The Sims 2 Simblr

I made a thing for the GOS monthly theme “Hobby Lobby”!

hello everyone! i'm very excited to share this! i bring you some food clutter from sulainey, but functional (ㅅ´ ˘ `), meaning you can buy and stock on fridges! also, you can sell them in your grocery shops (..◜ᴗ◝..) it was thanks to belladovah for the inspiration and deedee's tutorial that i was able to do this ⁠♡ hope you like it and enjoy! i will be making more in the future ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡  i tested it, but let me know if you have any issues ♡︎

This is a custom social mod and a template for custom social interactions. It adds the interaction "Ask about Work" under the Ask menu. The mod is a simple interaction that provides two results and two dialogs based on the Sim you are asking's Job performance.

In order to make custom social interactions that don't conflict with major mods, we use what is called a "Social Plug-in". It consists of a controller file and an interaction file, two invisible objects that get spawned on your Sim's lot and commands the Sims to do the interaction.

This will be a brief tutorial that assumes you already know a good bit about SimPe and BHAV editing. I will post a PDF of a more in-depth tutorial.

First, give your interaction and the controller new GUIDs using the Hash Generator under Tools.

Controller

CT - Object Menu acts as the Guardian for the interaction. It determines whether or not it is appropriate for the pie menu interaction to show up

CT- Object Menu Command is what spawns the interaction object and actually pushes the Social interaction. The interaction object's GUID must be plugged in to Node 5.

Action Strings is where you plug in the actual text for what you see in-game. Notice the three dots and the slash mark. This is how actions can be placed into Submenus such as "Ask" or "Talk". In order to put an interaction into the Ask submenu, you just write "Ask.../(your interaction)".

Interaction

Interaction - Person A codes for what the initiating Sim does. Animations, facial expressions, etc. Animations can be plugged into the Animate Sim primitive using text found in game files. They are found by the Animate Sim primitive in a text list. Here is a tutorial about how to find in-game animations: Mod The Sims - Tutorial: Making Your First Custom BHAV . If your anim name starts with "soc" then you must use the Anims-Social text list, 0x0083. If your anim name starts with "a", you must use Anims- Adult text list 0x0081. In my template, you can ignore "Anims-Social" unless your anims start with “soc”.

Interaction - Person B codes for what the receiving Sim does, and here, you can add dialogs if necessary. When using a dialog, you may want to play around with the Stack Object ID but if you get any errors, it's likely because the Stack Object ID gets lost. In order to make sure the Stack Object ID is set to the invisible social object, use "Stack Object ID := My Current Interaction Object ID." You can see how this works in the template.

Set Result is the trickiest but it's very important. It actually codes for whether or not the Sim rejects or accepts the social. I suggest looking at other "Set Result" BHAVS in objects.package to see what is going on, because mine is very simple. It simply checks the Sim's job performance. Other Set Result BHAVs check for mood and relationship levels. Pay special attention to how the invisible object has attributes. For example, Person A is an attribute of the social object and it stands for the Sim initiating. Person B stands for the Sim receiving. Once again, when playing around with the Stack Object (you can see where I did this when I check job performance), it can lose the invisible object so once again, I used Stack Object ID := My Current Interaction Object ID.

Social and Relationship Change codes for the numerical amount that is added or subtracted from the two Sim's relationship, and Social drain/gain if any. It uses Locals to shift around numbers for use in the final BHAV which adjusts the Sim's relationship accordingly using the values that are set in the Locals.

TTAB Just make sure Interaction A is Line 0 and Interaction B is Line 1, and set up the TTAS accordingly

Dialogs (if you want to use them)

BCONS are there for use in Social and Relationship Change and Set Result if you need them. Do not mess with “Interaction Results”!

This is the only thing I uploaded to GoS that can be considered in any way recent (and probably the only thing anyone might want tbh), so in light of recent events, here it is:

Bioshock Infinite Seasonal Plants: SFS | Mediafire

UPDATED 01/06/26

TS1 inspired UI replacement (Beta 2.0)

Changes:

-Mootilda's Subhood Selection fix now works correctly (if you have this -mod already, please remove it as it is built in) -Updated a ton of icons and ui elements to look prettier -Fixed dark unchanged text

Future updates:

-Adding animated loading screens -Anything I missed or think needs changing -That bulldozer icon that is weird to press

Wtf is this?:

Some of you might have seen my TS1 inspired UI floating around twitter, tumblr, discord etc. I've been having people test it in the Lazy Duchess discord but i've decided to upload it here for others to test and so no one else can claim they made it themselves lol. Sorry for the lazy photos but basically it's a recoloured version of the original UI. Pretty much all the elements are done. I'll keep updating until it is done basically. It's made to suit my resolution which is 1920x1080 but I will add the options for wider screens at a later date. Also not sure how well it works with Legacy editon so just be aware that it might display weird

Install instructions

Place the TS1 UI folder into your downloads.

These are the main files needed

Download

(updated to add version 2.0. Please delete old files before installing new version)

Place this file into your base game UI folder which should be in a directory similar to this "Program Files x86\EA Games\Sims 2\TSData\Res\UI"

This file replaces the background on the main loading menu as it looks weird without it. It is a placeholder.

Download

Do not delete any of the files in your UI folder. (Please)

If you are already using Clean UI or any other UI replacement, Please uninstall them first. They cannot be used together

I need everybody to stop, pause, make some really tight fists with their hands, now shake them out.

Now breathe in, all the way. Hold it - 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 - now breathe out. Now do that twice more.

There are still efforts going on behind the scenes to get GOS back online (and Sims 2 Artists).

New hosting has been secured. The website php needs upgrading and this has not been working, but people are still working on it.

I know its hard when things happen and you don't know what's going on. But please, everyone, just calm down. Instead of panicking, jumping to conclusions, making angry posts, just chill, wait, breathe. Be kind, ask what's happening without getting mad.

I'm usually forgiving of TS2's goofy aesthetics, but the Family Fun undersea set has always bothered me to no end. That chair alone is an eldritch object of horror, something that only Cthulhu could love.

So! I made some replacements.

No judgment if you like the originals, but I thought I'd share in case other folks would like less bonkers options.

sadly GOS is now gone which is a huge loss. gos hosted lots of events over the years and brought so much content along with it. for years it was not as active, which is a shame, and now its no longer here.

this is gonna be really difficult as a lot of cc on GoS was usually only ever shared on GoS and nowhere else

The news of what happened to GOS makes this a good time to mention, probably, something that I didn't mention earlier because of the hate I received when I scraped GOS.

Edit of EarlyPleasantview's magic duel

This is an edit of @earlypleasantview's Magic Duel.

To my knowledge EPV's mod has never left testing stage, but I've been using it for years with only some minor issues. Thus, I decided to polish it's rough edges a bit. :) I also changed filenames to make them more distinguishable.

From EPV's description of the mod:

Dueling – how it works – Available for Witches/Warlocks. Non-autonomous. Needs at least one selectable witch/warlock. Builds Magic Skill, but does not affect alignment. Non fatal. Scoring is based on Magic skill level, Plus number of successful hits. The Sim with the highest magic skill and the most successful hits win and a random magic reagent is placed in their inventory. Successful Hits – Every Body point gives a Sim a 7% chance of dodging out of spell’s way. Every Logic point gives a Sim a 7% chance of predicting that the other Sim is going to dodge and hitting them anyway. Round ends when one Sim casts five spells or when both Sims cast three spells each.

I made changes to the dodging mechanic. Now Sims will jump forth and back, instead of only jumping back, which looked like teleporting. Moreover, I added a chance of parrying an attack instead of jumping away - chance of dodging/parrying still depends on the body skill, but now witches/wizards with high magic skill have a chance of parrying. I converted two parry animations from TS3 magic duel. :)

Additionally, I added projectiles - if a Sim dodges or parries an attack, you'll be able to see a jet of light flying in their direction. For this mechanic you need my file called "Meduza_AccObjectBending", included in the upload. However, there are no projectiles if a hit is successful, because I also like an idea of spells working remotely and it felt like a good compromise.

The duel will work without the projectiles object, but you won't get cool effects.

Wandless magic

This is an edit of @midgethetree's Pick Your Wand.

I edited @gryning's version, so it includes their TS4 wands.

Replace original files with my edit.

With this edit, your witches and wizards can cast spells without a wand. You need to buy "Magic Hands" trait, found in General/Misc for $0. This trait is different from other traits - placing it in Sim's inventory won't do anything.

You NEED to click on it as select "Set As Wand" option. After that you can place the trait in Sim's inventory, but that's not necessary.

Alternatively, buy one of wand stands and choose "Change Wand…/Magic Hands".

I decided to find out what would happen if I forced the game to use all 4 textures for wet and dry areas. So I changed the settings in NeighborhoodTerrain.ini of the last EP and it works: all existed textures are rendered now.

before:

; for temperate terrain 0x01=0.9,nh-temperate-wet,2, lottexture-test-01, 0,1, 26,0 0x04=0.9,nh-temperate-drydry,3, lottexture-test-01, 0,1, 26,0

after:

; for temperate terrain 0x01=0.9,nh-temperate-wet,4, lottexture-test-01, 0,1, 26,0 0x04=0.9,nh-temperate-drydry,4, lottexture-test-01, 0,1, 26,0

The first two screenshots are a view with test materials:

Here you can see the difference between the default and edited looks with game textures:

Well, in dry areas, the textures look good and varied, which is great, but the difference isn't that big.

In wet areas, unfortunately, the additional textures aren't seamless and look very different. But for default replacements, this may look good.

@teaaddictyt and I are back again with another (HUGE) update that changes basically everything. It is recommended to delete vehicle maintenance 1.2 and start from scratch here since here have been lots of fixes, changes, and additions.

Fixes / Updates / Improvements:

Some files have been renamed for better organization (Me)

Fixed motor oil's category, the "Function - Init" wasn't setting it properly (Tea)

Fixed & Updated Code for Maintenance Checks and Decay. Added new checks and organized (Me)

Fixed animation strings for the fuel pump, bhavs were calling on the wrong animations (Me)

Fixed a coding mistake in the "add fuel from jerry can" interaction, this is working now (Me)

Updated all objects "keep buying" when holding shift in buy mode (Tea)

Updated the parking block object footprint and reduced to one OBJD (Tea)

Recategorized Dee's parking meter to driveway category to match with parking block (Tea)

Updated deviance interactions (Steal battery, Slash Tire, Siphon Fuel) available to any sim who meets criteria: Sims in criminal career or with evil trait, now uses "Easy Inventory Check", added availability for sims with <= 2 nice personality points, removed limitation on family members being deviant on family car and replaced with relationship checks (Tea & I)

Updated the quality of oil depend on sim's mechanical skill during an at home oil change (Tea)

Added motive changes for Deviant interactions, depending on niceness personality points and/or traits (Tea)

Added maintenance interactions edited to check 1) is it a community lot? 2) is it a business lot? 3) is it a service station? 4) am I staff / family / employee? (Tea)

Added motives gain & loss for vehicle maintenance will differ slightly if sim has "Vehicle Enthusiast" trait or not (Tea)

Merged Interactions into one and removed unnecessary/bugged code, saving space and instance numbers (Me)

New BCONS! Maintenance is now tunable, as well as all maintenance objects in their individual files (Me)

New motor oil mesh and texture (Me)

New animation for the "Add fuel from jerry can" interaction (Me)

New animation for the "Change Oil" Interaction (Me)

Updated Fuel Pumps, Each pump had been split in half to allow access on both sides (meaning a double-sided pump is now two tiled) (Me)

Updated Tires, you now have 4 separate tires to deal with (Me)

Updated CAPS to check if the driveway is empty before linking to it, fixing problems with new updates (Me)

Updated "Check Fuel Gauge" interaction. Sims no longer need to be sitting in the car to check the fuel level (Me)

Updated Tire meshes and textures (Extracted from DeeDee's Tire Pile) Two versions, one with a rim and one without, all three of these objects can exist in your downloads folder simultaneously (Me)

Updated Car Wash mesh, slightly moved over to accommodate additions (Me)

Maintenance interactions are now available if the object is on the lot or in sims inventory (Tea & I)

New custom semiglobal dialog strings. This will help avoid conflict with other mods, as well as having nicer, neater code (Tea & I)

The "Go To Casino" addon/interaction has been removed since I stumbled upon These

Additions:

Edited all driveways with a new routing slot, this should make working on engine look more realistic (Tea)

Storage Tire Rack. Store Tires @ Home / OFB Tire Rack. Sims can now buy/sell tires on business lots (Tea & I)

Added new code parking blocks and parking meters to spawn in and out cars every so often (random intervals) to simulate cars arriving and leaving the lot. This means all parking meters and parking blocks will now try to find an empty, unused driveway to "link to" Intervals are shorter on a "servo" lot, longer on any other lot (uses Mog's original code). These spawned in cars have a new limited tree table with maintenance & deviant options only, along with having a 50% chance of having an alarm installed (Tea)

Added & edited a new modded object: Engine Hoist by Oce / Blue Heaven Sims. This object can spawn in cars needing maintenance so a sim can work on the car and be paid for a service. They are paid $50 x their mechanical skill (Tea)

Added New Feature - Engine. Driving a vehicle with low oil and/or fuel will decrease the condition of the vehicles engine, which can lead to engine failure (Me)

Added new modded objects: Fuel Maintenance Hole, Fuel Maintenance System. The Maintenance Hole will restock nearby fuel pumps. When empty, owners and employees unlock the interaction "Order Fuel Delivery" on the Fuel Maintenance System. I did it this way, so each pump doesn't have to be restocked individually. It's also more realistic in my experience from working at a gas station. Fuel price is based on the BCON in the main vehicle maintenance file, the "set price" interaction will go off of that and do maths :) (Me)

New Compatibility Patches (Tea & I)

Vehicle Maintenance & Taxi's Charge Money

Burglars And Alarms & Visit Other Sims

Taxi's Charge Money & Visit Other Sims

Institution Sign & Visit Other Sims

Added Fuel/Car Wash Simulations (With Traits). Sims from the neighborhood who own a car and have a driver's license will now arrive under conditions (spawn in if their schedule is cleared, with weather checks and Traits: Hydrophobic, Loves The Rain, Loves The Cold, Night Owl) at gas stations to get a random amount of fuel or wash their vehicle, which is paid to the business, but not actually taken from the sim. Passengers can spawn in if their schedule is cleared and they meet various criteria: spouses, children, friends, along with weather checks and traits (Hydrophobic, loves the rain, loves the cold, night owl, loner, social butterfly, family oriented). Basically, we made actual functional gas stations/car washes. Yes, you read that correctly! :)))) (You can ban sims with visitor blocker) When recoloring a vehicle after a sim takes ownership, you can click the "Update Vehicle Token" which will update the token to be the correct color for when they spawn in (Tea & I)

Known Issues:

during fuel/car wash simulations, some vehicles will not let sims snap to slots. to combat this, they just disappear and leave until I can figure out a better solution (slots will be the death us)

Almost every vehicle has a different length, so animations for getting to the hood can be goofy, or spot on! like i said, the slots will take us out. some pics for comparison (i stole these from Tea lol):

The OFB tire rack gives back the business a small percentage of the tires price, instead of a larger amount and I don't know how to combat this (if anyone wants to help, OFB code is a nightmare lol)

Requirements:

The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection OR Disc Version, All Expansions & Stuff Packs (Either recommended)

Installation:

All wanted files go into This PC > Documents > The Sims 2 > Downloads This is designed to be as compatible as possible with all other car mods. You can choose which ones you want to have, just make sure to load them before any vehicle maintenance content. If you were playing with all car mods (that I know of) the setup would look something like this:

DOWNLOAD: SFS

Happy Simming :)

Installation is easier, compatibility patching should be easier, all pie menus are better organised and easier to navigate.

There's also a version of my "Go Out with Cars" included, along with a version of my new mod for "Go Out Return Time Notification". These are all in the "add-ons" folder when you download the mod.

I am committing to continuing to help out with bug reports and compatibility as things come up x

Changeable Game Boards

I love @jacky93sims invisible chess board and I'm planning to use it everywhere all the time. But what if it was easier to switch the game board?

So I present...changeable game boards!

With one board, you can choose between all the options Jacky converted from ATS, plus two from @decat2's ACNH conversions.

All the games are included in the download. The alternate games don't show up in the catalog to eliminate clutter, but you need all the files for it to work.

Unfortunately, changing the model this way removes the ability to change the recolor, so it's one option each. But I did change the GUIDs so they don't overwrite the originals if want the recolor options. You'll just have to place those the old-fashioned way.

Enjoy watching your sims play something other than chess! :)

Here's my collab with wonderful @gummilutt - now we can have suitcase variety in the game! :D

🎨 Color Traits Mod:

BV Suitcase Default

Maxis Match OR Modern

Download: SFS Modern suitcase polycount: 1272

⚠️This mod requires Color Traits created by Epi @episims AND Trait Globals by @picknmixsims to work!

As all color trait mods, it makes the suitcase appear in Sim's favourite color (one of 12), if color trait is present in Sim's inventory. Grey is the default shade. You can choose between original suitcase or hardshell suitcase.

🔺Conflicts:

Pets and toddlers on Vacation by @lamare-sims - Suitcase mod needs to load AFTER Lamare's mod (add "zzz" suffix to the filename to make it load last).

BV suitcase texture replacements are not compatible with this. Also, modern default will clash with objects that use original Eaxis suitcase texture.

You may also be interested in decorative mini-sets based on suitcase mesh and textures:

Decorative Suitcases

Hardshell Suitcase & Maxis Match Suitcase

Download: SFS | BOX

Both meshes found in Buymode/General/Dressers, recolors are merged.

Made this for myself, but figured someone would want to use it as well. This edit is for the Regular Version, though I have no issues on making an edit for the Pay Version too.

With this edit, children can now throw parties (BHAVs "borrowed" from @belladovah's mod) in general and those parties can be hosted in community lots (thanks to Midge's tutorial here) as well. As for children, besides Maxis parties, Pool Parties (I think they were enabled for all ages actually) and Slumber Parties have also been made available for them.

Of course, my edit will conflict with Simler's original mod AND BellaDovah's children can throw parties - remove their packages and replace them with mine.
