Maxis Match Buffet Platters and "Grand Rotunda" Banquet Table
If you don't care for the text exposure of how this set came to be, you can just go straight for the Neocities download page (Check it out, it has a gallery now too!!):
Download
and now, for the context
Early this week Lord Crumps released a 4t2 conversion of the Luxury Party stuff pack, that included this nifty custom functional serving platter, courtesy of Lamare.
However, since a lot of straightforward sims 4 conversions don't match the visual style of my game much, I decided to clone the serving tray and use Pineapple Forest's Restaurant Cloche default mesh and textures to replace it with, but then, the project escalated (Not as much as other projects), and I decided to also include a Banquet Table that matched The Rotunda Table from Celebrations, and instead of sticking of one size of party platter, how about two, and make it recolorable and repositoried while I'm at it!
So This is what you get, 3 Objects and 1 recolor
Again, special thanks to @lordcrumps @lamare-sims for the original objects, and @pforestsims for the mesh and textures of the cloche.
PS: I do recommend the mod edit that comes with the party pack to make the sims make more use of the buffet platters.
Potions A Plenty - Potion Brewing Set
Pulling from most every other set of Sun&Moon for potion ingredients, this set gives the sims the ability to brew various potions that affect moods, skills, life states, aging, pregnancy, health, and a variety of other mostly harmless effects.
The Quick Feature Review/Set Breakdown below the cut.
Download - SFS
View Use/Instruction Manual
The Potion Crafting Bench - The heart of the set itself, the potion bench is where components are stored, prepared, and combined into batches of potions. At this station, sims can do the following.
Practice potion making and brew a total of 56 potions that have varying effects when drank by sims
Earn Logic Skill and Science Enthusiasm
Stock materials
Order Supply Bundles to facilitate quicker potion making
Obtain a Writ of Mastery in potion crafting
Keep a tidy workstation by keeping things clean
A set of “basic” potions, and their ingredients will be considered REQUIRED for function. Do not remove those files. Let the manual guide you.
Access to these is dictated by logic skill level as well as a writ of mastery/Creature Life State/Traits.
This station has 28 decorative slots, as well as a decorative mode to enable/disable effects and an "in use" look at will.
Story Mode Enabled - Skip all the ingredients and steps, just enjoy the end products, or just run the animations on a station for the ease of taking pictures.
*New Feature* - Station Cleanliness. As the station is used, it will obtain dirty points. This dirty level affects the outcomes of potion crafting and increases failure chances. Make sure to keep the cauldron clean to ensure quality products!
*New Feature* - Supply Ordering. For a flat rate, sims can buy a bulk order of various materials needed for any potion. They will be added directly to the station's crafting counts.
All potions can be found in Hobbies/Logic. Complete Danish and Portuguese translations. If you'd like to translate into your native language, please share your strings with us and we'll update the set proper!
Inventory Tools & New Items
Botanical Book - Pretty and useful. Inventory Tool.
Writ of Mastery - Apothecary Version. Inventory Tool.
Crate of Jars - 6 glass jars needed for potion making.
Cauldron Dregs - Waste produced from cleaning the station or failing in potion making.
Bonus Items
Reference Tome - In game recipe book for all potions
Counter Split OMSP - Give maxis counters a chance to hold more things!
Display Shelves - 9 decorative slots, two versions.
Apothecary Todd Cart and Pavilion - Previously released sets bundled into this set; they have been optimized and renamed, please remove the old versions.
Potion Specifics
Potions come in 5 types: Basic, Folk Remedy Potions, Arcane Potions, Creature/Lifestate Potions, and Poison Potions. The more fantastical the potion, the more complex it is to make.
Please be aware that depending on your playstyle you will have to add more files from other sources or you can delete certain files from this set without worry; For example, if you do not play your game with creature life states or custom creature life states, you may delete anything related to those potions, provided it is not used in another “basic” potion.
Potions are NOT recolorable and will not be made so in the future. If you wish to alter the bottle/potion colors yourself, this may be done in the properties/categorized properties tab of each subset txmt in SimPe, using the stdMatDiffCoef line.
Potions Vs. Teas: You will notice that many potions have the same effects as previously released teas from the Quali-Tea set. So what’s the difference?
Teas are based on cooking and logic skills only. Potions function more on Logic skill level and a Writ of Mastery, OR Witch/Warlock state, and other traits.
Teas are single cup per crafting interactions (except basic hunger teas). Potions will always produce in a batch of 6.
In some cases, Teas require MORE ingredients to make, whereas Potions require LESS ingredients but higher Logic skill and rarer/less natural ingredients.
While potions can have the same effect as a similar tea, more risk is involved with taking them and sims can experience adverse/opposite of intended effects.
Petition: Dedicated TS1 download section on MTS.
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.
Happy to see some of my remeshes flying out of FreeSo and into other Sim Games!!

I made some eye bag/tired eye make up for one particular sim but I liked how they looked on everyone so I use it a lot. It comes in 10 colors (Used AlfredAskew's lip color actions, deleted the ones that were too neon pink)
Found in the blush category

Some cozy warm clothes for dudes. Using the 3t2 Fair Folk Sylvan mesh that Yuxi converted. I really like trying to see what I can 'add' or change to meshes without actually editing the mesh. So this was a fun project, I think I learned some things from it (Especially that fur @_@)
The colors ended up a little dark. And I only recolored the jacket because otherwise It'd take me an eternity to decide on color combos.
For AM, TM, and CM.

Remade this dress I made a few years ago. I learned a lot since then. I kept it pretty faithful to the original but added more detailing, like making the bodice/armor's straps make actual sense and made the lacing better.
lol why did I pick this sim with that hair for the preview
It comes in 15 colors. I picked them to either be similar to the original dress's colors (which I remember a lot of people complimenting!) and then some more colors I personally liked. I wanted to include the PSD to encourage recolors but it ended up being too much of a mess...
In the future I hope to use this palette for all clothes I make.

If you're having issues with your box redirects, use this, Thank you for this, honestly!
Hi packrat, I’m looking to download the animal skeleton from vampirekiss6661 over at medivalsims (http://www.medievalsims.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=33454#p33454) but (for me?) the download doesn’t even open (https://app.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.box.com%2Fs%2F03b64dce4ab45fca3a5a) is there any way you have them or I’m just not handy enough to find out how to download?
Hank you! ✨
Hello Fruitvillevillage! :-D I'm not sure why box has (once again) trouble re-directing links, hopefully it's a temporary issue. Anyhow, I made a quick redirect (download here, and you need this addon: chrome / firefox) which seems to work as it should? I've tested the links on the page you sent and the next page, and they all re-direct correctly but do let me know if I messed up somewhere :-) for those of you who don't want to install the redirector, here is how I solved it:
Example url:
https://app.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.box.com%2Fs%2F03b64dce4ab45fca3a5a
Delete everything after .com/ and write /s/, like this:
https://app.box.com/s/
and then, copy the numbers/text after "F", in this case these:
https://app.box.com/shared_item/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.box.com%2Fs%2F03b64dce4ab45fca3a5a
and then you should have a working link, like this:
https://app.box.com/s/03b64dce4ab45fca3a5a
and that's it!
Is it just me or is anyone else having issues with downloading box links again... the old redirector doesn't work, but like, it's doing the thing again, where it's stuck in downloading indefinetively
For someone who struggles to understand sometimes what a given block does inside a specific BHAV, this might be useful!
BHAV to Diagram Tool
I've just released a web tool for The Sims 2 modders that converts SimPe BHAV code to Mermaid diagrams. It's intended to make BHAV functions easier to understand, especially the big ones.
BHAV to Mermaid diagram (cosmatevs.github.io)
Yeah, like, it makes sense when a large boat uses a larger texture, an hourglass that you see for like... 10 seconds.. not so much, if you can encompass details in smaller textures to the point none of them would be lost... better to do that than have 2k Textures for a piece of deco clutter that's gonna be used a lot but barely occupies the space of a slot
I was curious and decided to summarily investigate the base game's heaviest textures.
Most are 1024x1024. However, the urn sculpture is 512x2048:
Also, the Grim Reaper's hourglass' texture is uselessly big:
His ass is not respecting "texture size roughly matching the size of the object on the screen" !! lol
Edit: I initially did not look at EPs. PineappleForest pointed out the Bon Voyage pirate ship uses two 2k textures. Looking through EP files, I also found three for the Freetime basketball courts. Considering the sizes of these objects, a fair use.
(In general I find that the textures from later EPs are better in general 🤔 like you don't see the flat floodfilling you have in some base game textures.)
Thank God 2 Still remains in pristine condition *knocks on wood so EA doesn't get any ideas*, despite the fact Microsoft is making harder and harder to run legacy software, where there's a will there's a way. As for the state of 4... I would really like to know where are EAs investors , I just want to talk.
God, I really do not like the direction The Sims is going.
Yeah, these kinds of scams aren't new, attackers will pretend to have reported your account and then direct you to another scammer account to pull your info like this. That to say, please be careful with the kinds of DMs you receive, if it has anything to do with your discord account, check the official sources like the discord main support channels (as much help that may be) , not some random account pretending to be the real deal Also as several people pointed out already, most likely, the original account that targeted yours was also compromised before in a similar attack. and most importantly, remember, be careful, just because you think you can't be caught in one of these, doesn't mean you are completely immune to being scammed.
Hi guys!! just to want you guys know. my discord account (@fwaldorf) has been hacked/compromised. i was a victim of fraud by a user here in the community. under the nickname of BlakeIsHere he was on LazyDuchess discord server and i previously talked to him before in 2022 i think, and we talked about sims and strangetown. 💀I don´t have access to my profile anymore so i can´t show you guys screenshots of the conversation and i didn´t take any since i never thought it would end up in this.
If you can help me with reblogs i´ll be grateful!
He contacted me because he made a "report" thinking i was a scammer since the person who talked to him has a similar photo i had, he told me that i needed to contact austin.elo0305 to make the appeal to my account. You guys probably think i was stupid i really was tbh, i h8 myself because of it but i gave that austin dude access to my profile since i thought he was a official discord member. Then, he threatened me if i don´t pay him for a security key on G2A my bank information will be compromised and i will end up in prision and blockment since i didn´t pay. That scared me, tbh. I pay it. Then, he asked for more and obviously i didn´t pay. He sent my personal bank information and they tried to charge the card but i didn´t had anything there thank god i censored my personal information, ofc
Please, if someone can help me to report to both accounts, BlakeIsHere and the austin.elo0305 i´ll be completely grateful. He is asking for more money for access to my old account 💀
It´s very fucked up that a member of this community made this kind of thing. But okay, people on internet can be this harmful. Please, keep in mind that any member of Discord will not try to change your login information and take care!
I already made the report to my bank and they told me that i needed to contact the page i made the purchase and i´m waiting for a response. I hope i can have my money back. But please, take care. Don´t trust anyone online. I was stupid and i thought this was real, idk why but these things happen.
the conversation ended with this 😭

20th Anniversary Gift for The Sims 2 from The Sims Console and The Sims Bustin' Out
Happy 20th anniversary to The Sims 2! I absolutely love The Sims 2 and how this game was treated. Every platform for it provides different, unique gameplay and lore. Out of all the PC versions, this is the one I tend to gravitate towards. There's just something about it. So here's a gift to celebrate it! This gift consists of 9 conversions (+ an extra of the Torchemada Wall Torch to include a flipped version) from The Sims console and The Sims Bustin' Out. This was heavily inspired by the master bedroom at the Goth Manor location, also in spirit of Halloween coming up! Please let me know if there’s any issues!

CDK/MoneyMAT: Cashpointe Set
Published: 9-14-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY MoneyMAT is a collection of modified objects for financial operations and storytelling in your game. The series includes functional cash clutter, as well as tools for banking, loans, and investments. #CO2MONEYMAT This is a crossover with the #CO2CDKSERIES. Cubic Dynamics by John B. Cube and Marcel Dusims forged the future with furnishings that were minimalist in design and maximalist in erudite pretension. Generations later, the company continues to produce edge-of-cutting-edge designs. Celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Sims 2 (EA/Maxis, 2004) by adding various currencies from the simsverse to your game – simoleons, magicoin, simoles, OMEGA, neo simoleons, simoleon sprouts, war simoleons, and more. Canon currencies and extra recolors allow you to create a color-coded banking/investment system. All items are grabbable, sellable and available in the catalog as well. Watch out for robbers!
The newly enhanced Cashpointe ATM (Honeywell, 2019; Katy76/PC-Sims, 2007) can be used for small loans, currency exchanges, and investments: (1) LOANS of §250, §500, §1K, §5K, §10K, §20K, or §30K with no payment schedule! After repaying in full, sims can take out new loans, (2) GET CASH by converting household funds to individual cash notes, coins, rolls, stacks, cards, or palettes, and (3) INVEST in virtual currencies which increase/decrease in value over time. Children can do everything except take/repay loans.
Collector’s coins can be sold and make great gifts for investors. Simoleon, Magicoin and Simoleon Sprout coins always increase in value over time while NeoSimoleons and other CryptoCoins increase AND decrease daily (sometimes they fluctuate twice in one day). DETAILS Requires Sims2 and all EPs/SPs. §1 - §30K | Buy > Electronics/Misc You need the Company Expo (Mesh Pack) set (Simmons, 2024) for TXTRs to show properly in game. ALL files in the CASHPOINTE set with “MESH” in their name are REQUIRED. Apply a recolor of your choice to cards or cryptocoin piles AFTER purchasing them from the ATM (or select directly from the catalog). Investment objects will NOT change in value while stored in a sim’s inventory – they must be placed on a surface for that effect. IMPORTANT: The individual cash notes (§1, §5, §10, §20, §50, §100, §500, and §1000) share the same GUIDs as those in Honeywell’s Money Jar (2019). The money Jar will use the notes from this set instead. Remove the originals.

Apartment Life "PJ Tank Top" for Teens and Elders
In honor of Sims 2's twentieth anniversary I finally sat down and polished a Maxis conversion I'd done ages ago, which is the apartment life male pajamas for teen-elder. (They're my favorite pajamas in the whole game so...) They use Maxis feet and hands (I mean it's Maxis Match after all!), are repo'd to the adult txmts so any default replacement textures will work, and are pinned to the Apartment Life EP section. I also included a default for the adult male mesh that adds a pregnancy morph. All six swatches are included, though I could only get four of them in the screenshots. Second screenshot is the fat morph.

My Humble Gift for the Game's 20th Anniversary
A llama laval lamp! It is found under Lighting/Table Lamps for 100$, and casts a cool white light. The animated textures loop smoothly in game. I just couldn't fit the whole cycle in a gif. The llama started its existence as a mesh from TS3's Midnight Hollow set, converted here by Veranka. Also: wew, slave subsets are even more of a pain in the ass on lamps. Enjoy being able to recolour the goo, glass and glow pattern, because I spent a while finicking with them. -> Download at SimFileShare
A Gift for the 20th Anniversary of The Sims 2
Well, this would normally be the part where I just uploaded a picture of what it is and a link to the download, but I decided to bring back me going on verbose tirades, if not for just a tiny bit This game has been in my life for very long time, 20 years huh, next year the game will legally be allowed to drink in all countries, xD So what did I decide to make to celebrate this special location, something related to Iconic things like the freezer bunny, llamas, cowplants? No, I decided to celebrate what could have been.
This is an early screenshot for The Sims 2 prior to release, for a while, we knew that at a point in development, jewelry was added to the game, only for it to be completely dropped before the game went gold.
What we can see in this screenshot, is what I suspect to be where you would be able to buy said jewelry in a community lot, this being one of the two pictures where you can see said displays (The other picture having slightly worse visibility of said displays)
I've always wanted to see these displays in full glory, but considering how much we've digged out of the game files already, nothing related to these displays remains in the game files
So, I decided to try my luck to recreate them
I knew coming into this project that they would never bee a 1 for 1 recreation (proportions might be wrong, can't really see how the jewelry in the displays looks like in detail), so I decided to at least recreate the overall shape of the stands and fill them with jewelry that ended up shipping with Boy Voyage, and a bit from the Prism Art Studio jewelry display as well for good measure. I am happy with my work, but feel free to try and fill the stands in your own way, that was decidedly my worse struggle with this, just give me credits.

Tutorial: Fixing Exploded Lot Imposters
Published: 8-25-2024 | Updated: N/A SUMMARY Using dozens of the same object on a lot—such as a window on a skyscraper, or lots of the same tree/hedge on a large park lot—may cause “exploded” lot imposters. The lot imposter is the version of a lot seen in neighborhood view or from adjacent lots during gameplay. The error often appears in the form of warped or smeared objects – as if someone wiped part of the screen with a wet cloth. In other cases, the mesh looks like broken shards and/or pokes through other parts of the lot. Meanwhile, everything looks fine when you enter it. This error seems rare, having only occurred about 4-5 times over two decades, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying. Don’t panic! The object itself is likely not broken (although double-checking wouldn’t hurt) but the error happens as your game tries to render the same object/textures multiple times. In my testing, the culprit was usually a single object and one of its recolorable subsets. SOLUTION I used to delete the blown-up lot and rebuild it until the problem went away. Yet, a much easier solution exists – recolors! Apply 1 or more recolors across copies of object and that should fix the warped/exploded object on the lot imposter. In most cases, this should take care of the problem. In this example, the windows “exploded” in hood view. After applying plain glass recolors from THIS (Simmons, 2023) set, the problem didn’t go away. The true culprit was the metal detail on the glass – for which I had no recolors for. I made some (HERE), using similar colors which looked the same from a distance, and that solved the problem.
Simmers who use lots of greenery in their landscaping might encounter an exploded lot imposter. Keep similar recolors in your arsenol…just in case. During gameplay, this happened when I used a ton of custom hedges repo’d to the default one (“boxy lady”). This has also happened with the default birch tree in-game, so I recommend keeping something like Gwenke33’s recolors (2011) handy.

After weeks of email round robin where every tech support person knew something different. ^_^
It's back! For realz this time. With it's totally centered header if your browser is wide that I'll most likely never fix because I don't ever want to do this again.
A big thanks to everyone for their patience and support. I hope to never do this again.
All bookmarks should work. All redirects from old digitalperversion links should work. Feel free to let me know of any links not working. Unless it's cc stuff, then I probably not the one to ask.
GMDC Importer/Exporter for Blender 4.1+
You might have noticed that the GMDC importer/exporter by DjAlex88 doesn't work with Blender 4.1+. So I made a compatible version… with a new feature I needed.
Download on GitHub
I've never made a Blender add-in or coded in Python before, so I hope I didn't break anything.
Please let me know if it works the same as before once you have tested it.
