Mesh and texture default replacements for tf-afbottomflairedpantssandals and afbodyovershirtpantssandals (mesh edits requested by @intincrmars). The mesh defaults are compatible with any existing recolors. The AF meshes get added preg morphs.
Downloads and details under the cut.
The knee situation on those meshes has been addressed by CatOfEvilGenius and Pforest before but my knees didn't end up quite as wide as theirs. Beside that, I was interested in changing the normals on those sandals and well, the difference looks more stark in Milkshape than in game but still:

AF mesh edit ↓
TF mesh edit ↓
I pulled the waist band (hip band?) higher to match the AF mesh and improve compatibility with Maxis tops. Polycount is even lower than originally as a result.
Texture default ↓
Softer knee shadows and highlights.

The 3 files (AF mesh default, TF mesh default & UF texture default) can be used independantly from each other.

Mesh default and texture default can be used independantly, just don't forget to choose either V1 or V2 for the texture.

18 Graying recolors of Maxis hairstyles, perfect for your late adult-stage sims! Now your sims will show age and not be young forever! Most of these have graying hair on the temples as I am planning on making graying facial hair too, as soon as I figure out how to extract multiple facial hair colors on bodyshop. So please if anyone knows or finds a tutorial, please let me know.
All hair colors have been properly binned and combined in one package for your convenience and storage purposes :)

♦ Graying Hair for Female Sims & Facial Hair by IntincrMars (Me)
♦ Various graying recolors by DeeDee-Sims: umSemibald & umPeak, umShortCombed, ufMessy & ufLowBun
♦ Graying ufShortTuckIn recolor by FreezerBunny-Sims2
♦ Embracing Age Facial Hair Recolor by twiggy
♦ Subtle Wrinkles by simNopke
These are now decustomized and have a custom order in CAS, they now show up last after all normal hairs! This was also done with my graying facial hair pack (Female hair coming soon!)
@deedee-sims's graying amPeak and amSemibald are also now included, thanks and all credits to them!
So this is officially my first mod upload ever! It's wild that for all the time I've actually played and modded TS2 I've never really created my own content until now.
Anyways!
As much as I love the maxis skins, I always felt like S1 was a little too tan for certain sims I wanted to make, so I went ahead and lightened it just a tad.
This skin is fully towniefied and geneticized, so these will appear on randomly generated townies and NPCs and will apply to baby births so long as one of the parents is S0.5.
This skin also incorporates the Adult Male Ear Fix by IntincrMars!
Big thanks to @intincrmars for all the help and assistance in getting my head around the modding tools and a huge thanks to @handonthemouse for their Skin Adjuster Program for making batch-editing skin textures a breeze!
Let me know what you all think and let me know if there's any issues!
For whatever reason, Maxis decided it was a good choice to tag Seasons cold outfits both for outerwear and everyday and the Base Game sweats outfit for everyday only! Now all of these outfits are well categorized and show up properly in their respective categories. Also unlocked hidden black recolors for the base game gymwear.
> I'd recommend placing the packages on your bins folder, located at EP9\TSData\Res\Catalog\Bins, otherwise the outfits will show up as CC. <

Outerwear.package - Moves all cold outfits to the outerwear category, they no longer show up in everyday.
Athletic.package - Adds all athletic outfits to the athletic category, they will show up both in everyday and gym.

Edited a few base game hairs so they're a bit similar to the rest of maxis hairs, they fit better with darker skintones too. I've probably edited some of these hairs previously, but I feel like they're better now; they're not the same as before.

I recommend using rudhira's hair age conversions as they're compatible with texture replacements and fit perfectly with the default game (they're the best conversions I've seen tbh), get them here!
Hey there, I wanted to let you know I LOVE your building style! Do you have any building tips or cheats you use? I'd really like to know your process, either planning, floor distribution, etc. I really like the realistic vibes of your builds.
Firstly thank you so much my love!!! this is so nice to hear and I appreciate it so much <33
The main cheat i use is "setquartertileplacement on" I always use it for lights, 3 seater couches so I can allign them with the tv, and decorations. I try not to abuse it though. My other two are "move objects" and occasionally for outside garden I use "snapobjectstogrid false" but that one I moved away from and haven't used in awhile. I know people use the degree cheat but I avoid it as I try to make it vanilla as possible and for everything to be usable and have no routing issues (gameplay friendly and all that)
I think the most important thing with building at least for me was to realise that not everything has to match and to find beauty in the "ugly" things. When I was younger I used to make everything black and white and modern as possible but sims 2 is an early 2000s game so alligning with it's time did the trick for me.
Before I started renovating Pleasantview I did go on pinterest and just google images to find what aesthetic I'm going for. I had an idea but I actually went to visualise before I started. I created essentially a mood board with real life houses and cities and even tv shows and games (like life is strange, tvd, teen wolf, stranger things...) for each wealth class. So when I started building I knew exactly what I'm doing. I'm not a great builder by any means though! But don't copy everything 1-1 because with sims it'll never be possible. Take inspiration from it and then just play around with what looks good - this is where I also realised that sometimes simplicity actually makes things look way better and "realistic". So i keep it simple.
Another thing is don't be scared to fail and try again. I've built lots and completely scrapped them in the end when I thought of a better idea. With the poor street where Brandi lives I ended up going back and changing the inside of all those houses completely. So my advice is don't be scared to do that even if it feels like a waste of time.
I'm at work right now so I'll end it here but if there is anything more you'd like to ask or me to be more specific about feel free to ask and i will try my best to answer!
Just an archive of an old version of the MM lighting mod by @veronavillequiltingbee, so all credits to them for the original mod. Also thanks to Marticore because she had a backup copy of the old version, I just renamed the folders so it's an easy drag and drop for those with the ultimate collection. Here's a quick comparison between maxis, new mm, and old mm (Left to right)
Please go follow the instructions on the original post as I did not include any, it's the same installation method.
Quickfix 10/19/25 - Fixed some folders in the Open For Business, so check if your lights folder is in the proper location! If not, redownload and reinstall ^^
hi intincrmars! in your reupload of the old mm lighting mod from dreadpirate, the 3 folders inside the best of business folder do not have the proper folder structure, in the files they are like this "Best of Business/***/Lights" when it should be like this: Best of Business/***/TSData/Res/Lights" i just wanted to point that out so it could get fixed since its not overwritting any files that way! anyway, i love ur cc so much, specially when it comes to ts2, but even on ts4 its a must, tysm!
Thank you so much for letting me know! It has now been fixed. Also I'm glad you like my content, thanks a lot for kind words! I really appreciate it ❤️

Hi! I wanted to tell you that I love your cc and they are always a 'must' in my game since I like to play vanilla ✨
I also wanted to ask you about your extended skinblend, I recently reinstalled my game and lost some data including your extended skin :( I wanted to know if you would consider re-uploading it again at some point? since I looked for it on your blog and it is no longer there, thanks!
Hey there! Thank you very much for your kind words ❤️ They made my day.
I don't recall taking down any posts, and I also have made a bunch of skin defaults I'm having trouble trying to figure out which skin you're talking about 😅
But I'm guessing probably Maxis Face Tweaks with Supernatural and Dark-Tan skintone. There's also my Adult Male Ear Fix which also includes a custom dark tan skintone and more recently I made a Improved Maxis Vampire Overlay that goes along perfectly with the ear fix and are the ones I'm currently using. ^^
I must warn you though that in the Legacy Collection the custom skintone menu isn't working properly and doesn't open at all, AFAIK. Just bought the legacy collection bundle but haven't played much lately, so I can't really tell if they fixed it or not.
Nach und nach werde ich alle Familien und Grundstücke sowohl als .package und .Sims3Pack hochladen, das wird aber wirklich noch ein bisschen dauern. Wenn ich das geschafft habe, gibt es dann auch einzelne Posts zu den Familien und Grundstücken. Alles kann wie gehabt über folgende Links zu downloaden sein:
Wichtig: Die ServiceNPCs und Townies habe ich NICHT selber erstellt, sondern entweder aus dem Exchange oder von ModTheSims bezogen. Jeweils in den Biografien sind die Ersteller und Links gelistet.
Bisher habe ich auch nur die Gemeinschaftsgrundstücke getestet, da sollte alles funktionieren. Falls generell irgendwo Fehler oder Probleme auftreten, gerne melden ❤️
Viel Spaß mit der Welt!

Hey ✌️
I managed to populate my world Paradise Archipelago – faster than expected!
I will gradually upload all families and lots as both .package and .Sims3Pack files, but this will take some time. Once that's done, I’ll also make individual posts about the families and lots. Everything can still be downloaded via the following links:
Important: I did NOT create the ServiceNPCs and Townies myself. They were either sourced from The Exchange or ModTheSims. The creators and links are listed in their biographies.
So far, I’ve only tested the community lots and everything should be working fine. If you come across any errors or issues, feel free to let me know! ❤️
