This mod adds face blends to the social bunny head mesh, to make some facial expressions possible.

Choose one of two options:

FB_DEFAULT_ExpressiveSocialBunny_Dirty

Only replaces the head. Keeps the original social bunny textures.

The missing left eye has no animations (I know that doesn't follow real life logic but I thought it looked better in this specific case).

Compatibility: It might look alright with some texture defaults. Not compatible with mesh defaults.

FB_DEFAULT_ExpressiveSocialBunny_Clean (Pictured above)

Replaces the head and the social bunny textures. Clean textures (with missing eye restored) are by Phaenoh, I included them because I edited a few pixels around the eyes to make the blinking animation look better.

Both eyes are animated.

Compatibility: Not compatible with texture or mesh defaults.

Credits and thanks

Phaenoh for the clean social bunny default replacements

I have so many edits to share and Idk where to start, so, why not start with the bare minimum a stove?

This is the halo stove from pet stories (I think this is where I got it from?), but with clear glass! Meant to be used alongside @stinkyunicorn's clear glass defaults and slig's clear windows. This is how it originally looked:

That's turquoise!

Other edits I know of are @shastakiss' cottage build + roof-thingies, @dramallamadingdang's manor house table and @tvickiesims holy smoke stairs.

Compressed and no mipmaps as usual!

Part two of the '(well now I've) scene it all' series! tees on a maxis mesh using a texture default by @illenlan as a base (though as they suggest, I'd also recommend Cat of evil genius' mesh replacement). The graphics are borrowed from maxis underwear of all things, and the text says 'I'm no angel' on the one with the wings, and 'I want grilled cheese lol' on the one with the squares I'm assuming are sandwiches based on maxis' track record, but really they just look like weird cartoon squares I'd definitely have worn a t-shirt of back in the day aha.

For AF and TF with standalone and repo'd to AF options, comes in 8 Aelia colours!

Another outfit from me that's inspired by some street snaps from my ever-growing and unwieldy Pinterest board, aha. It's always recommending things to me these days. I'd consider this a continuation of my FRUiTS snap series as it's one I've always intended to continue and expand on ^^

Thought I'd take another crack at my 7th heaven skirts, and shoeswapped them again with a retexture of @platinumaspiration's 4t2 Serenity Tai Platforms ^^ Though this time I've also done an option with the maxis sandals, and my new mesh is much more efficient than my previous shoeswap, can be repo'd to maxis textures, and doesn't have the same mapping issues.

Ages ago I came across Xander's first date shrugs (T$R), and I really liked the shrugs themselves, but not the tops they're over. Then I had the thought to layer it over Nilou's Bella textures and make it a default for AFTopNaked ◝(˶˃ ᵕ ˂˶) ◜♡

I want to preface this by saying that I *love* your retextures and how often times you can save a whole mesh with them imo. Many pieces, especially 4t2 ones, are just not it for me texture-wise (I find them too plasticky looking :( ) and I would never have used them in my game if it wasn’t for you. So from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much for your awesome retextures!🤍

I wanted to end with asking if you perhaps would be interested in working your magic on Lucilla’s 4t2 conversion of the EP18 Crochet top? The mesh is really nice but those ts4 textures are sadly not. So I thought I’d leave it as a suggestion and see if you were interested. (I was gonna tempt you with that the mesh isn’t too short so it would look cute on grannies as well, but then I realized it’s only available for teens and adults, oh well😆)

Okay! And thank you.

But, I'll be more charitable in my view of TS4 textures. After all, I cannot make any retextures of TS4 mesh conversions without the textures that exist in the first place!

When I retexture things like I do, all I am doing is sandwiching new fabric/pattern textures between the existing textures, and then playing with the depth, shadows and contrast. I will edit the 'base' texture sometimes, if needed.

I did convert the EP18 Crochet top to elder though, like you suggested! That was a good suggestion. Thanks for the TS4 conversion @lucilla-sims!

I think that the 24 colors/patterns I have chosen are okay. TBH I struggled with pairing the completed tops with bottoms I felt were appropriate. 🥴

Categorized for Everyday.

Aged for teen, adult and elder!

Polycount: 3k for each once, not bad!

So I've got a bunch of textures/screenshots/art piled up that I don't know what to do with. There's some textures in the sims spin-off files that aren't attached to any models (like loading screens) that I would love to make use of. I finally straightened out my CEP situation and got to work on some fun recolors!

I love the drawings of the Sims 2 console characters. I know art exists for Jessie Rose, but I couldn't find a better quality version of it. I did try cropping her out of the Cork It Over Memory Board, but the quality difference was too obvious. I replaced the text with simlish at the top instead as I liked the labels for them!

There are 3 TV channels in The Urbz: Sims in the City (they flip through images like The Sims 1) and this couple caught my eye! This frame is so gorgeous, and I really liked the idea when I saw @creesims put my Sims 2 console "You Had Me at What's Up" painting on it, you can find my original conversion here. I felt inspired to put this Urbz texture on there too.

The "You Had Me at What's Up" painting is pretty big, so having the smaller option is nice to have, especially after seeing this early screenshot of it on a similar frame as well:

I grew up playing The Sims 2 DS sooo much as a kid. I adore the game so much, the vibe...everything. The concept art is very cute. I thought it would be fitting to divide them up on the little kid drawings! Kayleigh and the Ghost were always favorites of mine

Unlike proper supplies, these are not recloned, but edited objects from original creators. If you have any of those, please scan for duplicates and replace the originals with these (same file names)

These are lazily missing empty states, fancy interactions and descriptions, I mostly just recategorized them and slapped supply attributes, well, also edited one mesh, some textures, wall placement, thumbnails, quarter-tiled a few, etc.

💖 There's one special proper object @teaaddictyt made for us, nice for selling in stores, comes with Brush Teeth interaction:

OK, there are two more ✨ special objects by @platinumaspiration I added empty states and Restocking to:

Also, toothpaste in a box, toilet paper pack, and cleaning caddy can be restocked from (by proper items from proper uploads). Paper towel and tissues go for cleaning and toilet. Nothing for pets

Cat's EF Kasa Pants with PF's Desert Chukkas

This is for elder females only. It's this age conversion of Night Life Kasa Pants by CatOfEvilGenious shoeswapped with the desert chukkas by @pforestsims.

There are 6 colors, three of them are Cat's recolors and three are repo'd to the game files so the Night Life EP is required for those (the filenames are hopefully clear enough). The shoe textures are in a separate file, all the recolors need it to work.

No Rotating Pet Bowls

This mod stops pet food bowls from changing direction nearly every time a pet eats from them or a sim fills/cleans them.

With the fill/clean interactions some rotating still happens during the animations, but the bowl will return to the position it was before getting picked up.

The mod affects all pet bowls, including custom ones (unless they're done in some uncommon way). The rotating isn't as irritating with the in-game bowls but is annoying with custom bowls that have an asymmetric mesh and/or are large enough to clip with walls.

Pets EP is obviously required. I don't know anything this conflicts with but run HCDU to be sure.

Poster Collages on Butterfly Crawler

Never enough of poster collages for me, so I put together some ready-to-use ones and slapped them on the Free Time Butterfly Crawler mesh.

There are 28 variations. These collages use the work of 228 different artists; the archive includes full-sized swatches with artist names and a file with a link to each of them.

Full credit to the artists. None of the art is by me, and I don't make any profit from sharing these. Please see the links to check out other pieces by these people, I'm a big fan of their work!

The files are compressed, Free Time is required. You can find add-ons for the butterfly crawler here and there.

I've tried to ensure no AI images are included. Please support human artists 💜
