Freem's Simming

This one had actually been done before, and is available from Default Database:

cmbodyhobbylogotee replaced with Migamoo's Echelon outfit.

Problem with the existing default is that it's done the old way, making the original outfits unusable for, say, texture referencing. The new outfit is basically the same as old one, minus the long sleeve and with vans instead of sandals. I even made sure to match the logos when replacing the outfits, instead of just going randomly! Shoe sound has been edited and the outfit is enabled for workout (if I can imagine a boy playing basketball or football soccer in the outfit, it goes into workout category).

So, while rebuilding my CC folder, the question of what I want for default replacements naturally came up. And while there are clothes that I absolutely do want replaced, there are also things... that I kinda like, but I just find annoying in some small way. Such as EA making clothes for simchildren of one gender and then cloning them for the other instead of just marking them as unisex. In some cases, I kinda like the mesh, but I'm annoyed by the cloned option thing. Solution? Find recolors I like and make replacement myself!

cubodynightiepaws! Recolors are by Simskaefer on MTS. I think girl copies remained original, while boy colors got replaced, but all were made available for both genders.

cmbodysnowboarder! Replaced by sleepless_angel's recolors on MTS. I replaced the boy colors here, and these three are made available for both genders. Girl colors have not been touched in any way, but I can provide a file for making them unisex, too, if anyone needs it.

What game feels like "home" to you no matter when you come back to it?

Feed your dashboard by answering my question, blogger.

Easy to answer, just looking at this blog: Sims 2.

Chester Gieke was kind-of fun to play? He wants to get a cat, but hasn't managed to gather the funds. He managed to get fired. He decided to write SciFi novel.

In Burb family, Jennifer took the lead role, immediately finding a job (not her dream one, but it pays) and reaching Lucy how to study. John was amazing as the man of the house, keeping it clean and the fridge full of cooked meals.

There was also the part where Jennifer got pregnant. Around the time she bought the handheld game for Lucy, John decided he should get a job in culinary career.

I forgot to take picture of the baby, but they were blessed with a baby girl they named Mandy.

Larson twins were interesting in their own way. Jodie got a job and started on getting a girlfriend.

Jason couldn't get the job he want, nor a partner. He, however, started on making a collection of gnomes, and was very close to summoning a social bunny.

I didn't change it a lot. Updated the playground and lights, Removed the toilet from above the lake (seriously, Maxis? Seriously?!). Designated two spots for weddings, and added cake and champagne. Made it possible to fish from the dock (those ugly blue fields should go away in Live mode.

And since I was already in renovation mood, I started Old Town with another renovation: Custer's Market.

Well, since this was my remake of my favorite lot, so it was already close to how I wanted. I merely replaced the outdoor grocery bins with TS1 remake and some grocery fridges with seed stands. I also replaced the parrot cage with the parrot stand, added the badger family pictures to the wall and an outdoor sign for fruit shop.

And now, onto the Oldies!

Who are off to a great start. Yes. This happened a lot.

Herb got a half-time job to have some extra cash over his pension, while Coral hit the books.

On the business front, I rearranged Jacquets' Bakery and tried running it both as a store and as a restaurant. I returned to the store option, but placed the buy mode cakes in it.

On personal front, Gilbert had a whirlwind romance with Trina that ended with an engagement on the first date.

Trina gave Gilbert quite an expensive gift for that date, so it was used for actually buying closets for this damn house.

The second date ended with Gilbert and Trina's marriage. So, we have our first (successful) marriage in the Uberhood!

Malcolm spent most of his time juggling the two businesses, both of which got an extra employee and slight make-over.

Florence Delarosa ran her flowershop.

Tinkers ran their toy shop (no custom toys), and welcomed baby girl Harmony Tinker to the world. Melody kept to herself, building her body skill.

Ramirez were my favorite family in this town. Lisa took care of Tessa.

Dina Caliente was very set on two things: She will get married, and she will have a baby. Well, she immediately invited Mortimer over, proposed and gotten pregnant. Nina got herself a job and decided to avoid drama.

For most part, Dina's pregnancy was smooth sailing, and she happily welcomed baby boy Fandango Goth to the neighborhood.

Only to keel over. Nina LUCKILY managed to wake up in time, not go into bladder failure, run down the stairs and plead for her sister's soul.

Dina decided it's best to get married tomorrow.

And with that we bring Pleasantview round to the end. What about Oldies and Burbs? They're moving to a different place. But to celebrate this ending, it's time to renovate a community lot! Dice god said: 250 Main Street! (that's the pool lot)

I try to keep the buildings intact, but this time some interior walls needed to go. I've placed decorative parking where the parking goes, added a slide into the pool, and placed some changing booths.

Dreamer House was on the boring side. Dirk did homework and worked to bring in some cash. Darren painted to get on top of the bills. They Hung out together sometimes.

Brandi tried hard to keep up with Beau but her pregnancy was on the hard side. At least she successfully managed to welcome baby Becky Broke into the family.

After that, she attempted to do the responsible thing and get a job - she became a masseuse - though it requires long hours. As such, it meant they had to get a nanny, but that woman! She decided to leave before Brandi brought dough from work and then got mad at them being too broke to pay for her! This lead to her taking their kitchen sink.

Pleasantview starts off with Pleasants. Mary-Sue didn't catch Daniel cheating, so for now everything seems to be going well and everyone's getting along better.

In Goth household, things don't go as smoothly. Don left Cassandra at the altar and that sent her spiraling.

At the wedding that didn't happen, Don at least got hit by a lighting. Mary-Sue, having come as a guest, found herself losing at chess from Alexander.

Cassandra's desperation went on for days, but when she found herself nursing a flour bag in the guest restroom, our girl decided it's time for a change.

Well, one thing led to another.

Rileys are being Rileys.

Ana and Ramir Patel welcomed their baby girl, Dipa, into their home.

Chastity Gere turned her charms on the mailman, and played red hands with Gabriel on the roof.

Jessicca managed to start the first sim-induced fire in the Uberhood, and decided to paint.

And, lastly, having gone through all the household in the town, one community lot was to be renovated. Gods of dice deemed it be:

Central Park Pavilion.

DeBateaus mostly just did their thing, socializing with one another and Tara learning to study.

Baldwins also just had childhood stuff going on.

Connor Weir got Samantha to fall in love with him, while Geoff was trying to get the random townie to like him.

Old creep Carlos Contender got into Chastity Gere's pants.

Cordial twins spent their time studying.
