And Now For Something Completely Different…

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.

This is really exiting, just the fact it’s possible blows my mind!

I made a thing. Still quite wip.

I basically took earlypleasantview's dish controller and took it a bit further: what you see here is an accessory mesh controller and I'm stupidly excited about it

Big thx to @earlypleasantview for the concept and @logansimmingwolverine for the meshes

I am fully convinced that playing The Sims 2 and installing custom content for The Sims 2 are two completely different games.

Love The Sims 2, can't wait to play it one day.

@staff @support what the heck, first @2fingerswhiskey and now I’m hearing about @amberdefault and @suratan-zir being deleted too?! what gives, bring them back, this is absurd

ANOTHER simblr deleted

First @2fingerswhiskey got deleted and now it looks like @suratan-zir too? She was just posting earlier today so I’m pretty sure she wouldn’t have deleted herself (I certainly hope not!).

@staff can you get it together and stop deleting people’s blogs? This is becoming ridiculous!

Thank you for incorporating my translation! I'm glad to be of help!

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! 🐇

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

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. ITEMS Notes (§1, §5, §10, §20, §50, §100, §500, and §1000) (4-6 poly) Rolls (§1000, §2K, §5K, and §10K) (168-170 poly) Stacks (§1000, §2K, §5K, and §10K) (20-62 poly) Coin Piles (§100, §500, §1000, §5K, §10K) (660-1904 poly) Cards (§100, §500, §1000, §5K, §10K) (4 poly) Palettes (§10K, §20K, §30K) (286-710 poly) Collector Coins (§300, §500, §1000, §2K, §5K, §10K, §20K, §30K) (76-732 poly) Signs (332-376 poly) Card Shelf (9 slots) (104 poly) DOWNLOAD (choose one) CASHPOINTE OBJECTS from SFS | from MEGA RECOLORS from SFS | from MEGA MoneyMAT COLLECTION FILE from SFS | from MEGA

Get Your "Hoops" High - Two Basketball Hoops based on the Store Basketball Hoop

Note: I'm really sorry for the cheap, bad pun, but i couldn't come with anything.

WCIF areas in a forum are the best source of ideas one can find, expecially those things no one has made and you think "Hey, this is actually a neat idea", One of Kimmi's WCIF was a version of the Store Basketball Hoop, withouth the floor marks and the pole, so i did it, then Cloudwalker asked if i could do a version withouth the Board, i said no problem, one/two weeks later, here it is (If it wasn't for Cloud to explain me how to import package files to Workshop, my guess would be that the boardless hoop wouldn't have been released)

(Sorry for the picture wonkiness, i required two floors to do this)

Details:

- They aren't attachtable to the wall, the reason for this is that if they were, the hoops would stand in the oposite direction of the wall, i recomend the use of the "Moveobjects on" cheat to place them right were you want.

- They require the ORIGINAL Store Basketball Hoop (be it .package or .sims3pack), it doesn't come with the file but... it shoudn't be hard to find ;)

Terms of use (Boring Part):

- You can use them for whatever you want, but don't claim it is yours and post them at paysites and the exchange, that is just cheap.

I don’t tend to reblog a lot of things these days, but this is too exiting not to reblog

Coinage - Part 1

The Time as come to finally release this, I’ve started working on this since… Late July, And I only released this today because I decided to motivate myself to do so.

So now I’m giving you all not 1, not 2, not 10… a whopping 71 CASH DEFAULTS with Coins, Shells, Gems and other assortments of Historic and Fantasy Currencies.

So for Starters we have hriveresse Drachmas converted from their acessory form, Hodgekisse’s Medieval Coins with 2 more extra styles of coin (Boat and White Gold Tower) besides the original 2 styles (Face and Imperial) in 3 colors for a whooping 12 Defaults, worship4ever0227 Investment Silver, with Xia’s 4 recolors, and 3 styles of Asian Coins, by me, Koban and Tenpo Tsuho only have one Color as of now, but the One I call “Cash Coins” has 7 Defaults:

- Thuận Thiên Nguyên Bảo

- Sangpyeong Tongbo

- Eiraku Tsuho/Yongle Tongbao/Vĩnh Lạc Thông Bảo (In Copper and Silver)

- Qianlong Tongbao/Càn Long Thông Bảo

- Hongwu Tongbao

- Wu Zhu

We also have some Gemstones from TSM in 7 Sun & Moon Colors, The Nuggets are based on an edited free mesh from Sketchfab, it only came in gold, so I made silver and copper colors, And Pearls from Skyrim, although the texture is not from Skyrim.

And I couldn’t forget seashell Currencies, We have Cowrie Shells, made by me, Bon Voyage Seashells, and Sand Dollars from Retailsims

And for the Legend of Zelda Afficionados out there, we have Rupees, A Rupee Bag from Hyrule Warriors, and a Bunch of Rupees from Link’s Awakening Remake, All come in 7 defaults each.

And to end it all, we have Frac’s Coin Pouch in 3 leather colors and 3 coin colors, making 9 defaults each, and a burlap pouch with salt and rice for currency, adding 2 more defaults for a total of 11 coin pouch defaults, we also have 3 Bottlecap defaults from Fallout 4 (Two Nuka Cola and One Sunset Sarsparilla) and to finish, Cocoa Beans made by me.

Some of these meshes might clip in Sim Hands, I tried mitigating it at best, but that’s gonna have to be something you’ll have to live with if you use them.

Feel free to use meshes I did for whatever, just give credit and don’t put them behind a paywall.

This will be all for the time being, I might do a part 2 later down the line, but for the time being, enjoy all the defaults. Special Thanks to @fireflowersims​, @fracturedmoonlight​, @hodgekiss​ and @illenlan​ for helping me with fetching for references and resources.

Swatches are included in the files, File have also been compressorized.
