A few hours ago, Kuttoe sent an announcement in Sims After Dark that NateTheL0ser's MTS account was compromised with several uploads containing a new script file called "silkrose_debug" that attempts to download files from a third-party website. It was confirmed that more creators have had their accounts compromised in the second announcement.

It would be highly recommended to avoid the site completely until everything is back to normal. And if you really want to download something, do so at your own risk. Make sure to scan your PC and download ModGuard. If either of them have detected something, delete it and immediately change all of your passwords. And in a worst case scenario, wipe your OS and change your passwords from a different, uninfected device.

Decor and clothing should not have script files included!

Current list of confirmed, affected creators: PurrSimity, jellyheadDimbulb, and NateTheL0ser (has regained control of their account, however you should still be VERY cautious), o_pedrão (on LoversLab, intentionally malicious)

UPDATE 02/03/26: NEW MALWARE HAS BEEN FOUND IN A MOD CALLED VIRGINITY SYSTEM BY O_PEDRÃO HOSTED ON LOVERSLAB

Animated Open Window Mod by cmomoney on Modthesims

This mod adds an "Open" and "Close" interaction to the "Stray" and "Window of Opportunity" windows, so Sims (YA and up) can open and close them. Just click on the window select "Open", and the Sim will walk over to the window and open it. Click on the window and select "Close", and the Sim will walk over to it and close it.

Download the fixed mod for patch 1.67 by tog37 here. (I have tested this in my own game and it works perfectly.)

ok I need to document this because I’ve just fixed something that refused to work on the SAME machine under Windows 11 😭

Sims 2 custom videos (black screen / not showing) on Linux Mint – FIX

I was having the classic issue:

custom AVIs not showing on computer screens / TVs

black screen or nothing happens

files work fine in VLC so it makes no sense

this is NOT a mod issue. it’s a codec problem.

what’s actually wrong

Sims 2 uses an old video system (DirectShow + VP6 codec)

Linux doesn’t include that properly in Wine by default, so the game literally can’t read the video even though the file exists.

how I fixed it (Lutris method)

open Lutris

select The Sims 2 in your library

at the bottom of the window, next to the Play button, click the small arrow (▲)

click Winetricks

you’ll get a window asking what to do:

👉 choose “Select the default wineprefix” → OK

next screen: 👉 choose “Install a Windows DLL or component”

install these:

quartz

wmp9

lavfilters

let everything install, close Winetricks, then launch the game

result

custom computer screen videos → WORKING

custom TV videos → WORKING

no black screens anymore

important note

if you copied your Sims 2 install from another OS before, don’t overwrite the VP6 folders inside the game files. those are OS-specific and can break video playback.

honestly???

this worked better on Linux Mint than it EVER did on my Windows 11 setup 💀

With the release of the Legacy collection, the original The Sims game has seen a resurgence in its modding scene. While much of the modding community is currently located in places like Tumblr or specialized sites such as Simblr.cc, most sites don't have the sort of infrastructure, history, or community that MTS does. 

While other sites such as TSR had a section for The Sims, they've recently locked them and prohibited new submissions. Additionally, TSR has a history of being driven primarily by profit while MTS is almost entirely driven my fans. It seems wrong that one of the oldest, and most established, Custom Content aggregate sites doesn't have it's own dedicated section for The Sims as so much of the games' original custom content from the 2000s disappears. 

MTS having its own section would make it one of the only custom content aggregate sites to have a functioning download section for the original game.

Factory Recolors of Tre Zillah's 1973 Pinto by Malthaussen | Modthesims

This car is from the 1970s, but it will work for your 1980s (or '90s) sims who are still driving older model cars. These are all real colors used on Ford Pinto cars in 1973.

These recolors require Tre Zillah's original mesh, which is also available on Modthesims and linked in on the download page.

THOT EXPERIMENT: A Sims 4 Y2K Inspired CC Lookbook!

A Sims 4 lookbook inspired by the trashy y2k/mcbling aesthetic with punk, alternative, and kawaii elements for an added cute-edgy flair ^_^

**Disclaimer: none of the CC included in this lookbook was created by me! I am simply compiling outfits that I put together in an organized lookbook format and sharing it as a way to help other Sims 4 users find cool custom content. If you are a creator who would like me to remove their item from a look for whatever reason, please let me know and I'll change it! I also customized the models' bodies and faces using various CC. If anyone is interested in the content I used for them, just ask!!**
