This is all Sims 2 Stuff though, i’ll upload a couple of Sims 3 related content sooner

The Keep and Privacy Concerns

In light of the recent debate about AI scraping of websites for images, we at Plumb Bob Keep would like to publicly state that we, as a site, will never sell anyone's data for advertisement or AI purposes, ever. We also do not use any tracking technology at all. We are committed to our members' privacy.

Having said that, we cannot influence what our current webhost may or may not do. To our knowledge, they are not selling any of our data, but we cannot dictate to them. We are working towards moving the Keep to a new webhost, with more control over our content, but it will take time.

If you are concerned about your pictures being used by AI bots without your permission, there are two programs that are being recommended: Glaze, a defensive program that puts an imperceptible layer over your art, and Nightshade, an offensive program that make the AI unable to identify the images in the work. You can use them together, as well. Both require large computer resources (Glaze more than Nightshade) - one person compared it to running Minecraft - they do not do well with transparency, and they do take time to process the images, but they are what the community has available right now.

Question

Does anyone know if someone converted any of the coffee bars from sims 3 and 4 to 2, I thought the one from 3 was converted but I can’t seem to find it.

"Repo What You Bow" - Lama's AC Crossbow as a Repogun DR

This is a quick project that had been floating on my head on and off, but decided to tackle now as a bit of a palate cleanser from other projects I'm working on

This is Lady Lama's Assassin's Creed Crossbow conversion as a functional default replacement for the Repogun.

Why a crossbow, you may ask, what are the logistics of a crossbow taking away your stuff? Magic I suppose, also, Rule of Cool, it looks really cool in action (well, it does have clipping going on, tried to mitigate it as much as I could, but I can live with it)

Credits: Lady Lama for the original conversion

Mini-tutorial for SimPe users

What's that "Merge" button for?

'Merge' button allows you to quickly add / replace only a part of material properties inside recolour package.

Export the settings (.xml file) from recolour A

Open .xml file with text editor like Notepad

Locate and remove the lines you don't want to replace / add to recolour B, for example: remove base texture name if you don't want to link clothing recolour B to texture resource used by clothing recolour A*

Open recolour B and hit Merge to open pop-up window. Pick the edited xml and import the settings. Remember to Commit and save.

*note: TS2 Bodyshop recolours like clothing, accessories, hair are linked to a specific texture only with TXMT Properties. In case of object recolours you also need to add / edit texture name inside File List tab.

I use Merge method to link a batch of clothing recolours to the same normal map texture included with the mesh file.

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):

Mutha Fuckin' SOPA Is Back! (Aug. 23, 2013)

The Obama administration announced that it will be bringing back a piece of SOPA legislation that would make streaming copyrighted material a felony.

Can you believe this shit? When we finally get one off our backs, they try and bring up another bill AGAIN. We already said no to the first one, so why do they think that this is any better?

For those of you who don’t know what SOPA is, it was a bill back in 2011 that the govn’t tried to pass that said that posting any copyrighted music or even COVERS of said music would be considered a felony. A. FELONY.

Sign the petition below, and let’s keep our internet the way we like it.

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.

and now without further ado! Download Here - Neocities

And Happy 20th Birthday The Sims 2!!!
