Machine Alien Spawn 👽

Hello, The Sims lovers! Recently, you probably caught @morepopcorn update about the FAME PACK mod, which is going to bring back some cool features from the Sims Superstar EP (and not only!) 🤩

I can't express how excited I am to bring brand-new animations to these iconic objects and finally see them in action inside the game. I wanted to share a sneak peek of the WIP process with you! These clips come from the Recording Studio and showcase both the successful and failed versions of doing jingles and handling rejection.

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

After much hair-pulling, I finally feel satisfied enough to release my mod to restore those glorious shiny floors from The Sims 2 beta! (Forever in our hearts...)

You can download it here :)

Prerelease (2003):

Doesn't the beta lighting look so nice? :(

Mod (not 2003):

Why yes, I did painstakingly try to recreate the room from the prerelease image and make elder versions of the Sims - it was absolutely a productive use of my time.

I've made sure to make a number of vanilla TS2 floors reflective out of the box. These are mostly marble floors, but there's a few stone/tile/wood floors in there too. If you want to add reflections to custom floors (or other vanilla floors not included by default), I've left some basic instructions on the GitHub page on how to do this :)

Because this is a cut beta feature, there are a few minor issues with it - I have detailed these in the README. Please take the time to read through them!

I also had to include an edit to the mirror reflection shader to fix a bug where mirrors visible in the floor reflections would be flashing red (Castaway Stories has the same issue with mirrors reflected in the ocean, funnily enough). I'm not aware of any other mods that touch the mirror shaders, but if there are, let me know and I'll whip up a compatibility patch.

Oh, and in case you missed it, I released a small update to the reflective water mod, as per the request of @lordcrumps. I didn't realise houses didn't reflect in the hood water, but now they do!

Enjoy!

This custom content pack will provide updated versions of every Maxis dog & cat breed in the sims 2, ranging from small tweaks to significant model changes and new coat colors (coats and breeds unlocked through gameplay are not included or required). This will diversify the gene pool for pets and provide the variety and genetics mixing that the community has desperately wanted for years. I plan to release this in 3 parts, starting with the large breed dogs. The goal is to have part 1 posted within the next couple months.

In the meantime, here's a sneak peek at the new Great Dane model and some genetics testing I did.

I gave the Dane model a much larger/wider head and slimmed the rest of its body a bit to make it look closer to real-life Great Dane proportions.

For genetics testing, I used the above fawn coat (a Maxis Dane coat I altered to give it more depth) and a completely custom "merlequin" coat variant. I used this mod by KittenInTheWindow to show all coat markings on the puppies.

Mother

They had a litter of 3, 2 of which had a nice mix of layers from both parents (and the other is just a merlequin with tan feet I guess haha).

These are the pups as adults:

I then tested to see how the merlequin coat would mix with Webster's (a premade Kerry Blue Terrier). At first the puppy seemed like he would be almost a copy of Webster, but turned out to have nicely mixed genes when he grew up.

I'm so excited to get this project finished and I hope I can make something the sims community will love! Feedback is always appreciated and encouraged!

This bi-monthly theme at GoS gave me some inspiraton, so here's a mod to celebrate GoS returning. :)

This mod gives university students a chance of bringing college project instead of standard written homework, using TS4 Discover University meshes and textures.

Project will look differently for each major. Undeclared Sims and custom majors get randomly one of 11 projects.

Chance of bringing a college project is by default 20%.

College projects take longer to finish, but are more rewarding, letting your Sims gain some skills and hobby enthusiasm. There's 50/50 chance of gaining either logic skill or charisma skill, because those are the skills that made sense to me in the college project context.

As for enthusiasm:

Art project makes your Sims gain Art and Craft enthusiasm,

Biology project makes your Sims gain Nature enthusiasm,

Drama, History, Philosophy and Literature projects make your Sims gain Film and Literature enthusiasm,

Economics, Maths/IT, Physics and Psychology projects make your Sims gain Science enthusiasm,

Political Science project makes your Sims gain Games enthusiasm.

I know some of subjects might not be the best match for certain hobbies, but I didn't want to turn everything into Science and there's history of everything, so this major could fit into many hobbies, like art, music etc.

Sims have a chance of making college project of one of three qualities: low, mid and high. The outcome depends on Sim's grade and getting help with the project (but it only counts if it happens during quality check).

If you use Smonaff's Fall Asleep While Doing Homework, Sims who have fallen asleep while working on their project can't make projects of high quality.

Additionally, Sims with Ambitious, Genius or Perfectionist trait get bonus making it easier for them to get better quality project, while Absent-Minded and Clumsy Sims will get penalty. Sims with Can't Stand Art trait will get penalty if they are working on an Art project. Bonuses do not stack. Penalties also don't. So if your Sim is genius and perfectionist, they will get only one bonus. Bonus and penalty can cancel each other out.

This mod conflicts with some mods:

if you are using simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (Full Version - it doesn't conflict with Placement Version), choose plug-in "zz_Meduza_UniversityProject_AssignmentFull" and make it load after both my mod and simler90's mod,

if you are using smonaff's Fall Asleep While Doing Homework, choose plug-in called "zz_Meduza_Smonaff_UniversityProjectFallAsleep" and make it load after both my mod and smonaff's mod,

if you are using @episims' Pencils by Color Traits, choose plug-in called "zz_Meduza_UniversityProject_ColorPencil" - Epi's mod doesn't conflict with mine, but you need this plug-in to get colorful pencils,

if you are using Dave_Luv's Faster Homework, choose plug-in called "zz_Meduza_UniversityProject_FasterHomework" and make it load after both my mod and Dave_Luv's mod,

if you are using MogHughson's University Mod for use with the Desk Locator, choose plug-in called "zz_Meduza_UniversityProject_UniDeskLocator" and make it load after both my mod and MogHughson's mod.

DO NOT use my plug-in for simler90's Homework Assignment Mod (Full version) and my plug-in for Dave_Luv's Faster Homework - these mods are incompatible.

There's an issue when a project board is facing wall - the project won't turn around and your Sim will be doing their project even though they are facing the board's back. Right now I don't have a good solution for that. The best I can offer you is that you can cancel the action and turn the board around in the Buy mode. :/

Update 20th June 2026: yeah, the same day I published the mod 😅 added compatibility plug-in for MogHughson's University Mod for use with the Desk Locator and added trait support that I had forgotten about

I've made some more

My newest mod on Mod the Sims spawns roaches from dirty dishes.

Five percent chance on normal lots, eight percent chance on apartment lots.

Happy Simming!

Fuck it

Made this for myself, but figured someone would want to use it as well. This edit is for the Regular Version, though I have no issues on making an edit for the Pay Version too. Added Pay Version.

With this edit, children can now throw parties (BHAVs "borrowed" from @belladovah's mod) in general and those parties can be hosted in community lots (thanks to Midge's tutorial here) as well. As for children, besides Maxis parties, Pool Parties (I think they were enabled for all ages actually) and Slumber Parties have also been made available for them.

Of course, my edit will conflict with Simler's original mod AND BellaDovah's children can throw parties - remove their packages and replace them with mine.

Some TS2 lamp stuff 💡

• Light Waves Ceiling Lamp [TSS]

CEP-Extra, light fix & recolors

Download: SFS | BOX

This makes metal mount recolourable.

• Mr. Lampy Fourlegs Table Lamp [NL]

Lightpattern Fix & TXMT edit

Download: SFS | BOX

Old recolors will not work for this (anyone seen any?). Please note the fix goes into CEP-Extra folder in Documents. The simplest way to fix this lamp would be to delete lightpattern subset from GMDC but I took a different route, removed lamp interior subset so the other one could work. That's why it looks less bright inside.

• Orbs Of Connectedness Ceiling Lamp [UNI]

Light fix & texture replacement (optional)

Also includes a fix for the Circle Of Light Friendship aka Groovy Floor Lamp.

Enjoy!
