Hello? Are you still around? :D
I know, I know, I haven't updated since 2019, but it seems I'm back! Thanks to @episims, who patiently helped me at reconnecting with Sims 2 (that I had to reinstall, I had to re-learn SimPE...), who provided tips, links, answers to any silly question I could have.
THANKS A LOT, EPI! ❤️
I'm still a bit rusted, but all in all, it finally went faster than I thought, so I'm going to convert more of my sets. Don't expect weekly updates, but there will be more than once every five years! :D
For this new update, I made my board game boxes because it's what Episims needed the most (more to come, I promise, though I might stick to clutter for a while before. You can write in the comments which sets you'd like to see for Sims 2, and I'll see what I can do!)

(donator access is still the same but you'll be asked for it a new time as it's on a new server)
This is a set of 10 non-default face templates commissioned by the lovely @erekiio! Some faces are new combinations of maxis sims, while others are templates from v1 of my default set that did not make it to v2. Included are optional files for the infant age stage.

Important: You need everything in the folder. You cannot pick&choose, ALL 11 files are necessary to make this mod work.
10 tattoo options in one box
Using TS4 icons that I have mangled & eviscerated until they behaved
Optimized, compressorized files with extra items removed
One linked master texture for hair/face
(none of the tattoos go above the EAxis body’s neckline)
UF & UM now include TF/TM
Pikkon’s converted 3t2 tattoo gun made functional, mesh included in the Tattoo Object
Settable on tables, counters, etc. without losing interact-ability
No more crate!
Teen-YA-Adult-Elder enabled
Tattoos stick through age transitions, both forwards & backwards
Should not overwrite any other tattoos, tattoo boxes, etc.
I don’t have all of them but tested with the ones I know of
Please let me know if there was a problem
Why did I do this?
I hate myself? I have tattoos. Some of these are based on my tattoos.
One of these is EXACTLY (a pixel version of) the matching “Friendshit” tattoo that I got with a dear friend of mine, & that’s what drove me to finally start learning the process to put these functionally in my game. <3
Additional Info:
At this time PLEASE do not clone or alter THESE PARTICULAR files without permission! I will reblog with an update WHEN it is available.
Everything else I’ve ever made is, as always, fair game to do what you want with
I am working with others to get existing tutorials updated (as our schedules allow) & I’ll be trying to create some “blank” tattoo files for other creators to start from
Please be patient until I’ve done that
This is a wildly difficult process.

One installer. Every essential fix, mod, and tool for The Sims 2, set up for you in a few clicks.
I got tired of hunting down the same "must-have" fixes every time I reinstalled The Sims 2 (to the point where it has kept me from playing), so I made a tool that does it for you! 🥳 You choose the fixes, mods, and tools you want, click through, and it installs them all — with automatic backups and a built-in undo, so nothing is permanent and nothing gets lost.
It works with both the 2025 Legacy Collection (Steam and EA App) and the older Ultimate Collection.
⚠️ One heads-up: I only own Legacy (on Steam) and the Ultimate Collection, so I haven't been able to test the EA App or Epic versions of the Legacy Collection myself. They should work, but if you run into any issues on those, please let me know and I'll push out a fix!
Most importantly, none of this content is mine. Every fix, mod, and tool belongs to the creators who made them — I only automate installing them. Full credits and links are in the guide that comes with it. Please go support these people 💜

📋 Want to see exactly what's included first? Here's the full list of every mod, fix, and tool, with credits: https://github.com/familyfunds/sims2-essentials-setup-tool/blob/main/GUIDE.md
More details under the cut 👇
What is it?
The Sims 2 Essentials Setup Tool is a single Windows installer (.exe file). Instead of downloading, unzipping, and hand-placing dozens of separate fixes, you run one program, choose what you want from a checklist, and it puts everything in the right place for you.
There are three quick presets so you don't have to think too hard:
Recommended — the sensible default set.
Complete — everything.
Custom — start from a blank slate and pick only what you want.
What's included
Everything here is curated to work together and this isn't a random pile of downloads. I checked every package against the others for conflicts (comparing the actual game resources each one touches), dropped or swapped anything that clashed, and set the load order in the few cases where two mods needed to coexist. So you can tick things freely without worrying that two fixes will quietly fight each other.
Over 140 hand-picked fixes and mods, grouped into:
Anti-corruption & core — the safety-critical stuff that keeps your neighborhoods healthy.
Bug fixes — dozens of fixes for Maxis bugs, from memory issues to gameplay glitches.
Helpful gameplay mods — quality-of-life tweaks that just make the game nicer to play.
Essential tools & systems:
CEP (Color Enable Package) — downloaded straight from MTS at install, see the note below
The Scriptorium
Radiance Lighting System 2.5
GunMod's Camera Mod 3.1
Rugs off-grid
TS2 Extender 0.8.1 (fixes only, optional extras off by default)
Objects.package corruption protection
Missing content restore (you supply your own Ultimate Collection or disc files — EA content is NOT bundled):
Restore IKEA Home Stuff (works on both Steam and EA/Epic — it sets up whichever your game needs)
Restore Missing Music
Missing Holiday Items
Neighborhood setup: clean/empty stealth 'hoods, or fully disable them, plus the MATY no-townie-regen mods.
Startup cheats: 45° object rotation and quarter-tile placement.
Third-party tools: SimPE, Mootilda's HoodChecker / LotAdjuster / Sims2Pack Clean Installer, and Body Shop for the Legacy Collection.
Backups & undo
This is the part I care about most: before the tool changes or replaces any file, it backs up your original first (to C:\ProgramData\The Sims 2 Essentials Setup Tool\backups). To undo anything, just run the tool again and choose Undo — you get a checklist and can roll back everything or only certain pieces. It does not add itself to "Add or remove programs"; it stays fully self-contained.
Requirements
Windows (I tested and created this on Windows 11)
The Sims 2 Legacy Collection (2025) or Ultimate Collection
For the "Missing" content (IKEA / Music / Holiday), your own UC or disc files
How to use it
First, a friendly nudge: back up your Sims 2 "Documents" folder. The tool shouldn't touch your saves, neighborhoods, or downloads — and it automatically backs up anything it does change — but it's always better safe than sorry. Just copy your Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2… folder somewhere safe before you start. (Besides… when was the last time you backed up your saves? 😉)
Download the .exe. It's unsigned (normal for community tools), so if Windows SmartScreen pops up, click More info → Run anyway.
Right-click the .exe and choose "Run as administrator" — it needs admin rights because it writes into your game folder.
Pick your edition, confirm your Documents folder, tick what you want, and click through.
That's it. To undo later, run it again and choose Undo.
A note on CEP
CEP isn't bundled in the installer — Numenor asks that it only be hosted on Mod The Sims. So if you tick it, the tool downloads it directly from MTS at install time. None of Numenor's files are redistributed here. That does mean CEP is the one thing you can't install while offline — but everything else in the tool works completely fine with no internet connection.
Credits & terms
Genuinely, all of the credit goes to the creators — Numenor, LazyDuchess, GunMod & the Radiance team, HugeLunatic, Mootilda, cyjon, Pescado & MATY, TwoJeffs, Nopke, simler90, LordDarcy, MidgeTheTree, hiloyt, CroconawSims, and so many more. The full list with links is in the included guide.
While I've reviewed everyone's terms of use in detail to make sure I wasn't breaking any rules, I'm only human and I could have missed (or misinterpreted) something. If one of your mods or tools is included in this installer and you'd like me to remove it, please shoot me a message and I'm happy to do so.
The tool itself is free and open-source — you're more than welcome to review every file and exactly what it does on GitHub. It's not affiliated with EA or with any of the creators above.
Missing something? Suggestions welcome
Think I've left out a crucial bug fix or a genuinely helpful mod? Send it my way. If the creator's terms of use allow it, I'm happy to look into adding it.
A quick heads-up on my philosophy, though: I originally built this for myself, and I like my game as close to vanilla as possible. So mods that change gameplay in a big way, or add features that were never in the base game to begin with, generally aren't ones I'll bundle. This isn't meant to be an "everything" list, but I'm always glad to consider suggestions, so don't be shy about sharing what you'd love to see!

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.
Hello July, hope this month will be filled with joy and luck~
I've always wanted a pink car that looks really classy, and of course if it's a convertible then even better, that's why I converted this car. I think there will be a lot of people who also like pink like me, hope you guys like the car too. I've fixed the textures of the steering wheel, dashboard, and license plate to match the car's color perfectly :D
Btw, this is a special version I made for myself, so it'll only come in pink.
Please ignore the somewhat messy thumbnail :v
Original mesh belongs to Lory Sims, the new textures were done by me.

If you'd like to support me, you can buy me a coffee ☕ Thank you! 💘
This is a UI mod that makes selection dialog wider and higher and fit more items. You see this window when you buy magazines or video games on unowned community lots, or set up bed decorations with my Unmade Bed mod, or use other modded objects that may have been released or are going to be released soon 😏

Special thanks to @lordcrumps for making maxis and clean ui pics and counting pixels with me. It was his and @simnopke's idea to make this thing bigger
Some behind the scenes under the cut
Stage 1, breaking out of the tiny window
Stage 2, figuring out how to mod UI again
Stage 3, going big! But not quite there yet
Stage 4, "should I move it 1 more pixel to the left"
🤓
Secret bonus version for behind the scenes viewers who think that smaller is better, available exclusively and only in starship colors (you can only have one version)

i genuinely get emotional when i think about how beloved the sims 2 is and everyone making content and mods for this game two decades later i love you so much i hope we are all simming forever
Here are some favorite patterns I've used everywhere--rainbow houses, comic style, retro 80s/90s/y2k, rockstar, scifi, etc.
I can't locate any example screenshots, but you will see these in the background of other posts.
3 linoleum, 1 carpet, and 3 wallpapers (patterns split, 6 total wallpapers).
Wall patterns are split over 2 walls, labeled PART A and PART B.
Originally, I created wallpapers size 256x768 (best for my game), and sacrificed vertical continuity (don't use in open, multi-story spaces).
I knew one day I'd want vertically seamless options, so 3 months later I have created seamless 256x512 walls. This is good news for MAC users, who will now be able to use these walls.
You can have all 3 downloads installed at the same time.
