Had a debate with another friend who plays Sims about this:
Do you prefer Sims CC that is default replacement?
Yes!
No, I prefer CC that adds to and does not replace Maxis defaults.
Remaining time: 13 hours 36 minutes
I am staunchly in the camp of wanting CC that does NOT replace Maxis defaults. I like having the option to have both (one example comes to mind is Sims 2 CAS stuff like eyes and hair).
But I have a friend who likes when CC replaces defaults. I feel like I see a lot of CC these days that are only offered as default replacements and that kinds bums me out.
So I was curious to know if it's actually more popular with Sims fans to have default replacements! Maybe I'm an outlier here!
Keep in mind that the Sims Mod Manager that's floating around is made with Claude AI. Do with that info what you will. I certainly wouldn't use it to mess with my game files, and I'm definitely not going to be publishing anything on their creator platform.
Make hair and clothing default replacements without wrestling SimPE.
I've always loved making default replacements, but the actual work in SimPE was... well... annoying. So I went looking for a better way to do it, and when I couldn't find one that clicked, I started building my own. 🛠️
This is very much a personal project. I'm sharing it because this community is far smarter than I am when it comes to custom content and default replacements, and I'd rather build this out in the open with your help than pretend I've got it all figured out. So please, let me know about any and all issues you run into.

Why I made this
Every time I sat down to make a default replacement, the SimPE workflow felt like more friction than the actual creative part. I wanted something that got out of the way and just let me swap the thing I wanted to swap. This tool is my attempt at that, built for myself first, shared because I figured I'm probably not the only one who feels this way.
⚠️ Read this first: it's alpha
I can't emphasize this enough: this is both a personal project and an alpha program. Please expect things to not work.
I'd happily use this for personal projects, but I'd hold off on creating default replacements you intend to share with the community. Not because the files it produces are bad, but because they may not be optimized or follow every best-practice yet. That said, each update gets better and better.
So: if you want to help improve the tool, share feedback, report bugs, and you don't mind that it's not perfect, this is absolutely for you. 💜 If you want this to be as flawless as your manual SimPE method and you can't stand the thought of hitting a single issue... it's probably best to wait, or just use SimPE for now.
What it does (and doesn't, yet)
Right now it handles hair and clothing. Most of my time and testing has gone into hair, so that's the solid part. Clothing is very much a work in progress. Expect the rough edges to be rougher on the clothing side.
How to download and use it
I try not to gate-keep anything behind a Discord (I personally hate joining a whole server for one single thing). But because this is alpha, I'm constantly pushing out new versions, and the Discord is genuinely the best way to make sure you're on the latest one no matter when you're reading this post.
It's also just easier for everyone: Tumblr is rude as hell and already shadow-banned me once for sending links in DMs, so having a place to chat and report problems directly makes life better for all of us.

A note on what I'm actually asking for
I am not a professional software engineer. I'm a Sims lover who also likes learning new things, that's it. Your help genuinely means everything here. For those of you who are far smarter than I am with default replacements, please send any and all info my way: what works, what breaks, what a "proper" file should look like. I really want to make this a solid, easy tool for default replacements, and that starts with all of us.
So don't be shy. Bugs, suggestions, corrections, best-practices I've completely missed, send them over. 💜

Had what was probably a mild migraine earlier today, so I stayed home from work. Got a bit more progress on the Simblreen WIP, but I'm back in bed again. Mild migraines still have postdromes.
Working on CC has me wanting to post a new download, so I might convert this sofa set I was eyeing. Surely what seems like a quick, easy project won't turn into some kind of monstrous sidetracking rabbithole. That neeeeeever happens to me. Ever.

The Tattooer thing I'm doing is kinda working. Yay! I'm probably still gonna do the top part the regular old way, and I'll probably poke at it for a while still, but I'm pleased with my tiny bits of progress.
13 weeks until Halloween, so probably more like 12 until Simblreen. Eeep. But I have officially begun preparing.

Sure, I haven't really done any real amount of CC work in a couple of months, I've been tired all day, and it's 1:30am. Perfect time to learn something new, right? Right?
It's...going. I'm probably gonna save and keep working on it later. It involves this tutorial by DeeDee. I somehow wound up wanting to convert a dress that has a sheer section.
Now I've gone to bed, but I think I'm gonna maybe only use the Tattooer for the waist of the dress. Hmm. Reblogging mostly to remind myself of this idea.

Oh!! I just had an idea. Or I smashed two ideas together.
If I can learn to make tattoo boxes, I could do one of "base layers" like TS4 recently added. For Simblreen, this could be stuff like fishnet leggings, mesh sleeves, etc. Hmm.
