@staff @support, have you considered fixing your bot for once, it hasn’t been almost a week since the last account purging, and you’ve hit more blogs again, reinstate back @riekus13 and @lolitarecolors
I’m pretty much a nobody in the sims community so I doubt this would get around that much, but considering the latest events with tumblr randomly deleting blogs, I’m pretty sure riekus13 got deleted as well, since their blog was there last night, but isn’t today anymore (morning time for me when I’m writing this post).
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.
Honestly, I’ve been thinking about that possibility for a while now, and it would be awesome if I could figure out doing something like that, but I don’t really know how to do that.
Hey long time no see, how is everyone doing! So this was something that was on the works for a while before It evolved into it’s own mega project, So for those that don’t know, I’m a bit of a coffee appreciator, and I like to have options for my simmies, so it became a separate project of its own. Mod Blends are just that - Mods that enhance the experience of having some of these objects within your game, as I’m about to show you, right now this is the only Mod Blend, but depending of how much I start to mess with things, others will come in the future. So, what does Barista Plus do?
Well, why don’t I show you.
this is a version of the Game without Barista Plus
this on the other hand, is a version of the game with Barista Plus In a nutshell, it allows for custom espresso bars to spawn their own Baristas in unowned community lots!!!! It has been something that has been bugging me since I found out that custom Espresso Bars didn’t have this functionality. But why didn’t they work, you might ask. Short Version: EAxis’s Spaghetti Code at it again. Long Version: It’s not that they didn’t work, they clone just fine, however, the Barista NPC Template has this unique BHAV called “Get My Stand”, basically this BHAV is the one that does the detection for the espresso bar, and io and behold, it only detects one GUID from the Uni Espresso Bar, nothing else, hence why none other custom espresso bar couldn’t spawn a Barista.
So what this does is expand the number of GUID’s the BHAV can detect, which allows for them to fully function in an unowned community lot. Right now, it detects: -Around the Sims 2′s Tea Shop Cart -Vitasims’s Victorian Tea Espresso Cart -linegud’s Elegant Espresso -All Espresso Bars I’m about to release. “But wait!” you might ask “are there any Free GUIDs I can use that are natively compatible with Barista Plus” Of course there are, I saved some from my GUID book specifically for this: 0x0093BBF0- 0x0093BBF1- 0x0093BBF2- 0x0093BBF3- 0x0093BBF4- 0x0093BBF5- 0x0093BBF6- Feel free to use any of them, but please do give me a heads up when you use them, I don’t want people taking GUID and accidentally making objects conflict. How to use them: Make it the GUID for the 0,0 Object Data, that’s it, that’s as simple as that. If you know of any other espresso bars on the wild or if you have your own already on the works with GUIDs and anything, please do tell and I’ll update the mod accordingly. And without further ado: Download Hope you enjoy it! Version Status: 1.0 - Initial Relase Special thanks: MidgeTheTree for setting me in the right direction, Fireflower, Frac and probably a lot of people from The Keep who gave me help and support for doing this.
I ought to start rebloging stuff I might need later rather than just like... like I think my likes tab is a mess
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.
A Shader Edit/Default Replacement "StandardMaterial" is the shader commonly used by sims objects. It tells the game how to render them, and by default offers features such as making them glowy or transparent. However, most of its effects apply to the whole material at once. I figured out how to edit it! So here is my improved version. It now supports: - An "additive" texture map, lighting up specific areas of the material. - An envCube mask, controlling the intensity of this effect via a texture. - Two new envCube modes, and improvements to an undiscovered one. + "Blend" replaces the base texture by the envCube's. + "Multiply" multiplies them together (duh). + "DiffuseRadiance", which already existed in the shader, adds the envCube texture to the light received by the material rather than its already lit texture. All three of them support the envCube mask and the envCubeCoef parameter. The envCube modes are mutually exclusive, but all effects can otherwise be used with each other. The download itself contains the shader package, a pdf ReadMe listing features and material parameters, and examples showcased on my envCubeTesterObject (also included). The readme lists the specific shader files I've edited, in case anyone else made an incompatible mod. (I've not included the recolours from the first preview pic as they're kind of lame lol + I had to make a CEP extra for the robot.) I'm hyped to see what cool objects and recolours people will make with this! And I'm probably forgetting information.

I feel very attacked, but yeah, this check out
when i want to play the sims but
We've noticed some confusion about what @simblreenofficial is, and how it works.
First of all, we're here to manage and clarify doubts about this event. We make a guide, we give out dates, we answer asks and we reblog content made for Simblreen. This is to help newcomers to simblr, or simblrs who didn't participate in past years. When they see people mention Simblreen but don`t understand what it is or how it works, our blog is here as a reference that everyone can point to.
Simblreen was an event born out of simblrs wanting to do something fun for Halloween as well as share what they made with others. We are not the end all be all of events surrounding Halloween in the simblr community. There are CAS challenges, edit challenges. We know some people have their own events in discord, and facebook, etc. This doesn't concern us, just like events made around Christmas don't concern us.
Multiple people manage this account, and you are free to reach out to them on their personal accounts for personal opinions (doesn't mean we will answer on our personal accounts either, but you know...). But please do not tag or involve @simblreenofficial. We're here only as a guide for Simblreen.
We've also seen people being worried of doing things during Simblreen they may not be allowed to.
Let's make things clear here: We only ask for the gifts to be given for free, as in not paywalled. This is the only things we do not budge on. When you participate, how you give out your gifts, what kind of gifts you have, what sims games your gifts are for, etc., are up to you. And if you do not have gifts, that's okay too! You can trick or treat, you can do CAS challenges or edits, do spooky stories, or you can simply not participate at all!
We are not here to police how you participate in Simblreen. We are here to help and give advice when asked for it and uplift anyone making content for Simblreen.
Our goal is for anyone who wishes to participate in Simblreen to have as much fun as possible, and to go about it as stress-free as possible.
TL:DR we just want you to be happy around Halloween! 🎃
If you already participated, thank you so, so much. The survey has been revised as of mid-November to add more questions and will now probably take at least 30 minutes to complete in full. It is detailed. You should not attempt to complete it on mobile away from your simming computer.
The survey is for ALL TS2 players, whether you have pink flashing in your game or not.
I now anticipate releasing the analysis report in early January 2024. For your data to meaningfully contribute to this analysis, a response deadline of December 15, 2023 is being established.
DM me if you already took the original survey, want to answer the additional (follow-up) questions, and haven't already heard from me.
PLEASE REBLOG for maximum reach, even if you already responded or reblogged my original solicitation for responses.
THANKS EVERYONE!!

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 😭
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.
(He/Him) I share mostly Sims 2 content, not at a consistent rate. (Also known as Sonikku3 and jdps18 on different websites)
