Sims 2
Burglars and repo people are taking over in this update! More info after the cut!
EDIT: Small update below: ROSs should stop popping up right upon loading a lot.
The Scope of This Update
There is now a chance that burglars and repo people can visit a maximum number of 4 times in a 24 hour span in a row. That means burglaries can happen in broad daylight, and repo people can reclaim your Sims' items as they see fit.
Burglars will steal a max of 2000 simoleons (tunable) worth of items. The repo person will reclaim 1000 simoleons (tunable) worth of items with a minimum of 100 simoleons worth of items to trigger them.
There is also a ROS where your Sim can annoy a walkby (tuned at a max of 20 times), which comes by immediately after the ROS.
For the car repairs ROS, I added a check to see if there is actually a car on the lot. I had to remove the job check for the job ROS as something got messed up with the code. *shrug* I'll fix that in another update, so if your Sim is already unemployed and loses their job, disregard for now.
False returns don’t require a 24 hour (or however long you set the cool-down period) wait.
Conflicts
This mod is somehow blocked by @lazyduchess Story Progression (SP), despite having a unique GUID (0x00E1C028) but works fine loading BEFORE SP. Thank you to @cityof2morrow for originally reporting this! There shouldn’t be any other conflicts. The mod should load BEFORE: 1) story progression, 2) global overrides (visiting/go to work/hospitals/go to school/etc), 3) vehicles/phones/cars cost money, and 4) the religions mod.
Please remember to remove the older versions of this mod.

My daughter, who is a Sims4 player, showed me this and I really loved it! It was an limited time Event Reward for the "Deck the Palms" event, so I don't know how publicized it's been.
I am a big fan of little free libraries (see LittleFreeLibrary.org for information about the movement) and I really wanted these for my game.
Although the S4 version is functional, mine is just deco since I'm not skilled enough for animations. It does have 2 subsets, so the books can be mixed and matched with the wood colors. The flat fake lights around the roof have been removed. All S4 recolors included.
The lovely @orquanos asked if I'd be interested in converted the Showtime Hollywood sign as a NH object, and I absolutely was!
I decided to make it light up as well so it better matches the way it looks in TS3 (but you'll need Criquette's Better Nightlife Mod). I edited the mesh a bit to make it more mountain-friendly, so the poles should be long enough to sit on top of relatively mild slopes (if the hill is too steep some of the letters will get eaten).
Just FYI, it has already been converted as on-lot objects here by Haliseazale if you'd prefer a version you can assemble yourself.
Can we please not do this? Apart from this potentially causing problems for people on other operating systems (lots of ppl playing on SteamDeck nowadays too!), this just inflates the file name length for no reason.
A file name is not supposed to look fancy, it's just supposed to tell people what it is and who created it. Thanks.
Personally, I always name my files as follows:
bnb_NameOfObject_additionalinfo.package ("additionalinfo" being MESH, colours or age and gender like af, tm, etc.)
It's short, to the point, legible and easy to organize imo.
PSA bc I also ran into this shit recently too. Please stop naming your CC poorly. JUST use letters and numbers. Dassit, no more no less. Cmon everybody, its very easy. 2026 year of naming CC correctly, let's goooooo
Bulk Rename Utility is pretty handy for adding creators’ names and replacing/removing unnecessary symbols. I’m unsure if there is something for Linux/Mac however.
I'm not sure what is going on. I have added the affected file to the filetable, and made sure the EPs and download folder also are within the filetable. I'm on version 0.77.69 of SimPE.
The resources aren't pointing to the other resources in the package file.
I've tried uninstalling, and reinstalling (manually) and I get the same result.
Has anyone else had this issue? How did you get the BHAVs and other resources to show up again?

The fridge model is by KKB, TS4 original can be found here. It was converted to TS2 by Pixelry / @thimblesims - please note original 4t2 recolors feature English fonts, so if you're not into that, check out @episims ' texture edits.
More info under the cut:
Preview above shows my edit of original 4t2 texture with Simlish fonts* and bright fridge interior
(please note I've only edited mesh texture. If you download original 4t2 recolors, or edits by Epi, those have dark fridge interior, but it looks a little bit better since my lightpattern brightens it)
/*I think all these are all by Franzilla/
Changes to the mesh file:
Moved joint, door don't float in the air when opened, repositioned hand slots
note: opening action is still awkward, some hand / arm clipping going on.
Edited model shape to make it less deep so Sims' heads don't sink into the upper part
Lowered food slot (food shows up on a shelf, and not floating above)
Food separated into "Contents" subset and made recolourable
"fridgemoderatestainless_transparent" subset (shelves) merged with the fridge subset
Added floor / wall shadows and glowing lightpattern inside a fridge
Edited fridge texture, English captions replaced with Simlish, edited fridge interior parts.
Added 256x256 px specular map to main recolor (adds shine to the fridge while cloth and decor stays matte)
Edited Price, from 100 S to 800 S
Edited file name
*I made the "contents" recolourable as last minute idea, and added one recolor for it (as a double-state subset, "contents" already have MMAT).
When the fridge is empty, and you switch recolors, it will reset the empty state visuals. Also, quite possibly re-filling empty fridge will reset food recolor to default.
Textures, including a plain version of various colors, and PSD with layers, can be found here (SFS) or here (BOX)
I used DXT1a for recolors (aside from black), so if you wish to keep this format, use YaPe editor to preview / replace textures, 'cuz SimPe has issues with it.
Note: I recommend using SimPe DXT3 / DXT5 for textures with dark colors, if quality is important.
You get LCD TV (20 in.), LCD TV (50 in.), Retro TV, TV with VCR, Wall-mounted TV (20 in.) and Wall-mounted TV (50 in.), as well as Vintage TV tray because why not? TV with VCR can be placed on surfaces, but the small LCD TV has to be. I also made the large LCD TV placeable on surfaces, but it's a bit wonky since it's a two-tile object. I'd suggest the SlotBlocker for any extra slots. Retro TV has a decorative slot because I thought it'd be fun.
I tried to keep prices and whatnot somewhat reasonable. Don't look too closely.
CALLING ALL BLACK TS2 SIMMERS!
Just wanted to make a quick official post that this community exists (using this sorta-crappy header I made last night at 2am...when I tell y'all I was STRUGGLING trying to find decent Maxis renders💀).
Community guidelines are pretty straightforward (read the pinned post for more information). Joining is on a request-only basis to combat pornbots and whatever else. Otherwise...LET'S GO!
Please reblog to help others find this space!
Green Thumbs and Gatherers can harvest more produce! More info after the cut! Shout out to Brian Briganntti (Redleaf Ranch) for the title idea.
To see more trait mods that have been done by the community, check out @noodlebelli’s 3to2 trait tracker here!
The Scope of This Mod
This mod allows Green Thumbs and Gatherers to harvest more produce from Maxis fruit trees and harvestable plants. Green Thumbs will harvest 5% more produce (tunable), and Gatherers will harvest 10% more produce (tunable). You may need to tune to your liking by increasing the numbers in the BCON if you don't have a mod like BoilingOil's More Realistic Yields.
Conflicts?
This mod has new BCONs/TRCNs (Instance x2050 for Plants and Trees respectively) and modifies Instance 0x201F for Orchard Trees (0x7F491269) and 0x2038 for Plants (0x7F383346).
This mod is compatible with BoilingOil's More Realistic Yields as their mod contains tuning files which I have not touched. This mod is also compatible with @lamare-sims Planting Overhaul.
Lifespan Patches for Skilling (+Trait Update) and Enthusiasm Gain/Decay
Play with lifespan mods and want to adjust how slowly a Sim gains a skill/hobby enthusiasm and loses hobby enthusiasm? Find out more after the cut.
To see more trait mods that have been done by the community, check out @noodlebelli’s 3to2 trait tracker here!
The Scope of These Mods
Skills:
This is an update to a patch of Simler90's SkillSpeedMod, the mod is likely to be required for this mod to work as there is a custom lua script that checks to see if a Sim is an alien. This mod also contains the trait changes from my previous Trait Skill Speed Mod/patch.
NOTE: I do not intend on updating the mod that doesn't have Simler90's code. Simler's code has a lot of great details that the vanilla code overlooked. I highly recommend having Simler's mod in your game!
Night Owls will gain skills faster after 9pm and before 6AM
(tunable)
Brooding Sims will gain skills slower if their mood is below 50, they will gain skills 25% slower. If their mood is below 25, they will gain skills 33% slower. Each is tunable.
Skill gain can be made proportional to the lifespan played in-game.
Skill gain can be made proportional to the length of university (set to 1x speed (default) across all versions.)
Hobby Enthusiasm
These are patches for tunaisafish's Enthusiasm Overhaul (available in reply 23 by @shastakiss). Note: in the enthusiasm-core package, you will need to delete (OR tune to your liking) the resource named "Tuning - Ticks per 1% skill gain" (or disable it by changing the group resource number to 0xFFFFFFFF. This will allow this patch to correctly take effect. You may experience MUCH slower enthusiasm gain if you don't remove/disable or edit the resource.
Enthusiasm gain/decay can be made proportional to the lifespan played in-game.
Enthusiasm gain/decay can be made proportional to the length of university (set to 1x speed (default) across all versions.)
If you use lifespan mods, I recommend removing any skilling/enthusiasm tuning mods. I use @matti2k2's 16 Days = 1 year lifespan and have removed the 10x skilling time file from my downloads folder. As an example for Matti's mod, I use the 66% Slower Skill Gain, 3x Slower Enthusiasm Gain, and 10x Slower Enthusiasm Decay. I use Cyjon's Semester Changes in place of the 8 day University that Matti has provided, so skilling at Uni would be default in my game.
Conflicts: Currently known? The above mods. If you have any tuning mods that change the speed of skills or enthusiasm gain/decay, you will need to remove them from your downloads folder or if they're a part of a singular package, remove the tuning resource.

Update: it appears the files I uploaded for the Skilling all had the 1x skill increase. The download is available below. Please remove the previous file for the skilling or update the tuning to your liking.
Prior to uploading those files, I had noticed that I had a BHAV missing for University worlds and replaced all the resources in the package, causing all the BCONs to have 1x skilling. I also updated the file names to Vanilla, 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 10x Slower as opposed to the percentages for consistency.

Scope of the mod: Stops Sims from yelling at you when you cancel the "Prepare" (food) action when they have a food prep tray in their hands or are in the middle of preparing food.
Quirks: if you stop the action before they place the food prep tray on the counter, they'll place the food on the floor.

Random Occurrence Scenario (ROS) 1.01 - The Money Update
Update to 1.02 - Burglaries, Repo People, Walkbys - Available HERE
This is an update to the original ROS Generator located here. You can find out more information about the origin of the ROS and how it can make your game much more fun in the above post. More info about this update and link after the cut!
Scope of this Update
Some organization with the BHAVs have taken place. Money and certain events have their own sub BHAV.
Instead of rolling a dice or using a random number generator, a good portion of the money ROSs will automatically add/deduct money from household funds!
The player will also be notified about how many Simoleons that have been added/deducted from the family funds.
Some money ROSs have been left unchanged (for now) due to the complexity of how it would be coded.
The amount of money a household receives or has deducted is completely random based on the type of event.
Occult Events can be tuned On or Off; Set to on by default.
Conflicts: This will conflict with the first version, so simply replace the original file with this one.
This mod is somehow blocked by @lazyduchess Story Progression (SP), despite having a unique GUID (0x00E1C028) but works fine loading BEFORE SP. Thank you to Marcus (@cityof2morrow) for reporting this while testing! There shouldn’t be any other conflicts. The mod should load BEFORE: 1) story progression, 2) global overrides (visiting/go to work/hospitals/go to school/etc), 3) vehicles/phones/cars cost money, and 4) the religions mod.
The predictable/object versions of this mod will be updated soon.
Hi everyone! It's been a busy in meatspace over the last year and a half. Between work and things outside of work I hadn't been able to play/mod The Sims 2. My hours have changed at work and I find myself having much more time after work to play/mod!
Over the last few weeks I have been tweaking the mods I've shared in the past. As well as new mods/mod addons which I will release soon:
Currently attempting to figure out the issue with Object Freedom with Babies/Toddlers and Pets. The module for humans/pets may need to be removed completely, at least at the time of the next release. If you choose to remove Object Freedom and want everything to go back to "normal" use the batbox (with boolprop testingcheatsenabled false) and force errors on all. The BatBox is located here under yourhighestEP/hacks/ffsdebugger.zip. This would likely need to be done for each lot.
Also for object freedom, it appears "stays after evict" had caused objects to not retain any value which also caused low bills. That feature has been removed and will not be included in the next update. There are other mods that allow objects to stay, like Inge's Stay Things Shrubs or Phaenoh's "For Sale" Sign.
Pescado's "doorjamfix" patch for other objects that get placed in front of doors: ie, Newspapers/Date Gifts/etc. (Object Freedom quirk)
Added effects for Night Owls and Brooding Sims with the Trait Skilling Mod (Simler90 Skill Mod patch)
ROS Generator: Money Update (Households will have money added/deducted in most appropriate scenarios and players will be told how much). The ones that haven't been modded yet will have "roll d6" (or what have you) in the pop up message. It's particularly the "tax" ones that have many variables to call for.
NEW Mods Coming Soon:
No Counter Tantrums
Harvestable Yields for Green Thumbs and Gatherers which is compatible with BoilingOil's realistic yields.
Added support for Lifespan Mods (tunable!) in Skilling (Simler90 patch of the above mod)/Enthusiasm Gain and Decay (patch for Tunaisafish's enthusiasm mods)/Magazine Interests - BCON edits from other lifespan mods no longer needed.
Addons to Sit Down with Your Drink: Snacks/Nectar Glass/Bottle (drink from bottle)/Sink Water
Addons to Actual Alcohol: Nectar Bar/Drink from Bottle
Salon Chairs Spawn Stylists in common areas of Apartment Buildings (working out the kinks with the pie menu) and Hotels; Makeovers will be available.
Masseuse Spawns in Common Areas of Apartments (working out the kinks)
No Large Object Wants for Apartments; No, you cannot have an orchard tree, and no, you don't have enough room for a bubble blower.
That's all for now. I look forward to sharing and catching up with what has been going on in the community!
