New Hair System: Back to Maxis (Part 1 of ???)

A little while back, I switch to using actual Maxis-Match hair exclusively in an attempt to curb a hair hoarding problem and decided to recolor a bunch of Maxis Match hair in the New Hair System palette (Dynamite, Depth Charge, Incendiary, Pyrotechnic, Mail Bomb) to match my texture defaults.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE: Because these were meant for personal use, I replaced texture in others’ packages instead of making my own. To make things easier for y’all, I’ve included a guide of whose packages are whose here.

All meshes are included where needed. Binned with gray linked to black. 

Some of the hairs are linked to specific EPs, which are indicated in the hair guide linked above.

This is an older mod by Dizzy (dizzy2 on MTS) that stops the game from regenerating a Sim’s thumbnail/portrait every time they change their clothes, like pre-AL Sims 2.

Requires a cracked M&G executable

EXE Patcher: SFS / Dropbox

ASI Mod for Sims2RPC: SFS / Dropbox

This is not fully my work, I just edited the original code to look for your Ultimate Collection install on top of your M&G one, and if that doesn’t work then you can also place the patcher in the same spot as your Sims2EP9.exe and run it from there as administrator. 

If it keeps telling you that the file data doesn’t match, then your game is probably already patched or you’re not on the cracked executable.

This is a 4to2 conversion from Littlbowbub, low poly. You can use it as a functional edible box (found in kitchen-miscellaneous) from which sims can take and eat one type of cookie (it will spoil after 2 days) or as a decoration (found in deco-miscellaneous). I also added a Sewing Box version because it's canon :D

------------------------------

I couldn't stop myself from giving this mod such an awful title. xD

This mod gives children and teenagers a chance of bringing home school project instead of standard written homework.

There are in total 6 school projects converted from TS4 Parenthood: bridge, castle, electricity, rocket, solar system and volcano.

Kids have a chance of bringing the following three projects: castle, solar system and volcano. Teens have a chance of bringing the following three projects: bridge, electricity and rocket.

Chance of bringing a school project is by default 20%, but it can be tuned in BCON "Tuning - School Project" of group 0x7FBE051B and instance 0x0000200A.

School projects take longer to finish (by about 1/4 longer), but are more rewarding, letting your Sims gain some skills, hobby enthusiasm and even badges, making school actually useful. 😉

Bridge makes your Sims gain mechanical skill and tinkering enthusiasm.

Castle makes your Sims gain creativity skill and arts enthusiasm.

Electricity makes your Sims gain mechanical skill, robotery badge and tinkering entusiasm.

Rocket makes your Sims gain logic skill, toy making badge and science enthusiasm.

Solar system makes your Sims gain mechanical skill and science enthusiasm.

Volcano makes your Sims gain logic skill and nature enthusiasm.

Skill, badge and enthusiasm gain isn't that great, but it's there.

You won't see the skill meter above your Sim's head, because apparently there can be only one meter at a time.

Sims have a chance of making school project of one of three qualities: poor, good and excellent.

The outcome depends on skill and badge corresponding the project, getting help with school project (but it only counts if it happens during quality check) and traits:

clumsy Sims will always get penalty,

technophobes wil get penalty when working on electricity and rocket,

'can't stand art' Sims will get penalty when working on castle,

geniuses and perfectionists will always get bonus,

handy Sims will get bonus when working on electricity and rocket,

artistic and avant garde Sims will get bonus when working on castle.

Bonuses do not stack. Penalties also don't. So if your Sim is genius and perfectionist, they will get only one bonus. Bonus and penalty can cancel each other out.

When making castle, your SIms will hold a crayon instead of a pencil. While working on the electricity project Sims will hold a screwdriver. In case of other projects Sims will still use pencil, because I haven't decided what else would fit. 😅

If you use smonaff’s Fall Asleep While Doing Homework, Sims who have fallen asleep can't make a project of excellent quality - it will be good at best.

Additionally, if you have @earlypleasantview's conversions of TS4 School Projects in your downloads, upon completion of a project a project will be placed in your Sim's inventory. The only exception is the castle as various qualities are recolors of the object, so you will have to manually set the recolor you want it to be.

Conflicts

This mod conflicts with a bunch of mods:

it is not compatible with Dave Luv's faster homework. You can make both mods work if you open my mod and change values in lines 0, 2 and 6 to hex 0x0019 (dec 25) in the BCON of group 0x7FF4DCC2 and instance 0x00001001 and make my mod load after Dave Luv's mod,

if you are using simler90's Homework Assignment Mod, choose plug-in zz_Meduza_Simler90_HomeworkProject_AssignmentFull and make it load after both my mod and simler90's mod,

if you are using simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (Placement Version), choose plug-in zz_Meduza_Simler90_HomeworkProject_AssignmentPlacement and make it load after both my mod and simler90's mod,

if you are using simler90's Homework Help Mod, choose plug-in zz_Meduza_Simler90_HomeworkProject_HomeworkHelp and make it load after both my mod and simler90's mod,

if you are using smonaff's Fall Asleep While Doing Homework, choose plug-in called zz_Meduza_Smonaff_HomeworkProjectFallAsleep and make it load after both my mod and smonaff's mod,

if you are using @episims' Pencils by Color Traits, choose plug-in called zz_Meduza_Epi_SchoolProject_ColorPencils (or zz_Meduza_Epi_SchoolProject_ColorCrayonPencil if you are also using @episims' Activity Table Crayons by Color Traits) and make it load after both my mod and Epi's mod,

if you are using @episims' Activity Table Crayons by Color Traits, choose plug-in called zz_Meduza_Epi_SchoolProject_ColorCrayon (or zz_Meduza_Epi_SchoolProject_ColorCrayonPencil if you are also using Epi's Pencils by Color Traits) and make it load after both my mod and Epi's mod,

if you have @midgethetree's No Buses, choose plug-in called zz_Meduza_Midge_SchoolProject_NoBuses and make it load after both my mod and Midge's "midgethetree_nobuses" or "midgethetree_nobuses-returnwithlimo" (whichever you are using),

if you have Jenflower's Homework Sometimes, choose file called zz_Jenflower_homeworksometimes_AL_Meduza_SchoolProject (if you have AL, M&G, UC or LC) or zz_Jenflower_homeworksometimes_BON_Meduza_SchoolProject (if your latest EP is Bon Voyage), delete Jen's original mod and make my edit load after my mod,

if you have kestrellyn's Ask Anyone For Homework Help, choose one of the following files zz_askanyoneforhomeworkhelp_Meduza_SchoolProject, zz_askanyoneforhomeworkhelp+owner_Meduza_SchoolProject, zz_askanyoneforhomeworkhelp+owner-noskillcheck_Meduza_SchoolProject or zz_askanyoneforhomeworkhelp-noskillcheck_Meduza_SchoolProject, delete kestrellyn's original mod and make my edit load after my mod,

This mod is not compatible with Cyjon's Harder Homework. There's no compatibility plug-in as of now. Maybe I'll make one later, but right now I'm dead inside after converting 40 meshes. 😫

Some of the mods for that I've made compatibility plug-ins are already incompatible, so:

DO NOT use my edit of Jenflower's Homework sometimes and plug-in for MidgeTheTree's No Buses at the same time - these two mods are incompatible.

DO NOT use my edit of Jenflower's Homework sometimes and my edit of Cyjon's Harder Homework and plug-in for simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (Full version) - these three mods are incompatible.

DO NOT use my edit of kestrellyn's Ask Anyone For Homework Help and plug-in for simler90's Homework Help Mod at the same time - these two mods are incompatible.

DO NOT use my plug-in for simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (both Full and Placement versions) and my plug-in for MogHughson's Desk Locator - these mods are incompatible.

I'm not planning on making any more compatibility plug-ins for this mod. I can safely assume 16 plug-ins is enough.

ETA 7th of February 2026: @heathensimmer shared their compatibility patches for Simler90’s School Work Lecture and @lilbabydilljr Homework Sometimes based on traits. Go check them out!

ETA 28th of April 2026: @blueybre shared his compatibility patches for simler90’s School Work Lecture Mod and Phaenoh’s Summer Vacation Winters Day AND piqiwi’s Prom + Afterschool Activity. Thanks a lot!

If ever you struggled with how to hide the necessary pool tile for the sea/pond water mod? I have, and so has my friend @ladyvondolladay. She had an idea, and I made it a reality.

I present to you — the terrain rug. A two poly sheet with terrain paint textures that you can slap over your pool tile and hide it completely. Thank you @picknmixsims for sharing the shader info I needed to make the texture actually blend in this perfectly!

There are recolors to match all 30 maxis terrains, swatch folder is included. I chose to only do full strength, as the combinations quickly get out of hand otherwise. If you are interested in making your own recolors to match custom terrains or common blends you use, I'll include an explanation of how I did it under the cut.

You'll find it in deco/rugs, it costs nothing. 2 poly, textures are 256x256.

Download on simfileshare

Credits: Calibrat who helped me with the names of terrains in English for swatch purposes. LadyVonDolladay for the original idea. @pforestsims who suggested the problem with getting texture to match might be shader related.

Miette's Cat Cafe: CC-Free Residential/Business

The indie game Calico is an adorable cat cafe simulator with character customization, interior decorating, and being able to pet/hold every single animal you meet in the game!

Unfortunately one potential downside is that Calico isn't very challenging in terms of business management - But if there's one game I know with challenging business management, it's Open for Business lol

So yeah this is basically a copy of the cat cafe from the game Calico! In that game you're able to decorate/color the interior however you want, so I took some liberties there. Also Calico's proportions aren't very compatible with TS2 proportions, so in order to not have the most gigantically empty kitchen ever built I cut it short and left an empty square in one corner.

It took quite a bit more playtesting than my lots normally do, because I don't play businesses that much and I had trouble figuring out how to make it the most like a cat cafe.

From my experimenting, it seems that the best I can do is charging visitors with an Electrono-Ticket Machine, not marking anything in the Decra-Chill Displays for sale (so they're only there as decoration), and serving desserts for free.

I mean you can mark the display cases for sale if you want, but even while using the ticket machine sims will just buy something from the display then leave. Plus they'd only be buying items, not ordering food then eating it like you would irl. So for them to act the most like people in a cat cafe would in real life (ie playing with the cats and eating desserts), charge them with the ticket machine then serve food for free.

So, after a rousing discussion on my Discord about ACR, Romantic Standards, various mods, conflicts, you name it, we discovered that ACR's jealousy was completely and utterly broken. Romantic Standards in, or out. Just like, broken 😂

Don't believe me? Check out this otherwise vanilla folder test, in which using the "casual" interactions menu, Don Lothario can waltz up to Nina Caliente and kiss, hit on, goose, whatever he likes in front of his fiance Cassandra Goth and she does not care AT ALL, until I accidentally click the vanilla Maxis "make out" interaction at the end and she finally gets mad:

This was Cassandra's jealousy setting for this test:

So, erm, that's not great 😂 Should probably fix that hey...

(Today I also learned that I can't upload more than 1 video per post lol, but I did film a second video using the same "casual.../romantic kiss" interaction which this time resulted in immediate jealousy).

So. Yeah.

Basically, there were 2 "casual / kiss" interactions that actually worked and triggered jealousy where appropriate, which were Casual / Kiss / Suck Face and Casual / Kiss / Dance Kiss.

The rest, ZERO response. All flirts, hugs and other kisses, broken.

So, I worked out what the differences were, and I fixed them.

Here you go:

Download

** IMPORTANT: THIS IS NOT A COMPLETE ACR REPLACEMENT**

I have only included the socials that needed to be fixed. You still need the original ACR Controller Main files from either here or SimGiggleGirl's Romantic Standards compatible version here. But if you already have ACR, you will want to replace all of the socials with these versions.

And if anyone is curious, yes this totally works as intended alongside Midge's version of Romantic Standards. This mod is heavy and you've gotta read through the documentation, but here's a screenshot of my Romantic Standards files that work perfectly with ACR:

Thank you to @meltingmagnetz for opening my eyes to the issue, and to @guessimate and @katatty for contributing to the discussion and helping with testing.

*Edit: oh yeah, I forgot to say, part of the fix involved removing a weird BHAV that checked for "Game Engine Version" so, if you're not playing with Ultimate Collection or similar (full packs), I can't 100% guarantee this will work for you.

Miles Shirt + Trousers with Maxis Hands (for Female Sims)

An edit to powerpc's conversion of this mid-century-looking suit. For some reason I made this an entirely new outfit instead of just replacing the mesh... but I did convert it for teens and elders! Maybe someday I'll do the male version, too, but frankly there are already an overabundance of suits for men.

TF and EF repo'd to AF, all morphs.

I've always hated how the camera jumps up and down when playing tall and slim buildings. Turns out, it's really easy to fix! It’ll take you less than a minute. All the details under the cut.

hey! sorry about that, i've reuploaded them and you can access them here.

Honeygold Redux Face Edit - a skinblend(?)

I made this edit in 2023 for personal use as stated previously and I can't entirely remember what I used to create this edit but I've been thinking about it a lot and I've recalled a few things.

Based on dreadpirate's Honeygold Redux -- it uses the same files as the original skins, so you can't use them at the same time as HGR or Lilith's Marigold skins.

I think the noses and lips are a blend of the original skins and Pooklet's My Poor Lover (hence the subtle nose shine), nose definition is borrowed from Io's 0320 skins, elder wrinkles are borrowed from Nopke, the tongue texture is borrowed from SixFootBlue's Moonfruit skinblend (separated from the skins themselves by DigitalAngels), and the spotted alien face markings are borrowed from Petchy's alien spots.

If I remember correctly I did my best to eliminate artifacting on darker skintones but I can't make guarantees...

Bodies are untouched because I only cared about editing the face.

The alien skin has subtle blue detailing on and around the lips and eyelids, as well as blue gums and a blue tongue texture, because I've always hated it when skin creators forget that aliens canonically have blue blood in the Sims 2 universe and just make them green humans.

No supernatural addons because I mainly use overlays.

Ladybug Eyes - an eyeset in 36 colors, mswn v3 sclera

Based on the famous Beetle Eyes by Squea converted 4t2 by Falkii, layered with Kahlenas' Hypnotic Eyes which are based on the Window Seat eyes by Mouseyblue, then edited and recolored a lot.

The catchlight is slightly bigger, sharper, and much brighter, and the colors are more vibrant as I like eyes that have vibrant (albeit human) colors.

I made two full sets of human defaults + alien default. You get two options: dark blue as dark blue, and dark blue as hazel because I've decided that for my game having two blue colors is redundant.

If you want dark blue as dark blue, you can keep the custom hazel and toss the custom dark blue. If you want dark blue as hazel, you can keep the custom dark blue and toss the custom hazel. There's no point in having both custom and default of either.

36 custom colors - including the default colors as custom, in case you don't want to replace your defaults with these.

For the human colors you have custom only, geneticized, or geneticized and townified options. Pick only ONE. (Genetic scale is based on Maxis's and is set to 1 for brown, hazel, and dark blue, and 2 for grey, green, and light blue).

Alien colors are custom only and are not townified, their genetic values and whether or not they generate on townies can be adjusted as you see fit.

You also have the option of the custom alien colors as contact lenses, found in the blush category. They are layerable with other blushes and can be used alongside the custom alien eyes.

There are some other supernatural options but I didn't make defaults for those because I just put them on my pre-existing supernatural skins instead. Those are included in PNG form.

This set comes with a folder full of transparent PNG files and a set of PSDs that you can use for literally anything you want - resclera them, put them on your skins, edit them until they look completely different - as long as it stays free.

With DXVK and S3SS living their high days, older Sims 3 installment guides are rapidly starting to become outdated. So here's a brand new and up-to-date step-by-step guide to go through when you do a fresh install of your game that will help you get the best performance you could possibly imagine for this old and laggy gem of a game.

Have Sims 3 installed, but is it performing abhorrently? I highly recommend a fresh install. You don't have to delete your saves or mods. Just get yourself a fresh bin to work with by uninstalling, going into your program files The Sims 3 folder and deleting any remnant files still in there. Then follow my guide!
