Depa Billaba
I decided to give this hairstyle a go because Iād already made some braided loops that I liked for Princess Leiaās Bespin hair. I ran into immediate trouble though because I wasnāt able to find any pictures the back of the hairstyle on the actress who played her in the prequels. Instead, I came across the concept art for the characters intended appearance in the Clone Wars series which very helpfully had the angles I needed to figure out the braided loops at the back! I added the little bun to hide where the braids all came together so that bit isnāt entirely accurate but I imagine they would have done something similar for the live-action version so it might be after all!
I also have another version of this hair that is just the full braids without the pulled back section at the front that Iāll try to get out later this week.
I tried to make Depaās Marks of Illumination as a piercing to release but the one between the eyes is causing me massive problems with its placement because I canāt figure out how to get it to stay joined to the skin. It works with maybe 2 of the presets but is floating with some and completely hidden with others. It was pure luck that I found a Depa Billaba sim on the gallery (add credit before posting) that only needed a few adjustments to get the Marks visible so Iāve decided to shelve them until I can figure out how to get them to work universally.
TOU: Feel free to recolour or edit to your hearts content, just donāt make people pay for it. (full touĀ here)

Mixed Messaging.
Back in 2023, @hugelunatic-deactivated20260510 gave @simnostalgia shit for archiving/scraping GoS ājust in case,ā citing concerns over scraping, bandwidth, and preservation itself.
Now GoS and Sims2Artists are suddenly gone, and people are left scrambling through remnants, mirrors, and whatever archives survived.
That is exactly why preservation matters.
You cannot discourage archival efforts and then act surprised when people are upset that massive parts of Sims 2 history vanished with little warning. You also cannot get angry over backlash when there was never any clear, direct communication to the wider community.
People were explicitly told that if GoS was truly at risk of going down, there would be an announcement.
No real community-wide warning was ever given.
And honestly, this is where the messaging becomes incredibly frustrating.
We were told:
hosting costs were manageable,
the site was not going anywhere as long as ads/donations covered most costs,
out-of-pocket expenses were still within budget,
scraping was mainly an issue because it increased bandwidth/server load,
āif I were not willing/able to continue, then there would be an announcement,ā
and later posts even made it sound like things were functioning again after the PHP fixes.
Most people interpreted that as stability returning.
So yes, people are understandably confused and frustrated now, because the messaging for years was essentially: āThings are annoying, but manageable.ā
Not: āHey. This is serious. Archive what you can now. I may be done.ā
And no, buried technical posts about PHP upgrades and drive failures are not the same thing as directly communicating that to the wider community.
I literally had to use archived Tumblr pages just to reconstruct the timeline before speaking on this.
And honestly, we are lucky @simnostalgia even had the foresight to preserve as much as they did back in 2023, because otherwise even more would likely be gone forever or nearly impossible to piece back together. But that archive is still missing huge amounts of resources, attachments, images, updates, and years of content added afterward.
What makes this even more frustrating is that @simnostalgia received backlash for trying to preserve the site in the first place. At this point, I honestly hope they feel vindicated, because this situation is exactly why archival efforts matter.
People absolutely would have helped preserve, mirror, archive, financially support, or even transition these sites if the situation had been communicated clearly, especially if HugeLunatic had simply said: āI am done. Someone else needs to preserve or host this now.ā
Sims 4 CC - Star Wars: Speeders (functional bicycles mod):
Adds two Speeder bikes from Star Wars as functional bicycles.
Aratech 74-Z Speeder (brown)
BARC Speeder (grey)
Base game compatible (at least it should be, lmk if it's not showing up)
Keyword: "bike"
Ā§400
Teen-Elders only
Note: The sound will still play bicycle noises. The sim's legs clip and still have the animation playing. If I learn how to fix this, I'll circle back. Sadly there's little-to-no guides or documentation on modding bicycles properly. For now, it's a small price to pay for getting these mods to work.

Star Wars owned by Disney & Lucasfilms
Models from Battlefront by EA/DICE
This is a non-commercial fan mod made for the love of the franchise.

Wellā¦ I donāt really have an explanation for this, other than Iāve been enjoying āclowncoreā trend stuff, and also saw a tiktok of someone wearing a suit exactly like this one and Iāve wanted to make a TS2 version ever since lol š¤·
What it is:
1.) A rainbow/clown recolor of Amaryllās TS2 Store Velvet Suit mesh edit & all gender/age conversions (meshes included!)
Enabled for Everyday & Formal
The CU/TM/EM textures are repositoried to the AM version, and the TF/EF textures are repositoried to the AF version - So you need the Adult files to see the textures for the other ages!
2.) 5 full facepaints for all ages/genders - Itās kinda recolors of the FreeTime clown makeup, but the only actual remnant of that is the eye stuff which I edited a bunch
The .zip file has the facepaint swatch labeled with file names so you can get rid of any you donāt want.

With GoS being currently down (I still want to believe it's only temporary), here's a friendly reminder that most uploads I've shared on the forum are available under the 'gos downloads' tag on my blog.
As an extra precaution, I'll be going through the tag again, checking if the existing links work and adding mirrors/alternatives.
What is dead may never die! āšš
yes yes GOS is down i get it
but i think this is an appropriate time to tell all of you that internet archive/wayback machine is *also* not safe for making backups
they have repeatedly been the target of legal battles, some of which they have already lost (see here and here) and which have nearly bankrupted them
so putting everything on the internet archive and calling it a day is a majorly stupid idea. Ideally, we'd need SEVERAL backups of everything, in different places.

Garden Of Shadows - All Custom Content
I've successfully scraped all of the available Custom Content that was linked on GOS from Mediafire, Box, and SimFileShare. (Mirrors on 4shared not included)
Of course, I can't go back in time to retrieve things that are already long gone but here's a .zip of 49 GBs of content. This is everything from the beginning of GOS to September 2023.
This is the entire site's worth of custom content scraped. There are a few things that you need to know.- This is not checked to see if depe
Addressing a few concerns
So, I assume most of you don't know, but there is a bit of drama inside the Paralives community. It's funny because this whole thing is revolving around The Sims 3.
TwistedMexi made his first paywalled "early access" mod called Sims 3 Camera, and I've been working on the same thing as he was. 1. Let's get the "clone" allegation out of the way first.
(Source: TwistedMexi's discord server)
TwistedMexi is accusing me of cloning his mod, but letās look at the facts. Thankfully, I always use GitHub, so the commit dates are there to prove it.
(2026-05-26 22:27:02 +0200) is a timestamp of the first commit with hash d82ddd909e06833b0f8d5d439ad602d04a4f3e08
(2026-05-27T19:57:44.000+00:00) is a timestamp of the publication date of his Patreon post.
Honestly, I didn't know I could see the future, but ok.
2. The second thing I want to address is that currently there are a lot of awful comments directed at Tmex. PLEASE do not harass other creators.
3. Regarding early access and paywalls: My mods are developed in my spare time as a passion project. I believe in keeping my work accessible to everyone, which is why all of my content will remain completely free, forever. I believe the community should play a role in maintaining projects if the original creator steps away, which is why I always share the source code for my projects Free mods are a pillar of a healthy community, whereas paywalls only lead to gatekeeping and unnecessary drama. My hope is that more creators choose to release their mods in a way that prioritizes community growth and shared resources.
A reblog would be greatly appreciated to help spread this message.
Thanks for reading,
xoxo, Arro Ps. If you want to see a broader discussion on this topic, I recommend this Reddit post that goes way more in-depth than I do. It's a good read.
so. not only does he feel entitled to charge money and lock a simple code fix for a basic fucking mod which tools were easily provided for but heās also making ācloningā accusations for the same file anyone can easily access to and also create the exact same modā¦ is the circus here with us???

It's been a while since I've done an outfit default, but @alienara-simblr inspired me with these recolors of a 1t2 Makin' Magic Dress soooo naturally I wound up making 20 (yes, t w e n t y) default replacements for the matchmaker outfit š®
efbodyg-psy (blame Maxis/EA for the name, not me, sorry) replaced with @philosimy's 1t4 Makin' Magic Dress and the extra recolors, converted to ts2 by @jellymeduza and @alienara-simblr. Full swatches can be found in the links to the original outfits!
There are 20 files in the folder, PLEASE choose ONE RECOLOR ONLY!!!
DOWNLOAD @ SFS
Optional but not required: a default replacement of your choice for the matchmaker hair (the one I use is part of the 4t2 clay hair default dump by @platinumaspiration), or the NPC hair randomizer.
NOTE: I kept the Maxis/EA name of this outfit in the file names for ease of navigation/finding potential conflicts. If it bothers you, please feel free to rename the file.

I am completely focusing on hair defaults right now (and I wanna finish all the female ones first), but I am considering doing clothing defaults once Iām done all that
