Sims 2 and Paralives freezing issues on Linux Mint Cinnamon
I want to ask a question to my fellow Linux players; which kernel and (if you have) NVIDIA driver are you using? Do you have the same issues :/

Wanna delete my downloads folder and start again...
BUT I don't know how to handle mods. And all those days of downloading ughh...
Wall Hanging CEP Extras
From what I could find, I saw some wall hangings I liked had no cep extras for separate recolorable frames so I made them myself. Ones with multiple frame textures have them available as recolors. A couple of them were already made by hafiseazale but I repo'd the frames to the Lady On Red frame. All except A Sim Noir have been lowered to the ground.
New cep extras:
Almost There By Artis Cool
A Sim Noir Print
Corky Reminder Board
Home Sweet Home From Mckraken Industries
Stick 'Em Up Bulletin Board
Teachers Pet Chalkboard
Tropico Birds In the Wild
Under the Horizon By Sam Stewart
Repo'd to the Lady On Red frame, these had similar frames/textures and were pretty straightforward to remap, I used hafi's ceps as a base for these:
Handle and Spout
ValueSpite Funny Bunny
I updated addons for a couple of paintings to fully work with my cep extras:
Hafi's 1 tile A Sim Noir and Almost There (I re-resized the later myself due to issues with the original mesh)
@littlelittlesimmies ' Separated Tropico Birds paintings
All Files are compressed with included preview and hafi's lady on red cep extra for the 2 repo'd frames to work.

Family Manager - Updated
Family Manager V1.2
Added options to show NPC families
Added detection, reporting and merging of split character files.
If your sims sometimes lose their brows or whole face, this may be the thing for you 👍
UPDATE: CINEMA SECRETS LIGHTING MOD
NOTE: This will be the last feature update for Cinema Secrets. I will be focusing more on my newer Cozy Home lighting mod moving forward.
Made lots of improvements to the matching the lot to the surrounding area (best used with @christaskyy's lot skirt shader) and matched the roads as best I could. This also means Cinema Secrets and Cozy Home share the same configuration for the Seasons and the Time of Day states. Only the actual lights differ in both.
KNOWN ISSUE: unfortunately, I can't get the roads for 6pm lighting to match without losing the pink sunset, so this is the best I could get the lighting to match
Added in the Light Direction files available in all lighting mods (both in regular and "world lit by fire" mode). Make sure to update your userStartup.cheat files with the updated lines in userStartup.cheat contained in the zip folder.
Fixed vacation night lighting (accidentally put in the configuration for the morning lighting. Sorry about that!)
Ported a lot of fixes from my newer Cozy Home lighting mod especially with morning and evening lighting.
Added in the light replacement for neighborhood and lot night light replacement in the 4.0 folder. Make sure to put these in your Downloads folder otherwise nights will not look right.
Changed default roomLightingType to 5
Moved the light definitions from Base Game to M&G because the lights don't look right when overlapping on top of the other
DOWNLOAD HERE
IMPORTANT NOTE FOR USERS WITH ROAD DEFAULTS:
> this applies to Cozy Home as well
The changes to the seasons meant that the rug road pieces that come with road defaults will stop matching. This would mean road default creators will need to adjust the road texture for the rug pieces to color match with the adjusted lighting.
This shouldn’t be an issue for those on Maxis roads or road replacements that replace the floor tiles used to build the roads instead of overlaying a rug piece.
UPDATE: Please redownload, uninstall, then reinstall. I made another update because the zip file is...very very broken.
Like I can't even name how many things are broken broken
UPDATE 2: Please redownload, uninstall, then reinstall again. I fixed a few more issues, restored some of the indoor lighting configuration pre-June update
IMPORTANT NOTE: Lighting.txt is a stub reference to Lighting_CS.txt. DO NOT DELETE ANY OF THE FILES IN THE M&G LIGHTS FOLDER

GOS backups
https://simfileshare.net/folders/189789/
HERE are all the backups I have from GOS. Quite a few, but not all, monthly themes are archived. Wayback machine is no help.
Hopefully the site gets back up and running soon.
Spaik's Brick Patio Super Set Repo'd to BB's Niche
Anon request. This set was very similar to BB's Niche, the main texture was even identical, but BB's has way more recolors and add-ons (probably because it was free and T$R stuff used to be paywalled). I ran the set through the Repo Wizard and they now pull textures from BB's Niche. They all work with the quarter tile cheat and are found in the columns categories. Guids and filenames are the same

My dumb ass updated Lutris now Sims 2 wouldn't work.
I accidentally reset the executable directory, now it's giving "Directory doesn't exist" error on Lutris...
I want to use discord to see how other people are having different issues, but IT IS BANNED IN MY GOD DAMN COUNTRY, cannot use it even with VPN the VPN I USE IS ALSO BANNED.
Did you know you can select a sim by clicking on them with right click?

(with Testing cheats on) If you click CTRL + left mouse to another clothing in CAS, its texture map sticks to your sim! TIL. I have a video too but to lazy to upload lol.
EDIT:
She showered, got into hot tub and exited the game :) STILL THERE.
EDIT2: It's not being replicated. Joy cancelled :(

Massive thank you to @angelapleasant for getting this whole event together (you've done a fantastic job!) and to all the other creators who have both been and whose days are yet to come :D
preview pictures explaining as to which slider does what under the cut
Now that I'm trying to record the "freezing", the game just crashes instead :)
I am gonna cry. The freezing is replaced with crashing...I can't play 10 minutes without fcking crashing :( I am on Linux, but the freezing occurred back in Windows...
hi ! very small upload here, i'm a huge fan of these window star lights from nixnivis but most of the colours are a bit too bright for my tastes so i made this simple warm white/light yellow recolour :) i included the meshes with my download but i would recommend downloading the original version too if you don't have it so you can have the other colours!
download here (sfs) or here (mediafire)
ROS Generator 1.02 - Repo People, Burglars, and Walkbys OH MY!
Burglars and repo people are taking over in this update! More info after the cut!
EDIT: Small update below: ROSs should stop popping up right upon loading a lot.

No Counter Tantrums
Scope of the mod: Stops Sims from yelling at you when you cancel the "Prepare" (food) action when they have a food prep tray in their hands or are in the middle of preparing food.
Quirks: if you stop the action before they place the food prep tray on the counter, they'll place the food on the floor.
Conflicts: None that I'm aware of.

Has anyone else has a freezing issue on Linux with Sims 2?
It just got worse. It is freezing my whole system now, forcing me to reset the computer. I tried to google but there aren't many posts about specifically Sims games...I had the issue with both wine and proton. The freezing was present on Windows too but I could ALT+DEL and kill the task :/ I am a baby Linux user, and I have Linux Mint Cinnamon 22.
EDIT: Happened also with a brand new documents folder...I am going to remove RPC .asi mods next. I forgot about them.
EDIT2: Removed RPC mods too from the PF folder, still happening :(
EDIT3: Removed my lighting mod Cinema Secrets by restoring the game files, nope hit again. I hate everything.
