Sims 2 CC Finds

4t2 Retro Fridge & Stove:

These are the mesh edited version by  albumenplumbob. Sims4Studio has not been updated to include the new kits and I failed at trying to extract the meshes via sim4pe. I would love to convert the rest of the kitchen when Sim4studio does get updated though.

Let’s start with the accessories this time (because I’ve never started with them lol)

4t2 SP09 Gem Necklace

Just a necklace I thought was cute, and decided to convert it! From teens to elders, with the original 10 colors. You can choose if you want them in the glasses category or as BV jewellery :)

3t2 Collar Bone

And a cute collar for dogs! Which I made 4 recolors of. The bone pendant stretches with the neck, so it’ll look wonky with wider necked dogs (but that’s how it works, unfortunately). I hope you like it anyway! :)

Starship UI: PUBLIC BETA!  (Sims 2 Dark Mode)

Surprise!

To celebrate my first big project New Pleasantview turning a year old today, and getting close to 1,000 followers (thank you so much!) I’m releasing the public beta of Starship UI for everyone!

Starship UI was revealed in October last year and now it’s finally here for all simmers to test and play with!

I finally got it into a playable, functioning state a few weeks ago, and have been polishing it ever since.

Features:

Fully overhauled modern user interface based on @greatcheesecakepersona​‘s Clean UI mod

“Bubble” design for the UI, based on feedback

Easier on the eyes, especially at night

White text for maximum readability

6 new loading screens (coming soon)

Dark cursors (coming soon)

I am also announcing TWO new color variants of the UI, which I’ve been secretly working on for months: a vibrant, saturated pink, and a calming, soothing green, labeled “Pink Friday” and “Dreams” respectively. (Subject to change.)

The installation process is purposefully VERY easy:

There are multiple packages in the download zip file.

Each package is catered to a specific resolution (1600x900, 1920x1080)

Pick the package that best suits your monitor.

Place it in your downloads folder.

Place any extras (cursors, loading screens) in your games folder!

DOWNLOAD: SimFileShare | Dropbox | MTS thread

To report bugs, please go to this ModTheSims thread I made about Starship UI specifically. Forums tend to be much more helpful in tracking these kinds of bugs and sharing information, so I went that route.

This is a theme entry for The Wright Stuff on GoS!

Snack Time - Default Replacements for Maxis Foods

Hello! This has been an extremely weird week, but whatever. Before my root canal on the 23rd (a tooth shattered), I wanted to dump some CC out into the world! I wanted to update these because none of the available replacements looked very 2021-modern to me, or had a pretty bad texture size that meant zooming in was a crunchy, pixellated nightmare. But, no more! I put my observation skills to the test with this one and tried my hardest to make them look very similar to real brands without actively ripping one off. I also tried to use Maxis textures or imagery but that didn’t work out so enjoy my shoddy graphic design. Each default comes in Simlish or English.

Baked, Not Fried - Maxis Chips Default

This is a default of the Maxis chips/crisps! You get a more modern look, and a pun at the same time! The back of the bag contains nutrition facts and a little blurb, as well as a glue fold, like all foil-wrapped bags have! Also, if anyone wonders why I called the brand name “Apples of the Earth” - it’s a pun on the French word for potatoes.

Orange Juice - Maxis Juice Default

Canned juice isn’t super common where I’m from, but I tried to roll with it and go with the most common of canned juices - Orange! If you don’t like that flavour… uh, sorry, I guess? But this is what you get. The top of the can is textured to somewhat match what Maxis was going for in a higher resolution. Includes other stuff like nutrition facts on the back.

It’s Instant - Maxis Instant Meal Default

I struggled the most with this one, and what direction to take it in - because instant meals, or liquid meal replacements, are not usually canned and most replacements went with beer or soft drinks. The meal replacements I did look at IRL didn’t inspire much of a design idea in me, either. (They were boring and also looked nasty. My mother likes them, and I’ve never understood it.) So, after much debating, I made it look like it’s strawberry flavoured and leaned into the silliness of it all! It even has some little icons advising you not to stick it in the oven or microwave, because of course a sim would think to do that.

Hello again! Today I bring you 4t2 conversions of Alexaarr’s Vintage Jacket and Amy Earrings. Enjoy! Thank you so much for 120+ followers, I’m glad to bring great stuff that ts4 creators make into what I think is the best game in the franchise, ts2! :) ​

sims-kkb’s retro style one room fridge converted to TS2

I’ve seen this fridge in some really sweet TS4 screenshots, I love it, its great, I’ve wanted it in TS2 for a lil bit. I know that a fair bit of sims-kkb’s objects have been converted to TS2 but couldn’t find out if this fridge had been. (As far as I’m aware, it hasn’t, but if it has, have it again??)

I’ve never converted an object before, let alone a fridge. But this was a learning experience and its not perfect, but its a functional fridge! (and for me, thats enough) - Since its just that middle door that opens, there is a little bit of weirdness when a sim looks inside - their head sorta clips through the top a bit but its not too bad. It looks a little questionable with the ‘play’ animation too, but thats just because the sim is literally swinging on the tiniest door. 

There also a gap between counters and the fridge since its quite thin (picture of this under the cut)

There’s 20 colours! - 10 of kkb’s original swatches (which I adore), and then 10 solids I whipped up with serendipitysimmer’s historian palette (which I also adore). There’s also a subset with some magnets and papers on the door, I only recoloured this subset once with a random simlish note and some textures from Michelle@MTS because I didn’t really know what to put on it. (this is on the left fridge in the top pic, the middle one has sims-kkb’s original papers on)

As usual, if I messed up, let me know. Especially since its my first time with something like this!

simfileshare / patreon mirror (always free) [6.9MB]

If the anon who asked me about tombstone defaults back in September is seeing this, I have some good news for you! I shared these as a part of Twelve Days of GoSmas event as GoS, and you all should definitely head there to see all the other goodies shared by talented creators because there sure are many. 

This DR replaces all the Maxis tombstones with TS3 ones, but instead of original plaques (that showed the cause of death in TS3) they have plaques that present the aspiration of the deceased sim. I used these beautiful 3t2 conversions by @shastakiss with the following logic:

The moderate tombstone (stone) is replaced with base_gravestone_poor

Most aspiration tombstones (marble/gold) are replaced with  base_gravestone

Fortune sims who die with their aspiration bar above gold will get base_gravestone_wealthy mesh instead (this way the whole graveyard doesn’t get filled with obelisks but some wealthy sims will still get them)

While working with these I had an idea that it would be really cool to have moderate tombstones use aspiration plaques as well, and I was very fortunate that @midgethetree agreed to help me with that! So with this default replacement, all sims will get an aspiration plaque, but those sims who die with their aspiration bar above gold will end up with fancier tombstones. 

A couple more things you should know before using these:

If you zoom very close to tombstones in the neighborhood view you’ll notice that the plaques will appear empty

Without fixed templates, in certain premade neighborhoods some Maxis graves will have empty plaques in the lot view as well

If after moving a grave to another lot you notice that the shadow looks a bit funny and/or the mesh is facing to the wrong direction, just move the tombstone indoors (so that it turns to an urn) and back to fix it

The plaques on moderate tombstones have mirrored aspiration icons 

There are two package files included with the download and you absolutely need both for these to work. The other is a mesh and texture replacement by me, and the other is a mod that enables the aspiration plaques for moderate tombstones by Midge the Tree (thank you so much for letting me share it!). If anyone’s curious, these actually have a lot lower polycounts than the Maxis tombstones do, so no need to worry about that.

Download (SFS) - files are compressed and previews included. Nightlife is probably required. Please remember to remove any tombstone defaults you already have in your game before putting these in. 

Credits: Shasta for the 3t2 conversions and permission to use those, and kindly providing some additional help with one very persistent ground shadow. Midge for very unselfishly making the aspiration plaques for moderate tombstones possible and patiently fixing all the problems I found regarding them. @eddysims​ for the HQ icon pack I used for creating most of the aspiration plaques.

My Little Marimo Aquarium

A small aquarium from TS4 Snowy Escape. It’s purely decorative and sims cannot interact with it, but you can change the type of fish(they swim around!) in it through buy/build mode. Based on @maybesomethingdunno ‘s Tabletop Aquarium

Ok let’s go:

Cloning a neighborhood object with a thumbnail

First of - many thanks to @lowedeus for helping me out… to be honest, I did not have a single clue about this topic.

Cloning a neighborhood object is really easy, but when it comes down to an object with a thumbnail, things get a bit trickier.

I assume that you already have cloned the object - you just do it the normal way. Now replace the thumbnail, the textures, models, strings whatever and follow this segment to have the new thumbnail actually show up.

Select the thumbnail and go to the resource tab:

Then open Hash Generator to generate new values for the Instance and the Group.

Select ‘CRC 24′ and copy the generated Hash Value and insert it in the ‘Instance’ field.

Use the Hash Generator one more time and choose ‘CRC 32′ this time. Copy the Hash Value and paste it in the ‘Group’ field.

Now both values are different. Don’t forget to commit! I recommend to copy both new values for the next step.

Now choose ‘Neighborhood Object XML’ from the resource tree and select the usual plugin view. Scroll down and select and edit the following lines:

Now you know why I recommended you to copy the new values! As always, don’t forget to commit! Save and you’re done!

I haven’t seen a post on tumblr about this yet, so I’m making one. There is a new version of the Graphic Rules Maker and it seems to have helped quite a lot of people with pink flashing.

Check out this MTS thread.

Here’s the new GRM

Space-themed crib beddings!

When I played the Sergeant-Hawk household, I noticed that I’m lacking space-themed crib beddings, so I got myself and made some! I used the same 3 patterns from Freepik that I did on my beddings, plus 2 galaxy textures I found on my computer (I have no idea where I got them, sorry), so it has 5 recolors. That’s it :)

4t2 Snowy Escape Belted Sweater

I got an anonymous request to convert this sweater, so here it is. YF/AF, 9 EA swatches, and a fat morph (no pregnancy morph this time as the belt made it really difficult to deal with the stomach area). It’s categorized as everyday and outerwear (quick update: fixed the categories so this doesn’t inappropriately display in the pregnancy category, thanks @themeasureofasim​).
