Um, so absolutely no one asked for this, but I made this video to share my process of retexturing hair.

I retextured Anto Linda in this tutorial, converted to Sims 2 by entropy-sims.

I'm hoping it will be easy to follow, especially for anyone who has ever retextured hair before.

I'm not really sure what else to say here, but more info and downloads to the hair in my Max(ish) system will be down below!

A new bedroom.

Anon has requested me to shoe-swap Sailor Moon Skirt with Jius Sandals :)

You can find the Sailor Moon boots version on my latest conversion post, here!

This is a new mesh and recolors so these can be used with the other shoes version :)

(yes, PURPLE, because I always saw it as purple and the shader name is literally called the purple error shader. Sue me!!)

Just in case anyone missed it, "pink flashing" in The Sims 2 has finally been busted wide open by a lovely chap named Will Nixon, see here.

I thoroughly recommend reading through the entire dissertation pdf, it's a good read! Even if your eyes glaze over and you skim past the super technical computer engineering jargon, you'll pick up some interesting tidbits from it. Just wanted to share that

1) the patch is fully compatible with Linux and works to improve Linux performance even further, as testing by myself and my dear friend @niamh-sims

2) Some screenshots from testing my medieval hood on Windows 11:

No patch:

With patch:

I also stress-tested the hood by loading into the main Castle lot and having a sim travel between 4-5 different lots with my settings on max. (This is how I play on Linux now so I've gotten used to it, no more turning neighbours and hood deco off for me!!)

Without the patch in, the game crashed and wouldn't load the castle lot for me at ALL, so that was a great start.

Ooft, lol.

With the patch in, I could load into the castle and travel freely around the hood. I noted that that game also generally felt smoother.

This is an absolute breakthrough, people. Linux is no longer absolutely required if you want to play TS2 without pink flashing! Get excited!!

Have you ever wanted a lot from Veronaville in your shopping district? P.U.R.E. nightclub in the country town of Riverblossom Hills? Or just a simple replacement for a lot that might have corrupted in your game?

Then you’ve found the right blog!

This is a database containing all of the unbinned residential and community lots in every non-vacation TS2 neighborhood. Here you can download individual lots as Maxis made them - without cc.

The lots have been run through Clean Installer and do not contain any Sims, or gravestones/urns (for those that had them). Even so, please run any lots you download through CI yourselves just to be safe.

Have fun building your own hood!

(‘Accidentally reported you’ scam)

So it’s just another day on tumblr when a beloved mutual suddenly DMs you (or a random stranger) claiming that someone impersonated you and has scammed them out of (insert money amount here it changes often) be it art or crypto or because of content related to CP. They tell you they’ve accidentally reported you by mistake and that the only way to clear up this issue is to contact someone on discord,Microsoft teams, or a random email account. They even show a screenshot claiming your account was reported for fraudulent activity and action must be taken within 24hrs or else your blog will be terminated. You just need to contact the “official” report dispute discord account in a timely manner and clear everything up or contact the ‘official’ Microsoft teams account!

You panic! You don’t want to lose your blog so you immediately DM the discord account (or the Microsoft Teams account) who begins asking you questions before ultimately asking you to change your email address to theirs so they can ‘fix’ the flag on your account. All is well, and you assume that the false report is going to be cleared up…Right?

Unfortunately no. That’s not what happens.

You get locked out of your account and now the scammer logs in as you and starts to send the same message to anyone and everyone they find. The same message that now you accidentally reported the receiver and you need them to contact the same discord account to repeat the same process over and over again and you yourself seem to have no way of accessing your blog to stop the phishing. But don’t fear! You can fix this! Just contact the real support email and let them know you’ve been hacked and give them any information they may ask to confirm your the real owner of the blog.

Here are things to keep in mind:

- There is no official report dispute discord account ran by tumblr that isn’t a thing and has never been.

- Any discord account claiming to an official tumblr report dispute staff account is a scammer.

- You do not need to ever contact Discord for a tumblr related issue no matter how official the screenshot looks.

- This scam can affect anyone, even your friends. Keep them informed and if you can contact them offsite to let them know they’ve been hacked please do so they can get their account back faster.

- Reports are handled through the official tumblr tech support line and will never be through discord. (Link is to tumblr help center)

Important for ANY website:

Do not ever (!!!) give anyone access to any of your accounts. Legitimate staff of any website will NEVER ask for access. As soon as anyone asks you for your credentials, you leave the conversation immediately and warn others. It doesn't matter what website you are on, this is always always always the only correct course of action.
