Well, I Can Officially Say That Yes, It’s Indeed Possible, And Not Only Is It Possible, But It Is Done:

ATS3 Update | Ilona likes IKEA: the nursery

Another IKEA set, this time, that’s the little Matylda’s bedroom, the nursery!

It includes the TROGEN bed that I have also shrinked into a crib; PS 2012 shelves that are stackables, the PS SURRIG bumbleebee armchair where you can put also stuff on the “wings”; the BESTA shelves, that are shamefully simple, but so very efficient! The full one has a slot, the empty one has two. You can adjust them along the wall as you want. Did you know that you could move up and down very precisely an object against the wall with the ALT key?

I still need more IKEA furniture to complete the house, with desks and bookcases, and then, I should be done. I’ll make a big Collection file for the whole theme when it’s completely done. But I had so much fun with this theme that I’ve decided to make an IKEA advent calendar this year! ;)

PS: I’m completely behind my Tumblr browsing, and this time, I won’t even try to catch up! I’m a bit busy with RL and all my free time goes into meshing! *facepalm* I can’t prevent myself! Anyway, thanks for sticking with me, even if I’m soooooooo silent! I MISS YOU!

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.

Permanent Quarter-Tile Placement On!

Just wanted to share a tip I know about how to make the Quarter Tile Placement Cheat on all the time so you just have to press Ctrl + F when you want to use it without having to type in a cheat each time.

Many of you may know that adding “setquartertileplacement on” to your userStartup.cheat doesn’t work, so I’m going to tell you where you can put it that does work, in case you didn’t already know!

So, head to Origin Games\The Sims 2 Ultimate Collection\Fun with Pets\SP9\TSData\Res\Config and open up the file called “globalProps.xml” with a text editor, I recommend Notepad++. You should probably make a backup of this file first before making any changes, just in case.

In this file, scroll to the bottom and you should see a line that says:

<AnyBoolean key=“quarterTilePlacementEnabled” type=“0xcba908e1”>false</AnyBoolean>

Simply change the false to true and save the file and that’s it! The Quarter Tile Placement cheat will always be on without you having to type it in ever again! Simply toggle it on and off with Ctrl + F!

Hope that helps at least someone! I was telling my friend @morepopcorn​ about this trick and I couldn’t find the website where I initially read about how to do this anymore so she suggested I should make this post as it might not be common knowledge.

Rabbit pen - a default replacement (yet another collab with @episims​ ❤)

Put your hand up if you ever used this toy dog pen! 🙋‍♀️ No one? Yeah, thought so XD

Originally I wanted to make this a custom pen, but then we decided that the toy dog pen wouldn’t be missed, so we made a default! And also, because the animations needed to be edited, and it was easier this way! (we’re not going to create a custom verison)

The bunny comes from sims 4 (many thanks to @tvickiesims​ for extracting it!), but it got adjusted to the pen. It has all the original 8 color variations (4 as defaults, and 4 recolors)! The animations are not accurate (that’s not how bunnies move!), and there’s also some clipping as well, but that was the best we could do. The weirdest animations got removed though, so the bunnies don’t bark at least. The sounds also got removed, bunbun is a silent creature!

The bunny has its own pet treat, and its own food box texture. The pen also got a little facelift, featuring some hay, a chewing stick, and a wooden bunny house! (that they never use, but whatever, it’s part of the ~aesthetic~) Despite this, all the existing recolors should work fine with this default!

The toy dog-related wants (and fears) also got adjusted, so now sims roll wants and fears about the bunnies instead of the dogs! Important! The Wants file in the download shouldn’t be renamed, because it’ll stop working!

The description and interaction texts were changed and got translated to Finnish and Hungarian as well. If you wish to provide a translation to other languages, please contact Epi!

Update 08/12/22: Polish translation by @jellymeduza​ added!

Update 08/17/22: More translations added! Russian by @summer-choi-simblr​, French by @tvickiesims​, and Brazilian Portuguese by @itsyuna​! Thank you all!

Update 08/18/22: Even more translations added, woo! Spanish by @nevernerdenough, and Swedish by @namelessperson98! Thank you so much!

Update 11/11/22 (cool date lol): Text got replaced in the buy a toy dog want (only the Wants file changed). Please tell us if it doesn’t work, we couldn’t test it properly!

Update 12/14/23: Portuguese translation by @logansimmingwolverine​ added! Thank you so much!

Mesh, texture, and font credits go to Eaxis, Freepik, Julsfels, Veranka, Eddysims, Franzillasims

Oh and it’s advisable to delete your thumbnails to see the changes in the pet selection window!

Have fun, and tell us if you find any problems! 🐇

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.

Ode to Marisol

So, this is one of my first trips through Memory Lane, a sim i enjoyed the most, Marisol Velasquez.

First, a little bit of backstory, one day, i guess in 2011, i installed The Sims 3 on my mother's laptop (this was due to my own computer having problems), when i started the game, i played with an empty Riverview save, and created my first inhabitant, a Latina Gall named, if it wasn't obvious, Marisol Velasquez.

Later on, i had to uninstall The Sims 3 from my mother's laptop (and she forbid me and my sister to install things on her laptop), but when i was back to my computer, i started a town where before standed Sunset Valley, named Vilabella, and one of my first sims there was, drumroll please...

Marisol Velasquez, a cutie wasn't she.

But then a simmers worst nightmate happend, game crashing, graphics card on the loose... and a lot of restarting Vilabella.

In some of those restarts i had plans to add Marisol back to the neighborhood, unfortunatly, that never came to happend untill a day where an idea came... And Marisol came back, but...

...as a Teen.

Since she was a teen she would require Family, so i made her mother, and her mother's boyfriend, not Marisol's dad...

Meet Miss Carmen Velasquez and Paco Sanches.

And well this is where Marisol's story currently stands, hope you enjoyed the first trip through Memory Lane.
