkflash and crash like two months ago, which was a surprise because it was running nicely for years. Anibats video helped a lot (I used the same settings as her). Much less crashes, but still very laggy, because my computer was dying I guess.

Saving for later.

I am getting a new PC this year (finally) and will have this problem too.

[nixedsims]

Reblogging for reference, too. I’m also getting a new PC, hopefully sooner rather than later (I know what I want and I have the means, I just need to get my sh… act together), so I know I’ll need this eventually.
