This was a one part project that morphed into a two part project.
First, I converted the shorts and used the sneakers which @skittlessims had converted, plus I added socks and pulled in some extra EA swatches for them.
Originally when I made these, I figured they would match the set of tops from the same kit that @applewatersugar had already converted. But when I looked at them side by side, even though both had 12 swatches each, the matches were… not right. Some were nowhere close, and some were almost matching but the exact hues and saturations differed enough between top and bottom to… bother me. Very typical EA bullshit…
So, I tweaked the textures for all the tops so that each one has a much more perfect match to the shorts and you can pair them all. They’re separates so you can mix and match if you like, or matching sets like shown in the screenshot.
Piper’s mesh for the tops is included with thanks, and you can have my recolours and his as well, although for some it could be a bit redundant since a lot of my tops are just slight edits of the EA versions. The numbers of my recolours match for tops and shorts (ie: top 1 matches shorts 1).
TF-AF, all morphs included, and you can repo TF to AF files if you like. Hope you enjoy! :)

Here's a little snack while we wait for my other conversion's original files to leave early access! 🍉
I converted this cute set because I wanted to try my hand at running a shop with Open For Business. I did my best to price the items with gameplay in mind… feel free to give me feedback on that! It works just as well as beach clutter too, so use them however you like! 🏖️
You can find the original Sims 4 set here, by ATS4. A collection file is included in the download for convenience. It’s also low poly and basegame compatible (I think the shelves need OFB, but would work basegame if you change the category).
Full object list and extra previews are waiting under the cut ↓
🐚 Couple of things
The Oxygen Tank S3 (plain one) is repo'd to the S4 and the Floor Life Jacket is repo'd to the Wall Life Jacket!
I cloned @lordcrumps' Aqua-Zip conversion from TS4 Island Living (found here), and to have it floating on water I recommend the same OMSP by @pforestsims that he mentions in his release.
The display stand should be treated like a shelf, and will fit both the Surfboard and the Water Skis correctly
You do need a copy of LordCrump’s Shadow Files for the shadows to work though, but I have included a copy in the zip, as always 🐸🤿

Good news everyone! I learned how to do elder clothing conversions today (for full body anyways, this is the quickie method from what I gathered) and it was absurdly easy.
I immediately knew a few outfits I wanted my elders to have access to. I am fairly sure these ones aren’t already converted to elder elsewhere but, you never know, someone may have beaten me to it. :) Not that I have found so far though.
One thing to note - the way this conversion is done, it keeps the adult body shape, so you will not see the typical elder body changes (less muscle tone, saggy boobs, wider hips) but you will see the slouched posture as that’s a feature of the animations. You might feel good, bad or indifferent about that but thought it was worth noting.
All items have all the recolours that were made by the creators in their original posts. All credits for meshes and textures goes to the original creators and/or EAxis for the conversions from other games.

this jacket is so cute...T_T I wanted some additional patterns to suit my game and my girls ^^ thank you so much for the meshes, Janika! I hope you are well ^^
download (TF-AF) repo to AF files
I would usually complain about exposed midriff but I have plenty of high-waisted jeans that make up for it, I just didn't use them here hahaha.
Hey babies! Here’s a small release of child hair conversions from @kiegross & @itsbrandysims recent releases. Thank you for allowing me to use your amazing work as always! All adult versions of these hairs can be found on the on the patreon accounts below (not needed for hairs to work in game). Enjoy everyone and stay tuned for my next set! Coming soon! 💕
Special thank you to @lunvrsims again as well!-Bria<3
I know it’s not 2006 anymore, but I was playing around with Bodyshop mockups a long while back and thought these two outfits made a cute pair!

This one took forever! It’s a mashup of emBlazer and amRockstar, with the shoe UVs altered to match everyone’s favourite sneakers. :)
TF Corset Dress with Sneakers | Download
This is Cloudlessnights’ tie-less version of tfGoth merged with tfElite and tfNantesdrshightops.
Both outfits have thin and fat morphs, and have been compressorised.
Remember my 4T2 kitchen sets, that some sets didn't have islands? I said I will do them "soon" and nearly a year later there is still no update (minus a few new sets / island addons with new packs etc)... yeah that set!
Well now I have done it! Every set now has its islands! Finally! Recolours are arranged in the same order as their counter counterparts!
Things to note;
I did update some existing cabinets and counters,
redid some meshes on some items,
rearranged texture orders on some others,
adjusted other bits,
photos on the download page,
Sims 4 Shadow file needed, only need one in your game!
So I recommend throwing out my old counters and popping these ones instead!

Fun fact: lingering pink soup might be caused by borked files inside shader cache. This post contains instructions on how to clean caches on windows 10 (or 11)
Playing TS2 on Nvidia GPU:
How to clear shader cache
Symptoms: The pink comes back even after PC restart - but each time you run a game it's a bit less intense.
⚠️If you get pink flashing after 1+ hour of gameplay, that's likely memory related, and clearing shader caches won't help. What will definitely help though, is this new patch/mod TS2MemCapRemover (requires TS2 RPC or asi loader).
Invalid shader cache file - possible causes
Pine's post-processing mod called Custom Post Effects, or an edit by DreadPirate (if it's present in Downloads it may cause pink soup, without enabling the features)
Conflicting shader mods
Broken mods
Game crashed when shaders were being compiled
GPU driver-related issues
Nvidia's official guidelines admit that shader caches can become corrupted (it's not mentioned on that page ofc, but entire 576.xx - 590.xx driver branches are notorious for doing that to 32-bit games and it still hasn't been fixed). In their words, corrupted shader caches may cause crashing or visual glitches. They recommend to clear Nvidia GL and DX shader cache folders if such issues occur.
(It's not relevant for TS2 but I might as well mention that in modern games, a major game update or driver update can make older cache files obsolete and cause some issues until files get refreshed.)
⚠️Shader-specific issues usually summon pink soup faster than 'usual' memory issues, often as soon after you open the game. If you have a shader conflict going on, clearing cache won't do much until you remove culprit mods.
Let's say you removed the problematic mod, and the pink still lingers. You could wait it out. Well, you don't just "wait", you need to actually play for a while, let the driver identify invalid files and re-compile them. But it can be frustrating if you have a small window of time you'd like to spend taking screenshots. You can speed things up, and clear caches manually.
You start by clearing .cache files in /Documents/ The Sims 2 folder, of course.
[ *if you use DXVK: clear dxvk shader cache in your TS2 game exe folder]
Clearing DX / GL shader caches:
Don't do this when the game is running.
Don't do this if you don't experience lingering pink - this is not a cure for random pink flashing
⚠️If you play many games, naturally this will affect them - games take longer to load when shaders are being compiled!
1. First, open NVIDIA Control Panel /Manage 3D Settings, take note of the current Shader Cache Size settings, then set the size to Disabled and restart your system*
*This is a 'proper' way, but sometimes I skip this step if I really don't want to restart PC.
2. Press Windows Key + R to open the Run box.
Type:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\NVIDIA\
..and press Enter.
3. Clean DX cache folders:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\NVIDIA\DXCache
%LOCALAPPDATA%low\NVIDIA\PerDriverVersion\DXCache
4. Clean OpenGL shader cache folder:
%LOCALAPPDATA%\NVIDIA\GLCache
Of course you could try to only clean DX cache (or GL cache, if you play with DXVK), that might work.
*You may wonder, why clean GL /or DX shader cache if TS2 game runs on DX / or Vulcan? Apparently, there could be some "spillovers" in all cache folders. And I did notice files being generated in DX cache folder when I run TS2 via DXVK.
5. Re-enable Shader Cache Size in NVIDIA Control Panel, if you disabled it. Set it to driver default, or whatever you set before (if you play 'AAA games', 10GB is the recommended GPU cache size. By default it's 4GB for most modern GPUs). Restart the system.
Tip: prevent automatic clean-up of shader caches. If you use automatic disc cleaning, exclude DX Cache folder.
6. Optional:
Windows DX shader cache might contain "corrupted" files. You can use windows "Disc Cleanup" feature, it includes windows DX cache folder.
Or you can do it manually, these should be at
%LOCALAPPDATA%\D3DSCache
Windows might also use secondary shader caches. On my system these are always empty though (AppData = a hidden folder):
Cloned from Functional Studio Microphone by @episims - contains the same singing animations customised by Epi (they used hand overlays by DeeDee and Sparklesim). Requires Apartment Life EP.
Recolors made with TXMT-recolouring technique, make use of envcube mask feature of @crispsandkerosene 's Extended Standard Material Shader, but it's not required ofc.
Another batch of recolors for "Sims Must Wash Hands" (NightLife EP), and a few for "Award For Excellence" (FreeTime EP)
📦Wall signs part 2
Download: SFS | BOX
I used Simlish fonts: Lengiza, Behemot, Noodle Caboodle
*This is for The Sims 2
Format is mostly DXT1 so these will look glitchy in SimPe.
For the frame above, I've included 'blank' textures without captions as creator resources.
Three recolors /signs/ use glow effect, but it only works if you have Extended Standard Material Shader Edit by @crispsandkerosene. I've also included alternative non-glowing options.
Recolors feature marble name plagues /lobby signs, toilet sign, safety signs (biohazard, bad dog, security camera warning).
Most texture resources in this batch have /more or less /sharpened mipmaps. I usually don't build mipmaps anymore, unless it's for small objects - it makes texture details more legible from the distance, especially with Reshade DXVK. In the pics, I had Reshade & DXVK on, you may even tell a slight difference between non-mipmapped texture vs. regular mipmaps built without filters (it's not such case without Reshade DXVK).
If you use SimPe DDS bulider to make mip-mapped textures, remember to switch off the unfortunate, blurry smoothen filter! For crisper mipmap details use sharpen: "sharpen soft"- it's the least harsh of the bunch. If you need more subtle/clean sharpen effect, GIMP's Kaiser filter will do a better job.
I do not recommend using sharpened mipmaps for larger objects with crisp patterns, it makes those too 'flickery'.
SimPe's Nvidia DDS builder also offers mipmap filters, but I find these are kinda useless. Kaiser doesn't sharpen texture, mipmaps are cleaner but the effect is very subtle.
