Not Quite a 100 Followers gift...

...But i guess you should be rewarded with something, right?

Anyway, i'm glad GOS is back to normal, unfortunatly they lost a lot of downloads after they had to return to a previous backup, one of those might have been a pair of rug recolours someone requested:

Unfortunatly for Sims 3 users, this rug is for sims 2, some might ask "How about you livejournal for sims 2 stuff" Well, bodyshop and cas went quite buggy a while ago, so i haven't been playing a lot of sims 2 actually...

Anyway, here are some rug recolours for sims 2 players (The mesh is by Sandy and it's included, so thank her for her generous policy):

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!

The Sims console and The Sims Bustin' Out collection file for The Sims 2 can be found on my collection files page: Found Here

Regarding the Future of the Keep

Due to many factors, not just financial, and after careful consideration, it has been decided that Plumb Bob Keep will close its doors on March 1, 2024.

This extra year has been given to us so we can properly archive the site and ensure that the content is still accessible. We will be launching a kickstarter or similar donation drive to repay Stas, Sunni's widower, for this bonus year.

The staff of PBK would like to thank the community as a whole for their amazing creations over the years, the way you all pulled together to help archive the site, and the comraderie and friendship that we have shared as historical simmers.

Looking forward, there are ideas in the works for a new, "spinoff" site where we can continue to host downloads, and the Discord will go on as well, possibly under a new name. We hope many, if not all of you, will make this transition with us.

Thank you again for 12 wonderful years of simming, and for proving that there was definitely enough interest for a forum dedicated to medieval and other historical content!

New update on Lifejournal

Here, have som grungy recolours for the Wormrat cage:

Come take a look

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.

Pillowfort Invites

Hey, I have a couple of Pillowfort invites if anyone is interested, as a bonus, have a .gif of Kiryu and Majima (yes, it’s a recreation of that one from Kiwami): https://www.pillowfort.social/user/sign_up?invite=kamalUdC3JAWPbK4gq53Ow https://www.pillowfort.social/users/sign_up?invite=j4OsVTjUZodIwIZ5BH7_Bw https://www.pillowfort.social/users/sign_up?invite=hzGcrg-irAaoY2uBG2kVRA Edit: Have three more:          https://www.pillowfort.social/users/sign_up?invite=Q1fEPblJs9EuzDhGfhJlWQ https://www.pillowfort.social/users/sign_up?invite=Vk8BxxccC0nDOaBatqgZAg https://www.pillowfort.social/users/sign_up?invite=itla-x8mVboGVBC1K2U78w If anyone uses any of these, please give me a heads up, so I don’t keep them up and have people click on used links

Oh we're doing a simblr gratitude day... wait what do you mean i'm a day or two late?! Well where do I even begin, I'm not exactly the most vocal person on social media, and a lot of my connections were formed through forums like the Keep and the late but not forgotten Sims Daily, but plenty of the people I met there are still around here, and I'm always happy to see them post, regardless of what sims game they are playing.

I'm going to tag some people I've appreciated through the years and some that I am thankful to have met and others that I don't know personally but i still find their work pretty cool, in no particular order @fireflowersims @fracturedmoonlight @davinaojeda @anachronisims @mortia @missy-hissy @aroundthesims @ice-creamforbreakfast @icemunmun-spicy-scalpel @sentate @pforestsims @deedee-sims @jacky93sims @lamare-sims @lazyduchess @asimplevampire @osab @crispsandkerosene @mrs-mquve-cc @episims @simnostalgia @mustluvcatz-reloaded @tvickiesims @jellymeduza @hodgekiss @bstu @gummilutt @12raben @bayoubashsims @glorianasims @gayars @emperorofthedark @esotheria-sims @withlovefromsimtown @goatskickin @itsdiamondeyesuniverse @riekus13 @junipermeadows @lavenderlight @simping-simmer @midgethetree @samkat10423 @vampirekiss6661 @franglishetchocolat @sitaechoes @anitmb and @aniraklova I probably missed a ton more of people, but just know that i appreciate everyone, my mutuals, the cc creators, the storytellers, the builders, the photographers, everyone that makes this little corner of the internet and the sims community special, In fact the reason I got this post as late as I did was because I was seriously trying to remember all the amazing people In the community I've met before or found to be cool, and again, even If I haven't tagged you and we've interacted before, know that I haven't forgotten about you, and that I still appreciate you!

Happy 20th Birthday, The Sims 2! may we keep having fun for years to come!!

Happy 18th Birthday to the best game in the franchise! You're legal now, The Sims 2!

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.
